Chapter 331 Make it clear

Lu Ji was silent for a moment, then followed.

The little woman was sitting on the bed, her face wooden, her eyes drooped, and she looked listless.

She has been raised by him since she was seven years old. No one knows this little girl's temper and personality better than Lu Ji.

He knew what she wanted.

In fact, Lu Ji was willing to give her what she wanted.

The man never thought of marrying anyone except her.

It's just that this little woman is so selfish and insincere, which really makes men angry.

He was deliberately trying to teach her a lesson.

But seeing how lost and sad she was, he couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted.

I felt soft-hearted, yet angry at her ungratefulness.

Finally, Lu Ji walked up to the little woman, looked down at her, and said, "You feel very hurt, don't you?"

The tone was very steady, revealing seriousness.

Qin Xiaoning also understood men. If he spoke coldly, it would be easy to deal with, as he was just throwing a tantrum. But every time he was so calm, it meant he was serious.

Qin Xiaoning raised her head and looked at Lu Ji, and asked him: "Lu Ji, do you look down on me?"

Without waiting for his response, she murmured to herself, "I lost my father when I was young, and you took me in and took good care of me. But every time something happened, I always selfishly considered myself first."

Lu Ji listened quietly, lowered his eyes to look at her, and snorted inaudibly.

"You still know." he said.

The little woman nodded and said frankly: "Of course I know that between us, your contribution to me far exceeds my contribution."

As she spoke, she glanced at the man with guilt in her eyes, then lowered her head again and continued to tell the love and hate between them: "When you were young, you went to fight in Hexi. I knew that battle was very important to you. I also knew that you didn't know when you would return. You missed me and didn't want to be separated from me for too long. You wanted me to stay with you, but I became a 'deserter' halfway because I didn't want to suffer that hardship."

Mentioning this, Lu Ji snorted coldly.

The little woman raised her eyes and glanced at him, then continued, "The Battle of Hexi made you famous at a young age, but I know that you must have had an extremely hard time during those years of fighting."

After a pause, she spoke again with a choked voice: "Lu Ji, when you were in the most difficult time, I was not able to accompany you because of my selfishness."

"I'm sorry for you." She said with tears.

Seeing her crying, Lu Ji's expression softened slightly.

He sighed slightly and replied to her: "Forget it, forget it, it's been so many years, why bring it up again."

Her tears flowed even more violently.

The man's heart softened, he took out a handkerchief and handed it to him, and gently advised: "Okay, don't cry, didn't the doctor say that a pregnant wife can't cry."

The little woman took the handkerchief and wiped her tears: "Just listen to what I have to say."

She calmed down and continued, "Also, I know that my leaving this time must have broken your heart."

"At the beginning, you were constrained by the Jiang family and suppressed by the late emperor. You were under great pressure and had no choice but to get engaged to the daughter of the Wang family."

She paused, sighed and said, "I should understand you."

When this was mentioned, Lu Ji couldn't help getting angry again. "You finally understand now." He rolled his eyes at the little woman and said, suppressing his temper, "I told you again and again to be patient for a while. I won't let you be wronged in the future, but you just didn't listen and quietly slipped away."

Having said that, Lu Ji couldn't control his emotions, his face turned ashen, and the veins on his forehead also bulged slightly.

He pointed at Qin Xiaoning with shaking hands and said, "Do you know how worried I am that you're leaving like this?"

The man spoke word by word, his tone filled with sadness and anger.

The little woman lowered her head, ready for him to scold her, but after the man said this, she choked.

When she looked up again, she saw that he was already in tears.

Even a tough guy like Lu Ji has cried before.

The first time she saw him cry was when he was forced to get engaged to Wang Fengyi. At night, he was sitting alone in the study. She groped in the dark and went to him. She hugged him and cried quietly.

Another time, when he found her in Shuwang, he hugged her at night, tears falling on her face.

He is a proud person, so even if he is vulnerable, he has to hide it.

This was the first time I cried openly in front of her.

It was obvious how deeply she hurt him.

Qin Xiaoning stretched out her arms and hugged Lu Ji, buried her head in his chest and said in a muffled voice: "I was wrong, I'm sorry."

After a long while, Lu Ji raised his arms and hugged her back: "It's rare to hear your sincere apology."

The man had already controlled his emotions, and there was even a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

The little woman wiped her tears in his arms, raised her eyes and said to him angrily: "You are wrongly accusing me. When you came to Shuwang to look for me, didn't I sincerely apologize to you?"

Lu Ji was amused, but said helplessly, "You are just being perfunctory because you are afraid that I will punish you."

He glared at her: "Do you think I can't see it?"

Yes, a little bit.

She grew up with him, and the man treated her like a father and a brother. Whenever she did something wrong, she could not escape his scolding.

Secretly, the little woman was a little afraid of him.

She did not deny it, but justified herself by saying, "I know you are angry, but I tried to comfort you with kind words at that time, but you refused to give in. Otherwise, we would not have been quarreling for so many days."

As the little woman spoke, she glared at the man with a delicate and naive look.

Lu Ji wiped away the tears from her eyes with his fingertips and scolded her, "You only coaxed me for less than two days and you lost your patience."

As he spoke, the man gritted his teeth and pinched her ear: "Tell me, I said you were perfunctory to me, did I wrongly accuse you?"

The little woman felt guilty and just lowered her eyes without saying a word.

The man snorted, and then continued: "You just want me to give you the position of princess, but when I didn't mention it, you just turned hostile."

As he spoke, he could not help but grit his teeth at her: "You have been so bad-tempered towards me all day long, and you even took the initiative to give my child to someone else, Qin Xiaoning, if it weren't for the fact that you are pregnant, I would be so angry that I would want to slap you."

Seeing that he was still nagging her, she buried herself in his arms: "Who told you not to explain it to me earlier? If you had explained it to me earlier, I wouldn't have treated you like that."

Lu Ji held her small body and lifted her up from his chest, staring at her and asked, "A Ning, sometimes I really don't understand. I love you so much, is it that the only thing you care about is the status? In your heart, do you love me as well?"
