Chapter 52 Fan Ruoruo refuses to break off the engagement and "meets" Li Chengyun again late at night
Although Li Chengze's momentum seemed to be mighty and his reputation shook the world, Fan Jian was clear-headed and knew that Li Chengze was no longer strong enough and that his fight with Li Chengyun might not be sustainable.

The power of a grandmaster is extraordinary and is equivalent to thousands of troops. This statement is by no means false.

Fan Jian knew even more clearly that Emperor Qing had deep thoughts.

Li Chengyun holds the power of a grandmaster and has enormous influence, which must have aroused your majesty's suspicion.

At this moment, he is like the eye of a whirlpool, surrounded by dangers. If he is not careful, he may be doomed.

Fan Jian is a calm and composed person who knows how to protect himself, so he is unwilling to get involved in this dispute easily.

Therefore, he absolutely did not want his beloved daughter Fan Ruoruo to marry Li Chengyun.

Such an action is tantamount to pushing a daughter into a fire pit, and it is more likely to implicate the Fan family and bring disaster to Fan Xian.

Thinking of this, Fan Jian looked at Fan Ruoruo with a serious look, and said earnestly:
"Ruoruo, you once said you wanted to cancel the engagement, and your father has been worried about it. In a few days, I will ask His Majesty to resign from this engagement to avoid you being wronged."

Upon hearing this, Fan Ruoruo was shocked and quickly waved her hands, saying anxiously:
"Don't worry, father. I will take care of this matter myself. There is no need to trouble you."

After saying this, she thought to herself but didn't know what to do.

Fan Jian was puzzled and asked softly:
"My son, have you always disliked the Sixth Prince? Previously, you insisted that I reject the marriage on your behalf. Now that I have this intention, you seem unwilling to do so. Why?"

Fan Ruoruo felt bitter when she heard this.

It's not that I don't want to, but times have changed and it's hard to say it.

She has already offered her body to Li Chengyun. Wouldn't it be absurd to refuse the marriage now?
"No! Never!"

She cried out in her heart, but did not dare to show it on her face.

She knew very well that if she told her father about her sacrifice, he would be furious.

So, she thought of a way out and found a reason:
"Father, I have thought it through. How can I make things difficult for you? This is a marriage granted by your majesty. I am willing to devote myself to the country and do my best to help."

When Fan Jian heard this, he suddenly realized what was going on and immediately showed a guilty look on his face:

"My son is indeed too sensible. As a father, I feel ashamed of you. What I did before was indeed inappropriate. Don't worry, this time I will persuade Your Majesty to revoke your order."

Fan Ruoruo felt helpless and tried to comfort Fan Jian, telling him not to worry too much about her.

In fact, Li Chengyun is not a bad choice, but Fan Jian has made up his mind and believes that Li Chengyun is a difficult problem, so he insists on rejecting the marriage for Fan Ruoruo.

Fan Ruoruo was extremely helpless, knowing that she could not go against her father's wishes, so she could only sigh.

Seeing that there was no hope of convincing her father, she had to find another way.

Fan Ruoruo thought about it secretly and decided to visit Li Chengyun again in private to ask him to find a way to resolve this dilemma.

After all, the two of them are already husband and wife. If Li Chengyun dares to abandon her, she swears to fight to the death and will never let him off!
……

The Northern Qi imperial city stands majestically.

Haitang Duoduo and her group finally returned here.

The news spread like wildfire, quickly reaching the ears of Zhan Doudou and the Queen Mother.

The assassination attempt failed.

Li Chengyun was not killed, but their collaborator, the deposed Crown Prince of Nanqing, Li Chengqian, had fallen into the dust.

The Queen Mother heard this and a look of regret appeared on her face:
"The existence of Li Chengqian, the deposed crown prince, is of great significance."

"If we had known this earlier, we should have brought him here first. He would have been of great use to us."

"Now, alas, the deceased is gone, which is a pity."

Zhan Doudou also felt sorry, but what hurt him more was that he failed to get rid of Li Chengyun:

"The Sixth Prince of Qing is indeed not an ordinary person. He was able to escape from the hands of my junior master. He will become a big trouble in the future!"

"It would be great if we could get rid of it this time!"

The Queen Mother nodded:

"Not only that, he also has a great master assisting him." "Now that Li Chengyun has not been eliminated, Qing Kingdom will be even more powerful, with the help of another great master."

"We must be extremely careful in our future actions, otherwise, Qi will face a catastrophe!"

Haitang Duoduo couldn't help feeling a surge of emotion in her heart.

She really had not expected that Li Chengyun actually possessed strength above the ninth rank, and he hid it so deeply that it was unbelievable.

Originally, he thought this was just an easy assassination attempt, but who would have thought that in the end, he was not able to defeat the opponent and was injured by him instead. It was really humiliating.

……

The night is getting darker.

Fan Ruoruo sneaked out of the Fan Mansion while it was dark, and jogged all the way to Zuixianju.

She wasn't actually sure if Li Chengyun was here, but this was the only place she knew where she might find him.

Fortunately, her luck seemed to be good.

As soon as she stepped onto the third floor, she saw Li Chengyun.

What was rare today was that Li Chengyun did not let Si Lili accompany him, so Fan Ruoruo saw him alone again.

Li Chengyun's perception was extremely sharp, and he immediately noticed someone coming up the stairs.

Fan Ruoruo did not peek this time, but walked in front of Li Chengyun quite naturally.

After Li Chengyun saw that it was Fan Ruoruo, his expression relaxed, and he couldn't help but teased:

"My lady, why did you come to me at this time? Could it be that you miss your husband?"

Hearing these frivolous words, Fan Ruoruo spat lightly, her cheeks slightly red, and said:

"Who missed you? I just have something to talk to you about."

"Oh?" Li Chengyun couldn't help but feel a little curious when he heard that. What could Fan Ruoruo want to talk to him about?
However, would he just stand there motionless before asking?
With a flash, Li Chengyun was beside Fan Ruoruo. He put his arm around her, took a few steps back, and the two of them fell on the couch together.

Fan Ruoruo's face flushed instantly, she struggled a few times, and said shyly:
"What are you doing?"

"Of course, I am here to chat with my wife about the private matters in the boudoir."

Li Chengyun's hands started to get a little dishonest. Fan Ruoruo suddenly gasped and tried her best to stop him.

"Don't be like this, I really have something to tell you." She said hurriedly.

Upon hearing this, Li Chengyun stopped what he was doing.

Fan Ruoruo struggled to sit up and said solemnly:

"Just today, my father said that he would go to the emperor to refuse the marriage in a few days. What do you think?"

She stared at Li Chengyun closely, waiting for his answer.

Li Chengyun also stood up, took her gently into his arms, and said:
"Huh? Could it be that my father-in-law is so dissatisfied with me? But my wife is already mine, how can I let her go so easily? You are mine for the rest of my life."

When Fan Ruoruo heard this, she felt relieved. She rolled her eyes at him and said:
"Humph! You're smart. If you dare to abandon me, I will..."

Before she finished speaking, Li Chengyun had already leaned his head on her shoulder, leaned close to her ear, and whispered:
"What about you?"

His warm breath brushed over Fan Ruoruo's earlobe, causing her body to soften involuntarily. Her eyes were like water, and she looked charming as she whispered:
"Anyway, I will never forgive you."

Li Chengyun felt her soft body, as soft as jade, and saw her seductive and irresistible figure, and a raging fire suddenly ignited in his heart.

"It seems that my lady can't leave me anymore. Tonight, I will treat you well and let you deeply understand my determination."

The moonlight dances and reflects her beautiful face,
The love is full of sorrow and affection.

I can't help feeling so deeply in love.
When two hearts are in love, they speak the truth.
