His Rui

"No!"

Lu Jianye said immediately as he held Li Na's hand. The poor man didn't even know that breaking this marriage was never in Li Na's hands. 

His heart was slightly hurt after hearing Li Na's words.

He had done so much for this marriage. For the first time, he went against his father. He was ready to leave his clan to marry Li Na.

But she said that she will break this marriage so easily even after she knew that his father didn't agree that easily with this marriage.

Did his efforts…his love didn't mean anything to her?

Lu Jianye tried to make himself understand that perhaps Li Na was just jealous. The thought made all of his grievances vanish suddenly and he asked Li Na with a smile on his lips.

"Are you perhaps jealous?"

Li Na had wanted to scoff and roll her eyes. Lu Jianye didn't even have anything until now that could make her jealous if another woman tried to get him.

She was marrying him because she didn't have any choice…because she enjoyed the attention he gave her as if she was the most beautiful and sensible woman in the world.

She had always wanted to be treated like that. However, it had always been Li Rui who was treated like that whether it was in Li Manor or somewhere else …of course except the Imperial Palace.

However, now after marrying Xi Ying, no one in the Imperial Palace could say anything to her.

Li Na's eyes were again filled with envy when she remembered Xi Ying and Li Rui.

Why could she not get a man like Xi Ying?

On the other hand, Lu Jianye seeing Li Nan's black face chuckled as he thought that she was really jealous.

He felt very well as he held Li Na's hand more firmly and said.

"That girl…she was betrothed to me when I was young."

Li Na's eyes went sharp.

Betrothed ...didn't it mean that that girl was going to become Lu Jianye's main wife?

"However, I told my father that I would marry you only." 

Lu Jianye said hurriedly.

"I won't marry as her my main wife, Li Na."

"Won't marry her as your main wife…then what else?"

Li Na asked with narrowed eyes.

Lu Jianye swallowed and answered

"As a concubine. This is the condition that my father had put forward."

Li Na's eyes sharpened. She threw away Lu Jianye's hand and hurriedly stepped back.

"You will marry me as your wife and she will become your concubine after our marriage. How do you even think that I will marry you after knowing this?"

She was to become the sole woman of Lu Jianye...like Li Rui was the sole woman of Xi Ying. She would get no less than Li Rui.

She would not be mocked because her husband had a concubine when she was alive and present in Lu Manor as his wife. It would be so shameful for her. 

Li Na glared at Lu Jianye fiercely as she suddenly turned around and ran towards Lu Manor.

Lu Jianye was left startled by her actions.

He was afraid that Li Na would do what she had said just now. So he panicked and started to run behind her forgetting everything.       

"Li Na!"

Lu Jianye shouted when he suddenly noticed a horse stopping in front of Li Manor's gates.

Li Na also noticed the horse and since she was closer to the Li Manor's gates, she also saw who got down from the horse.

It was none other than Xi Ying.

Xi Ying's cold and indifferent eyes had sacred Li Na that day very much and she was very afraid of him since that day.

However, at this moment, Li Na was more scared that her father would really marry her off to Lu Jianye. Did he know that Lu Jianye was going to take Yu Wei as his concubine but he was still proceeding with this so-called proposal?

Li Na remembered her father's strict look and she thought that it was possible.

This was unacceptable to her.

She didn't want to become a mockery in the Imperial City. She didn't want to be mocked. 

"Prime Minister Xi"

She shouted for Xi Ying as soon as he got down from the horse and then ran towards her. 

Xi Ying's cold and indifferent eyes narrowed when he noticed Li Na running in his direction. He was ready to use his whip too if she tried anything or tried to throw herself at him.

However, what Li Na did was something else completely.

She threw herself in front of Xi Ying on her knees and said

"Prime Minister Xi, please take me as your concubine."

Lu Jianye who was still running towards her stopped amidst his steps suddenly when he heard Li Na's words.

He couldn't believe his ears at all.

However, when Li Na repeated her words, he had to believe them.

"Prime Minister Xi, please! I will live in one corner of Xi Manor and never disturb you but please take me as your concubine."

The guards who were guarding Lu Manor's gates saw this scene and one of them ran inside Li Manor to inform General Li what was going on outside.

Xi Ying, on the other hand, was not even looking at Li Na. His eyes went to Lu Jianye and he didn't even feel any pity seeing the young man's pitiful expression.

In his eyes, Lu Jianye was perhaps the most stupid and blind person that he could not see Li Na's true face. Perhaps he would be able to see it now.

Even after her marriage was already fixed with a man, she was begging some other man to marry him. He should be able to see everything clearly now, should not he?

Xi Ying stepped aside from the front of Li Na with a lazy expression on his face.

However, Li Na followed him like a dog. Her hands had wanted to touch Xi Ying, however, at this moment, she heard a furious shout and her face went pale.

"Li Na!"
