After rebirth, my elder sister wants to steal my husband!

Chapter 257 Not Buying It

She felt unprecedentedly confused and speechless.

"I...I don't know what to say." There was a hint of trembling in Lu Zhiran's voice.

Ding Liang looked at Lu Zhiran, with a gentle light in his eyes. He gently stretched out his hand and wanted to touch Lu Zhiran's cheek. However, his hand was dodged by Lu Zhiran.

"Please respect yourself." There was a hint of coldness in Lu Zhiran's voice, "There is no possibility between you and me."

Ding Liang was stunned by Lu Zhiran's words. He didn't expect Lu Zhiran to reject him so directly. He took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm.

"I know you can't accept me now." Ding Liang's voice was filled with helplessness, "But I will give you time to get to know me slowly."

When Lu Zhiran heard this, he felt an inexplicable irritation in his heart.

She didn't know how to face Ding Liang's enthusiasm and persistence, nor did she know how to protect herself in this situation. She took a deep breath and decided to avoid the topic for the time being.

"Mr. Ding, let's talk business first." Lu Zhiran changed the subject, "You snatched me away and put me here? My husband Fu Yuzhang must be going crazy looking for me!"

"I don't know what you are going to do next."

Seeing Lu Zhiran regain his composure so quickly, Ding Liang's eyes flashed with interest.

Ding Liang: "Since you are not going to compromise, why should I tell you my plan?"

As Ding Liang finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense. Lu Zhiran's heart trembled, but she knew very well that she couldn't show any panic at this time.

She smiled slightly, with a determined light in her eyes.

"Mr. Ding, perhaps there are indeed some misunderstandings between us. But no matter what, you should understand that the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion is not something you can easily offend."

"And I am, no matter what, the wife of Fu Yuzhang of Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. Once they know what you have done, they will not let you go!"

"I advise you to put me back quietly, otherwise..."

Ding Liang was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Lu Zhiran to say such a thing.

Then he burst into laughter.

"So are you threatening me now?"

Ding Liang moved closer to Lu Zhiran, staring at her with his eyes fixed, as if he wanted to see through her heart.

"Threat? No, I'm just stating the facts." Lu Zhiran answered calmly, without any fear in her eyes.

"You should know the strength of the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion. If they knew what you did to me, do you think you can still stay here safe and sound?"

Ding Liang stared at Lu Zhiran coldly.

Suddenly he spoke.

"Lu Zhiran, how about we make a bet? If Fu Yuzhang can rescue you, then I will let you go. If he doesn't have that ability, then you will follow me from now on."

Does this person make sense?

Lu Zhiran felt irritated.

But Ding Liang no longer wanted to talk about this topic.

"You haven't eaten for a whole day, you must be hungry!"

As soon as Ding Liang finished saying this, Qing'er outside the door brought in a bowl of steaming white porridge, which was filled with fragrance.

"Zhiran, eat something." Ding Liang's voice was soft, but it revealed an irresistible majesty.

Lu Zhiran looked up at him, a hint of disgust flashed across her eyes, but it quickly disappeared. She lowered her eyes and said nothing.

Seeing this, Ding Liang couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart. He forcibly handed the bowl to Lu Zhiran, and said in a commanding tone: "You must eat it."

Lu Zhiran bit his lower lip tightly, not wanting to give in.

But I’m hungry!

She finally took the bowl and ate in small bites.

However, this porridge is quite delicious.

Ding Liang looked at Lu Zhiran eating porridge, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.

Realizing that he was in a bad mood, Ding Liang turned around and walked out of the room.

Lu Zhiran was left alone with a confused look on his face.

Something is wrong!

This person.

As the night deepened and the moonlight was like water, Lu Zhiran lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

After all, she was indeed worried about being in an unfamiliar environment.

I don’t want to think about it anymore, I don’t want to think about it anymore!

Go to bed quickly.

Lu Zhiran closed his eyes, hoping to fall asleep quickly.

Ding Liang stood outside the door, listening to the noise coming from inside the house, feeling mixed emotions.

The night was as dark as ink. In the quiet old house, there was only the sound of wind blowing through the treetops and the occasional chirping of insects in the distance. Lu Zhiran lay in bed, with a lot of thoughts in his mind, unable to fall asleep.

Just as her thoughts were in a mess, a slight sound of footsteps broke the silence of the night. Lu Zhiran sat up alertly and looked at the door nervously. Ding Liang pushed the door open and walked in, holding an oil lamp in his hand, illuminating the dim room.

"It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?" There was some concern in Ding Liang's voice.

Lu Zhiran did not answer, but just looked at him coldly. Seeing this, Ding Liang did not ask any more questions, put the oil lamp on the table, walked to the bed and sat down.

He stared at Lu Zhiran's face, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

"I was worried that you couldn't sleep, so I brought an oil lamp."

Ding Liang said flatteringly.

Lu Zhiran said coldly: "If you want me to sleep well, you should let me go."

Seeing that Lu Zhiran didn't buy it, Ding Liang said.

"I won't let you go unless you fall in love with me."

Ding Liang's voice was firm but helpless. He knew that his feelings for Lu Zhiran were deep in his bones, but he also knew that this feeling was just a bondage to Lu Zhiran.

Lu Zhiran remained silent, her eyes fixed on the moonlight outside the window, as if she wanted to see the outside world through the thin window paper. Her heart had already flown out of this small courtyard and into the vast world.

Seeing this, Ding Liang's heart tightened. He was afraid that Lu Zhiran would leave him and leave the cage he had carefully built for her. He stood up, walked to the window, and gently closed the window, as if he wanted to lock up Lu Zhiran's heart as well.

"It's late, you should go to bed early." There was a hint of tenderness in Ding Liang's voice, but more of it was unquestionable firmness.

Lu Zhiran didn't say anything, but just lay back on the bed silently and closed her eyes. She knew that no matter how she struggled, she couldn't escape the control of this man. But in her heart, she always had a glimmer of hope, hoping that one day she could regain her freedom.

As the night deepened, the moonlight shone through the window onto Lu Zhiran's face, which looked unusually soft under the moonlight. Ding Liang stood by the bed, looking at her quietly, his eyes full of complicated emotions. He knew that his love for Lu Zhiran had penetrated deep into his bones, but he also knew that this love would only make Lu Zhiran more miserable.

He sighed softly and turned to leave the room. He knew that he needed to give Lu Zhiran some time to let her slowly accept him. He also needed some time to think about how to make Lu Zhiran willing to stay by his side.
