Saving the Heartthrob Frenemy-Chapter 461: Get a second wife
Luo Muchen pressed his blade against Qie Xieling’s skin ready to end his life. A voice at the back of his neck was telling him that this was what he deserved. He had knowingly deceived him and crawled into his bed as his wife but his heart was telling him that if he did this he would regret it. He gritted his teeth and pressed the blade harder on Qie Xieling’s neck drawing blood but instead of fighting Qie Xieling surrendered completely. Luo Muchen’s chest tightened as he stared at the tear flowing down the corner of Qie Xieling’s eye. Last night’s memory suddenly flashed in his eyes. He recalled the warm tears flowing down his hand as he thrust inside of him. He suddenly had the urge to kiss Qie Xieling’s tears away.
When he realised what he was thinking he got up to his feet letting him go. He walked over to Bo Ailun and handed him his sword before leaving the courtyard. Bo Ailun was a little confused. He couldn’t understand why Luo Muchen couldn’t just finish this deceptive minx of, problem solved.
Qie Xieling sat up and wiped away the tear at the corner of his lip. He was still so pissed off at Luo Muchen and didn’t want to see him for a while.
Jolie hurried over and helped him up. Seeing how upset he was she asked, "Do you want to go eat something? I have money. I will buy you whatever you want."
Qie Xieling shook his head no. What he wanted was to drink and pass out. Granted it wouldn’t solve all his problems but he would at least forget them for a second. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
"I want some wine and a bed," he said and Jolie replied,
"I will get it for you. Let’s go inside."
Meanwhile, Master Lee was so angry about the entire incident that he chased away the Bi clan. How on earth was he supposed to show his face after all that? It would soon spread that his son was married to a ger from a brothel tarnishing his Lee family name. He had to sever ties with Bi’s family and deal with the gear.
Master Bi smiled slyly and said, "As you wish... but I suggest you find your son a concubine. As you know gers have a slim chance of giving birth."
Master Lee clenched his fist resisting the urge to fight with Master Bi. What he didn’t realise was that his wife’s family had gotten in cahoots with the Bi family and this way the Lee family would be under their control and a mere puppet. Luo Muchen was the best chance they got but after failing to consolidate his power by marrying a girl from one of the five clans his days as the figure clan leader of the Lee clan were numbered. And all the people he had pissed off ever since would ultimately deal with him after he was knocked off the throne.
"I said leave!" yelled Master Lee before turning around to go look for his son.
Luo Muchen was sitting in his study with a jar of wine before him. He was rubbing his forehead massaging his throbbing head. When the door opened he looked up and met his father’s eyes. Master Lee sat down opposite him and poured out some wine for himself.
The two of them sat in silence for a moment while drinking. Each had their own thoughts. After three drinks Master Lee asked, "How didn’t you know he was a ger on your wedding night?"
Luo Muchen’s eyes darkened recalling how he accommodated his bride and blew out the candlelight but it was all on deception.
"I was in a drunken daze and he didn’t want to take off her veil... I was being considerate but it turns out he was just stalling for time," he explained the annoyance in his voice hard to conceal.
Master Lee had plenty more questions but looking at his son’s expression he restrained himself.
"How about you divorce him and marry another bride?... I will visit the Zi family. They have an unmarried daughter of age," he said and Luo Muchen looked at his fingers pressing the porcelain cup tightly.
After a while, he said, "I don’t want to divorce him. I want Bi Yize to suffer."
Master Lee’s hand paused with the rim of the cup on his lips. He looked at his son and said, "In as much as I want you to revenge on that father and son it better to divorce that ger and then make him a concubine."
Luo Muchen downed the entire cup suppressing his emotions that were threatening to spill over.
"I will do as you say. That ger can’t be granted freedom not under my watch," he said and Master Lee smiled. That was a better compromise.

Luo Muchen was still so angry that he stayed clear of Qie Xieling for the next two days. This was meant to be the day they would visit the bride’s parents but the couple hadn’t even laid eyes on each other after spending one night together.
Qie Xieling knew what Luo Muchen was playing but with adviser Jolie by his side he didn’t panic. The two of them spent the two days playing games and drinking to their heart’s content.
Today however they decide to go onto the city for the moon festival. Jolie had a lot of money courtesy of Wen Qinxi. They could spend as much as they wanted.
Since Qie Xieling had no other clothes available he chose a blue outfit from the trunk. Jolie convinced one of the girls to do his hair to help him fix the outfit so it didn’t look like it was hanging on his slender frame.
The girl was even generous enough to put on light makeup on Qie Xieling’s face. By the time she was done with him, he looked like a fox demon here to lure men and women into his bed.
While they were walking towards the family mansion they passed several maidservants who laughed behind their backs with one even brazenly trying to bump into them. Qie Xieling didn’t have the patience to deal with immature girls so he dodged her and the young woman was startled. Her eyes widened as he fell forward only for Qie Xieling to reach over and catch her.
"Are you okay?" he asked as he helped her up.
Instead of being grateful she pushed him away and said, "Wash where you are going," before storming off with a hump. He might have been willing to let it go but Jolie wasn’t.
She lunged forward to scratch her face like a fierce cat but Qie Xieling held her back. "Don’t stop me. I need to put this bitch in her place!" she yelled while throwing her limbs all over the olace.
