Chapter 501 The One Who Deserves Was Not In His Heart

Clad in light blue colored robes, Lu Jianye stepped out of his room.

His lips had a small smile that made him look only more handsome. Though Lu Clan was not as popular and prosperous as Li or Xi Clan in Imperial City, everyone has started to believe that it will soon reach there because of only this one man.

He was eloquent in the Imperial Court and handsome in every girl's eyes of the Imperial City.

After Lu Jianye had gained the first position in last year's Imperial exam, Lu Clan as well as him attracted most of the people's attention.

Even Lu Jianye knew that Li Na's father, Li Qiang was ready to marry Li Na to him only because he had this one achievement in his account otherwise he had nothing that could make him capable enough in Li Qiang's eyes to marry Li Na, or that was what he thought.

The thought of Li Na unconsciously widened the smile on his lips. However, it disappeared as soon as it came because he soon seemed to remember that Li Na had been banned to enter the Imperial Palace in the Mid Autumn Celebration Banquet.

His heart was suddenly depressed and his steps proceeding towards the living room of Lu Manor also slowed down.

He had actually forgotten that Li Na had been banned and hence he put so much effort to make himself look presentable enough in front of her. He was now as disappointed as he was excited last night to see Li Na again.

Now he suddenly wished that he could miss it and go to Li Manor to see Li Na.

In fact, after he had received Li Na's mother's letter, he had not talked to Li Na even once.

That incident had put Lu Jianye in a very awkward situation. Though the letter made the situation better later, he thought that he still should talk to Li Na regarding this matter once.

He should try to assure her that she would never be wronged in Lu Manor as long as he was there for her and that was going to be forever.

Lu Jianye was indeed very naive in all these matters.

But now Li Na was not going to be there and he still needed to attend the banquet regardless of how much he didn't want to. After all, attending an Imperial banquet also places a very important position in the process of making Lu Clan progress. Because only through such banquets, he could make connections, and hence slowly and slowly Lu Clan would also gain its place in the higher rankings noble families.

Lu Jianye's plan was indeed admirable. There was just one problem with all these plans. Before all of this, he was doing it because he really wanted his clan to progress. But now he was doing all this because he wanted Li Na to feel that he was no less than Xi Ying.

So that she would never do what she did that day again.

The naive Lu Jianye never knew that Li Na never deserved everything he was doing for her.

"Brother Jianye."

Lu Jianye heard the soft voice as soon as he stepped inside the living room.

He froze, for a moment, as he seemed to recognize this voice and also its owner.

Sure enough, as the footsteps sounded and the person appeared in front of him, he saw Yu Wei.

She was clad in a very beautiful light blue colored dress that matched his clothes' color. Lu Jianye didn't know if she had done it purposefully or it was just a coincidence.

As if sensing what he was thinking by seeing her continuous gaze on her dress, Yu Wei explained

"It is a coincidence."

Lu Jianye looked away instantly and embarrassment filled his heart when he realized that he was just staring at a girl's dress who was not Li Na.

Yu Wei smiled sadly seeing this.

"Brother Jianye, how am I looking in this dress?"

It, of course, took Yu Wei's whole courage to ask this question to Lu Jianye. She, after all, was a very shy woman but she really wanted to hear his answer ... something that she knew he would never say until she would ask him.

Something that she could only ask him because he was the man she loved with her whole heart.

Lu Jianye moved his eyes to look at Yi Wei again. As his eyes fell on the sad smile on her lips, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. A part of his heart knew the reason.

He feels guilty every time he sees Yu Wei.

She has become a knot inside his heart. Every time he would look at her, he would be able to see the love for himself in her eyes but it only made him feel more guilty.

She was also right at her place. She had been betrothed to him and she loved him sincerely ...there was nothing wrong in that. In fact, he was supposed to do the same, but he didn't and hence he feels guilty every time he sees her.

"You look beautiful." A genuine compliment escaped from his lips in the end.

But he didn't know whether it was Rey genuine or it was because of yeh sympathy he felt for the girl standing in front of him.

"You know ...you can marry someone else...a person who will love you..."

As soon as these words escaped his lips, Lu Jianye regretted immensely because Yu Wei's eyes started to fill with tears.

And how could she not cry!

Here she was ready to become his concubine just so she would be able to see him every day.

And the same man was telling her that she should marry someone else.

Did he think that she didn't think of that!

She was also helpless ...left helpless by her own feelings that won't let her see herself with any other man except him.

But how would Lu Jianye understand all this?

After all, his heart was so full of Li Na right now that there was no space for her there!
