Qie Xieling might have said that to him but he didn't mean it. Let who go? From the day Luo Muchen provoked him first there was no way he was ever going to let him go.
Luo Muchen almost subconsciously answered that he didn't have to share him but when he recalled that he needed to marry into the Zi family to become clan leader he stopped himself. This had been his goal for years ever since his father brought him back. He wanted to do this for himself. That was his main focus and he wasn't going to let anyone ruin it for him. But ever since Qie Xieling came he was wavering and when he tried to push him away the moment he saw him he would lose control of his emotions... just like now.
"I will... let you go. If that's what you want but... only after we return," he said and Qie Xieling glared at him his anger burning within him, yet he managed to reign it in, his voice steady but laced with determination.
