Sai Duo left almost in a hurry, afraid that if she waited even a second longer, the frail woman might have another accident and blame it on her.
Yelv Lie looked at the mess on the table and the floor, along with the frightened expression of the young girl on the bed.
He couldn't help but feel guilty...
Was he too fierce? If his Little Princess misunderstood and thought he was just as harsh to her, it wouldn't be good.
Yelv Lie called a servant to clean the room, and went to fetch a bowl of chicken soup himself.
This time, he quietly placed it on the table.
"Ahem, look at you, so thin you can't even beat the weakest woman in Bianliao Country! You useless thing! Come, drink the soup!"
Yelv Lie was well-meaning, but unfortunately he spoke.
Clearly, he brought the chicken soup to the Little Princess out of kindness to nourish her body, but the words he spoke were hardly pleasing.
Yun Chunnuan couldn't help but retort sarcastically, "Isn't it thanks to the General, so eager to play dad, with women adding up to a circle around the earth? I naturally can't compete."
The young girl's eyebrows curved, her dark eyes bright, her small nose not high yet very charming, presenting a stark contrast to the women of Bianliao with a delicate allure: her snow-white skin revealed a faint pink glow, like two layers of exquisite gauze overlapping, appearing both tender and precious.
Only those plump, rosy lips spoke words that were hard to understand...
But one thing Yelv Lie could be certain of: they were definitely not nice words.
Something about playing dad, something about women encircling the earth, he could guess.
Yet Yelv Lie spent long years at the border, hardly returning all year, with only his left hand accompanying his right hand, self-sufficient! Being still a fresh young lad now, he could not bear this grievance!
"Sai Duo is not my woman! And that child isn't either..."
"Oh, got it."
Yun Chunnuan couldn't care less about how much of a stud he really was.
She was planning to escape.
Once she understood Bianliao's terrain, she would leave; she definitely couldn't be part of a stud's harem.
This indifferent attitude left Yelv Lie's next words stuck in his throat.
With a stern face, he slowly approached.
Yun Chunnuan retreated cautiously, only to be grabbed by her slender ankle, and pulled into the broad chest.
The rough thumb held her chin, her skin tender as though it could be squeezed to yield water, the fine touch unbelievably delightful.
With just a simple contact, Yelv Lie felt a certain part of his body respond.
His throat tightened, and his breathing deepened.
Facing those black eyes filled with terror, Yelv Lie inexplicably felt a wave of irritability!
Why fear him like this? From last night to now, he hadn't done anything offensive to her; heaven knows how long he soaked alone in the cold water pool!
To avoid scaring the delicate Little Princess, yet she was still so afraid!
Oh, besides fear, there was disgust.
"Why do you hate me?"
He slaughtered a chicken for her; why hate him!
Yelv Lie had no experience with women, nor did he know how to speak in a way that pleased girls, doing everything right but saying things that were hard to hear; no wonder people disliked him.
Of course, Yun Chunnuan dared not speak directly.
Her phoenix eyes flickered, trying to hide her timidity, "I don't, but between lovers, there must be enough trust, and besides, I heard what you just said, so there's no need to explain."
The word "lovers" made Yelv Lie's eyes light up.
"Really?" He was delighted.
Yun Chunnuan discovered that this wild man seemed easy to appease.
"Really, even truer than pearls."
