The aura around him was scorching and intense!
The big hand gripping her, like an inescapable prison, held her firmly captive.
Impossible to break free!
"Nuannuan... Nuannuan..."
His fingertips were burning hot, like a blazing fire, just lightly touching her jade-like skin, causing a shiver to ripple through.
Those amber eyes, no longer exhibiting their usual clarity, had pupils tinged with dark green, deep and tender.
Mumbling in a hoarse tone, every word was her name.
Yun Chunnuan didn’t know what was wrong with him.
He cherished her so much, he would never act improperly towards her in front of others.
Yet with so many people present now, he acted like a madman, passionately kissing her from her lips downwards.
Suddenly, her heart ached uncontrollably.
She should push him away.
Such an offense even deserved a slap.
But...
"This is nonsense!" At this moment, a woman’s tender scolding voice rang out, "Someone! Drag the General to the bathhouse! Prepare cold water for him... No! Ice water! If it’s not cold enough, add ice! Let him regain his senses!"
Ayimu felt distressed for her son.
But as a woman herself, no matter how much she cared for her son, she had to consider her daughter-in-law’s feelings.
With so many people around, the noble little Princess of Great Xia Country was being treated like this by him, yet she didn’t push him away.
It showed she loved her son to the core.
She understood how difficult it was for a woman in a foreign land better than anyone, even if she still had some doubts about this Great Xia Princess, she would protect the young lady well.
Yelyu Lie’s rationality was long gone.
From the moment the little one appeared, the string that had always reminded him to stay composed went ’twang—’ and snapped.
He held her tightly, his grip growing stronger.
But at this moment, he was suddenly lifted by several people.
He was terrified, his eyes tinged with dark green, like a ferocious wolf ready to tear someone apart at any moment.
No one could get close to him!
Ayimu was both furious and heartbroken, that woman had placed a love poison on her son, and it was such a domineering Love-Eating Gu Worm!
Damn it!!!
She wanted to slap her son awake but hesitated because so many people were present.
"Lie’er, open your eyes and see who is in front of you? If you hurt her here, how will you handle the consequences!"
The mother’s cold yet stern voice carried a hint of severity.
This was the voice Yelyu Lie once both loved and hated, a voice that deeply influenced him.
His eyes, already dyed crimson, finally gained a trace of clarity.
He looked at the tender, soft figure in his arms, crying silently like a tearful porcelain doll.
In an instant, his heart wrenched like a knife.
"Nuannuan..."
He was already unable to speak, every breath triggering the poisonous insect within him...
"Don’t cry..." The man took deep breaths, one large hand cupping the little one’s face, while the other suppressed the poisonous insect within him.
Even at this point, he did not want to see her tears.
A soft, nasal sound came from her mouth, "What exactly happened?"
Yun Chunnuan didn’t know what happened, she could only see the man’s clothes had been torn to shreds.
Revealing the scar-covered skin beneath.
He had so many wounds, even if she applied Blood Beads on them daily, they were still everywhere.
He, however, worried for her, applying it once daily was already the limit.
Otherwise, he would rather bear the scars and not go.
The way he looked now, Yun Chunnuan couldn’t imagine what had happened when he went to the Queen’s palace.
Afraid to guess, afraid to think.
In distress, yet also fearful.
Ayimu watched from the side, feeling like she was being fed a mouthful of dog food.
She originally thought her son was an idiot uninterested in women, even having discussed with the master if he liked men.
The master, however, said the girl who was meant for him hadn’t appeared yet.
Just wait patiently, he said.
The master was always mysterious, but whatever he said was accurate, as if he could predict everything that was to happen in this world.
Now, once again, he was proven right.
"Take him away, take him away!" Ayimu looked annoyed, pointing at the woman beside her, "Whoever you are, prepare cold water for your General, with ice!"
Elder Aunt Ye: "..."
In the dead of winter, asking for cold water, and with ice no less...
If this weren’t his real mother, no ordinary person would dare do this so openly.
Elder Aunt Ye quickly led people to make preparations.
Qiao’er was holding the little wolf cub, secretly peeking through the door crack.
