Yun Chunnuan watched her with a feigned gentle gesture, her brows slightly furrowed: Could it be she still hasn’t given up on her husband? If that’s the case...
Just as she thought this, she saw Lian Qiao glance at the man ’playing dead’ on the bed, without giving an extra look, she went over to the desk by the window.
She whispered, "The General hasn’t woken up yet, right?"
Yun Chunnuan looked again at the motionless figure on the bed.
She could tell that Lian Qiao was indeed looking for her for something.
But she definitely didn’t want the Barbarian General to know about it...
"Little Yunyun, can I call you that?"
Yun Chunnuan was hesitating whether to take Lian Qiao outside to talk when the ’Little Yunyun’ made goosebumps rise all over her.
"Uh..."
"Don’t be too worried. The General is very lucky. Since I came to the General Mansion, he’s been through countless life-threatening situations, but it’s nothing. Don’t worry!"
Lian Qiao was blunt and honest, completely oblivious to the Little Princess’s pretty face darkening as she mentioned ’countless times’ dying.
"Whatever it is, just say it." Yun Chunnuan suddenly didn’t want to take her outside anymore.
Lian Qiao didn’t pay attention to the Little Princess’s expression changes; she was completely caught up in how to phrase her own inquiry.
After thinking for a long time, blushing, she asked, "Well... do you think... the General would truly willingly let me leave the mansion? And would he even give me some silver? Even if I have a... love interest, he wouldn’t mind?"
Yun Chunnuan: "?"
Goodness!
Lian Qiao’s situation seemed very unusual!
Love interest?
Who could it be!
People all have a curious nature, and Yun Chunnuan was no exception.
Though she had won victory after victory these days, she was actually exhausted physically and mentally.
Upon hearing gossip, she suddenly felt her spirits lifted!
She looked at the man on the bed.
Lian Qiao was facing away from him at the moment, so the man slightly propped himself up, also curiously looking over.
He was even mouthing something to her.
When Yun Chunnuan made out the two words he wanted to say, she was completely stunned.
"Uh... you have a new love interest?"
"What do you mean by new!" Lian Qiao pouted in dissatisfaction then turned to look at the tall, dark man on the bed.
For some reason, she felt his hand gestures seemed different from just now.
But Lian Qiao didn’t care; she just glared at the tanned big hands disdainfully, "I never truly liked your man! Look at how dark and rough he is, it’s not my type!
I like refined men, with fair skin, gentle and considerate, handsome features, preferably with medical skills..."
As she spoke, the curve of her lips tinted a bit sweetly without her realizing it.
Yun Chunnuan was utterly amazed.
Could it be the Barbarian General was right?
Lian Qiao is really with that pretty Central Plains doctor...
However, who was she insulting! Dark and rough, seriously?
Her own husband, she could disdain... Oh dismiss! She doesn’t even disdain him! Why should anybody else!
The Little Princess pouted, grumbling, "You might as well just announce He Xuanzhi’s ID number! With his frail looks, my husband could take ten of him with a single punch!"
"He’s not frail! He’s like soft jade and delicate petals, don’t you get it? Wait... how do you know I like him?"
Soft jade and delicate petals...
Yun Chunnuan was speechless, "The only refined and handsome doctor you could come across, except He Xuanzhi, who else could it be? And have you truly transferred your affections? How far along are you?
On the 30th day when I invited you over for dinner, the girls from your courtyard told me you left early with a lunch box, it was probably for the doctor, right?"
Speaking of this, Lian Qiao’s face reddened even more.
The scars on her face still hadn’t completely faded, and when her complexion changed it wasn’t obvious, but now with her face flushed, it stood out significantly.
She nodded, "That’s right, it’s him! Don’t say transferred affections. After falling for He Lang, I realized that what I felt for the General before was just admiration!
Merely catching a glimpse of the General from a distance contented me, although in the three years I’ve been in the mansion, he’s never rested with me, it was just a regret, I didn’t have too many thoughts.
But... after meeting He Lang, I only want to sleep with him! Whether he agrees or not, even if I have to use every trick possible, I want to seize the moment!"
On the bed, the man who again sat up had eyes like shining amber.
Listening to Lian Qiao’s words, he nodded repeatedly, almost jumping from the bed to have a candlelit conversation with her.
To deeply discuss the feeling of truly loving someone!
But suddenly, Lian Qiao’s tone changed, angrily accusing: "Originally, I was about to succeed! Got medicine from He Lang, just missing the final step, but don’t know which scoundrel pulled a prank on me, ruining it all!
Hell! If I catch that scoundrel, I’ll definitely break his legs! If it’s a man, I’ll break his third leg!!!"
On the bed, Yelyu Lie suddenly felt a chill somewhere.
Under Little Princess’s suspicious gaze, he lay back on the bed and remained still.
Seeing his reaction, Yun Chunnuan realized who Lian Qiao’s ’scoundrel’ was.
Imagining the two passionate people suddenly interrupted by a prank, forced to stop, one possibly deflated by shock, the other fuming and swearing.
Yun Chunnuan suddenly burst out laughing.
Lian Qiao gave her a suspicious look, "Why are you laughing! That prankster scoundrel... wasn’t you, was it?"
Yun Chunnuan hurriedly shook her head, "How could it be. If you hadn’t said, I wouldn’t have known you had a love interest."
She casually switched the topic, "So are you here today because you’ve decided to leave the General Mansion?"
