After setting the final dish on the table, Cai Wei let out a long sigh, planning to freshen up and make herself look brighter. Just as she sat down at the dressing table, she heard a loud "bang", the door suddenly swung open, and Nangong Yi stormed in, looking worn and weary from his travels.
Nangong Yi walked towards her in a brisk stride, not waiting for Cai Wei to speak. He abruptly opened his arms and wrapped them around Cai Wei like iron hoops, holding her as tight as if he wanted to meld her into his own flesh.
"Wei’er...I have missed you so much..."
The instant he received Brother Ying’s letter, Nangong Yi could hardly believe his eyes. His little girl had actually traveled a vast distance to find him. The immense surprise nearly knocked him out, leaving him at a loss for a time... The fact that she came to him indicated that it wasn’t a one-sided affair anymore; that he was the only one sacrificing in this relationship. Unknowingly, the little girl had started to reciprocate his intense feelings, even taking the initiative.
Just look, she had taken the initiative to come!
What could possibly please him more? His subordinates and lieutenants had no idea what had gotten into King Qin today. He had left the camp alone, anxious and in a hurry. This unsettled Zhui Feng and Zhu Yue, making them think that something serious had happened. They nervously followed him and found out that the annoying woman had shown up again!
Both Zhui Feng and Zhu Yue genuinely loathed Cai Wei. If it weren’t for her, their master would still be the casual and distinguished King Qin in the Capital. There would be no need for him to engage in wars and collect money and provisions for troops, fighting a war that was full of uncertainty. Even they, as guards, had to endure much hardship in the process. Especially their master, who had lost considerable weight within just a month after leaving the Capital. Could that damned woman notice? Could she compensate the master for anything at all?
Cai Wei was tightly encircled in Nangong Yi’s arms, feeling his powerful, pounding heartbeat, with his faint smell of Dragon Saliva Perfume lingering around her nostrils. It was refreshing and cool, her current favorite scent...
The two of them embraced silently, and after a while, Cai Wei lifted her head to look at his perfect, smooth jawline. The fascinating arc made her whisper, "Nangong Yi, let’s eat. If we wait any longer, it will get cold!"
Nangong Yi lowly muttered, "I’m not hungry yet, Wei’er, let me hold you a bit longer..."
Helpless, Cai Wei had no choice but to snuggle into his embrace, allowing him to hold and caress her as he wished. Despite feeling a little shy, she was innately sweet, as though soaked in honey...
Without warning, the door was suddenly pushed open. Dun Zhu led Dan Zhu into the room, exclaiming, "Miss, we..."
Before they could finish their sentences, they were startled to see the couple embracing each other. Dun Zhu was instantly stunned, her eyes wide open, her mouth stuttering like a duck whose neck has been wrung, but she couldn’t utter a word for a long time.
Nangong Yi looked displeased at the intruders, he asked coldly. Then, his expression softened as he turned towards Cai Wei.
"They’re my new maids, Dun Zhu and Dan Zhu. I just hired them today!"
Cai Wei wriggled out of Nangong Yi’s embrace and explained to him.
Seeing her sister just standing there in shock, Dan Zhu promptly stepped forward to pull at her sleeve.
Dun Zhu came back to her senses. She quickly lowered her head and said, "Miss, my sister and I are here. As per your request, we took baths and bought clothes. This is the remaining silver, please check it."
