CHAPTER 247: CHAPTER 161: THIS MAN... MIGHT HAVE BEWITCHED HER!

Yun Chunnuan didn’t want to wake him, so she just opened her eyes and looked at him, then laid back down.

She thought of all that had happened before she lost consciousness.

She lifted her right hand on the other side and looked at it against the dim candlelight.

The fair and delicate little hand was almost transparent under the candlelight.

And the red circle on her fingertip showed no trace at all...

"Nuannuan!!!"

At that moment, the man in front of the bed suddenly awoke.

He had a nightmare, causing his forehead to be drenched with sweat, even the sleeve he was resting on was wet.

Seeing those bright and distinct eyes of the little girl, Yelyu Lie momentarily thought he was dreaming again.

But this time it was a beautiful dream.

Until that soft and tender voice came, "Husband..."

"Nuannuan!"

The huge figure descended in an instant, embracing the Little Princess’s tender body entirely.

His voice trembled incoherently, "Awake... it’s good you’re awake... I’m useless... a failure... said I wouldn’t let you get hurt again... almost... almost..."

"Husband..." Yun Chunnuan knew he would blame himself.

But what does this have to do with him?

She couldn’t stay home all day, nor could he accompany her every moment.

Moreover, while she was outside visiting the shop, he was handling the aftermath of his mother’s escape!

If he hadn’t made a fuss in the palace day and night, the first to suffer after his mother fled would have been the General Mansion.

He is not a reckless man.

Never has been.

Except when he’s overcome by anger, he’s always rational, clear-headed, courageous, and resourceful, putting people at ease.

Two small hands gently wrapped around him, patting his sweat-drenched back, "Husband, I’ve caused you trouble, I initially thought I could secure a shop, didn’t expect... I’m sorry..."

"Are you silly! If you want a shop, just tell me, and I’ll snatch it for you!"

He lifted his head, a drop of sweat trickling down his forehead, across his handsome face, dripping from his Adam’s apple.

Yun Chunnuan’s heart skipped a beat.

This man... might have cast a spell on her!

At such a moment, her mind unexpectedly filled with inappropriate thoughts...

Why does it feel so desirous?!

She seemed to understand Lian Qiao’s urge to completely conquer the handsome doctor...

Oh no!

Stop it!

Shut the mind!

She licked her lips, forbidding herself from imagining those adult scenes.

However, stealing a kiss was still permissible.

She lifted her head and planted a solid kiss on his full lips.

As the man was taken aback, she curled her lips, revealing two sweet dimples, "That’s not okay, my husband is a soldier dedicated to protecting the country, how can he do such a thing like a bandit?

This was just an accident, I didn’t take anything from him, and I confirmed there was no fainting incense in that room, it was due to my body’s condition, otherwise, I could have fought him three times over!"

She spoke lightly, and Yelyu Lie knew the little girl was trying to prevent him from blaming himself further.

Nor did she want him to obstruct her progress.

He understood it all.

But...

The words Yelyu Lie was about to utter swallowed back when he met the clear and bright eyes of the little girl.

Everything, he was there for her, wasn’t he?

Even if the sky were to fall, he would hold it up for her.

She wanted to be an eagle in the sky, not a caged canary.

Since he had let her fly freely.

Why tether her with a string?

As for whether those people had any connection with that woman, he would find out soon.

"Silly girl, they demanded ten thousand silver from you, yet you went to negotiate, clearly, they see you as easy prey. That shop isn’t worth even a thousand silver! Damn, they dared to bully my wife, I’ll ensure they can’t sell it for even one silver!"

"A thousand silver... it’s worth that much, isn’t it?" Yun Chunnuan had originally planned to take that shop for around three thousand silver.

Although she’s not familiar with ancient prices, the mansion had Aunt Ye, who could provide basic market insights; otherwise, how could she negotiate?

Besides, those shops near Lower Street were all over a thousand silver, not to mention it was a well-located three-story building...

"I said it’s not worth it, so it’s not worth it! Don’t bother with this matter, stay in the mansion for three to five days; the city’s unrest will settle down, and I’ll take care of the shop for you!"

What Yelyu Lie didn’t say was that the original owner of that shop was not that man with the goatee.

Their group came to Bianliao at the end of last year, always engaging in brigandry.

It’s just...

Their identity as people from Sha Hai Country aroused suspicion.

If they were merely ordinary bandits, it wouldn’t be as concerning, but how could it be such a coincidence that Lian Qiao appeared just then?

Yelyu Lie knew that since the little girl came to this world, she hadn’t made any genuine friends.

The only one she took a liking to was that little calf.

Before the truth surfaced, he wouldn’t destroy the little girl’s cherished dreams...

Yun Chunnuan didn’t know what was in his mind, she just found his youthful stubbornness amusing, "Alright, alright, my husband is naturally better than me; wouldn’t the people of Bianliao give the General face?

But, you must promise me, not to resort to violence or force.

As the guardian in people’s hearts, you can’t tarnish your image because of me."

Yelyu Lie gazed at the little girl’s serious demeanor and couldn’t utter a word.

His heart was filled with endless gratitude and solace.

He considered himself thrice blessed to have met such a tender yet noble-hearted woman.

Her words were never mere rhetoric.

She demonstrated through her actions every bit, showing him the people of Bianliao were truly lodged in her heart.
