Chapter 316: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 316: Do You Miss Me? (3)
The disappointment on Xiao Ruiyuan's face was almost undeniable. Did she really not understand? No, she was just using avoidance to reject his feelings!
Slowly releasing her wrist from his palm, his face returned to its usual indifference, but his deep gaze still firmly locked onto the girl in front of him. "I'm going to the border."
The border? Mo Yan's heart tightened! Yes, with the current urgency of the border situation, it was normal for him, a distinguished general of Da Chu with remarkable military achievements, to be sent to the border. However, the battlefield was unpredictable and extremely dangerous!
Worry crept into her heart unconsciously, and a trace of concern appeared on her face.
Xiao Ruiyuan's eyes brightened, and the previous disappointment was diluted by this trace of concern. "Are you worried about me?"
Staring at her scalp-tingling gaze, Mo Yan nodded slightly, her lips curling into a smile. "You're my friend, so naturally, I worry about you! I don't understand matters on the battlefield, but I hope you'll return safely."
As soon as she finished speaking, her wrist was once again tightly grasped, and a voice sounded from above her head, carrying a chill, "Then, do you miss me?"
Why was it this question again?
Mo Yan felt like crying but had no tears. If she could, she would love to roll her eyes at him and shout "No!" But she didn't have the courage. She was afraid that if she didn't fully express herself, her wrist might be broken before she could finish speaking, and it was already on the verge of breaking!
She didn't dare to say "No," and she dared not say "Yes." But she knew that if she didn't come up with a reasonable answer today, this guy would probably keep asking. She racked her brains trying to figure out how to answer this question, and she did come up with something.
"Well, I don't know if I miss you! Brother Xiao, you're still standing in front of me now, so I can't imagine whether I'll miss you after you leave!"
Hmm, he should be satisfied with this answer! Mo Yan praised herself for her cleverness!
Seeing her cautious appearance, Xiao Ruiyuan closed his eyes, eventually releasing his grip on her. In the end, he couldn't bear to see her in distress.
With her wrist liberated, Mo Yan subconsciously rubbed her right hand, sneakily glancing at it, and indeed saw several bright red fingerprints.
Xiao Ruiyuan also saw them, his eyes filled with regret. He was about to grab her wrist to check for injuries, but with a swift motion, her wrist was swiftly hidden behind her back, and she stared at him warily.
Xiao Ruiyuan: "..."
Mo Yan: "..."
Even long after Xiao Ruiyuan left the Mo residence, Mo Yan still felt dazed, her ears filled with his chilling threats:
"Don't engage in a marriage contract before I return, do you understand? Even if your father pressures you!"
"You're still young, don't accept any man's attentions. They definitely have ulterior motives!"
"This is the hawk I trained to deliver messages. I'm giving it to you now. Remember to write to me!"
...
With all sorts of words, Mo Yan realized for the first time that this person also had the potential to be a chatterbox! Grabbing the hawk perched on her shoulder, she lightly poked its head with her fingers, "I'll pluck your feathers for stew. When your master returns, I'll tell him you died of illness and couldn't deliver messages. Will your master believe that?"
The hawk opened its mouth and pecked heavily at her tender fingers, emitting a sharp cry, as if mocking her stupidity!
Mo Yan was in pain, tears almost streaming down her face. Looking at her swollen and red finger, she glared at the hawk, wishing to pluck all its feathers immediately and then stew it in the kitchen!
Riding his horse straight to the Jingshan Villa, Xiao Ruiyuan had no idea that Mo Yan planned to eat the hawk he carefully trained. He was even imagining what content the woman he admired would write in her letters.
