Becoming the Empress: Golden Finger Set Under My Bed-Chapter 93: White Lie

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Hearing Du Yong’s sorrowful screaming, Meng Li remained emotionless and didn’t say anything.

However, An Rusuhang was a bit stunned on hearing Du Yong’s scream before she couldn’t help laughing out.

Although she could not see him clearly, she could have a vague picture of how he reacted. True enough! Yun Ran was actually a tough and harsh man, but would it be appropriate for a General to force his subordinate to lie?

Sometimes, gossips would go even viral if people intended to suppress them. If this spread across the camp, that would be embarrassing.

Thinking so, An Rushuang stretched out to press against the sand and stumbled to stand up. She staggered forwards and looked at Yun Ran at a loss.

He didn’t allow her to rub eyes and An Rushuang felt it indeed inconvenient to be tearful and couldn’t see things clearly.

Seeing her at a loss, Meng Li quickly went towards her, regardless of punishing Du Yong. Seeing her tearful again, Meng Li couldn’t help knitting his eyebrows, “I told you to wait here for me.” ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m

Apparently his voice was not that friendly.

Biting her lips, An Rushuang hid her little fair face under the big cloak, only revealing her pointed chin.

She was as helpless as a little animal. Looking at her, Meng Li felt his heart was somehow beat by some unknown feeling.

However, he knew exactly that this kind of feeling was untrustworthy. Meng Li still remembered the girl once wore his clothes and said she was a fairy at the god’s side.

Thinking so, Meng Li couldn’t help curving his lips and put back the cloak and revealed the girl’s tearful eyes. “What can I do for you?” he asked softly.

Hearing this, Du Yong couldn’t help opening his mouth widely. He had never saw General like this... being so gentle.

Yes, he had seen it several times. When General did not kill the enemy on the battlefield with one strike, the enemy asked him to “give me a quick death”, Meng Li would smiled gently and said in a soft voice “fine”.

The memory of the bloody battlefield suddenly popped into Du Yong’s mind, which made him couldn’t help shivering.

This time Du Yong looked at An Rushuang with some respect. Even if she was a ghost, she was a tough one, since she had the guts to deal with Major General.

And... it seemed this female ghost was refusing General. Why was she shaking her head? Was General...

Seeing this, Du Yong was even more confused.

“As a General, forcing your subordinate...Ahem, you shouldn’t have stooped so low. It won’t do you any good.”

Looking at him seriously, An Rushuang actually was going to say “forcing your subordinate to lie”, but she didn’t dare to say that and therefore change the phrase to apply to the scenario.

Although Du Yong was close to the General, it was still inappropriate to let this kind of things happen too frequently. And An Rushuang was now regarded as a ghost trying to tempt their General!

Hearing her concerning words, Meng Li couldn’t help curving his lips and said pleasantly, “So what do you think?”

An Rushuang was about to answer when her face was held by his big hand. Now she could even feel his breath.

“What are you doing?!” she said, subconsciously falling back. Yun Ran quickly held her on the waist, “Do you want to do that again? Stay still and tell me what’s on your mind.”

Saying so, he lowered his head and their faces were so close. Then An Rushuang felt his hands were on her eyes and then a blow of cool wind was in her eyes. The discomfort in her eyes gradually disappeared.

He was helping her blow her eyes... An Rushuang couldn’t help thinking that it was his sudden intimacy that made her fall from the sand dune.

And now he was blaming all these on her...

Slightly bowing, Meng Li asked, “What did you say? Go ahead.”

An Rushuang was stiffened in surprise as if she was a dummy standing there. After a while, she stammered, “Ok. I... I’m fine.”

The hazy figure gradually became resolute and clear. His face was angular, with a pair of starry eyes under the moonlight. But half of his face was covered by iron mask, which made him a bit prepossessing and pressing. His breath was very close to An Rushuang’s face, which made her blush.

“Can you see clearly?”

Standing in front of him, Meng Li stared at An Rushuang with his dark eyes, questioning, “Are you sure?”

Why he felt a sense of unwillingness...

Stiffened, An Rushuang nodded and said, “General, your hands...”

Could you please remove them?!

Curving his lips, Meng Li slowly drew back his hands and smiled, “It was urgent and sorry for offending you, fairy.”

Grinding her teeth, An Rushuang glared at him. She was just thinking he was a good guy and now why did he point out her embarrassment?

Then they slowly walked to the top of the sand dunes. As An Rushuang’s eyes were hurt by sands, her red eyes made her look even weak and pitiful in Meng Li’s oversized cloak.

Du Yong was still looking at the two with his mouth wide open on the sand dune.

On seeing the woman’s face clearly, he gasped and hurriedly got up and ran away.

Seeing this, An Rushuang shouted, “Wait!”

Regardless of her words, Du Yong ran even faster. Glancing at him, Meng Li picked up a small stone, directly hit it on Du Yong’s leg.

“Ah!” Du Yong immediately fell onto the ground.

An Rushuang walked over step by step and saw him panicking. She couldn’t help but wonder: Did she look ferocious today? Was it hard to look straight at her?

Otherwise, why Du Yong chose to look at the sky rather than look at her?

“I want to be clear and I hope you...” She intended to say “Don’t get me wrong”.

Before she had finished speaking, An Rushaung heard Du Yong shouting at the top of his voice, “You can say it there, don’t come! I don’t like you! ”

The sound of this call has gone wild, lingering away.

Hearing this, An Rushuang couldn’t help laughing and stopped, “You’ve wronged me. I was... looking for a business group. I’m not the ghost you talked about. Unfortunately, I didn’t find them and lost in the desert before I came across General and asked for a help. What you saw then was all because my eyes were hurt by sands and I cannot see.”

Hearing this, Du Yong was stiffened in shock and couldn’t digest what An Rushuang said.

Being stared at by Du Yong, An Rushuang didn’t realised Meng Li was also looking at her in confusion.
