Chapter 59 -59: Not touching you, is it only a constraint for me?
Xiang Ying furrowed her brows: “What are you doing here?”
Jie Chen’s expression quickly returned to normal: “Just checking on the child.”
Since she had seen him, he didn’t hide anymore.
He just noticed that Xiang Yuanshuo’s finger was swollen.
Normally chubby and pale little hands, the swelling was very obvious.
Jie Chen guessed it must have been from helping push carts during the day, hence the injury.
He never imagined that it was Xiang Yuanshuo playing with small crabs.
Thinking about the child suffering made Jie Chen slightly furrow his brows: “May I have a word in private?”
Xiang Ying glanced at him and said to Qi Fengyi: “Stay here with them.”
Then she followed Jie Chen into the forest.
“Why didn’t you want the horses I sent back?” Jie Chen frowned.
Xiang Ying crossed her arms, leaning against the tree trunk, her posture elegant and proud, naturally carrying an air of haughtiness.
“Why do I need yours? Looking for another excuse to take them back? Trying to manipulate others over a mere horse, you really think small!”
Jie Chen was startled and explained gravely, “That’s not an order I gave, it was all a misunderstanding.”
“What misunderstanding?” Xiang Ying lifted her fair chin, her phoenix eyes burning darkly, “Wasn’t it you who told Skinny Monkey and the others that we have nothing to do with each other?”
“They took initiative on their own.” Jie Chen gritted his teeth.
He knew it was the words he’d spoken to Supervisor Ke that had led these subordinates to misunderstand.
Xiang Ying let out a hmph with a cold laugh, her red lips curving impatiently.
“You always push the blame onto others, yet you don’t dare tell anyone, that we have a child…mmph!”
Before she could finish, Jie Chen came over, his large hand suddenly covering her lips.
Xiang Ying, backed against the tree, watched Jie Chen warily looking towards the Exile Team.
After confirming no one was paying attention, Jie Chen lowered his voice, his thin eyes swirling with a chilling undertow.
“Are you mad, daring to say such a thing? If they find out the child is mine, not only can I not protect you, I cannot protect them either!”
Xiang Ying’s phoenix eyes narrowed, evidently angered.
Before Jie Chen could react, Xiang Ying grabbed his hand, opened her red lips, and bit down hard.
Jie Chen grunted in pain.
However, he did not evade.
When Xiang Ying had vented her feelings, she let go of his hand.
On the side of Jie Chen’s palm were neat bite marks.
“Why didn’t you dodge?”
“It’s better to let you vent on me than to have you spouting nonsense to others,” Jie Chen coldly replied, shaking his hand.
Xiang Ying raised an eyebrow.
Biting him made her mood much better.
So, she finally deigned to sincerely speak her heart.
“We are comrades who’ve shared life and death, and when we came out of the tomb, I thought we could be battle companions, side by side.”
“I didn’t expect you to tell them we have nothing to do with each other and based on your word, they took away the horses. The children were very disappointed.”
“Especially Xiu Xiu, she said she will never bother with you anymore.”
Jie Chen stilled in the middle of adjusting his sleeve, lifting his thin eyes: “Didn’t you explain for me?”
Xiang Ying scoffed with a laugh: “Why should I explain for you? With just your light words calling it a misunderstanding, I had to pull the cart myself for two days.”
She tossed her head and walked away, leaving a sentence behind: “I’m still angry with you. Whether you can regain the trust of the children, it depends on your performance.”
Jie Chen’s cold gaze dropped to the bite marks on his palm.
This woman, she bites hard.
After Xiang Ying returned, Qi Fengyi was staring at four skinned ducks blankly.
“What’s with these ducks?”
“I swear, I only dozed off for a moment, and when I opened my eyes, they were placed beside my feet.”
Qi Fengyi finished speaking and looked up to see Jie Chen following Xiang Ying out of the forest.
She immediately hid the ducks behind her.
Thankfully, Jie Chen didn’t say anything, and simply walked away.
“Elder princess, who is so kind-hearted to always send food, and with such incredible qinggong skills, not like ordinary people?”
Qi Fengyi was speaking when suddenly, a piece of paper fell out of the duck’s belly.
Xiang Ying picked it up to see—

[First thing, you shouldn’t touch me lightly, isn’t this rule binding me only? Why would you let him cover your mouth!]
It was Fang Qian again.
So audacious, even daring to hide a note inside a duck and send it over?
Xiang Ying pursed her lips, looked around the dark woods, not knowing where that boy was hiding.
She said to Qi Fengyi: “When day breaks, send it to Mr. Lin, Seventh Princess, and Yu Pin and her lot.”
Qi Fengyi was stunned: “Are we not keeping it?”
“No, we’re not keeping it.” After saying this, Xiang Ying threw the note into the nearby fire before lying down to rest her eyes alongside the children.
The next day.
The Seventh Princess and Yu Pin received the duck, both delighted beyond measure.
However, they were also quite curious, Yu Pin asked: “This duck isn’t easy to come by, where did elder princess get it from?”
Xiang Ying pursed her mouth: “Someone sent it, just eat it, no worries.”
Yu Pin beamed with joy, continuously thanking her.
At this moment.
Unexpectedly, Jie Chen walked alone towards Xiang Ying.
The three children had just finished their early meal, gathering together, laughing and playing.
Seeing Jie Chen, all three children simultaneously turned their backs on him.
Xiang Yuanshuo: “Let’s ignore him! Don’t even look!”
Xiang Yuanlang & Xiang Xiuxiu: “Mhm!”
Jie Chen couldn’t articulate anything, just silently picked up the reins from the ground and carried them on his shoulder.
Xiang Ying raised an eyebrow, approached to greet him.
“Are you going to pull the cart for me?”
“It’s not for you, just me.” After saying this, Jie Chen pulled both reigns over his shoulders.
Xiang Li was about to stand up, but Xiang Ying pressed him back down.
“Stay seated, big brother, let someone else show off.”
Jie Chen tugged the wooden cart forward, Xiang Ying and Tao Xue held the three kids, and Qi Fengyi and her group didn’t come forward to help.
Fortunately, Jie Chen had a good physique and strength.
Pulling Xiang Li, he walked as if on level ground, not slow at all.
Until he felt the wooden cart suddenly get a bit heavier.
Looking back, Xiang Ying had placed all three children on it.
Seeing Jie Chen turn, the three little ones huffed and turned their backs.
Xiang Ying smiled, pulling out a handkerchief to wipe Jie Chen’s sweat.
“Adding the three children shouldn’t tire you, right? I used to do this a few days ago.”
“Not tiring.” Jie Chen gritted his teeth, his pale eyes darkened, but his tone was firm enough.
Sweat soaked his temples, making his face appear even more handsome and deep.
As he slightly bowed his head, sweat slid down his prominent nose.
The surrounding soldiers stared in awe, Skinny Monkey didn’t dare approach, fearing he’d make a fool of himself.
But apart from Xiang Ying, everyone heard it.
Military Supervisor, Jie Chen, for the sake of Xiang Ying, had a fierce fight with Supervisor Ke.
Now pulling the cart by himself, merely to win her favor.
This, drove Xiang Qianqian nearly mad with jealousy.
What about Xiang Ying makes her likable?
She originally disdained using beauty to exchange for benefits.
But seeing how Xiang Ying thrived because she was favored by the military supervisor, she couldn’t help but harbor some crooked thoughts.
Xiang Qianqian watched Jie Chen, recalling what Old Princess Consort Shangguan had said.
Men, they all fail when tested.
