The General's Darling Is Delicate-Chapter 317 - 198: Calm and Collected, Master of the Situation

Chapter 317: Chapter 198: Calm and Collected, Master of the Situation

"Too shabby."

Ying Ce spoke again, dispelling her worries, "The Emperor never thought there would be a grand wedding ceremony, consider this as compensation.

Little Seven, would you accept it?"

Under his gentle persuasion, Yun Chunnuan was indecisive.

She sought the opinion of the man beside her with her eyes.

In the end, she decided to stay for the moment and go to Great Xia later to investigate. If it were a gift from the Emperor of Great Xia, then it would be kept.

Since the visitor was a guest, it was best not to neglect him as he came in the name of a congratulatory envoy from Great Xia.

Yun Chunnuan ordered lunch to be prepared and hosted him with courtesy and politeness.

During the meal, Ying Ce didn’t display any unusual feelings towards the Little Princess. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

He seemed just like a senior, with ordinary concern and inquiries.

For instance, if she was comfortable living in Bianliao, if she had been wronged, or if she missed her family.

He didn’t mention a word about what happened the night before the Little Princess departed from Great Xia.

His appetite was small, he only took a taste of each dish.

"Our Little Seven, truly impressive." Ying Ce praised generously, "To cultivate those seeds must have taken quite an effort."

Yun Chunnuan ate absent-mindedly during the meal.

Surprised by his words, she looked up, "Has Prince seen the seeds?"

"Had the fortune to see them, wasted."

Yun Chunnuan gazed at that porcelain-white, jade-like, exquisite face.

His skin seemed to have an inherent glow, sitting there, surrounded by a gentle halo.

From the moment she saw him, she followed the Little Princess’s past memories, feeling disgusted towards him.

But why did his appearance differ completely from the cold and indifferent person in her memories?

Could she have misinterpreted the situation?

"Nuannuan, eat."

Just then, a jealous voice sounded in her ears.

Yun Chunnuan turned her head and saw the Barbarian General beside her, looking unhappy again.

Yet he was trying hard to endure.

He placed a piece of tomato omelet into the little darling’s bowl and with a slight raise of his brows, "Never thought your royal uncle would come to the General Mansion. Has the lady decided where to accommodate him?"

A royal uncle instantly widened the gap between the two.

Yun Chunnuan, aware of his little scheme, couldn’t help but curl her plump lips, aimed for the plate of vinegar-soaked shredded potatoes, took a piece, and handed it to the man beside her, "Husband should eat too. You arrange these matters, I’m sure the royal uncle wouldn’t mind."

Yelyu Lie bit on the little darling’s chopsticks, gleefully glancing at the man in white, "Oh, indeed, a person of such integrity like royal uncle wouldn’t care about these worldly possessions, even if he had to sleep in a doghouse, he wouldn’t mind."

Outside the door, upon hearing these words, Yong Ye wished he could rush in and beat up that barbarian!

Listen! Is this even the language of a human?

The master traveled thousands of miles to Bianliao just to sleep in a doghouse at your General Mansion?

Or is that barbarian implying the master is a dog?

So angry!

So angry!

Ready to explode!

Yet at the dining table, Ying Ce, who had set down his bowl and chopsticks, was all smiles and wit, not showing any trace of anger, "Alright then, that courtyard I saw is spacious and bright. I’ll rest there tonight, closer to our Little Seven."

Yelyu Lie: "?! "

What the hell!

A conspiracy gone wrong?

What do you mean by your Little Seven!

And damn it, closer?

Shameless!

Having not refuted him, a certain general’s temper burst out.

Feeling his anger, Yun Chunnuan reached out her petite hand, placed it over his tightly clenched fist, and gently patted.

She had a polite yet distant smile, "Prince was just joking, you are a distinguished guest, how could you share a place with livestock?

You came unexpectedly without preparation, please forgive us."

The words carried disdain throughout.

Anyone not a fool could tell how much she resented his visit to the General Mansion.

Faced with this, anyone might lose their temper and leave in a huff.

But Ying Ce still sat there calmly, not angry nor anxious, "No worries, Little Seven need not worry, I only... wished to see with my own eyes if you were faring well."

His gentle gaze fell warmly on the young girl’s dark eyes.

Truly, like a kind elder, just wanting to see if the married child was alright.

In an instant, not only Yun Chunnuan but even Yelyu Lie felt somewhat guilty.

It’s... It’s an inexplicable sense of guilt.

The two of them seemed like bullies, picking on the innocent and weak...
