The General's Darling Is Delicate-Chapter 67: Can You Hold My Hand?

Being held by the soft little hand of the little darling, Yelyu Lie was overwhelmed with emotions, "I’m nine years older than you! Even if I grow old and ugly, I’ll be the first. If you dare to leave me and find another old man, I’ll take our sons and grandsons and cry at your doorstep!"

Yun Chunnuan couldn’t help but laugh at his aggrieved expression.

"Who dares to steal General Yelyu’s wife, what a reckless life! With your physique, you’ll probably be as nimble as ever even at seventy or eighty years old!"

Her casual teasing brought joy to Yelyu Lie’s heart, "So you admit you’re my wife now?"

Yun Chunnuan was momentarily stunned, then realized what she had just said.

She withdrew her hand, picked up the large cotton quilt from the bed, and shoved it into the embrace of the Barbarian General, "Here, all for you! Go to sleep!"

Yelyu Lie, holding the quilt, looked innocent, "Where should I sleep?"

Yun Chunnuan casually pointed to the corner with the red deer skull hanging, "Over there, there’s a blanket on the floor, it’s clean and warm."

Yelyu Lie felt even more aggrieved, "Who makes their own man sleep on the floor? Just let me cope on the couch for one night..."

As he was speaking, he suddenly noticed something was off in his little wife’s eyes, "Alright, I’ll go, don’t be mad."

Yelyu Lie also realized for the first time just how nagging he had become, not straightforward at all!

But what could he do? He just wanted to sleep on the same couch with his little wife.

In the end, he didn’t get to sleep, as his little wife was already impatient...

Yelyu Lie got up, but instead of taking the quilt with him, he covered it over his little darling.

Seeing she was about to protest, he threatened, "Either you cover it yourself, or I’ll sleep with you under it!"

Yun Chunnuan: "..."

This guy just couldn’t give up.

But people can’t hold it in until they die, can they?

It’s not like there’s only one quilt in the mansion.

In the end, Yelyu Lie’s hard-luck act failed again.

Yun Chunnuan called in Qiao’er, saying she was too cold and needed two more quilts.

Qiao’er didn’t mind the dark look on her General’s face, busily fetched three cotton quilts, all in a festive bright red.

If Yun Chunnuan hadn’t stopped her, she might have piled them up to fill the whole bed.

When it was just the two of them left in the room, Yun Chunnuan saw the General’s puffed-up look, and couldn’t help but laugh, "Alright, I’m right here, I’m not going anywhere. We agreed to date first, no backing out! Time for sleep~"

She pretended to yawn, while Yelyu Lie swallowed all his grievances back into his stomach.

Alright, his little wife was right, she was lying right here in his room, she couldn’t just sprout wings and fly away, could she?

Seeing her close her eyes pretending to sleep, he didn’t expose her, just moved in close to her lips and gave a quick peck.

With a longing sigh, Yelyu Lie’s mind was bustling with two tiny figures, locked in a fierce debate.

One was yelling to devour his little wife completely, after all, she’s yours, lying on your couch, so what if you were to sleep with her?

The other was seriously and intently warning him not to do anything dishonorable! Since you’ve promised her, would you still be a man if you went back on your word now?

Truth be told, Yelyu Lie disliked this rational little figure.

Before meeting his little wife, he didn’t know his mind was capable of creating such a little thing.

Perhaps... this little figure’s name was ’Cherish’.

He cherished every moment with his little wife, and naturally couldn’t be swayed by this impetuous little figure.

In the end, Yelyu Lie kicked aside the figure coaxing him to sleep with his little wife.

Holding back all desires, he set up a makeshift bed on the floor.

Yun Chunnuan sneaked a peek, finding him sleeping on the bedside.

Facing her direction, lying on his side, with a smile still lingering at the corners of his lips.

As if noticing her gaze, those long, dense eyelashes lightly quivered, almost opening, Yun Chunnuan quickly closed her eyes, acting as if she’d already fallen asleep, even letting out a gentle snore.

Yelyu Lie smiled helplessly, yet feeling utterly content.

He had never known it could be this joyful to simply be with the one he loved.

Even if he couldn’t touch her, couldn’t hold her, just lying next to her, being able to see her as soon as he opened his eyes, filled his heart with happiness.

"Nuannuan, I can’t sleep, can I hold your hand?"

His voice was soft, yet clear in the silent room.

On the couch, Yun Chunnuan pretended to sleep deeper, snoring louder.

Just when Yelyu Lie sighed in disappointment, he saw his little darling, under the pretense of turning over, let a small, tender hand drop along the edge of the couch.

Yelyu Lie was overjoyed, quickly covering her soft little hand with his warm big one.

The touch was so soft and tender, he couldn’t resist gently rubbing with his fingertips.

But fearing she might get annoyed, he dared not make any larger movement.

Holding her little hand like this, Yelyu Lie, who had only slept less than three hours in the past two nights, finally drifted off to dreamland.

Listening to his rhythmic breathing by her ear, Yun Chunnuan slowly opened her eyes.

She lay on her side at the edge of the bed, gazing at that handsome and deep face in the dark.

All this felt like a dream.

If a week ago, someone had told her she would travel to a country that didn’t exist in history, and fall for a Barbarian General there, Yun Chunnuan would have probably dialed the mental hospital’s number for him.

Yet here she was, feeling lucky all the same.

Grateful it was him, grateful he was such a sunny and bright man.

"Yelyu Lie, you’re truly wonderful, better than all the men I’ve ever met."

Of course, except for Dad!

In Yun Chunnuan’s mind, the paragon of male excellence was her dad.

She missed home greatly, but at least in this unfamiliar place, she met a truly wonderful man.

He gave her enough respect, so she wasn’t utterly frightened, even if she’d never return to her home, she could slowly make this place home.

With a smile on her lips, Yun Chunnuan thought, and unwittingly fell asleep.

In her sleep, she tried to withdraw her hand, but it was tightly held by that big hand.

She just lay by the edge of the bed and fell asleep.

Slept so soundly that she had no idea how, in the middle of the night, she fell off the bed and right into the man’s arms...
