The General's Darling Is Delicate-Chapter 73: The Child Was Wronged to Tears

’Pa!’ A sound echoed again, and Yelyu Yao shuddered in fear. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The whip was thrown at his feet, "Aren’t you leaving? Want to keep playing?"

Yelyu Yao gritted his teeth in anger, his eyes full of hatred, his face full of resentment.

To Yelyu Lie, however, it held no deterrence. He just looked down at him coldly, "You may very well go complain to your blind Mother, say that this General humiliated you."

No need for you, this bastard, to say it!

Yelyu Yao’s eyes were full of unwillingness. He had even thought of what to say, definitely wouldn’t let this bastard and that venomous woman from the Central Plains off easily!

"However, this General will also report to the King, that the Prince for his own selfish desires, arbitrarily destroyed the alliance between the Central Plains and Bianliao. If the Great Xia Emperor is enraged and sends troops to war, this General’s position will be handed over to the Prince. I’m sure you will protect the people of Bianliao well. Right, Prince?"

Yelyu Yao: "!!!"

Sending him to the battlefield?!

Oh dear! Spare him!!!

Yelyu Yao didn’t even dare to defend himself anymore. Ever since this bastard climbed to the position of Mighty General, he has always been at a disadvantage!

No matter what tricks he came up with, he could counter them, only leading the King to blame him!

Even seeking his Mother now, she would just scold him for not knowing how to be patient and failing to see the bigger picture!

Damn it!!!

Yelyu Yao gave the Little Princess a fierce glare but got a kick in the backside from a big foot.

"Get lost—if you do it again, I’ll chop you up directly!"

Yelyu Yao shrunk his neck, wanting to say: You wouldn’t dare! I’m the Prince! The future ruler of Bianliao!

But he knew well, if not for the Father still being around, this bastard would’ve killed him a thousand times over already...

He held his breath, picked up the whip from the ground, and ran away.

Not forgetting to give a harsh kick each to the two henchmen following him...

After such a scene, they couldn’t continue strolling the street.

Yun Chunnuan, who was so arrogant in front of the Ugly Prince just now, was now feeling as guilty as can be.

She hadn’t expected that even in disguise like this, that ugly guy recognized her!

Afraid she would cause trouble for the Barbarian General...

Moreover, she had just talked about some signal flare, he must think she holds Great Xia in her heart and has no affection for him at all, right?

Holding her soft little hand, they silently returned to the General Mansion.

Qiao’er and Dabai followed behind, not daring to breathe out loud.

Yun Chunnuan couldn’t take the heavy atmosphere, seeing him about to leave after sending her back to the courtyard, quickly grabbed him, "Yelyu Lie! I don’t have any signal flares! I just said that to scare him, it’s this..."

"What?" Yelyu Lie turned, bewildered.

Yun Chunnuan took out a bamboo tube, inside were silkworms bought from the owner of the clothing store.

"Look, it’s really not a signal flare! Since I want to be with you, I won’t think about Great Xia anymore, and will consider Bianliao as my home! Can you..."

"Do you think I’m mad because of that thing?" Yelyu Lie took the small bamboo tube, nearly laughing angrily, "Even if it were a real signal flare, so what? A girl like you, all alone outside, not having a single protection device—it would mean the Great Xia Emperor isn’t fit to be a father!"

Yun Chunnuan stared blankly at him, completely unexpected that he didn’t care about her supposed ’signal flare’.

"Then, why are you angry?"

He was angry, for sure, you could tell from his restrained expression, he was trying hard to suppress his temper.

Could it be... not because he thought she betrayed him?

The Little Princess slightly opened her chubby lips, her big watery eyes full of confusion.

A little face, made black and ugly!

Yelyu Lie sighed helplessly, pulling her into the room, sat her on a stool, and casually grabbed a cloth from the table, wiping her dirty little face.

"Do you really not know where you’re wrong?"

Yun Chunnuan sat on the man’s solid lap, like a wronged child, nodding honestly, "Is it because I left the mansion on my own?"

"You—" Yelyu Lie was so angry he wanted to spank her, "Did you not think about how to handle it if I hadn’t arrived in time and you swung that slap down?"

"But I saw you!" The Little Princess, unrepentant, argued, "You’re so tall! So handsome! So dazzling! As soon as you appear, I can spot you in the crowd at a glance! Besides, there was no one there, I saw you long ago, and when he cursed... so vulgarly, I couldn’t hold back!

After all, I knew you were there, to protect me! His people are so afraid of you, I thought he must be scared too, and just... hit him."

This time, it was Yelyu Lie’s turn to be dumbfounded, "You’re fighting back because he called me... a bastard?"

Yelyu Lie actually couldn’t quite understand, why such a gentle and soft little girl would get so agitated at that ugly person.

He was really scared, what if he was late and that whip landed on his little sweetheart, even if he dismembered that fool, it wouldn’t undo her suffering.

That leopard tail whip was custom-made, and no one knew better than him how it felt to be hit with it.

That’s why he was furious, angry that she didn’t understand patience, for the thrill of the moment, almost...

The little sweetheart in his arms nodded, her face already wiped clean, returning to its usual fair and tender state, "Yeah, a guy like him, full of malicious intentions, if not afraid of causing you trouble, I would whip him till he couldn’t stand! See if he’ll dare to spout nonsense like that again!"

No words of love were said, yet Yelyu Lie felt it was more beautiful than anything he had ever heard.

His heart suddenly started trembling, an uncontrollable tremble.

He buried his head in her neck, trembling all over.

"What’s wrong? Don’t be mad, I won’t next time..."

"Don’t move!."

Yun Chunnuan tried to push him away, continually apologizing, but he held her tightly, unusually emotional.

No one ever stood up for him like that, never... never...

In those days of being bullied, beaten, and scolded, Mother only told him not to cry, to fight back fiercely.

Father would punish those scumbags but privately thought it was just child’s play, to be outgrown.

He, that little him, suffered in silence, wanting to find someone to cry to, to stir up.

Also wanting someone to stand up and protect him unconditionally.

This life, he thought there’d never be another, because he grew up, could protect himself now.

But...

Yun Chunnuan felt her neck a bit wet and panicked, "Are you crying?"

"No! How could I cry, don’t move, let me hold you for a while..."

Yun Chunnuan: "..."

Alright, the kid got called ’bastard’ again, felt really wronged, crying is just crying, she wouldn’t laugh at him.

Just holding him trembling so, Yun Chunnuan regretted not whipping that Ugly Prince a few more times!
