Chapter 31: Blushing, but I’ll Hold Him Anyway!
When she first arrived in this time period, she was proud and arrogant. She was pushed away by this man, and after understanding the situation, she felt displeased.
She thought, with her abilities, couldn’t she easily pick any excellent man in this era?
She didn’t care about a loveless marriage, but now, she didn’t want to leave.
Everyone treasured this man.
She wasn’t so blind as to mistake a gem for a stone.
A man who is liked by one woman might be blind, but a man liked by many women is definitely not bad.
Moreover, he was a soldier, his character guaranteed, and most importantly, she liked this man.
Wen Yanyan was confident that one day, she would make this man madly fall in love with her.
But Nan Fangjue thought for a moment and said,
“I’ll think about it.”
Wen Yanyan gritted her teeth secretly. Damn it, she had been so proactive, and still couldn’t keep him?
But she quickly let it go. Yes, she wasn’t who she used to be. So she gently asked,
“Do you prefer rice or noodles?”
Nan Fangjue, who was sharpening a knife, casually said,
“Noodles.”
“Okay, then I’ll make you dumplings, with mushroom and pork filling.”
Wen Yanyan took out mushrooms and a piece of pork from the cupboard.
She had bought the pork that morning; it was very fresh.
Nan Fangjue didn’t speak, taking it as an agreement.
“Once you’re done sharpening the knife, go back to the room and rest. You just got back from a mission; you must be tired.”
Wen Yanyan was considerate.
“Okay.”
Nan Fangjue also needed some quiet time, so he put down the sharpened knife and went back to his room.
His heart was in a mess.
What was going on?
Wen Yanyan seemed like a completely different person. She could even make dumplings?
Before, she would rather go hungry than lift a finger.
Let alone something as troublesome as making dumplings.
Was he dreaming?
Suddenly.
“Woof!”
The puppy barked.
Woof?
He became alert. Why did the puppy bark like that?
Nan Fangjue walked over, crouched beside the dog’s bed, and first checked its tail.
Huh? No tail?
Broken?
Seven days had passed since Wen Yanyan had cut off the tail, and the little guy’s tail had long since fallen off.
Even without a tail, Nan Fangjue found it increasingly suspicious, because its face didn’t look like a dog; its mouth was a bit long.
If it wasn’t a dog, could it be a wolf?
He couldn’t tell for sure, because it was too small, and its features weren’t yet obvious.
Besides, Wen Yanyan couldn’t be raising a wolf pup, could she?
There were no wolves in the military area.
At this time, the little guy lay quietly in its bed, motionless.
Nan Fangjue got up and sat back in his chair, and then he saw a glass bottle on the windowsill with some colorful wildflowers in it.
He was stunned again.
When did she start liking wildflowers?
Before, Wen Yanyan was lucky if she didn’t destroy the flowers.
Nan Fangjue had many questions he couldn’t understand, so he simply stopped thinking about it and lay down on the bed, closing his eyes.
His nostrils moved slightly, smelling a pleasant scent on the pillow.
His heart was surprisingly at peace.
…
When Wen Yanyan finished making and cooking the dumplings and went to call Nan Fangjue for dinner, she found him asleep.
She hesitated. Should she wake him up? He must be tired.
Wen Yanyan gently walked to the bedside, quietly watching him, and found that he looked so cute when he was asleep.
A pair of long, dark eyelashes lay quietly on his eyelids, like a gentle and harmless little puppy.
Suddenly.
“Woof!”
The little guy in the bed barked, immediately startling Nan Fangjue awake. He sat up and looked alertly at Wen Yanyan standing by the bed.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m calling you for dinner.”
Wen Yanyan deliberately ignored his wary gaze. “The dumplings are ready.”
Then she went out.
After a while, Nan Fangjue also came out, and they sat opposite each other.
“After we got married, I’ve never cooked for you. This is the first time. Try it.”
Wen Yanyan pushed a bowl of dumplings towards him.
“Okay.”
Nan Fangjue dipped a dumpling in the sauce. It was delicious and unexpectedly fragrant. He looked at her in surprise and said,
“You eat too.”
“Oh.”
Wen Yanyan also picked up a dumpling, dipped it in the sauce, and ate it. Hmm, the dumplings tasted good.
As she ate, her nose felt a little sour, and she thought of her mother in her past life.
Ever since she learned to make dumplings, her mother had never eaten any she made.
And her mother would never eat them again. Most importantly, she had no one to talk to about these sad things, no one who understood.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Nan Fangjue keenly noticed her unusual behavior.
Wen Yanyan blinked, smiled, “I’m fine. By the way, about me giving you that medicine last time…”
She wanted to explain.
“I know. It’s okay.”
But before she could finish, Nan Fangjue interrupted her.
Huh?
She was stunned. “Who told you?” Was there someone reporting to him?
“The commander. He called me that day.”
Nan Fangjue replied.
“Oh.”
Wen Yanyan didn’t speak. So it was Commander Liu who told him.
Then he must also know that Zhang Meimei was the one who asked her to drug him.
She had nothing to say.
…
After dinner, Wen Yanyan cleaned the table. “If you’re tired, go back to sleep. I can go out.”
She hadn’t forgotten Nan Fangjue’s alert gaze when he woke up.
“No, I have to go out.” He said.
“Then…”
Wen Yanyan wanted to ask where he was going, but hesitated. She could sense his coldness and distance; asking might not get her an answer.
Nan Fangjue said again,
“We got married because of an arranged marriage by our elders. We’re not familiar with each other, and living together is awkward, so…”
“You, you want to separate from me?”
Wen Yanyan bit her lower lip hard, avoiding hurting him with her words.
“No, what I mean is…” Nan Fangjue continued.
She put down her bowl, reached out and hugged his waist tightly, her face and chest pressed against his back.
“Nan Fangjue, don’t treat me like this. I’m young and still have a lot to learn. I need time. I don’t ask for much, just stay by my side, even if we just talk.”
Nan Fangjue remained motionless. After a long while, he said,
“You misunderstood me. I mean, we’ll sleep in separate beds. I’ll go to the guesthouse and get a folding bed.”
Wen Yanyan twisted her body.
“No, you can’t get a bed. Others will laugh at me, look down on me, and say I’m incompetent and can’t keep a man.”
She insisted on her insistence.
“Let’s just sleep in one bed. If you don’t want to do it, I promise I won’t touch you. Is that okay?”
Wen Yanyan had a feeling she was seducing this man. Blushing, but she would hold him anyway.
