Unknowingly, they had been on the road for three days; those days in the carriage had driven Lan Lan crazy.
“My Dragon Young Master, how much longer until we reach the capital? I’m so tired! Can we rest for a bit?” Lan Lan patted her shoulders with her delicate hand and lifted the curtain to look outside, where the sun was setting.
Looking at Long Junhao’s expressionless face, Lan Lan felt a sense of grievance. If you’re not beautiful, you won’t be loved. This guy had a poker face all day, wasting his good looks.
Little did she know, Long Junhao was already being quite nice to her. Others would have been intimidated by his cold glare, but he seemed to turn a blind eye to her boldness, his amusement growing secretly.
Long Junhao never considered that, even if they couldn’t become a couple, he could still provide her with a princess-like life.
“Long Junhao, are you listening? If you’re not deaf, please respond!” she said softly.
Long Junhao’s mouth curved slightly. This girl always thought he couldn’t hear her. She didn’t know he could hear sounds from ten miles away.
Very few people knew he was a top-tier expert, with only a few legendary predecessors capable of surpassing him. He had secretly overheard many strange terms from her, such as “If only there was a car” and “I miss Taiwanese milk tea so much!” These musings brought a smile to his heart, making life seem more enjoyable with her by his side.
When Long Junhao didn’t respond after a couple of sentences, Lan Lan’s tired and hungry mood flared up. But then, Long Junhao spoke: “Be patient a little longer. There’s an inn ahead with hot springs that can reduce fatigue!”
Upon hearing this, her anger was replaced by joy. Since arriving, she hadn’t had a comfortable bath, and washing in the military camp was cumbersome. For someone used to daily showers, this was torture. Hot springs sounded delightful, and she couldn’t wait.
Finally, Long Junhao announced, “We’re here! Come down! It’s remote with fewer people, so it’s quite quiet.”
