Shen Danding remained calm, raising an eyebrow and glancing at me. “Yes.”
I wiped my sweat and restored my composure, slowly sitting down. “Then I’m relieved. My sister was quite angry today; you should go comfort her. If she holds a grudge, she won’t speak to you for at least three months.”
“If the Princess hadn’t called me to discuss this, I would have already gone.”
I was speechless. So I had done something unnecessary? I waved my hand, and he stood up to leave, departing decisively.
I sighed, feeling exhausted…
Even if I wish it, I can’t just jump straight to the point—” I suddenly realized. “What you just said, is it what I’m thinking?”
Shen Dan Ding is the type who would force himself on someone only under extreme circumstances.
The sparrow’s face darkened. “Madam! When I said ‘strong embrace’, I meant forceful hugging.”
I let out a sigh of relief. “I said General Shen would never do such a thing—did you say my little sister slapped him?”
She nodded. “Yes, quite hard. The fingermark on General Shen’s face won’t fade anytime soon.”
After quickly washing up, I rushed to my little sister’s room and found General Shen pacing at the doorway, looking stiff. When he saw me, he maintained his signature stone-faced expression as he bowed.
“It seems the general’s conversation with Yaner didn’t go smoothly yesterday,” I coughed, pretending not to see the faint redness from the fingermark on his face. “Do you need me to talk to my little sister?”
General Shen nodded. “Then I’ll trouble the princess.”
My little sister was curled up under the blanket, like a hibernating snake. I pulled away her blanket, and she reached for a pillow to cover her face, continuing to sleep.
“Don’t you want to chat with your second sister?
“I brought a plate of rose cakes, waving it in front of her nose.
She immediately opened her eyes, her black pupils focusing on the rose cake. “There’s nothing to talk about.”
“Really nothing to talk about?” I picked up a piece of cake and took a deep breath. “It smells so good.”
“I want to eat!” She sprang up, reaching for it, but I blocked her. “Wash up first. Then tell me what happened last night?”
