“I want to know where the others went.”
Sadness flashed across the old woman’s face. She sighed deeply. “Alas! This is fate. They went where they were meant to go.”
Dan Xiao Ya’s calm face showed no emotion. She coldly said, “Thank you!” and gave a complex look to the two other women before being the first to leave the room.
Chapter 082
Hu Yan Nan knew Dan Xiao Ya was returning today, feeling a tremor, a heartbeat, and an impatience… In his anger, he had sent her to Shi Zhan Yuan, wanting her to forget that man. The next day, he regretted it, but it was too late.
Hu Yannan passively took the wine cup and drank it in one gulp. During the days she was not around, he was filled with endless longing. He would make it up to her and ensure she only had him in her heart…
Putting down the cup, he looked at Shan Xiaoya with affectionate eyes and sincerely said: “Xiaoya, I will never forget you, now…”
Shan Xiaoya heard these words without any emotion. She smiled lightly. “Thank you, General, for your kindness to this humble woman. Would Xiaoya dance to wish you well?” Before Hu Yannan could respond, Shan Xiaoya had already glided to the center of the room and begun her dance performance. Her flexible waist and silk dress swaying captivated Hu Yannan.
After the dance, Shan Xiaoya breathlessly flew into Hu Yannan’s arms. Sitting on his lap, she wrapped one hand around his neck. “General, did I dance well?” Hu Yannan looked at Shan Xiaoya in his arms, and his heart spasmed. Her cold, heartless eyes and passionate behavior made him feel guilty yet also stirred his heart. To possess her but not her heart – perhaps this was heaven’s punishment for him.
Shan Xiaoya’s expression brightened at his words, feeling a warmth in her heart. “General, you promise?” she asked, her eyes sparkling.
Hu Yannan nodded firmly, “I promise.”
Just then, a loud bang interrupted their moment, causing them to jump apart. They looked towards the door, tension flooding the atmosphere as they prepared for whatever might come next.
The door swung open, revealing a servant looking flustered. “General, there is urgent news from the northern front!”
