Hot and cold, she couldn’t understand what he was thinking. Under his forceful pulling, she stumbled again. Dissatisfied, she suddenly pulled her hand away. “General, there’s no need to pull so hard. I’ll follow you back. Save your strength!”
Huoyan Nan stared at Dan Xiaoya with an iron-blue face. Although Dan Xiaoya was used to being alone and had no close friends, this didn’t mean she couldn’t read people’s expressions. She looked directly at his unfriendly face, knowing that if this continued, she would definitely be the one in trouble. Sensing the wind, she softened her tone, “General, don’t stare at me like this. It’ll make me feel guilty. I know I was out for a bit long, but it’s not like I committed a heinous crime. You won’t make a fuss over such a small thing, right?” She spoke with a smile, actively punching him lightly.
Originally very angry, Huoyan Nan’s anger mysteriously dissipated with her punch. Although he was still concerned about her wearing someone else’s coat, it was far less shocking than her sudden act of coquetry. With his emotions in turmoil, he walked back, his steps noticeably slower. Dan Xiaoya raised her eyebrows, knowing she had narrowly escaped. Although unwilling, she still followed his pace towards the General’s mansion.
Dan Xiaoya fiddled with her bracelet, knowing that the person would not give up and would surely come to reclaim it. Once the bracelet was on her wrist, it just wouldn’t come off. She had tried every possible method – using oil, water, nothing worked. Forcefully trying to remove it only resulted in her wrist becoming red and swollen… She let out a long sigh, “Alas! What should I do? What if he waits for me at every intersection tomorrow, catching me before I can reach Tian’en Temple?”
