Luanxiao's heart skipped a beat, and suddenly didn't know what to do.
After hesitating for a moment, she broke free from the man's embrace and took two steps back. "Brigadier General, let's part on good terms."
With that, she walked towards her room.
When she reached the door of her room and saw that he was still following her, she said, "If you have nothing else, please go back. It's getting late, and I need to rest."
Lu Yichen His mouth opened slightly, but the words he wanted to say were swallowed back down. At this moment, he probably couldn't take in anything about Luanxiao. It would be better to wait for her to calm down before speaking again.
Then, a loud "bang" sounded in front of him.
Lu Yichen looked at the tightly closed door, feeling a sudden sense of powerlessness and defeat in his heart.
Even when he was once surrounded by thousands of troops and horses, cut off from food and grass, he did not feel fear or worry. But today, facing the cold rejection of Luanxiao, he couldn't help but feel worried and afraid.
Lu Yichen sat on the ground, the cool night breeze making him unusually clear-headed, with thoughts of his interactions with Luanxiao flooding his mind.
Inside the room, Luanxiao tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, with thoughts of Lu Yichen consuming her. She tried hard to restrain herself from thinking about him, but his appearance and the things he said seemed to be etched in her mind, impossible to shake off. For a moment, she felt like she was going to have a mental breakdown.
Early the next morning, as the maid stepped into the courtyard where Luanxiao resided, she saw an unidentified object lying at the door of Luanxiao. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was Lu Yichen. Startled, the maid immediately dropped what she was holding and ran over, exclaiming, "Brigadier General, what happened! Someone come quick, Brigadier General has fainted! Help, someone come quick!"
Upon hearing the commotion, Luanxiao woke up and, realizing what was happening, hurriedly opened the door without even putting on her shoes.
"Madam, Brigadier General,"
"Quick, lift him onto the bed!" After saying this, Luanxiao and the maid together lifted Lu Yichen onto the bed.
"It's nothing serious, just caught a cold," Luanxiao felt Lu Yichen's pulse and then relaxed, "Go cook a bowl of ginger soup."
"Okay, Madam!" The maid said and then left.
Inside the room, Luanxiao covered Lu Yichen with a thick blanket, constantly rubbing his cold hands and feet. Before long, Lu Yichen woke up.
"I'm sorry." The first thing he said upon waking up was an apology.
Seeing Luanxiao not saying anything, he gently stroked her cheek, "Your complexion is so bad, you didn't sleep all night, did you."
"Rest well, I'm leaving." Luanxiao pushed away his hand.
"It's cold outside, you're not dressed warmly enough. I'm leaving," Lu Yichen said, then got out of bed and left the room.
Luanxiao watched his departing figure, feeling conflicted once again. Which one of these men, the one in front of her or the one investigating her behind her back, was the real him? Could she really trust him?
Thinking about it, drowsiness from the Luanxiao came over me.
By the time she woke up, the sun was already high in the sky. This was the time when there were the fewest people in the mansion, as everyone was busy going out to make purchases and handle affairs. Luanxiao hesitated for a moment, then decided to take the opportunity to escape. Since she had already decided to divorce Lu Yichen, she would have to leave sooner or later. It was better to leave now while no one noticed, to avoid unnecessary attention.
Hastily packing up the luggage, I quietly arrived at the front gate and found someone on guard. What to do? Suddenly, I thought of a place where there would definitely be no one.
"This wall is quite high!" I initially wanted to climb over it, but the wall was too high. "I've got it," I said, and with a sudden leap, I jumped onto the nearby tree and then onto the top of the wall.
"Madam, your wall-climbing skills are impressive!" Before I could steady myself, I heard Lu Yichen's voice. Startled, I slipped and fell down. "Ah, help!"
Lu Yichen flashed by and caught Luanxiao directly. "Why are you scared now? Weren't you confident just now?" Lu Yichen's usually cold eyes seemed to be tainted with an indescribable evil at this moment.
"What are you here for? I have things to do. Go back!" Luanxiao was scared, but her attitude was very arrogant, refusing to back down!
"Madam, since you won't listen, I have to take coercive measures!" With that, he forcefully lifted Luanxiao onto his shoulder.
This action caught Luanxiao off guard, and she was so scared that she quickly grabbed the man's neck as a support point. The sudden movement pulled at the wound on her back, causing Luanxiao to cry out in pain.
"What's wrong?" Lu Yichen asked in a deep voice.
"I got scratched on my back by a branch when I was climbing the tree."
"I'll take a look!" Lu Yichen listened and quickly let go of Luanxiao.
As soon as Lu Yichen let go, Luanxiao ran off. Before running ten meters, she was stopped by Linghua.
"Linghua, please ask the young lady to go back!" Lu Yichen said coldly. If she doesn't listen to kind advice, it's her own fault.
Back in the room, Luanxiao angrily closed the door, "I want to rest, don't disturb me!"
Then the door was pushed open, Lu Yichen walked in with medicine.
"Didn't you hear what I said? Get out!" Luanxiao threw a pillow at him.
"Take the medicine," Lu Yichen picked up the pillow that was thrown at him, and said expressionlessly.
"I don't want you to give me medicine, call the maid in!"
"Okay, you be good and rest up these days. When you've calmed down and want to hear my explanation, let me know." After saying that, he put the medicine on the bedside and left.
