Chapter 291: Spending the Night Together (5) (1/2)

When Chu Lian saw that the man before her was just staring at her in complete silence, she thought that she hadn’t made herself clear.

She pressed her dry lips together and put a little more thought into her words. Then, she said, “Mister, I have to be frank with you. I’m already married.”

The undercurrent of her words was that, even if he had feelings towards her, he should give them up and keep his distance.

He Sanlang almost puked blood. He was so angry that he felt tendrils of pain stabbing his head. However, after hearing Chu Lian declare her marital status, he was also relieved.

At least this wicked woman still remembered her place and how important her good name and reputation were. She wasn’t trying to seduce other men and make a cuckold out of him.

However, before He Sanlang even had the time to relax, Chu Lian’s next words gave him the urge to strangle her.

Chu Lian had carefully observed the man’s expression before continuing to speak.

She coughed gently to dispel the awkward atmosphere.

“I’m very grateful that you saved me under those circumstances. Judging by the look of your armour, you must be one of the soldiers in the Liangzhou border troops? My husband’s also in the same army. He might even be your superior! And with that weird temperament of his, if he finds out that you’ve taken advantage of me, he might even decide to cut your hands off!”

He Changdi sneered inwardly and added his own line at the end. If someone really dared to touch Chu Lian, he wouldn’t just stop at chopping off the adulterer’s hands. His gaze turned cold when it landed on Chu Lian’s own soft, white hands, which were tightly clenched in her clothes.

His half-lidded eyes concealed his cold expression from Chu Lian’s notice. She thought that she had successfully reminded the man of the stakes and huffed a little in relief.
