Chapter 375: Not Afraid of A Little Spice? (2) (1/2)

Only He Sanlang and Chu Lian were left in the tent now. Wenqing and Wenlan had already made their escape.

If this had been a normal day, Chu Lian would definitely have been stubborn and hardheaded. However, she just couldn’t summon up her courage today. She snuck a glance at the missing space in front of the armour and made a silent prayer for herself.

Her body had just been warmed up by the soup, but now her lunatic husband had gone and made things all cold again.

When she looked at how He Sanlang was sitting up straight at the side without moving, as if he were a statue, Chu Lian felt extremely awkward.

After a long moment of silence, Chu Lian lost her patience first.

“It was my mistake today. I’ll compensate you with another set of armour.”

He Changdi looked straight at his wife, who had her head slightly lowered. All the anger in him had already disappeared when their guests had left.

Seeing how she had shrunk back into herself like a scared little bunny, the reprimand that he had been about to unleash remained stuck in his throat.

Thinking back to the ‘snowboat’ that she had gifted to him this morning, He Changdi’s heart softened.

This woman had thought about him at the first moment. She had given him that precious blueprint without any caution at all. No one knew the value of that snowboat better than he did.

His image of her was slowly pulling away from the wicked woman from his previous life.

When he thought of that, He Sanlang’s frozen heart melted into a pile of water, as if spring had already come. The issue with the armour became inconsequential to him.

Looking again at the timid-looking Chu Lian, he just couldn’t bear to speak any words of scolding.

Luckily, He Changdi was the kind who kept his guard up and his thoughts to himself. He wouldn’t share his thoughts just like that. Otherwise, if Chu Lian were to reveal the real reason for giving him the snowboat rather than presenting it herself, he would be the one to puke blood in anger.

Chu Lian was still waiting for her lunatic husband to scold her with her head lowered. Who could have thought that she wouldn’t hear anything from He Changdi at all, even though her neck was already starting to hurt?

She looked up and cast a quick glance at He Changdi.

Only to realise that he was looking at her with that deep gaze of his. The emotions swirling in his eyes were just too strange. Chu Lian shivered; why did she feel like he was going to eat her up in the next instant…

After getting caught by Chu Lian, He Changdi shifted his gaze away and coughed awkwardly. Following that, he picked up the chest plate from the floor. Under Chu Lian’s frightened gaze, he wiped the chest plate clean and placed it back over the brazier.

He moved a plate of raw beef slices that hadn’t been grilled in front of Chu Lian, “Cook this.”

Chu Lian thought that she was hallucinating and replied with a dazed, “Ah?”

He Changdi tried his best to adjust his expression and make it as neutral as possible, instead of cool.

“I didn’t eat just now. I’m still hungry.”

Chu Lian shot a doubtful glance at him. She hadn’t been watching him just now, so she didn’t know if he was speaking the truth. Had he really not eaten at all just now?
