Xiaowan immediately agreed as she glanced at the sleeping Hanxi. She thought about helping the general wake her up, but after thinking about it, what if the general just wanted to take a look?

Although the Empress had entrusted her with the task of trying to arrange a match for this couple, her husband had already warned her to not interfere. In this way, no matter how far this progressed, it would still be the desired result.

”General, I'm outside. Call me if you need anything.” The Xiaowan was blessed, and left her tent to guard the door under the starry sky.

Ling Chaofeng was watching her from afar. Xiaowan waved at his husband with a smile.

In fact, he had always thought that with Xiaowan's temperament, she would be impulsive and hot-blooded in the face of anything, not caring about the consequences. Perhaps what she had experienced was not enough and it did not show itself. However, everything she had encountered in the past few days was enough for an ordinary person to live a lifetime.

However, it was as if something had settled in her body early in the morning. Rather than saying that she particularly listened to him, it would be more accurate to say that she would think twice before acting in times of trouble. She was very smart and calm.

The Xiaowan waved her hand towards Ling Chaofeng, signalling for him to go back and rest. Ling Chaofeng nodded and turned to walk back into the tent.

At this side, Wei Tengfei guarded the sleeping Hanxi for a long time as he watched. Finally, she made a sound and lightly woke her up.

When he woke up from his dream, the moment he woke up, he was filled with fear. He didn't know where he was. He didn't know what time it was. He didn't know if he had drifted to the sea with the ship.

But when she opened her eyes, she saw a face that made her feel reassured, even though it was harsher than when she had reprimanded her.

”General …” Hanxi felt extremely wronged, the moment she opened her mouth, her tears fell like rain.

”What are you crying for?” As expected, Wei Tengfei frowned, his heart was clearly filled with tender affection, and he pretended to be disdainful on the surface, ”All day long, you cry, where did all these tears come from? Could it be that the ocean of my Daqi was filled with your tears?”

As Hanxi sobbed, she was at a loss of what to do. She actually opened her arms and pulled her into her embrace.

The person in her embrace immediately became quiet, Hanxi's arms were bound, but she did not try to struggle at all, she only looked at the person who was hugging her in shock, and her tears also stopped.

”Cough …” Wei Tengfei cleared his throat awkwardly, ”You're not crying?”

Hanxi was still looking at him in a daze. This hug was so steady and so dependable, why did she suddenly have a thought about hiding in this kind of shelter for her entire life.

What was she thinking? What was she going crazy about? She was the fiancee of the Prince of Xiluo …

”General.” Hanxi's body lightly moved. Although he did not explain it, he understood what he meant. He hoped that he would let go.

Wei Tengfei was in his thirties and had never taken a wife or concubine before. Even the maidservants in the mansion hadn't looked at him properly, not to mention that military discipline forbade soldiers from touring or drinking in the flowerbeds. ”For such a big man to have never even touched a woman's fingers, there were actually quite a few people who laughed at him from behind his back.

But Wei Tengfei did not care, he was a human, not a beast, so how could he not have this kind of self-control?

After leaving Wei Tengfei's embrace, his body still retained the feeling of being gently held. Hanxi hugged his arms, looking like he was afraid, but in truth, she was feeling the warmth brought by Wei Tengfei.

”Did it hurt you?” Wei Tengfei was worried that his hand wasn't light or heavy.

”None …” Hanxi's wet eyelashes trembled lightly, covering the depths of her eyes.

Wei Tengfei had a lot of things he wanted to say in his heart. For a while, he didn't know which sentence to say to the straightforward person, so he was extremely agitated. He stood up and paced back and forth in the room.

Hanxi secretly raised her head and looked at the man who was also looking at him.

”Be my wife!” Wei Tengfei stood still, then said, ”I truly regret not being in the mountain and telling you this, otherwise you would have been my woman a long time ago. Hanxi, don't go to the Xiluo.

Hanxi had already guessed about seventy to eighty percent of the truth in her heart, but when she heard these words, she was still shocked. Or perhaps, just because she did not want to go to the Xiluo, any random person was willing to bring her away and she was willing to follow?

No, it was because the person who said that to her, was Wei Tengfei.

Tears rolled down his face, blurring his vision. He could only feel the black shadow pressing down on him. He viciously said, ”Don't cry, what does crying mean? Stop it immediately.”

Han Xi is not a crybaby. She used to be happy and happy all the time, but she also made Grandma and Mother happy and happy all the time.” Even if she did bad things in the temple and was ordered by her grandmother to beat her with a bamboo board, she could still act coquettishly in her grandmother's arms. She definitely wouldn't use tears to gain sympathy.

She didn't know why, but she had become a person that could easily shed tears. Was it because the family had dispersed, because her mother had served her sentence, because she had lost her protection and support, and because she was afraid?
