Chapter 704 - He Came Looking (2/2)

The situation here was too unstable. She called the servants to take good care of Little Xingxing. It might be ten days or even two weeks before she could return to the city.

That day, Shangguan Wan took more than ten soldiers to patrol the border and after that, when they returned to the camp, Captain Jiang reported to her, “An hour ago, the military region called and said that the Fifth Prince will be coming down for inspection tomorrow morning.”

Shangguan Wan was pouring water out of a thermos and when she heard Captain Jiang’s words, her hand shook and some hot water spilled onto the back of her hand.

“Lieutenant, are you okay?”

Shangguan Wan looked at the back of her hand which was scalded red. She endured the pain and shook her head calmly. “I’m fine. Go ahead and carry on with your work!”

…

At night.

Shangguan Wan lay on a simple wooden bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Why would Ye Yanfeng come here for an inspection?

Was it because of her?

The more Shangguan Wan thought about it, the more she could not sleep.

She turned over, her fingers clenched into tight fists and she punched the wooden bed, hard.

She had already left to such a remote place to avoid him as much as she could.

Why was he like a ghost following her around?

Shangguan Wan only slept for an hour after tossing and turning till late into the night. When the horn sounded, she got out of bed and went with the soldiers for training.

After training, Shangguan Wan ate breakfast and looked outside.

Heavy snow was falling from the sky.

The roads were difficult to walk on at the border and under such bad weather, it was difficult for the fleet of cars to enter.

Ever since she had received the news that Ye Yanfeng was coming, her face was tense and at this moment, a faint smile appeared.

G.o.d had forbid him to come.

Naturally she was happy.

Sure enough, she did not receive any further notice of Ye Yanfeng coming in the morning.

At noon, Shangguan Wan went to the dormitory to rest. When she was in a groggy state of sleep, she suddenly heard the sound of helicopter propellers outside.

Shangguan Wan thought she was dreaming and used her pillow to cover her head.

But not long after, there was knocking on the door.

“Lieutenant, are you awake?”

Hearing Captain Jiang’s voice, Shangguan Wan removed the pillow and sat up on the bed.

After smoothing out her military uniform, she put on her military boots, walked quickly to the door and opened it.

“Lieutenant, His Highness is here.”

Shangguan Wan’s lifted her eyebrows and her expression changed. “He still came when the snow is so heavy?”

Captain Jiang saw Shangguan Wan’s expression and thought that she was nervous because of the Fifth Prince. He comforted her by saying, “Lieutenant, His Highness has a n.o.ble status. The conditions here are simple and his inspection should not last more than two days.”

Shangguan Wan nodded. “Hopefully!”

Returning to the dormitory to get her hat, Shangguan Wan strode towards the training grounds.
