Chapter 228 - Get Ready, Your Knight Will Escort You (1/2)

----At the Yue Military Base---

It was eight o'clock at night when Yue Wan returned from training with a bit more of a tired face compared to the first day. Today, apart from physical training, Instructor Zhao had taught her some self-defense.

He was a little surprised, no matter what kind of attack he did, Yue Wan didn't seem to be able to control her subconscious movements. Based on her instinct, she controlled the time accurately every time, when she made the appropriate defensive move.

However, what she lacked was stamina, and Instructor Zhao was quick to point it out. Even so, Yue Wan had left a deep impression on the training ground.

Touching her weary neck, Yue Wan opened the door.

'BAM'

”What the?” Yue Wan muttered as flower petals fell from the sky, showering her in their beauty.

She looked up and saw the bouquet of rose dangling in the air with the help of some balloons. She stared at the roses in front of her, her heartbeat started to speed up uncontrollably.

She tried very hard to steady herself.

Yue Wan reached out and caught the bouquet out of reflex. Covering her mouth, she snickered. ”What is he doing?”

In the middle of those flowers, there was a cute postcard with a cat's paw print that belongs to the Little soldier.

While reading it, Yue Wan's lip curved up with a shy smile. Then she lifted the bouquet and found a thread attached to it. Following it, she entered the bedroom.

On her queen bed, two things were laid along with a white postcard.

Picking up the paper, she read: [A special dress for a special night. Get ready, your knight will escort you to me]

Placing the card down, she touched the blue tie-dye lace dress.

The dress featured a bralette-inspired bodice, composed of crochet lace with pretty pierced detailing and two sets of adjustable spaghetti straps that crisscross at back for an eye-catching look. The set-in waist sat atop of a gauzy woven swing skirt, finished with tiers of ruffled trim along a handkerchief hem.

Next to it was a jewel box with a silver rhinestone layered necklace, it had two rows of delicate silver chains and gorgeous star-shaped pendants covered in silver rhinestones.

Smiling uncontrollably, Yue Wan quickly took a shower and dressed herself up in it. As she checked herself in the mirror, her mouth slightly gaped open, her eyes widened in astonishment and after a minute, her face turned crimson. She looked extraordinarily beautiful with a captivating glow.

Right then, a cute voice disturbed her from the daze: ”Meow~~~”

Yue Wan turned back in swift: ”Little Bao!”

He was wearing matching a bow in his neck similar to her dress colour but with a purple stone on its center.

Before she could touch him, he nuzzled on her feet, made a motion to follow him. 'Mommy follow me.'

Looking at his fondly, Yue Wan knelt down and ċȧrėssed his head: ”Let the way, my little man.”

Nodding his head, Little Bao bounced towards the backside door of the villa while looking her back on his every jump.

----Behind the villa-----

Just as the door was opened, Yue Wan was welcomed by an awe inspiring sight.

There were blue candles on the sides of the long and narrow pathway and the fragrant scent of rose lingered in the air. The candlelight was an arc of brilliant gold in the blackness and paper lanterns from the trees and plants. The drizzling snow flickered the yellow light in the dark polished glass complementing the night sky and created a warm glow as the daylight fades.
