13 Too Troublesome (2/2)

”Then, I will stay around to help.” He turned just to plant a quick kiss her on her forehead.

Mingyue stared at him in a daze and the questions she wanted to ask him earlier disappeared. The corner of her lips curved up, and something warm filled her heart. Feeling his hand gripping hers tightly gave her a feeling of security.

Her smile slowly disappeared as she recalled the conversation with her parents, and later with Yan Zifu. ”I heard that my brother has been having meetings with His Majesty these few days. Do you know anything about it?”

A small smile curved on his lips. ”I guess you must have heard about the mountain bandit?”

”Un.” Mingyue nodded. ”I heard from Yan Zifu just now. Will you be going?”

”The General assigned my team and me to go to the Luo Mountain to rescue the Minister of Personnel's son.”

Mingyue stared at the ground and lifted her head when she realized something from his words. ”Assigned you? You mean to say my brother won't be going?”

”He's not. His Majesty needs him by his side. There are a few matters they need to take care of.” He paused to look at her face to face. ”This time, I will lead the team into the mountain. Vice General Fei Liu will tag along as an observer.”

Yang Yun looked at his fiancee and saw her worry. He lifted their hands and touched the tip of her nose. His grip on her hands never let go. ”Don't worry. I will be alright.”

”I know you will. I have faith in you and your team's skills.” She said and frown. ”But this is the first time my brother let you lead on an expedition after your appointment as the team captain. I just can't help but worry.”
