Hearing this, Qin Qing suddenly looked up at him, realizing that he hadn't misunderstood. Perhaps because he was too straight-laced, he didn't even know why she was getting a nosebleed...
Then he quickly grabbed Wang Yan, speaking anxiously and frantically.
"No! Don't call a doctor! I'm a doctor myself, I know what's going on, there's no need to call a doctor."
Wang Yan turned his head and frowned.
"What kind of doctor are you? What good are your skills?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Qing choked and immediately looked at him with displeasure! She subconsciously retorted.
"What do you mean my skills are useless? What's wrong with my skills? Don't forget that you were almost shot through by an arrow half a year ago, and I was the one who saved you!"
The greatest tragedy for a doctor is to have his or her abilities questioned by his or her patients!
Thinking about it, she looked at Wang Yan with indignation, only to see him twitch the corners of his mouth and reveal a sly smile.
"What? You remembered?"
She was stunned for a moment, then realized she had fallen for a trap, and stared at Wang Yan with wide eyes in disbelief...
I haven't seen this jerk for half a year and he's already learned how to manipulate people?! Was that honey trap he just used on purpose?
After thinking it through, she felt both angry and ashamed. She pushed Wang Yan away forcefully and shouted.
"You...you actually lied!"
Wang Yan raised an eyebrow, his serious expression softening slightly, and even taking on a hint of unintentional teasing.
"A general who has fought in battles for years without any skill or strategy, is he still a general? He's just a brute!"
There was absolutely nothing wrong with what he said, and Qin Qing was immediately speechless, unable to find any words to refute it.
The entire sequence of events unfolded before their eyes, witnessed by the two little ones. Their innocent, childlike eyes curiously glanced at Qin Qing, then at Wang Yan…
The moment Qin Qing lowered her head, she met two pairs of very curious eyes, as if asking, "Grandma, what are you talking about?" Her face stiffened, and a sense of guilt welled up inside her!
The feeling... how to describe it! It's like a couple flirting, only to be discovered by their daughter who's not even ten years old yet!
Thinking of this, she quickly forced herself to calm down, straightened her expression, and after a moment looked at Wang Yan with a normal expression.
"General, you didn't come here today for such a trivial matter, did you? Since the army's dignity is not diminished in the slightest, you may leave now! We're also preparing to close the shop!"
After saying that, she took the two little ones' hands again and prepared to leave.
Seeing how quickly she recovered, Wang Yan sighed inwardly, and couldn't help but think about everything that had just happened.
An hour earlier, under the bright sunshine, he was supervising the soldiers as they practiced swords and spears and trained various skills on the training ground. He happened to see a soldier rushing towards the rear camp. With nothing else to do, he decided to go and check on the rear camp as well.
But he happened to overhear the soldier recounting what had happened, and when he heard that familiar name, he was completely stunned!
Since she left without saying goodbye last time, he quickly adjusted his mindset thanks to his self-control over the years, focusing all his attention on the battlefield and the journey back to the capital after the victory, thus suppressing the slight emotion he had been ignoring...
Perhaps this feeling wasn't deep or dramatic enough, but it still lingered in his thoughts day and night, and he couldn't forget it for a long time! Just like Mu Qinshi, there was no tender affection between them like in books, nor the heart-wrenching pain of the battlefield, and in terms of their status, they would hardly have any interaction.
But this very person inexplicably caught his attention…
Then, he took the initiative to come out, and with a serious expression, he led a few soldiers out to investigate under the pretext of arresting those who slandered the army. In reality, he himself couldn't tell how much of it was for the army's reputation and how much was out of longing.
When Qin Qing actually appeared in front of him, he was stunned for a moment, his mind blank. Then, the man spoke, his first words being... "Want to buy rice?"
How could he not be angry? Agitation and anger welled up inside him, but even more so, he felt a sense of unfamiliarity towards this woman!
In a fit of anger, he still spoke coldly, his words carrying a hint of sarcasm, and then regretted it afterward.
Fortunately, after so long, she seemed to have become less clever. With just a gentle nudge, the woman in front of him admitted it herself.
This feeling was strange, but surprisingly it made him feel comfortable and not at all unpleasant!
Coming to his senses, Wang Yan watched Qin Qing's departing figure and wisely turned and walked out.
Qin Qing breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. After everyone left, he quickly locked the door of the rice shop and then turned around and sat in the carriage that had been parked to the side.
The carriage quickly departed, and Wang Yan made no attempt to stop it throughout the entire journey. Seeing this, Qin Qing couldn't help but turn back...
Before my eyes, a handsome man dressed in black nimbly mounted his horse, his gaze serious and focused, as if he were on a mission. More than twenty soldiers followed closely behind him.
With this kind of scene, anyone who didn't know better would think that Qin Qing had done something terribly wrong and was being chased by the army!
So, in the next ten minutes or so, a very frightening scene unfolded on one of the busiest streets in Beijing!
A very ordinary carriage was slowly moving ahead, driven by a beautiful woman in blue. Behind the carriage, the well-known General Wang Yan of the Tianlong Kingdom rode closely behind with a serious expression. The rest of the carriage consisted of soldiers in neat formation, each one full of heroic spirit and imposing presence!
No one knew what their general was doing, nor where they were going, but that couldn't dampen the people's enthusiasm!
Qin Qing could only stand stiffly, enduring the fiery and gossipy gazes from everyone.
Well! I'm probably going to become famous now!
For some reason, she felt a sense of envy, jealousy, and resentment, like when a popular figure at school confesses their feelings to her.
The journey continued awkwardly and quietly. She dared not go home until she turned into a sparsely populated alley. Then she jumped off the carriage and glared at Wang Yan with fiery eyes.
"General, are you bored out of your mind all day? Why are you following me?"
Seeing her stop her horse so quickly, and hearing her complaints and grievances, Wang Yan was somewhat stunned, and then hesitated before speaking.
"You...don't want me to know where you live?"
Qin Qing couldn't help but roll her eyes!
"Brother, look at this! Haven't we been stared at enough on the way here? If I go home with such a long tail, who knows what the neighbors will say tomorrow! I'm a woman too, I have a sense of shame, okay? We can't be so childish!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yan's cold face fell into deep thought for a moment, as if he understood something...
Seeing his expression, Qin Qing thought he had finally realized what was happening. Before she could feel any relief, she heard Wang Yan say something that made her freeze and utterly speechless!
