Chapter 341 Does He Not Want You Anymore?
When Xie Liangchen saw Li Rong, his peach blossom eyes held not only wariness but also a hint of scrutiny.
The man in front of him wore a dark brown cloak, his black hair was tied up high, and a large knife was at his waist. He exuded an imposing aura.
However, unlike the portraits of the God of War Li Rong that I had seen before, he did not have a beard.
Upon closer inspection, he had long, thick eyebrows that reached his temples, with a frosty tinge on them. His eyes and brows were sharp and piercing, and his nose was higher and more prominent than the average person's. In addition, he was extremely tall. Xie Liangchen thought he was tall enough, but this man was probably more than half a head taller than him.
Logically speaking, with such looks and imposing presence, he should appear as a dignified, domineering, and unquestionable military general. Yet, when he looks at people, his eyes are slightly lowered, and the slightly upturned corners of his eyes add a touch of refinement and gentleness to his features. He also seems like a scholarly gentleman.
Two completely different auras appeared in the same person, and Xie Liangchen unconsciously straightened his back. His slender fingers clenched tightly, and he only came back to his senses when he felt pain.
"Oh, it's Dalang back!" Liu Ma's cheerful voice broke the silence. She even nudged Jiang Nuanzhi with a smile and winked at her teasingly.
Jiang Nuanzhi peered over Xie Liangchen's back and immediately spotted Li Rong's handsome face. Having not seen him for a long time, Jiang Nuanzhi had to admit that he looked better. Just as she was about to speak to him, she saw Li Rong nod at them and say, "Excuse me."
He simply walked right past the two of them.
Jiang Nuanzhi: "?"
What kind of approach is this?
To be precise, Li Rong had just met Jiang Nuanzhi briefly and didn't recognize her at all.
This snowy road was actually cleared by Jiang Nuanzhi, the old man, and Uncle Xin.
They had already started preparing to move to their new home before the blizzard began, but no one expected it to come so suddenly. To prevent the blizzard from continuing, they ran out of firewood and other necessities at their old house, so they moved through the snow, which is why this little path was barely preserved.
After all, this was a remote and desolate area, and the houses were built low. Everyone was mentally prepared for the snow to block their doors. Many people had cleared a path through the snow, at least enough to reach the well. So, Li Rong did indeed get home through the path that Jiang Nuanzhi and the others had dug.
At this moment, Li Rong went over first, followed by several young soldiers. However, their gazes were uncontrollably drawn to Jiang Nuanzhi. It was rare to see even one woman in the camp, let alone someone like Jiang Nuanzhi. For a moment, the soldiers stared at her with wide eyes.
Zhang Erhu, who was walking behind, saw Jiang Nuanzhi staring at him for a while. Finally, he couldn't help but scratch his forehead, blush and laugh, "You and our Doctor Jiang look very alike, hehe."
After saying that, she couldn't help but scratch her forehead, wanting to add that Dr. Jiang wasn't as pretty as her. But then she felt that Dr. Jiang was unique and couldn't be described simply as pretty. So she held back and just smiled as she followed the group.
The air fell eerily still for a moment, a long, drawn-out stillness, so quiet you could hear the rustling of snowflakes falling and the panting of a donkey.
Li Rong and his group left, but the horses were left here for the time being.
Jiang Nuanzhi glanced at the horses behind her and saw Xiao Li standing among them.
Just then, Xiaoli saw Jiang Nuanzhi and seemed to be in a good mood. She wagged her tail and ran straight towards Jiang Nuanzhi.
He was familiar with Xie Liangchen, but he ignored him and instead used his brain to get closer, wanting to lick Jiang Nuanzhi.
Jiang Nuanzhi pushed its large, horse-like face away, squinting at it. It seemed to have lost a lot of weight since leaving the house, and its body was scratched and injured. Jiang Nuanzhi frowned: "Then wait a bit, I'll treat your wounds when we get home."
Whether Xiaoli understood or not, she wagged her tail, held her head high, and was about to walk forward when Jiang Nuanzhi hurriedly stopped her.
Just then, they heard Liu Ma casually say from behind, "Hey, the child's father is back."
Jiang Nuanzhi: "..."
He couldn't help but twitch his lips, realizing that Aunt Liu was using a double entendre.
After settling Xiaoli in, he went back to wash his hands and then said to Xie Liangchen as he went out, "Give me your hand."
Xie Liangchen's cool and aloof expression held a hint of strangeness. He handed his hand to Jiang Nuanzhi, but couldn't help glancing in the direction Li Rong had left. After a long while, he said, "He seems to be doing quite well now."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuanzhi looked up at Xie Liangchen but remained silent.
"Does this mean he doesn't want you anymore?" Afu, who was standing next to her, didn't hold back and asked directly. He was still holding the shovel in his hand, not having time to put it down, and stared intently at Jiang Nuanzhi, as if afraid of missing any of her expressions.
While Jiang Nuanzhi was concentrating on burning the silver needles, she kept her eyes down and remained silent.
Afu glanced over there and couldn't help but whisper, "He's got so many guards with him, he looks pretty impressive. But he's quite skilled, could it be that he really went to the camp and made a name for himself? That's how they write it in the stories."
Then, he glanced at Jiang Nuanzhi with a sigh: "Tch, once he becomes successful, he doesn't want his guilty wife anymore. Well, it's true, buying a guilty wife isn't exactly a glorious thing."
"Afu!" Xie Liangchen frowned and scolded, "Don't say such nonsense, it's just annoying."
Afu barely managed to shut his mouth, but then his eyes lit up, and he still said, "One last thing, Jiang Pangya, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. In this world, not all men are like our young master. No matter what, our young master has never forgotten you. He's always given you food, no matter what."
Jiang Nuanzhi narrowed her eyes slightly. Her long, narrow phoenix eyes lifted slightly, and her gaze fell coolly on Afu.
Afu wasn't afraid of Xie Liangchen, but he was afraid of Jiang Nuanzhi. He immediately became like a quail and dared not say another word.
"Anuan, don't take it to heart." Xie Liangchen's gaze fell on Jiang Nuanzhi's slender neck, and then at the way her delicate, fair hand covered his. His tone carried a gentleness that he himself barely noticed: "Don't be sad. There was nothing between you two to begin with. He just spent ten taels of silver to buy you. I'll make up for that ten taels. If you want, the place you used to live is still your home."
At this point, a suspicious blush appeared on his face. He avoided looking at her and said softly, "After the New Year, I'll have my junior exams. Things will definitely be much better than they are now."
Hearing this, Jiang Nuanzhi was so startled that she immediately let go of Xie Liangchen's hand. Just as her brows furrowed tightly, she heard a voice filled with extreme joy!
"General, he's my general!"
