Chapter 426 Cough cough, Ah Nuan, go wash up.
Of course, General Wan didn't dare say this in front of the two of them. At this moment, he forced a smile and said, "Doctor Jiang! Please eat more. If it's not enough, I'll have those boys go and buy some more."
She couldn't help but steal a glance at Jiang Nuanzhi's face, rubbed her hands together, and said, "Doctor Jiang, I didn't expect you to have lost so much weight! If the General hadn't told me you were here, I wouldn't have recognized you."
Jiang Nuan was taken aback. Her family had gotten used to her thinner appearance. In fact, Baozhu praised her beauty every day, but no one had mentioned that she had lost weight in a long time.
Her tense emotions eased a little, and she smiled and spread her hands: "How is it? Don't you look better after losing weight?"
General Wan nodded vigorously: "Beautiful, so beautiful! I thought you were some kind of fairy. If I had known, I would have made a golden statue of you in the current state! Everyone would definitely think that you are a real deity descended to earth."
General Wan grinned so wide he was practically showing his teeth, but the next second he met Li Rong's slightly sharp gaze. His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately pulled his big teeth back, clearing his throat in a serious manner. "Ahem, Physician Jiang, please eat something first. You must be hungry."
No one dislikes hearing pleasant things, and Jiang Nuanzhi was no exception. Her narrow eyes were filled with a smile. She glanced behind General Wan and immediately stood up in surprise: "Strategist Shen! You're here too! And Xiao Hu! I didn't expect to see you so soon! What are you all standing there for? Come on, let's eat together."
Strategist Shen's legs were numb from standing, and at this moment he almost cried tears of joy. Finally, Doctor Jiang saw him!
Having stood in the freezing snow for an hour, he now held a cup of hot tea poured for him by Jiang Nuanzhi, and was almost moved to tears of joy.
Jiang Nuanzhi looked at him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "What's wrong?"
When Shen Junshi glanced at Jiang Nuanzhi's beautiful, almost bewitching face, which was both unfamiliar and familiar to him, he was momentarily stunned.
He then glanced furtively at Li Rong, then at General Wan beside him, and grinned, saying, "It's been a long time since I've seen Doctor Jiang. Seeing you again makes me incredibly happy."
Jiang Nuanzhi couldn't help but smile and nod repeatedly: "Yes, I also miss Strategist Shen quite a bit. It's getting late today, so let's all go back and rest after dinner. We can catch up properly tomorrow."
The strategist grinned broadly, but the next second, for some reason, he sensed a murderous aura. He felt a chill run from his tailbone all the way to the back of his head. He suddenly looked up at Li Rong.
General Li simply lowered his eyes and peeled a piece of meat from the goose thigh, placing it on Doctor Jiang's plate, seemingly without even looking at him.
The military advisor scratched the back of his head, somewhat puzzled, and then smiled and said to Jiang Nuanzhi, "Then I'll bring some more good food to Doctor Jiang tomorrow."
As soon as he finished speaking, he met Li Rong's dark, inky eyes. The strategist's breath hitched, and that chill returned.
Fortunately, Li Rong didn't say a word and then turned his eyes away.
"OK!"
Jiang Nuanzhi didn't stand on ceremony and nodded in agreement: "Then I'll be in for a treat tomorrow."
She was indeed exhausted at the moment, so she quickly ate a bite of food, then said goodbye to General Wan and the others, and went to the guest room with Li Rong to rest.
Lord Lu has plenty of guest rooms, but since he and his wife are a married couple, only one large room has been prepared.
"Anuan, how about we sleep in the same room tonight? Don't worry, I'll sleep on the couch and won't disturb you."
Li Rong's ears turned red, and he coughed lightly with his fist clenched, seemingly casually saying that his eyes were uncontrollably fixed on Jiang Nuanzhi.
Seeing that Anuan remained silent, he swallowed hard, then said, "Well, the household is currently busy with the lady's affairs, so it's not good to bother you too much. I was just thinking of making do."
"good."
Before Li Rong could finish speaking, Jiang Nuanzhi suddenly nodded and then went into the room first.
After entering the room, Jiang Nuanzhi turned around and smiled at Li Rong, only to find Li Rong standing frozen at the door.
She then raised an eyebrow: "Why don't you come in? Don't worry, even if you bother me, I won't be angry."
Then, he grabbed his belt and pulled him straight into the house.
In a daze, Li Rong's face turned a deep purplish-red again, his dark eyes fixed on him.
"Should you wash first or should I?"
Jiang Nuan asked.
"Me, me, me"
"Okay, you go first."
Li Rong stared in disbelief as he watched Jiang Nuanzhi kick off her shoes and lie down on the ground.
"Go quickly, and call me when you're done washing."
Jiang Nuanzhi lay on the bed, propped her head up, and said with a smile, even winking at him twice.
Li Rong was stunned for a moment, then turned around and fled to the bathhouse as if running away.
Li Rong took an unusually long bath. He even used the lard soap given to him by Jiang Nuanzhi to wash his body three times to make sure he was clean and refreshed before finally stepping out of the bathtub.
After getting dressed, he took a deep breath before entering the room.
Ah Nuan, that's what she meant just now, right?
His Adam's apple bobbed three times again, and then he slowly pushed open the door.
"Ahem, Ah Nuan, go and wash up."
"Ah Nuan?"
"Ah Nuan?"
Li Rong called out several times, but the person lying on the bed did not move. He muttered an apology and went over to take a closer look. He saw that A Nuan was already fast asleep on the bed, with a red mark pressed on her cheek.
Li Rong: "."
He then let out a sigh of relief, unsure whether he felt relieved or somewhat disappointed. He simply took off her socks and coat, wrapped her tightly in a blanket, then wrapped himself in a cloak, found a spot under her bed, and lay down.
That night, I tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep for a long time.
In contrast, Jiang Nuanzhi was sleeping very soundly.
She seemed to be having a long dream.
In her dream, she spent her entire life as a veterinarian, wrote two books on the subject, and eventually became a leading figure in the field. Finally, she bought her own house and car, and adopted cats and dogs. But as time passed, her cats and dogs gradually passed away. She ultimately lived a solitary life.
When she groggily opened her eyes, a sprig of red plum blossom beside her bed was emitting a cool fragrance, its petals stained with traces of blood, yet blooming brilliantly. She was momentarily stunned.
"Anuan, you're awake. How are the red plum blossoms? I saw that the red plum blossoms outside the courtyard were in full bloom, so I picked a few branches for you."
Jiang Nuanzhi looked up and saw Li Rong carrying a food box and holding a red plum. She paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Hmm, he's awake."
Li Rong then put down the food box, placed a bunch of red plum blossoms into the vase, and then carried it to Jiang Nuanzhi. There was a vase of red plum blossoms on each side of the bed. He then asked softly, "Would you like to sleep a little longer? Or get up and wash?"
