Chapter 236
Even though he was standing right in front of Rong Rong, Lu Youning still couldn't believe that Rong Rong had really appeared.
He thought he was still dreaming, just like every year before, just like when Zheng Meimei barged into the house.
Even after he blinked repeatedly, Rong Rong did not disappear. He tentatively reached out and slowly placed his hand on Rong Rong's shoulder.
The real touch instantly brought tears to his eyes. He pulled her into his arms tightly, his throat bobbing as he finally called out, "Rong Rong."
His voice choked with emotion as he felt the soft fullness in his arms, calling out again and again, "Rong Rong, is it really you? Is it really you?"
Lu Youning's joy and caution made Rong Rong feel a little uncomfortable. In her memory, Lu Youning had always been a calm and strong person.
Lu Youning was introverted, and Rong Rong had never seen him express his emotions so openly. Even when they got engaged, Lu Youning was very silent, and at that time she thought that Lu Youning didn't like her that much.
Rong Rong sighed softly and gently wrapped her arms around Lu Youning's waist. "Brother Youning, it really is me."
Her voice was sweet and soft, which soothed Lu Youning's unease.
In fact, Rong Rong had already separated herself from the world.
But she was entrusted by Heaven to take on a special mission and return to save Lu Youning.
She never imagined that Lu Youning, alone in the Northwest, would disregard his health and safety, recklessly ruining his body, and die of illness in his prime.
His death plunged Dafeng back into war.
Therefore, the Heavenly Dao approached Rong Rong, wanting her to save Lu Youning, and offered her a high amount of points.
Rong Rong agreed without much hesitation. Even without points, she was willing to help Lu Youning. How could she bear to let her doting older brother suffer such a painful life in his later years?
Feeling Rong Rong's response, Lu Youning was instantly overwhelmed with immense joy.
He held Rong Rong tightly, reluctant to let go, but said to the old butler, "Have everyone leave."
The old steward had already realized what had happened. His eyes showed surprise, but even more so, joy. "That kind of beating?"
"Get out of here!"
Lu Youning's happiness was obvious, and even his words became much gentler.
The old housekeeper put on a smile as bright as a chrysanthemum and quickly arranged for people to clear the area, moving Jiao Xiongfei, Zheng Meimei, and the others away from Lu Youning's courtyard.
When Jiao Xiongfei and the others were almost at the gate of the General's Mansion, they realized that they had been saved!
Regardless of whether the 100 lashes continue, if the punishment is split into two sessions after the interruption, they can catch their breath and get through it!
The joy of escaping death brought Jiao Xiongfei and the others to tears, and as they cried, they repeatedly expressed their gratitude to Rong Rong.
They knew that it was thanks to the other side's appearance that the general's anger was appeased, and that he couldn't spare them any attention, which allowed them to survive.
At this moment, in their hearts, Rong Rong was a true fairy, not only dazzlingly beautiful but also miraculously saving their lives.
Jiao Xiongfei thought and thought and finally couldn't help but ask the old butler, "Who is that young lady? How could she have such a big influence on their general? How could she make the general lose his composure like that?"
The old butler smiled and answered in a very good mood, "She was the general's former fiancée."
What?
Jiao Xiongfei's eyes widened into two copper bells.
The general's fiancée is still alive? And they managed to find her? Still so young? So beautiful?
The general had assumed that his fiancée was either dead or married to someone else because they hadn't gotten together, but what he had just seen clearly showed that she was still unmarried.
So why didn't the two of them end up together?
Furthermore, she was so beautiful; no wonder their general couldn't forget her.
Thinking of this, Jiao Xiongfei felt even more like crying. If he had known earlier that the general's fiancée was so beautiful, he would never have thought of arranging for the general to marry another woman.
Anyone who has ever had a fiancée like that would never be interested in anyone else!
Jiao Xiongfei and the others fell completely silent, and they obediently allowed themselves to be taken back to the military camp to recover from their injuries.
Zheng Meimei also became much quieter. She wondered why the history books never mentioned that Lord Rong, Rong Rong, was a stunningly beautiful woman.
Among the Four Beauties of ancient China, no one can compare to her, right?
No, the ministers of the Dafeng Empress's court, were you really tight-lipped? And the historians too!
At this moment, the furious Zheng Meimei seemed to have forgotten that she originally wanted to pursue Lu Youning.
Who would have thought? From another perspective, a great beauty can also be a good cure for being love-struck!
After Rong Rong and Lu Youning were left alone in the courtyard.
Lu Youning was still muttering to himself, wondering if he was dreaming.
Rong Rong chuckled and repeatedly assured him that it really was her, which finally calmed Lu Youning down. He lowered his head and grinned foolishly at the person in his arms.
Years of fighting on the battlefield have made Lu Youning even more resolute and tough.
The wind and sand of the Northwest have tanned his skin to a sexy color.
The once scholarly general has transformed into a tough and resolute man.
A strong sense of male hormones wafts over you.
Even Lu Youning seemed to be radiating heat.
Rong Rong leaned against Lu Youning's firm and sexy chest, her face blushing slightly.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Youning finally let go of her hand. "I'm sorry, I offended you."
Lu Youning reverted to his usual demeanor, a calm and reserved general suppressing his desires and emotions, which, in Rong Rong's eyes, made him even more captivating.
Rong Rong suddenly had a wicked idea. She deliberately frowned and said angrily, "Brother Youning should be punished for doing something wrong!"
Lu Youning immediately panicked, feeling that he had angered Rong Rong, who had finally come over.
Amidst panic and self-blame, there was also pain and suffocation.
Rong Rong indeed refused to accept him or his touch.
"I'm sorry, it was my fault!" Lu Youning apologized in a hoarse voice.
He was filled with sadness and pain.
He lowered his head unconsciously, as if afraid to see the disgust on Rong Rong's face.
Rong Rong's soft yet angry voice came from in front of him.
"I'll be punished... I also offended Brother Youning!"
Before Lu Youning could even react, he felt a petite body in his arms.
The other person's soft little hand rested on his chest, and even playfully pressed it a few times.
Lu Youning's mind went blank for a moment, and he was completely stunned.
What does Rong Rong mean?
A guess quietly emerged, but Lu Youning dared not believe it.
However, his heart began to beat faster and his body temperature began to rise.
"Is Brother Youning angry?" Rong Rong tilted her head back, her bright, watery eyes filled with a gentle smile, and the way she tilted her head slightly made her look like a cute and delicate elf.
Lu Youning swallowed nervously, his words becoming stammered, "No, no, I..."
"No, the punishment wasn't enough, I'll punish them again!"
Rong Rong suddenly tiptoed and quickly kissed Lu Youning's lips.
Lu Youning had no idea how adorable his clumsy and silly appearance was.
Rong Rong waited with a wicked smile to see Lu Youning's reaction; she could feel that Lu Youning's body had stiffened to the extreme.
However, the helpless look she had imagined did not appear.
Suddenly, Lu Youning leaned down and pressed his lips deeply against Rong Rong's delicate and alluring red lips.
