Just like the rumors say, this man has no self-control. When he's drunk, he'll say anything. Hua Cai, who hadn't touched a drop of alcohol, asked him about Xu Yingxiong's ancestors for eighteen generations.
Even if Yue Chen was slow to realize something was wrong, he was still a member of the royal family. Hua Cai was overjoyed, but Yue Chen's sudden question caused her to let slip the truth, which stirred up a hornet's nest. Yue Chen immediately abandoned her and returned to the Yue camp.
A month has passed, and Yue Chen grits her teeth and no matter how much Hua Cai begs and pleads, she never gives her a kind look. The expensive white shirt that Hua Cai carefully selected was also torn into several pieces and thrown to her.
This man is so damn hard to appease when he throws a tantrum.
Hua Cai gritted her teeth.
Hua Cai slammed the teapot on the table and glared at Yue Chen: "Hey, it's been a month, shouldn't you calm down? You're sacrificing yourself for the Yue Kingdom, it's glorious and great, how can you be so petty?"
As she spoke, Hua Cai reached out to tug at Yue Chen's sleeve, but he nimbly dodged her.
"Really? Well, thank you so much." A cold gaze swept across Hua Cai's face, and she felt as if her own face was about to freeze.
Setting down his teacup, Yue Chen seemed unwilling to linger. He flicked his sleeve and walked out of the tent. He had only taken two steps when the tent flap was lifted, and a young general in armor entered. Upon seeing Yue Chen, he was slightly taken aback. After bowing respectfully, he turned to Hua Cai and said, "Reporting to the general, there is a person in front of the camp requesting an audience. He says he is a friend of the general and also a relative of Manager Chen."
Her friend? Manager Chen's relative?
Chen Yongchang?
That person—
Hua Cai instantly thought of someone, and the temperature around her suddenly dropped.
That person is indeed Chen Yongchang's relative, but when did they become friends?
Well—given that person's thick skin, claiming to be his friend and patting himself on the back is a piece of cake for him.
"You—you go out first, I'll go see him in a bit." Hua Cai coughed lightly, dismissing the messenger, then turned to Yue Chen: "Um—"
Upon hearing the messenger's words, Yue Chen's expression turned terrifying. He snorted coldly, completely ignoring Hua Cai, and walked out with a murderous aura.
"Wait!" Hua Cai quickly stopped her. "Now is not the time to turn against Chen Yongchang. We must not kill that man."
Yue Chen stopped and didn't answer, as if the whole event had frozen in time.
"Well—okay, I'm sorry about this, but you've been causing me trouble for three years, and I haven't been angry with you at all." Hua Cai pouted, feeling that this person was so unreasonable. How come only he was the one who had wronged her?
Without saying a word, Yue Chen still maintained a "keep away" attitude, which made Hua Cai feel suffocated. She was thinking about whether to let him out. If he really killed Xu Yingxiong, she would find a reason to frame him. One person like him wouldn't affect the relationship between Yue and Liang. It was just a pity about those warhorses. She would have to go through some trouble to deal with Li.
But just as she had made her plans, Yue Chen suddenly spoke, staring at her thoughtfully: "You want me to forgive you?"
Hua Cai's eyes lit up. This was the only time Yue Chen had spoken to her in a normal tone in the past month. She quickly nodded and said, "Just tell me your conditions. I will do whatever I can to help you."
"Fine." Yue Chen slightly curled the corners of his lips, sending a chill down Hua Cai's spine. "Let me kill you."
Crack—The teapot in her hand shattered. Hua Cai casually tossed the shards aside and glared angrily at Yue Chen's expressionless face: "Hey, this is no joke. These are the conditions you promised."
Is this person stupid? They have no grudge against her, so why are they so determined to kill her?
"Fine, I'll kill you after I get my revenge. Are you out of your mind? Why do you have to keep targeting me, a hardworking and kind person? Are you out of your mind?" Hua Cai roared, feeling a surge of resentment and grievance as she thought about her life over the past three years.
There was this madwoman who suddenly developed an irreconcilable hatred for me. No matter how you repay evil with kindness, you can't extinguish the murderous intent in her heart. What sins did she commit?
She angrily shook off Yue Chen's hand, sniffed, and said, "You are such an annoying person."
Hua Cai turned her head, walked out of the tent, and headed towards the front of the military camp.
She was hated for three years by someone who harbored murderous intent towards her for no reason. She was not a saint and did not have the kind of heart to repay evil with kindness forever. Three years had long since worn away her patience.
She was just a mission taker, a passerby in this world. What did it matter how a nobody in a mission world viewed her?
Hua Cai suddenly felt annoyed and just wanted to finish her mission in this world as soon as possible and leave.
Before she had taken two steps, Hua Cai felt a tightness in her hand, and Yue Chen's voice came from behind her: "Of course, there can be other conditions as well."
Yue Chen tightened his grip on Hua Cai's wrist slightly, his voice trembling without him even realizing it.
Why did her silhouette just now terrify him so much?
"No need. I think the conditions are good enough. It's just a life. If you want it, take it. Let go." Hua Cai sneered, tightening her grip, but surprisingly, she couldn't shake him off.
Yue Chen tightened his grip and suddenly pulled Hua Cai toward the front of the military camp: "No, I suddenly feel that the conditions are not good enough. I have a better idea."
What's wrong with this guy? He keeps changing his mind. Hua Cai was almost amused by Yue Chen. He pulled her a few steps away before she realized what was happening and struggled to let go. "Let go! I can walk by myself. Go wherever you want. I'm not going to serve you. Let go of me. I'm giving you face before Da Jun, don't force me to take action."
Hua Cai's threat caused Yue Chen to pause in his steps.
Hmph, it's good that you know fear.
Hua Cai sneered inwardly, thinking that Yue Chen had been reminded of her and was wise enough to let go. Just as she was about to walk away, she suddenly felt her hand tighten.
Yue Chen pulled out a short rope from somewhere and quickly wrapped it around the wrists of the two of them before Hua Cai could react.
"You—you're asking for it! Untie the rope!" Hua Cai looked angrily at the two hands that were tightly bound together, and reached out with her free hand to untie them.
Yue Chen casually blocked with his other hand, easily stopping the rope: "Don't struggle. This rope is specially made. You can't break it. With me here, you can't untie it either. Now, come with me to see that bear. I will untie it for you then."
Hua Cai thought Yue Chen was talking nonsense and, unwilling to give up, went to untie the rope again. Yue Chen didn't say anything, but simply stopped her every move.
