Chapter 316: Chapter 316: Will You Miss Me (3)_1

Xiao Ruiyuan’s face couldn’t quite hide his disappointment. Did she really not understand, or was she using evasion to reject his feelings?

Gradually releasing the wrist in his palm, his face regained its usual indifference, but his deep gaze was still firmly fixed on the girl before him, "To the frontier."

The frontier? Mo Yan’s heart tightened! Indeed, with the urgent war situation at the border, it made sense for him, a General with distinguished military achievements in Great Chu, to be deployed there. However, the battlefield was ruthless and unpredictable, too dangerous!

Unconsciously worrying, a trace of anxiety showed on her face.

Xiao Ruiyuan’s eyes brightened as the original sense of loss was diluted by her concern, "Are you worried about me?"

Feeling the heat of his intense gaze, Mo Yan nodded slightly stiffly, forcing a smile at the corners of her mouth, "You are my friend, so of course I’m worried about you! I don’t understand the matters of the battlefield, but I hope you can return safely."

No sooner had the words left her mouth than her wrist was tightly grasped again; the voice from above seemed to carry frost with it, "Then will you miss me?"

Why this question again?

Mo Yan was on the verge of tears. If she could, she would’ve liked to roll her eyes at him and shout "No"! But she didn’t have the courage, fearing that before she could finish saying the words, her wrist might be broken by him—it was already nearly there!

She dared not say ’no’, nor did she dare to say ’yes’. But she knew if she didn’t come up with an answer today, this man might keep asking forever. Racking her brain for how to respond, she finally found a way.

"Well, I don’t know if I will! Bro Xiao, you’re still standing in front of me, I can’t imagine missing you after you’ve gone!"

That answer should satisfy him, right? Mo Yan mentally applauded her own cleverness!

Watching her cautious behavior, Xiao Ruiyuan closed his eyes and finally released his hold on her. He ultimately couldn’t bear to see her distressed.

With her wrist freed, Mo Yan instinctively placed her other hand over it to rub gently, sneaking a glance to see several red finger marks had appeared.

Xiao Ruiyuan noticed as well, his eyes filled with regret. Just as he was about to grasp her wrist to check for injuries, ’swoosh’, she quickly hid her wrist behind her back, watching him with wary eyes.

Xiao Ruiyuan: "..."

Mo Yan: "..."

Long after Xiao Ruiyuan had left the Mo Family, Mo Yan was still in a daze, his chilling, threatening voice echoing in her ears:

Don’t agree to an engagement before I return, do you understand? Even if your father forces you, it’s not allowed!

You are still young, don’t accept any man’s courtesies. They surely have no good intentions!

This Harrier has been trained by me to deliver messages, and now I give it to you. Remember to write to me!

...

He said so much about various matters, and for the first time, Mo Yan realized that man also had the potential to be a chatterbox! She grabbed the Harrier perched on her shoulder, poking its head with her finger, not too gently or too harshly, "If I pluck your feathers and stew you in soup, and then tell your master that you died of an illness and couldn’t deliver messages, would he believe me?"

The Harrier opened its beak and pecked hard at her soft fingertip, letting out a sharp cry, as if mocking her foolishness!

Mo Yan almost burst into tears from the pain, looking at her swollen, reddened fingertip and glaring at the Harrier, wishing she could immediately pluck all its feathers and then gut it for a braised feast in the kitchen!

Xiao Ruiyuan, galloping straight toward Jingshan Villa, had no idea that Mo Yan was contemplating consuming his carefully reared Harrier. He was even imagining what the girl of his affections might write in her letters.
