Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

"You are the most shy." He lowered his head and looked carefully at the robe she was wearing, like an old friend he hadn't seen for many years, and smiled, "Aren't you ashamed lying on his bed like this now?"

She shook her head, but her face was flushed: "I am very happy."

"That's good." He suddenly looked at her seriously and said, "I hope you will always be happy."

A flash of light passed by, and his figure gradually began to blur. Anan stared at the direction where his figure disappeared and murmured, "Thank you..."

Suddenly waking up, it was just dawn. Anan sat up abruptly and looked around. Only then did she come to her senses. But when she turned around, she found that there was no one beside her. Her heart suddenly skipped a beat and it hurt badly.

She casually wrapped herself in an outer robe, without even putting on shoes, and hurried out of the house.

Bai Shao was taking a nap in the warm room outside the door. When she saw her rushing out, she was startled and hurried forward to ask, "What's wrong, girl?"

"Where's Hongze?" Anan was a little panicked. She could wait for him to come back obediently, but she didn't like him leaving without saying goodbye.

"My son-in-law is in the study!" Bai Shao was stunned for a moment. When she looked up, she saw more bruises on her neck. She couldn't help blushing and turned away to answer in a low voice.

After hearing this, Anan ran towards the study.

She ran very fast, but it also took her a long time. When she pushed the door open, panting, she saw him sitting at the desk, concentrating on reading documents. Only then did she feel relieved and looked at him with red eyes.

Seeing her coming, Hongze quickly put down the copy in his hand and asked, "Why are you here?"

Anan felt very aggrieved. He ran towards him and sat directly on his lap. He put his arms around his neck, buried his head in his shoulder, and whispered in his ear, "I thought you were gone..."

After sitting on his lap, her legs were hanging in the air. The only outer robe on her body could not block the view inside. A pair of snow-white legs were exposed, and her two little feet were dangling. He put his hands on them, and his legs and feet were all cold.

He frowned, stood up and took his cloak from the back, wrapped her up, and scolded her, "You are so old, but you are still so impetuous. It's so cold, and you are running around barefoot. What if you catch a cold?"

"You really need to change your temper. If I'm not at home, you should go back to your mother. Otherwise, who will take care of you?"

"Isn't Madam Su outside? Why doesn't she scold you?"

······

Anan curled up in his arms, watching him scold her while reaching into his cloak to warm her feet. Then she reached out to hold his face, kissed him hard on the lips, and said with a sweet smile, "But I miss you."

His face was always a healthy tan, and there was no sign of anything wrong, but Anan noticed that his ears had turned red. She was shocked to realize that he could also be shy. The strength of his big hands caressing her feet increased tenfold in an instant, and he even forgot to scold her for a moment.

Anan smiled and leaned over to kiss his lips, imitating him and tracing the shape of his lips with the tip of her tongue. He took the initiative of the kiss, holding her tongue, sucking and kissing it.

When Bai Shao and Nanny Su rushed over, they happened to see the couple kissing passionately.

Nanny Su felt her face turn red and then pale, and she quickly closed the study door.

She had originally decided to complain to Yuan Ruolan because of the loud noise in the house last night. However, now her master was doing business in the study, and her own girl got up and ran over to stay with him. She didn't look like she was suffering at all. On the contrary, her son-in-law, a diligent official, seemed to be bewitched by her own girl and even put aside the letter that was sent urgently last night.

She sighed, waved her hand at the blushing maids and said, "Go back! We don't need to serve you here anymore."
