Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

A Ming stepped forward quickly, reached out and gave a light push, and that door slowly swung open.

Standing behind the door was, surprisingly, the shop waiter. He was seen wearing a smile, carefully carrying several plates of steaming hot dishes, walking slowly into the room.

"Honored guests, sorry to have kept you waiting!" the shop waiter said enthusiastically with a beaming smile, "These are all our shop's signature dishes, the taste is absolutely top-notch, do have a taste." Having spoken, he steadily placed the plates in his hands onto the table.

With the arrival of the shop waiter, the originally somewhat heavy atmosphere was instantly broken. Everyone's attention was drawn to those few plates of dishes that excelled in color, aroma, and flavor, and for a moment, a faint fragrance of food permeated the room.

Qianqian's eyes were sharp and hands quick; with one glance she spotted among them a dish that Yan Wang loved to eat most.

She hurriedly picked up her chopsticks, picked up a piece of tender meat, placed it into Yan Wang's bowl, and while doing so muttered: "Si Ge, you've surely had a hard time this period, you've even lost weight! Eat more, when we go back, if Mother sees you've lost weight, she'll be so heartbroken!"

Hearing Qianqian's words, the anger in Yan Wang's heart subsided slightly. He looked at the food in his bowl, then looked at Qianqian's appearance of carefully trying to please him, and for a moment actually didn't know what to say, merely eating the food silently.

Seeing that Yan Wang did not refuse the food she had picked for him, Qianqian's heart instantly let out a breath of relief. She understood, although Yan Wang was still angry on the surface, in his heart he still cared about her very much. Moreover, when it came down to it, this matter was indeed somewhat her fault.

After the shop waiter withdrew, Qianqian was even more attentive in picking dishes for Yan Wang, as if wanting to convey all her apology to him through each and every chopstick of food.

And Yan Wang, he did not refuse Qianqian's kindness either, merely eating silently, occasionally raising his head to glance at Qianqian.

After a while, seeing that Qianqian only kept picking dishes for him but hadn't eaten a single bite herself, Yan Wang spoke up: "You eat too, don't just keep picking dishes for me."

Hearing him say this, Qianqian also understood in her heart that his anger had mostly dissipated, so she answered and began to eat heartily.

These past few days of life on the run, she indeed hadn't had a proper meal; now seeing a table full of delicious dishes, she only felt the aroma assaulting her nose, making her mouth water. She couldn't care about any image, like a starving tiger pouncing on food, she wolfed it down.

Yan Wang watched Qianqian's eating style of sweeping away the remnants like a storm, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but curve up slightly. He himself had also eaten about enough, so he set down his chopsticks and quietly watched Qianqian eat. However, his thoughts had long since drifted to the ninth heaven, who knows what he was thinking about.

After a good long while, Yan Wang only then slowly came back to his senses, and said to Qianqian: "There's likely still war here, a girl's family is ultimately rather inconvenient. Once you've eaten your fill, go rest, then hurry back.

In the future don't run off recklessly again; earning money is important, but you must have the life to spend it. No amount of money compares to your life being important."

Qianqian was chewing food in her mouth, hearing Yan Wang's words, she hurriedly nodded obediently, indicating she understood. Yan Wang thought for a moment, then continued: "In the letter you left for Mother, did it say you went to assassinate the Prince of Li?"

Qianqian swallowed the food in her mouth, hurriedly replied: "No no, I only said I went to complete a small task, would be back in a few days, told her not to worry."

Yan Wang looked at her, helplessly shook his head, and said: "Your task is really not small! Next time don't be so impulsive, you must consider the consequences clearly in all things."

After you go back, you must absolutely not tell Mother about this matter; just say you went on an escort trip, because the goods were rather precious, you weren't at ease, so you personally escorted them for a trip.

Hearing this, Qianqian felt relieved of a heavy burden, hurriedly nodded in agreement. In her heart she secretly sighed with emotion, Si Ge is really too thoughtful, he even thought up an excuse for her.

However, Qianqian still couldn't help but speak up: "Si Ge, tomorrow I want to rest for a day, stroll around Yu Zhou a bit before returning.

These past few days have really been too tiring, I want to relax properly." Seeing this, Yan Wang pondered briefly then nodded, saying: "Mm, that works too."

Then, Yan Wang turned his head to look at A Ming beside him, and instructed: "A Ming, tomorrow you go with Qianqian for a trip, you must send her home safely." A Ming replied respectfully: "Yes, Young Master."

However, Qianqian hurriedly waved her hand, saying: "Si Ge, no need, I have Shiyi and Shi Er with me, they'll protect me, it's very safe."

Yan Wang smiled slightly, explained: "The day after tomorrow I have to go to war, I really can't spare time to send you. Having A Ming send you back, only then can I be at ease. After he sends you home, have him come back and tell me, then my heart will also be more at ease."

Hearing this, Qianqian hesitated a moment, finally still nodded, saying: "Alright then, Si Ge. But you yourself on the battlefield must also be more careful, it's so dangerous there, you must definitely win the battle soon and return safely. We'll all be waiting for you at home."

Yan Wang's heart warmed, he nodded, responded: "Mm, I will. You also don't tire yourself out too much, rest early."

Having spoken, he glanced at the time, felt it was already very late, then stood up and said: "It's not early, I'll return to my room first. After you finish eating, hurry and tidy up, go to sleep early."

Qianqian at this time had also finished dinner, and said contentedly: "Okay."

She smiled as she watched Yan Wang walk out the door; after Yan Wang's figure disappeared outside the door, Qianqian immediately turned to instruct A Ming: "A Ming, quickly go have the waiter prepare a tub of hot water for me, I want to bathe." A Ming heard this, hurriedly acknowledged, turned and left in a rush, going to arrange it per Qianqian's instructions.

After Qianqian finished dinner, she rested a bit, then saw A Ming leading the waiter bringing a tub of steaming hot water into the room. She looked at that tub of hot water with satisfaction, and in a cheerful mood began to bathe.

After bathing finished, Qianqian changed into clean clothes, feeling refreshed all over, fatigue completely gone. She climbed onto the bed, lay down comfortably, and before long entered a sweet dreamland.

Next morning, sunlight passed through the window and sprinkled into the room, illuminating Qianqian still fast asleep. Yan Wang originally planned to come bid farewell to Qianqian, but when he arrived at the doorway and asked Shiyi who was guarding the door, he learned that Qianqian had not yet woken.

Yan Wang pondered slightly, then immediately instructed Shiyi: "I'm leaving now, no need to wake Qianqian, let her sleep peacefully. After she wakes, you must send her home safe and sound."

Shiyi heard this, hurriedly cupped fists and replied: "Subordinate obeys, swear to protect Master to the death!" Yan Wang nodded in satisfaction, then turned and left, riding his beloved horse Zhui Ying, like a gust of wind he galloped away, returning to the military camp.

However, just as Yan Wang had just arrived at the military camp, a mysterious figure quietly walked up to Shiyi.
