Chapter 1597 Sultry

Taking a deep breath, Long Qian Xing raised his hand and patted Nan Hua\'s head. Her hair was a bit damp, clearly she had just taken a bath not long before he came.

The thought of Nan Hua taking a bath just made Long Qian Xing\'s body even hotter.

He felt that he really couldn\'t control his thoughts now.

"I\'ll ask Long Ai Ning to prepare different sweets and ask for your opinion tomorrow," Long Qian Xing said, suppressing his desire.

Nan Hua looked at Long Qian Xing and silently suppressing her smile while turning her attention to the cookie in front of her. She clearly felt danger when she saw Long Qian Xing\'s gaze just now.

It felt as if she was facing a beast that was about to go out of control.

Not wanting to cause more troubles, Nan Hua also stopped trying to tease Long Qian Xing and focus on biting the cookie in her hand.

Small bites, one bite at a time.

Long Qian Xing watched Nan Hua ate the cookie like a rabbit and silently felt that he was really tortured today. He didn\'t even know why, but he felt that each and every move of Nan Hua was simply a torture to his soul.

She might not know how tempting she was right now.

Not to mention, Nan Hua is already 18 years old and in Long Qian Xing\'s eyes, she\'s already a legal adult.

Previously, he could still hold on when he thought that she was just a kid. Even if there were some thoughts that might not be suitable, it could be suppressed when he thought of her age.

But now…

He really felt that he was playing with fire.

\'I shouldn\'t pay a visit to her in the middle of the night.\'

The temptation was simply too great.

"Brother Long," Nan Hua called out and glanced outside, "My grandfather is coming."

Long Qian Xing\'s expression turned serious and quickly stood up. When he came here, he purposely picked the time when Old Master Nan was paying a visit to Prime Minister Lan. Now that Old Master Nan was coming back, he could only leave quietly.

If he was found sneaking into his granddaughter\'s tent, he could estimate that he might have to go back on a carriage because of a broken leg.

"I\'ll be going now, Hua\'er." Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Hua and smiled faintly. "I\'ll come back tomorrow."

"Yes, Brother Long."

Nan Hua watched as Long Qian Xing slipped away. She waited a few more seconds before Old Master Nan came and stopped in front of her tent.

"Grandfather, what brings you here?" Nan Hua asked in a calm tone.

"I\'m checking on you." Old Master Nan snorted.

He was called by Prime Minister Lan to talk about some annoying kingdom\'s matter that he didn\'t want to see at all. However, he knew that he still had to play some roles, so he listened to it.

On the way, he passed by Long Qian Xing\'s area and noticed that the young man was missing. Thinking of his relationship with his granddaughter, he decided to come to check.

It was fine for them to spend some time on the day.

But at night?

Sorry, he had to come forward first to make sure that they would not do anything!

They were not married yet and Old Master Nan felt that he was obliged to protect his granddaughter.

Nan Hua\'s eyes were filled with helpless look. "I\'m fine. You should go and rest, Grandfather. It has been a tiring journey."

Old Master Nan snorted but he still agreed and left after exhorting Nan Hua that it was important for her to protect herself and know proportion.

Sitting inside her tent, Nan Hua shook her head and looked at the cookies in front of her. She took one of them and ate it slowly while thinking about what return gift should she prepare for Long Qian Xing.

How about medicinal scent bag?

She could make one.

\'He has trouble sleeping and there are also…\'

That night, Nan Hua spent her time organizing the few medicinal herbs and their properties to figure out which one was the most suitable for Long Qian Xing.

…

For the next few days, Long Qian Xing will come to pay a visit to Nan Hua at night to bring new sweets. On the other hand, Nan Hua asked to check his pulse with the excuse of checking his health.

Of course, Long Qian Xing only stayed for a few minutes each time because he was worried a certain grandfather would come and break his legs.

He still wanted to survive.

…

<Feng Ao Si\'s side>

Before long, they reached the intersection with the road towards Sheng Village. There were already several commanders who had left and many other soldiers were returning to their hometown.

Feng Ao Si was looking at the road in front of him, feeling a bit unreal.

He walked on the familiar road alone since his soldiers didn\'t live here. Looking at the familiar village in front of him, Feng Ao Si felt melancholic. 

He\'s both happy yet also sad.

Happy to be able to back.

Sad because he come back after failure.

"First Young Commander Feng!"

"First Young Commander Feng is back!" 

"Qi Rou, your husband is here."

Feng Ao Si raised his head and saw his woman was carrying a basket filled with vegetables from the mountain. The corner of his lips twitched slightly, but there was also a warm light in his eyes.

Sheng Qi Rou heard the villagers talked about her husband and see Feng Ao Si on the road. Her eyes lit up and she ran towards him, dropping the vegetable basket and ran towards Feng Ao Si. The moment she reached her husband, she hugged him tightly.

"You\'re back!"

Feng Ao Si hugged Sheng Qi Rou and smiled. "En, I\'m back."
