"Duke’s daughter." Ji Lingkong’s eyebrows furrowed, filled with astonishnt at her warm concern; it was truly odd. Unlike those infatuated noblewon who pursued him tirelessly, Lie Fengzi was smart, knew how to retreat gracefully, and had a sense of proper conduct.
She was a woman with pride and dignity, not overly proactive or passionate. What happened today? Her attitude was so intimate; she seed to regard him as her boyfriend, making the atmosphere ambiguous.
However, she hadn’t done anything excessive, so he smiled lightly.
"Thank you for your concern, but I’m fine, and you don’t need to waste Miss Lie’s ti."
"It’s not a waste at all. As long as Young Master Ling Kong you recover quickly, I can be at ease." Despite his distant tone, Lie Fengzi didn’t mind, continuing to smile warmly and kindly. "You made this sacrifice for the country; such a hero deserves everyone’s respect. I truly admire you."
Her eyes sparkled with admiration and adoration; any man being looked at with such worshipful gaze by a beautiful woman would feel elated, his vanity imnsely satisfied.
Ji Lingkong raised a brow and smiled, "I’m not as impressive as the Duke’s daughter says; I dare not bear the title of hero."
What hero, indeed. He did not go to the battlefield to be a hero. He didn’t engage in such noble acts for the country and people. What he considered was leveraging this war to achieve military achievents beneficial to his career and reputation.
"Why are you two being so polite, really? There’s no outsider here, why be shy?" The councilman’s wife laughed, knowing full well they admired each other, yet remained so courteous. But perhaps it’s because they’re both new to romance, hence the shyness. "Ling Kong, you do know that living through this ordeal was all thanks to Fengzi risking her life to save you. You ought to express your gratitude properly."
"I was rescued by the Duke’s daughter?" Ji Lingkong’s pupils widened, his heart shook, utterly surprised.
"Yes, she braved many hardships to reach the frontline and save you. Otherwise, you might still be in uncertainty now." The councilman’s wife looked at Lie Fengzi with great gratitude, growing increasingly satisfied. This Duke’s daughter was indeed extraordinary, wholly different from those pampered and delicate noblewon who only knew how to act coy.
Beautiful, intelligent, and diligent, she got admitted into the Imperial Institute of Technology, difficult even for n, a highly renowned talent. What’s more, she had courage and wisdom, daring enough to rush to the battlefield and rescue Ling Kong.
This kind of courage and strength wasn’t possessed by ordinary girls, truly an outstanding heroine among won.
Only such a person was worthy of Ling Kong.
"Hmph, those in the military opposing your father’s political views clearly didn’t want to dispatch anyone to rescue you. If it weren’t for Fengzi taking this risk and sparing no expense to rescue you, the consequences would be unimaginable. Fengzi devoted herself wholeheartedly to you; you must repay her properly."
Lie Fengzi showed a hint of embarrassnt, shyly saying, "Councilman’s wife, please don’t praise like this. I’m just doing my best, and it’s nothing worth ntioning. There’s no need for gratitude; I’m rely doing what I wanted to do. Seeing on TV that Young Master Ling Kong was missing made extrely anxious. The military was too excessive, so I decided to co back, organize a search party, and search privately."
