846: Chapter 848 Bridal Gifts (1) 846: Chapter 848 Bridal Gifts (1) As she was almost at her own tent, a familiar figure appeared in front of him.
Nangong Yi suddenly stopped walking, and his handso face imdiately darkened.
He coldly looked at Helana and said, “Why haven’t you left yet?”
Helana tugged at the corners of her mouth, a bitter taste welling up in her heart.
She wasn’t foolish—she could see the man’s indifference and perfunctory attitude, but she was powerless to resist; her love for him had seeped deep into her bone marrow.
Even though she knew he despised her, she still couldn’t control her desire to be close to him, to see him.
For him, dignity no longer mattered!
“King Qin, the road isn’t safe, so I thought I might return with the army!”
She dared not say she wanted to go back with him, but rather with the army.
Otherwise, knowing the man as she did, he would surely refuse her outright.
Having known him for seven or eight years, she had spent every day studying his temperant, so she knew exactly what to say to avoid rejection.
As she anticipated, Nangong Yi hesitated for a mont before grudgingly agreeing.
Though he disliked her following his army, she was, after all, the Princess of the Xianbei Empire, the cherished pearl of the Xianbei King and Queen.
If sothing were to happen to her on the journey due to his refusal, the King and Queen of Xianbei would surely harbor ill will towards Great Jin, potentially igniting war between the two nations.
If that happened, he would beco the eternal sinner of Great Jin!
Upon hearing Nangong Yi’s consent, Helana’s heart blossod with joy.
The journey from ng slaves to the Capital of Great Jin was long; even if they hurried, it would take over a month at the quickest.
She would have more than a month to be with him, and in such a long ti, she was sure to find an opportunity!
In Space, Cai Wei used the flour produced there, and at from finely sliced sea snails and scallops, along with tender baby bok choy, to create a seafood pearl soup that was both visually appealing and delicious.
The bowl, white and green, was pleasing to both the eye and the nose, enough to make anyone drool.
Having prepared breakfast and with the man not yet returned, Cai Wei, with nothing else to do, stepped out of her tent to look for him.
Zhui Feng and Zhu Yue, seeing Cai Wei erge, dutifully followed behind her.
The Master had ordered that, unless he was by her side, they must stick close and protect her at all tis, even though she did not need it!
After walking for a while, Cai Wei stopped.
Not far ahead, she saw her man and Princess Helana standing, both facing sideways and seemingly conversing about sothing.
One displayed a cold and aloof expression, the other, an eager and affectionate deanor.
Any woman would feel displeased to see another woman stubbornly clinging to her future husband.
Cai Wei’s face fell, and before she could say anything, a pitiful voice ca from Helana.
“King Qin, may I visit Princess An Le?
I feel too lonely here all by myself, and I want soone to talk to…”
Cai Wei raised an eyebrow.
She did not believe that there was any affection between herself and Helana, nor was there anything to talk about.
If they had to talk, it would only be to argue over this man, and she had no interest in engaging in such a pointless matter.
Nangong Yi, as if telepathically in tune with her thoughts, unhesitatingly refused her request.
