"No?! Hah! I believed your bullshit!"
Yelyu Lie felt truly hurt.
When he saw the young girl pick up the knife to cut her wrist, he was so scared that his heart nearly stopped!
But thinking about the reason why she would treat herself like this, Yelyu Lie felt even more pain in his heart...
"Why do you hate me so much? If you hate me this much, why would you lower yourself to come to Bianliao and marry me?!"
His amber eyes were full of suppressed anger.
And even though he tried hard to hide it, the hurt was still caught by Yun Chunnuan.
He was so tall, like a small mountain in front of her, even if she raised her head, she couldn't reach his shoulder.
Yun Chunnuan had no doubt that with a bit of force, he could crush her wrist.
If it were yesterday, she might have been scared to death.
But at this moment, although her wrist was faintly in pain from his grip, she was not that afraid of this Barbarian General anymore.
If there is a misunderstanding, it needs to be resolved promptly.
Yun Chunnuan hated those TV plotlines where the misunderstanding could be clarified, but they just keep misunderstanding instead.
Even though she wasn't planning to spend her life with this barbarian, he had been kind to her.
She should express gratitude where gratitude is due, and apologies should not be omitted either.
"I'm sorry, General Yelyu, I misunderstood you. Thank you for last night, and I really like that small hand warmer."
Her tone was exceptionally sincere.
With a charming smile, the dimples at the corners of her lips ran deep and sweet, and there was no longer any trace of disdain on her youthful, radiant face.
Her eyes were clear and lively, and right now, they were staring at him unwaveringly.
Full of gratitude…
Yelyu Lie widened his eyes, a bit in disbelief at his own eyes.
"Did your fever not go down yet?"
His large hand that held her slender wrist relaxed slightly, afraid she might feel pain.
His other hand then reached for her forehead.
It was warm, but no longer feverish...
Yun Chunnuan smiled and brushed away his big hand, "It's all thanks to your careful care, General Yelyu. I'm fine now, no longer feverish! This morning... I'm really sorry, I misunderstood you."
Seeing that he didn't believe her, Yun Chunnuan admitted her fault once again, her tone even more sincere than before.
Understandably so, her attitude before truly was too repulsive towards him.
Other than being a womanizer, this guy was actually quite nice.
Though he appeared fierce, he was actually very considerate to the servants.
Handsome and kind, the most important thing is, he could stand firm and support her!
This practically aligned with all of Yun Chunnuan's fantasies of a boyfriend!
Unfortunately, so unfortunate, how did he end up as a womanizer?
Thinking about all his concubines gave Yun Chunnuan a headache!
If she couldn't return to her own world and really had to stay here, she definitely couldn't accept a husband with countless wives.
"Is this...really what you think?" Yelyu Lie looked suspicious, still not fully convinced, "Then why cut your wrist? Wasn't it because you loathed me?"
From the angle Yelyu Lie had just seen, he only saw her small hand making gestures in her palm, instinctively thinking she was looking for a place to make a lethal cut.
The only reason that could lead her to such thoughts of ending her life, couldn't it be because he held her the entire night?
This was Yelyu Lie's sole thought, thus he felt both angry and anxious, along with suffering.
He couldn't understand what he had done wrong to make her hate him to this extent, unwilling even to be held by him even in death!
"Cut my wrist?" Yun Chunnuan forced a laugh, "I just thought my nails were too long and wanted them shorter, you misunderstood."
"Nonsense!" Yelyu Lie pointed to the scissors on the table, "There's a pair of scissors, don't say you didn't see them!"
"Hey, I really didn't see them!" Yun Chunnuan turned and picked up the scissors, 'snipping' a small piece of her pinky nail.
Under his doubtful gaze, Yun Chunnuan's peripheral vision caught sight of the little white wolf under the cabinet.
Her eyes lit up, and she quickly changed the subject, "Um, can I have a pet?"
"Pet?" This new term puzzled Yelyu Lie.
Recalling what Qiao'er had said, Yun Chunnuan immediately added, "Like the big white cat at Aunt Qiao'er's, and the lark at Aunt Er's, I also want to have one..."
"Domestic animal?" Yelyu Lie realized, "Do you like cats or birds?"
"A wolf... would that be okay?" Yun Chunnuan asked cautiously.
She didn't know what wolves represented to the Bianliao people.
If in her world, she told her parents she wanted a wolf, wouldn't they give her a beating?
To her surprise, Yelyu Lie seemed intrigued, "Do people in the Central Plains also like wolves?"
He seemed interested, "My Jifeng will soon be giving birth to the purest black wolf cubs, you can choose one if you want."
"Jifeng?"
Yun Chunnuan repeated the name, feeling it sounded quite familiar.
But at the moment, she couldn't recall where she had heard it.
"Well, actually, I already have one in mind," Yun Chunnuan came to the cabinet, crouched down, and called to the shivering little white wolf underneath, "Come out, he won't harm you."
Yelyu Lie's gaze followed, and he noticed a dirty little thing climbing out from the gap under the cabinet.
He frowned deeply, clearly disapproving, "White Wolf? Is this what you want to keep?"
"Isn't it cute?"
Yun Chunnuan held the little white wolf in her arms and rubbed its small head, "Look how well-behaved it is, I once had a puppy that was just as good. Please let me keep it!"
The young girl's demeanor showed she truly liked it.
Yelyu Lie frowned at the little white wolf, which was nervously gazing back at him.
"Filthy."
Yelyu Lie's disdain was not for its surface dirt, but for the legend surrounding white wolves.
However, Yun Chunnuan thought he was referring to the white wolf's outward appearance, so she quickly said, "Don't judge it by its current state, once it's bathed, it'll surely be adorable! Please let me keep it, this is my first time asking a favor from you!"
Yelyu Lie: "..."
Look at how Central Plains women push their luck?
She had just been apologizing to him, and he hadn't even said he forgave her, yet here she was bargaining with him.
But oddly enough, he couldn't bring himself to say no.
His sharp eyes inspected the Little Princess from head to toe.
Under Yun Chunnuan's growingly uneasy gaze, he smirked and said, "How about you, wash yourself clean first?"
