Chapter 262 - A Fans Lament (2/2)

”But -”

”Just go.” An Hao ordered, pushing the servant along, ”I'll be in the garden.” He added and sauntered off to the garden where he patiently waited, a bit disappointed. He had been planning to spend the afternoon with her but since she was busy today, he would just talk with her briefly and then return to the camp to see to the arrangements himself.

An Hao sighed, still feeling disgruntled about the whole affair.

”General...” The servant returned after a while, An Hao happily turned only to be disappointed when he saw just the servant, the servant promptly informed, ”The younger miss said I should bring you over.”

”Oh, okay. Lead the way.” An Hao swiftly responded with a smile, which he maintained until he was led to what he realized was Xiao Ting's bedroom to find Xiao Ting sitting up in bed, with a blanket on her legs.

”What happened to you?” An Hao worriedly asked promptly shoved the box into the servant's hand as he rushing over, sat on the bed as he grabbed Xiao Ting's face, turning it side to side as he quickly looked her over.

”You're making me dizzy! ” Xiao Ting exclaimed as she grabbed his hands to stop him from shaking her head, ”I just hurt my leg.” She explained as she frowned at An Hao with a pout.

An Hao blinked at her as he realized what he was doing, but instead moving his hands he just blinked at her adorable pouting face as his face started to turn red.

”O-oh!” An Hao finally responded, immediately dropping his hands to his lap and frowning down at them as his heartbeat loudly in his ears.

{...What am I doing?! (≧_≦)...}

”General...” The servant came up to them and presented the box An hao had shoved in his hands. Xiao Ting promptly took the box and opened it, ”Oh, I love these...You remembered...” Xiao Ting said smiling at An Hao as she picked one up to eat.

An Hao raised his head and smugly said, ”...I always remember.”

”Here...” Xiao Ting said, holding out the box to him. An Hao smiled at her and took one, letting out a little happy sigh as he did. He had missed this.

Xiao Ting turned to her personal maid and went, ”Ah Cai, tea and snacks...”

Ah Cai knit her brows and then turned to the servant that came with An Hao and he smartly went, ”I'll go get them” and then left to get things done.

Ah Cai turned back to An Hao and Xiao Ting, who were smilingly eating and went over to the side to pick up a chair for An Hao to sit on.

An Hao truly should not be in her mistress's bedroom, but considering Xiao Ting was not supposed to move, they could make an exception as long as there was a third-party in the room and the doors were left open.

But still, he definitely should not be sitting on the bed with her.

”So -” An Hao began but Ah Cai promptly cut in before they could get even more carried away, ”General An, please sit here.” She politely said.

An Hao glanced over at Ah Cai and turned to Xiao Ting on the bed and immediately understood and promptly relocated himself to the chair with his face heating up again. He really let himself get carried away today and Xiao Ting's indulging personality did not help matters.

”Do you know what's been going on in the city?” Xiao Ting curiously asked in between bites, bringing An Hao out of his thoughts.

An Hao blinked at her and then went, ”Did you get hurt during the search?” An Hao asked with a frown.

”Oh no...I tripped on a rock yesterday.” Xiao Ting sheepishly explained, lowering her head and turning red. It was really embarrassing to still be falling over like that at her age.

”That's good then.” An Hao said, relaxing. He was already getting ready to go pick a fight with someone over this. He would have started with his father and then the commanders and then would have located the hooligan who dared to mishandle her.

But now that he actually thought about it, he panicked over nothing. No one in the army or even in the country would dare to manhandle the Defense minister's daughter, especially not in his own house.

”Good?” Xiao Ting asked with a frown.

”No, I meant that it's good it is just a simple injury.” An Hao quickly amended and then went, ”I'll be leaving the city tomorrow on an assignment...” He informed, switching the topic.

Xiao Ting paused for a bit and then, ”Oh...when will you be back?”

An Hao sighed and then said, ”A month to two...It won't be too long.” Xiao Ting lowered her head and seemed to pout a bit and An Hao immediately perked and said, ”I'll bring you a bunch of fun things! I can get the authentic materials for our recipes and also some other interesting stuff too. You'll love them!” He excitedly finished with a reassuring smile.

Xiao Ting looked up at his excited face and then nodded with a smile, ”I'll look forward to it then~”

An Hao's smile widened with Xiao Ting's words and smile. It was a good decision to come here, he was feeling much better now.
