Chu Lian had always been a picky eater. Although she forced herself to eat some of the food in front of her, she tactfully put down her chopsticks after a few mouthfuls.

He Sanlang saw her actions and didn't say anything. He reached out and finished the leftover pot she ate.

Chu Lian blinked her large eyes as she watched He Changdi eat her leftover food with a cold expression. She blushed and felt a little guilty.

In order to reduce the awkwardness, Chu Lian deliberately tried to find a topic. "Do all the generals in the border army eat this every day?"

He Changdi finished drinking the hot water in his bowl and wiped the corners of his mouth with the handkerchief Wenlan handed him. His deep eyes looked up at the petite and delicate woman in front of him.

This poisonous woman's eyes were shining like a deer's, full of curiosity.

He Sanlang pretended to look away inadvertently and slowly replied, "Yes, even the Great General eats these."

Chu Lian immediately wailed in her heart. But then she felt it was strange. Even if the Xiang army didn't receive military pay, they wouldn't be at the level of eating this kind of bean paste without rice grains. He Sanlang's position in the army wasn't high, but he was still a captain. She had come today to reward the army on Empress Dowager's orders. Great General Qian had specially asked her to stay for a meal, so it was impossible for him to serve poor food to a guest.

But what was served was this …

They had salted meat and pot here. Then what about the soldiers living in the lower ranks?

Chu Lian's almond-shaped eyes suddenly widened. She swallowed and suddenly got up to sit next to He Changdi.

Wenqing and Wenlan saw their mistress's sudden movements and were stunned. In the next second, their faces reddened and they consciously and quietly retreated out of the tent.

It was true that absence makes the heart grow fonder. Third Young Mistress and Third Young Master hadn't been intimate enough.

After Chu Lian sat down, she felt that this distance wasn't enough and moved closer to He Changdi.

From the moment she intimately sat next to him, He Changdi's nose was filled with Chu Lian's clear and elegant sweet scent. His entire body froze in an instant. He didn't know what Chu Lian was playing at this time.

He wanted to push this poisonous woman away, but his hands clearly hadn't done anything. He just couldn't make such an action.

This familiar taste made it easy for him to immerse himself in the feeling of that wonderful kiss.

He Sanlang's ears reddened, and he couldn't help but gulp.

His eyes deepened and his gaze narrowed. He looked at Chu Lian's pink lips, but Chu Lian's next words shattered all of his fantasies.

"He Sanlang, tell me the truth, is the border army already starting to run out of food?"

He Changdi's entire body seemed to be frozen. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed dangerously. His large palm clamped down on Chu Lian's arm and he asked coldly, "How did you know?"

Chu Lian didn't notice his abnormality. She just widened her almond-shaped eyes and was shocked in her heart. It was really like this!

"Didn't your Chang sui Laiyue come to the north with you? Why haven't I seen him these past few days?"

Laiyue definitely wasn't in the army. Otherwise, there was no way he wouldn't show up to welcome her in He Changdi's stead. But he wasn't in He Manor either … Chu Lian's eyes lit up.

"You sent him out to transport food?" Chu Lian's bright almond-shaped eyes were filled with certainty. Then, she looked up at He Changdi.

Chu Lian trembled in fear when she saw his expression.

He Sanlang's cold, bloodthirsty gaze was exactly the same as the first time she saw him in the bridal room. That time, he almost strangled her to death …

Chu Lian's scalp went numb. She instinctively took a step back, wanting to distance herself from the danger.

However, He Changdi held her slender arm tightly and did not let her move. His pair of eyes suddenly became terrifying as he stared into Chu Lian's eyes. It was as if he wanted to look into her heart through those clear eyes and see through her completely!

He repeated, "How did you know?" His tone was much colder and more dangerous than the first time.

He knew that he could take precautions in advance because of his past life, but how did Chu Lian know?!

At this moment, Chu Lian also noticed that something was wrong with He Sanlang, but she didn't understand how she had touched on his forbidden zone.

She pushed away the large palm that was holding onto her arm and said pitifully, "Can you be gentler? It hurts so much!

What do you mean by how did I know? Anyone with a brain would be able to guess. Why would I need someone to leak it?

If I'm treated with this kind of food, what kind of food can a normal soldier eat? "

He Changdi stared at the wronged little woman in front of him. Just as Chu Lian was about to struggle and scold him, he finally let go.

In his past life, that poisonous woman had left too much of a shadow in his heart. He actually hid a deep fear in his heart, but now, he realized that he actually started to care about this poisonous woman. However, the premise was that she was this life's Chu Lian. His heart was filled with fear and apprehension. He was afraid that the Chu Lian in front of him would disappear and be replaced by the person from his past life.

That was why he had such a big reaction just now.

Chu Lian didn't know the reason for He Changdi's sudden change in expression. She rubbed her arm and looked resentfully at the man beside her who would go crazy at the slightest disagreement.

"It must be green. He Sanlang, what's wrong with you!"

After He Changdi calmed down, he began to regret it again. He didn't know how to face Chu Lian. He slightly lowered his head and his long and dense eyelashes covered his deep eyes. After a long time, he said, "I didn't do it on purpose."

Chu Lian rolled her eyes and sighed.

She called Wenqing and Wenlan in.

"Help me up."

Wenqing carefully helped Chu Lian up. When she touched Chu Lian's arm, she let out a hiss. Wenqing was startled and secretly glanced at He Changdi.

Chu Lian tidied up her clothes and said to He Sanlang who was still in a daze, "Husband, it's getting late. If I don't leave now, it will be dark by the time I get to the He Residence."

Finishing, she didn't wait for He Changdi to reply. She turned around and let Wenqing and Wenlan help her put on her fur coat and sleeves. She lifted the curtain and left the tent.

Chu Lian suddenly became so cold. Even a fool could tell that this young couple had some kind of disagreement.

He Changdi looked at Chu Lian's back as she left without turning back. His expression instantly became even more unsightly. He resisted the urge to send her out. When the tent curtain stopped moving, he raised his arm and was about to flip over the small table with the food on it.

But when he saw the unfinished guokui and salted meat on the table, he resisted again. In the end, he had nowhere to vent his anger and annoyance, so he kicked over the charcoal pot next to him.

The red-hot charcoal rolled all over the ground. Fortunately, there was nothing on the ground of his tent, so nothing was damaged.

He Sanlang calmly looked at the charcoal rolling on the ground. He anxiously paced back and forth twice and then sat down on the bed.

The hard and damp bed became soft and warm. The fur mattress on it was more comfortable than the one he brought from Shengjing. The mattress was embroidered with patterns. It was obvious that it was something for women.

He Sanlang's slender fingers gently stroked it and then felt inside. The straw that had been used to make up the mattress was gone. Instead, it was replaced by a soft blanket.

He Changdi seemed to be able to imagine the vicious woman gritting her teeth as she changed the mattress for him. The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't sit still. In the end, he hit the bed hard, picked up the cloak on the side, and hurried out.
