Chapter 921: Chapter 921: The Palpitation Feeling

However, Nangong Ye pulled her hands into his, looking at her again, "If it weren’t for the war, we wouldn’t have had so many twists and turns. I’ve thought it over clearly during this time, and you are the most important thing in my heart. Being a general is not important to me, the safety of the people is something the Emperor should worry about. I want to make up for everything we’ve lost. Fengfeng, this is what I owe you."

His palms were broad and coarse, giving her a sense of security when he held her hands. Although his words did not move her to tears, they still stirred something within her heart.

Thinking of the images that intermittently flashed through her mind, she felt that she should travel with him.

...

The next day.

Early in the morning, Nangong Ye had someone bring over the washing utensils, and after Lady Nan Feng was ready, he took her out for breakfast before they set off.

Lady Nan Feng was now very familiar with horseback riding; each rode their own horse, heading towards the Shangzhi Yamen first. Nangong Ye said he wanted Lady Nan Feng to meet Song Cheng, because if it weren’t for him, they wouldn’t have reunited so quickly.

To get to the Yamen, they had to pass by an inn, and as Lady Nan Feng rode past, she unexpectedly heard someone call out, "General Nangong?"

It was Xiaohong from the inn.

Xiaohong, upon seeing Lady Nan Feng, was excited. "So General Nangong has found your lady. How did you find her, ah? My goodness, lady, you don’t know, General Nangong looked terrifying that day. I was nervous all night, worried that if General Nangong couldn’t find anyone, he would come take it out on us. Oh, where is Liang Shuang?"

Lady Nan Feng did not remember anyone named Liang Shuang and naturally did not respond to her, only looking at Nangong Ye.

Nangong Ye said to Xiaohong, "Thank you, lady, for your concern. My wife has been found. May your business prosper, and now we take our leave."

Nangong Ye intended to leave, but Lady Nan Feng looked at him and said, "This is an inn, isn’t it? I want to go in and take a bath."

Not having bathed the previous night was quite uncomfortable.

"Absolutely not!" Nangong Ye was wary of the inn: "You disappeared after staying here just one night. We must never stay at this inn again."

Xiaohong: "..."

After hearing that, Lady Nan Feng urged her horse forward: "Then never mind."

...

The two then went to see Song Cheng.

When Lady Nan Feng appeared before Song Cheng, he was greatly surprised, "I knew it, it had to be Lady Nan Feng. Lady Nan Feng, do you not remember me?"

While tying up the horses, Nangong Ye said, "Lord Song, she doesn’t even remember who I am, how could she remember you?"

Lady Nan Feng just smiled.

"Lady Nan Feng, if you can’t remember, then I really must remind you. Your husband is a very remarkable man—good at fighting, of good character, and handsome. Thinking about how you both have braved so many hardships together, you must try hard to remember him, you know? Currently, seventy percent of the ladies in the country want to marry him, and many have secretly kept portraits of Nangong Ye in their homes. I don’t know who spread the portraits, but it’s gone from one to ten, ten to a hundred!"

Lady Nan Feng laughed, "Then wouldn’t I be the rival in love of seventy percent of the nation’s ladies?"

"Indeed," Song Cheng stroked his beard and smiled, "but you don’t have to worry. Your Nangong Ye is very devoted. He has eyes only for you and dismisses all other ladies."

Lady Nan Feng turned to look at Nangong Ye, who had finished tying the horses and was walking towards her with long strides.

The way a man who has been on the battlefield walks is distinctive; those big steps were full of vigor, and Lady Nan Feng felt her heart flutter again.
