The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1805

Chapter 1805: 886 Brothers Meet (Second Watch)

Xiao Hen was wearing a silver fox cloak, the soft fox fur gently swaying in the cold wind, brushing lightly against his handsome face.

Having not seen each other for two months, he seemed to have grown even more, his features more delicate and handsome, with a touch of noble royal dignity in his gaze, yet without a hint of arrogance.

The pristine white snow behind him, clad in silver, the landscape picturesque, couldn’t steal away an ounce of his charm.

Gu Jiao stared at him dumbfounded: "Why are you here? Weren’t you heading back to Shengdu?"

The news she received was that the prince had finished discussing peace and was returning to the capital.

Xiao Hen placed the wooden bucket on the edge of the well, holding the handle with one hand and gently rubbing her hair with the other: "If I told you, how could I surprise you?" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Well played.

Even flirting doesn’t need to be subtle anymore.

Getting bolder by the day.

Gu Jiao’s gaze fell on his hand holding the wooden handle. She had seen it clearly just now; he lifted such a large bucket of water with ease.

"Your strength has grown too..."

His arm strength matched that of a grown man, even his aura and voice had changed, becoming more mature and steady.

Xiao Hen gently pinched her delicate, slightly cool chin: "You’ve lost weight again, haven’t you been eating properly?"

Gu Jiao replied earnestly: "I’ve been eating well, a lot every day."

This was the truth. To replenish her energy, she hadn’t been skimping on food. It’s just that being in constant battles took a toll, leaving her slimmer than when she was in Shengdu.

Xiao Hen smirked, his fingertips gently caressing her chin: "Wasting away for you, is that it, Gu Jiaojiao?"

Gu Jiao: "...!!"

How did he suddenly become so flirtatious!

Gu Jiao pouted and raised an eyebrow: "Aren’t you thinner too? Is it because you missed me?"

Come on, be shy, young man!

But Xiao Hen just gave a gentle laugh, his eyes looking deeply at her: "There’s a beauty I can’t forget. One day apart makes me miss her like crazy."

Gu Jiaojiao was taken aback.

Wow!

How did he get so skillful!

Xiao Hen looked at her stunned expression and couldn’t help but laugh inside.

After all, they were about to get married seriously, and he couldn’t blush as easily as before.

He had grown up.

Ready to be her man.

The winter wind was sharp as a knife, and Gu Jiao’s fingertips were ice cold.

Xiao Hen took off his silver fox cloak and draped it over Gu Jiao’s stiff little body, the cloak lingering with his warmth and scent, warm and fragrant.

Gu Jiao took a deep breath, feeling warmth flood through her body.

Xiao Hen raised his slender fingers and carefully fastened the ribbons of the cloak, pulling the hood over her chilled little head.

Gu Jiao glanced behind him and asked in confusion: "Huh? Where’s Long Yi?"

"He’s gone," Xiao Hen said.

On a snowy morning, when he opened his eyes, Long Yi was no longer by his side.

Long Yi had left only after ensuring Xiao Hen was in a safe place.

Now, Long Yi was likely searching for his own memories and answers.

"Oh." Gu Jiao lowered her eyes, feeling a bit of disappointment.

She was now capable of sensing more emotions, and some of them brought her sadness.

Thunk.

Her forehead rested against his firm chest.

Xiao Hen lifted his strong arm, wrapping it gently around her in the cold wind: "It’s okay, I believe one day we’ll see Long Yi again."

Gu Jiao: "Mmm."

...

Meanwhile, Wei Renchong, Li Shen, and Zhao Dengfeng came to fetch water by the well and spotted the two figures embracing each other in the distance, one clearly a man and the other cloaked, but identifiable by the military boots as a soldier of the camp.

In broad daylight, two grown men being so affectionate, what a scandal!

It’s simply—

The three rolled up their sleeves, ready to drag the two out for disciplinary action, when Li Shen suddenly halted: "Is that the Young Commander?"

Zhao Dengfeng and Wei Renchong stared intently.

Oh, that little face peeking out from under the cloak... wasn’t that the Young Commander’s?!

He, he, he—

Wei Renchong, standing between the other two, was the first to raise his hand, quickly covering the eyes of his companions.

Almost simultaneously, Li Shen and Zhao Dengfeng raised a hand each to cover Wei Renchong’s eyes.

Gu Jiao, warm and comfortable in his embrace, couldn’t help but blush.

Xiao Hen slightly lowered his head, whispering playfully in her ear: "Your subordinates saw us."

In a place where she couldn’t see, the tips of his ears were slightly red.

But just for a moment, the cold wind calmed it down.

Gu Jiao lifted her head from his embrace and looked around, spotting the three officers awkwardly covering each other’s eyes in a bizarre pose to her right.

"Oh." Gu Jiao nonchalantly straightened up and looked towards the trio, saying, "Li Shen, Wei Renchong, Zhao Dengfeng, come meet His Highness Changsun."

The three stumbled in surprise, falling down face first!
