Yelyu Lie curled his lips and strode quickly, closing the distance.
"Hungry?" he asked gruffly.
Yun Chunnuan remained silent, still warily glaring at him.
By now, the sky was already bright, and she noticed that the man with a stubbled face from last night had shaved, revealing an extraordinarily handsome and heroic face.
Perhaps due to years of sun and wind exposure, along with Bianliao's dry climate, his wheat-colored skin had a layer of skin flakes, and there was a scar below his lips.
Yet it didn't affect his striking charm in the slightest.
His thick eyebrows rebelliously raised slightly, beneath long and slightly curled lashes, his amber pupils gleamed with a hint of wildness.
A straight, chiseled nose, well-defined lips, and prominent features reminded Yun Chunnuan of descriptions from overbearing CEO novels...
Ah, she finally saw what it meant to be carved-like handsome.
One bit more, too rugged. One bit less, too delicate.
Not too much, not too little, just right.
At this moment, a smile reminiscent of wicked charm hung on that handsome face, "So, found out your man isn't bad looking, huh! Hahaha!"
Yelyu Lie shamelessly praised himself.
He was hailed as the most handsome man in all of Bianliao! After all, his mother was a great beauty from the Western Regions!
Yun Chunnuan: "..."
She's seen people with thick skin, but never someone so shameless!
Yes, she admitted that this man was indeed much better looking than she imagined, but it didn't stop her from rejecting such a brute!
Moreover, he's just a stud who only thinks with his lower half!
Thinking about all the women he had, Yun Chunnuan shivered, feeling utterly repulsed.
"Speak up! Cat got your tongue?" Yelyu Lie didn't like the disdain in her eyes.
She probably didn't know what the chicken thigh on the plate meant to the people of Bianliao.
Yelyu Lie, disregarding everyone's objections, slaughtered one of the only two chickens in the house.
All to cordially entertain his faraway arriving little wife.
After interrogating that damned Marriage Envoy last night, he found out she wasn't a little swindler, and Yelyu Lie felt sorry for her.
Thinking about how such a delicate little princess had gone hungry for seven days and nights, nearly assaulted by those damned Central Plains people, traveled alone into the deep mountains and forests, encountering countless dangers along the way, he couldn't help but want to treat her well.
What's one chicken?
There's still one at home!
Yelyu Lie's heart was full of passion, but unfortunately, whenever he spoke, his gruff voice and his towering, strong physique frightened the little princess to tears.
"I-I'm not hungry."
Yun Chunnuan timidly looked at the rogue man, just wishing he would stay away from her.
She had a cleanliness obsession!
Mental cleanliness, physical cleanliness, all kinds of cleanliness! Thinking about all the women he had, and that he even held her, and might even in the future...
Yun Chunnuan couldn't stop feeling nauseous!
"Nonsense! That little waist of yours, I could snap with one hand! Hurry and eat, fatten up a bit, it's uncomfortable to hold otherwise!"
Seeming to notice the delicate little princess being scared of him, Yelyu Lie no longer approached.
He just placed the food tray on the table and turned to leave.
After taking two steps, he returned.
Yun Chunnuan, who just relaxed, tensed up again.
Unexpectedly, the man picked up the food tray from the table, stretched his arm across a step away, and placed it at her bedside.
He turned around and left.
As he reached the door, he suddenly said, "That Central Plains guy with the surname He has been fed to Jifeng, no one will bully you anymore."
