Zhu E lowered her face, bent her waist, and shrank her chest slightly to clearly see Chen Yi.
Chen Yi looked at her still bearing the appearance of the Empress Dowager. In truth, her adopting this visage was not without the intent to scare away the nameless old nanny. Thinking of this, his heart softened somewhat.
"Liao Hao, come closer." Chen Yi called.
Zhu E made a sound of acknowledgment and buried her face even lower.
Chen Yi then lifted his head and pecked her on the forehead.
He didn't kiss her lips, leaving Zhu E uncertain of his intentions.
Chen Yi said lightly, "I kissed Yin Tingxue like this too."
Upon hearing this, Zhu E covered her mouth and laughed softly, a warm feeling flowing through her heart.
After a while of her joy, Chen Yi asked, "When will you return to the Southern Border?"
Zhu E replied truthfully, "It won't be long, we must return early as many in the army are waiting to celebrate the New Year."
