Chapter 290: Chapter 290

Then he swung the horsewhip, left through the back door, heading towards the Deserted Mountain.

Right now, he only wanted to see his Pei Shu’er.

This time, if it weren’t for the bulletproof vest Pei Shu’er gave him, he wouldn’t have been able to come and go freely in the Tazi Camp.

After all, the chances of the General and the soldiers getting injured were actually the same. In fact, because the leader charged to the front line, the risk of injury was even greater than for the soldiers.

This bulletproof vest, you could say, made a great contribution.

Moreover, if it weren’t for the compressed biscuits given by Pei Shu’er.

Their men would have starved long ago, how could they have lasted until now?

Pei Shu’er’s door was knocked on, she thought it might be Tang Shuo or Tang Qingning wanting to sleep with her again.

She sleepily draped on a coat and opened the door, then saw Tang Zan standing outside.

At this moment, Tang Zan had just showered and was wearing a dark feathered coat.

His hair was still damp and hanging down, but , he appeared more relaxed than usual, making it even harder for Pei Shu’er to look away.

Seeing Tang Zan made Pei Shu’er’s eyes redden a bit.

She opened her mouth, speaking softly.

Tang Zan cupped Pei Shu’er’s face and kissed her.

The two of them kissed passionately, and Pei Shu’er hugged Tang Zan tightly.

They went inside, and Tang Zan closed the door, placing Pei Shu’er on the bed, his eyes filled with tenderness and longing.

His voice was husky and magnetic, as he kissed Pei Shu’er’s cheeks, causing a tickling sensation.

Pei Shu’er arched her body from the ticklish feeling, and Tang Zan pushed her limbs aside, while Pei Shu’er wrapped her arms around his neck.

Tang Zan’s eyes were gentle, his magnetic voice tantalizing Pei Shu’er’s hearing.

"I miss you so much."

This was the first time he openly expressed missing her.

Pei Shu’er sat up, pressing a kiss onto his lips, her forehead gently rubbing against his.

"I miss you so much too."

After saying this, Pei Shu’er’s cheeks flushed even more.

She... it was also her first time expressing such longing.

Tang Zan held Pei Shu’er’s cheeks, kissing her gently again and again.

At this moment, only this brief tenderness could alleviate their yearning.

Her hand touched Tang Zan’s damp hair, feeling the coldness.

"Let me dry your hair, with such cold weather, you might catch a cold."

After saying that, Pei Shu’er fetched a dry towel for Tang Zan, drying his hair gently.

Her gentle movements allowed Tang Zan to enjoy this moment of tranquility.

As Pei Shu’er continued, Tang Zan leaned against her abdomen and fell asleep.

Pei Shu’er’s eyes were full of tenderness, he must be exhausted.

Seeing the wounds on his hands, she took out some ointment and applied it on Tang Zan.

She applied it very gently and carefully, and Tang Zan remained asleep throughout.

After finishing, Pei Shu’er gently nudged Tang Zan.

Tang Zan drowsily took off his shoes.

It was the first time Pei Shu’er had seen Tang Zan .

He always seemed distant and emotionless, yet here he was, approachable and down-to-earth.

As Pei Shu’er got up to leave, she found Tang Zan’s drowsy eyes already open. He grabbed her, pulling her into his arms. Follow current novᴇls on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝓷𝓮𝓽

"Where are you going? Stay here."

With that, he sleepily kissed her again.

Pei Shu’er went along with Tang Zan, pushing the White Tiger off the bed and laying on the inner side.

The White Tiger whimpered twice, staring accusingly at her.

Pei Shu’er ignored it, and the White Tiger rested its head on its forepaws, flicking its tail irritably before falling back asleep.

Tang Zan hugged Pei Shu’er’s waist, letting out a comfortable sigh.

He knew that in such environments, he hardly slept well, always waking at the slightest disturbance.

During his exile, aside from the period he was unconscious, he barely slept well.

The only time he truly slept well was when holding Pei Shu’er in his arms.

This woman was warm, clean, with a gentle presence that brought peace of mind.

"Let me hold you, it’s been so long since I last held you."

While in the Tazi territory, he thought of nothing but Pei Shu’er, eager to finish things quickly and return to her.

He pressed his lips against her neck and then fell asleep leaning on her.

Pei Shu’er could feel Tang Zan’s breathing; she yawned and then fell back asleep.

When it was morning, Tang Zan was still asleep.

Pei Shu’er moved a little, and Tang Zan held her, pulling her closer into his embrace.

Initially, Pei Shu’er didn’t want to sleep, but it was so warm that she slept more comfortably with Tang Zan.

When they woke up, it was already noon, and Tang Zan, seeing the tasty sight of Pei Shu’er before him, felt a little tempted.

He kissed Pei Shu’er’s neck softly, waking her up with his tender yet teasing manner.

Tang Zan looked at her and exchanged a lingering kiss, the gentleness in both of their eyes almost overflowing.

Pei Shu’er smiled, "Aren’t you going today?"

Tang Zan replied, "In the afternoon, yesterday was too late, and General Zhao granted us leave."

Tang Zan kissed her, and Pei Shu’er’s eyes were full of warm laughter.

Suddenly, she remembered something.

"By the way, Tang Zan, about the evidence for the exile..."

The once warm atmosphere suddenly turned cold.

Pei Shu’er could see the flame burning in Tang Zan’s eyes, seemingly extinguished by a bucket of cold water.

He said, "Let’s not mention this matter in the future, as long as you’ll stay with me for the rest of your life, accompanying me."

His lowered eyes revealed no emotions.

But Pei Shu’er knew he was probably very displeased.

This was the thorn stuck in both of their hearts.

Pei Shu’er felt heartache, knowing that despite such a big grudge, with Tang Zan’s temperament, he had managed to hold back from killing her.

This alone was enough to prove her important place in Tang Zan’s heart.

Whether from a benefit perspective or an emotional perspective, he never laid a hand on her.

Pei Shu’er looked at him.

"Listen to me, previously the Third Prince summoned me to treat his wound. I gleaned some clues from him. From his words, it was clear that the person who set up the evidence wasn’t me."

These words brought a spark back to Tang Zan’s once dull eyes, looking at Pei Shu’er with even more gentleness than before.

Even though all the evidence suggested it was Pei Shu’er, in his heart, he always thought and hoped it wasn’t her who did it.

"I’ll have someone investigate immediately."

Afterwards, Tang Zan immediately got up and dressed, walking to the door. He closed it and called out Xuan Liu, assigning him the task.

At this moment, Pei Shu’er was inside getting dressed. As soon as she finished, Tang Zan pushed open the door and entered, closing it behind him.

Tang Zan embraced her from behind, gently biting her neck. His voice was low and husky, like a soothing violin.

"Pei Shu’er, you said you’ve seen the Third Prince before?"

As he spoke, he gently grazed her neck with his teeth.

Pei Shu’er: "...Aren’t you focusing on the wrong point?"

Tang Zan chuckled twice.

"This is me settling scores; it’s my right as a husband."
