Chapter 706
When Xie Jue went to Lan's house, General Lan went out to meet friends. Only General Lan was recovering from his injuries at home. Xie Jue handed the gifts he brought to the maid. He was taken to her boudoir by Lan Ningzhen's people, and there was a burning earth dragon in the room. , the temperature was suitable, Lan Ningzhen leaned on the soft pillow and read Xianshu. When she knew Xie Jue was coming, she stood up wearing a short coat to greet him.

There was some pain from the wound, so he softened his body slightly. Xie Jue frowned and said in a deep voice, "Don't move, lie down!"

He had just come in from the outside and was covered in wind and snow. The wind and snow fell on his shoulders and made them wet. Lan Ningzhen's eyes lit up when she looked at him. Now that they were engaged and had a name, Lan Ningzhen didn't know why. Seeing that his face was slightly red, Xie Jue felt a little uncomfortable. He took off his cloak and hung it up. He washed his hands before walking over. The maid left with a wink, closed the door, and opened only a small window. windows for ventilation.

"How is your injury?" Xie Jue sat on the soft stool beside the bed.

"The flesh wound looks scary, but it's actually not bad. I'm sensible and won't risk my life." Lan Ningzhen said with a smile. Her face was white, her lips were bloodless, and she looked extremely weak.Her long hair is draped softly on her shoulders, and the sideburns on both sides cover a little of her outline. Even when she is ill, she still wears heavy makeup at home.

Xie Jue looked at her powdered face, frowned slightly, and said half-smilingly, "Miss Lan is recuperating from an illness, and is she also wearing heavy makeup?"

Lan Ningzhen touched her face, a little embarrassed, and quickly thought of an excuse, "There are so many seven aunts and eight aunts in the Lan family, and they all want to see me. I can't scare people with a broken face, so I have to disguise myself." Put on makeup.”

"Really?" Xie Jue found it interesting. He looked steadily into her eyes and moved down to look at her neck. Lan Ningzhen's skin color was darker than that of the Yanyang woman, not as fair, and her neck was slender. , without Adam's apple, Xie Jue thought of Fang Chuning. That man also had a slender neck and clear outline, but his Adam's apple was clear. He was sexy and charming when he raised his head to drink water without scruples in the hot summer. Xie Jue seemed to be curious and reached out to want He touched her neck, wondering if he had made a mistake, but he came to his senses halfway through.

Lan Ningzhen looked at his hand blankly, "What's wrong?"

Xie Jue smiled, "It's nothing. I just want to see your injury."

"It doesn't matter. Really, I can go up the mountain and hunt snow wolves if I just lie down for a day." Lan Ningzhen patted her chest, showing a neat and unrestrained way that she was very strong and not afraid of wounds at all.

Xie Jue frowned and said with some annoyance, "I won't do this next time."

There will never be a next time when he will risk his life again.When Dugu Jing's sword pierced his chest, Xie Jue's breathing stopped, fearing that something had happened.

Lan Ningzhen didn't care about this injury at all. She was just confused about one thing. Why did Xie Jue, who was always lukewarm towards her, suddenly change his attitude? Why?
She felt it when she was in the palace, especially after she was injured, she clearly heard Xie Jue call her "A Ning". She waited for Xie Jue for a long time, trying to hear him call her "A Ning", but she never heard it, as if it was A name that is unique to one person will tarnish who is put on another person.

But that day, in a desperate situation, he called her An Ning.

When he held her in his arms, Lan Ningzhen clearly saw the distress and regret in his eyes. That was Xie Jue's distress for Lan Ningzhen. Did he really fall in love with a foreign woman?In a foreign country, do you feel you belong?He couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad for a moment, and his mood hit rock bottom.

Now that Xie Jue was close at hand, with his gentle and elegant features, Lan Ningzhen could clearly see his regret and pity. This was what she had asked for and hoped for, but when she actually got it, her mood was so solemn, and she couldn't help it. Maybe, this is also part of acting. She actually thought to herself, would she feel happier if she was acting?
Xie Jue's mood was also very complicated. There were many things she wanted to say to him, but she couldn't.

Lan Ningzhen couldn't resist the confusion in her heart and couldn't help asking, "You... Helian, do you like me?"
