Chapter 125 - 123. His Tenderness IV

Third person POV

Meiyun: " Me? Go meet Miss Naran?"

Because she was sitting on her bed, she had to look up to the standing Di Shang.

Di Shang: " Don't force yourself if you can't."

Meiyun: " No no no, the pleasure would be mine."

Meiyun got out from her bed and stood in front of him. She looked at him with a wide smile on her face and glanced at the door but Di Shang didn't move an inch, he just stared at her smiling face with gentle eyes. Seeing the man in front of her didn't move, she glanced at the door again. And once again, he didn't respond to her code.

Meiyun: " Uuhh General?"

Di Shang: " What is it, Meiyun?"

Meiyun's heart thumped when he called her name.

Meiyun: " I am going to change my clothes, if you don't mind, could you please…"

Meiyun didn't finish her sentence and just glanced at the door. Di Shang's face blushed, he quickly turned around and went out of the room. He closed and leaned on the door, he could feel his heart thumping really hard. Then his brain slowly filled with image of Meiyun.

Di Shang: ' If I could, I would just stare at her face for my whole life….'

Di Shang roughly scratched his head when the thought popped out of his mind. Meiyun felt funny and chuckled when she saw how he scratched his head from the silhouette. She didn't know why but her heart was always filled with warmness and happiness whenever she was near him. She briefly dressed up and put her badge in her pocket before she went out of her room.

Di Shang was looking around the garden then he heard the door opened, he turned his head around and his breath was taken away when he saw Meiyun wore his tribe clothes. Meiyun was quite uncomfortable with the clothes that she was wearing because she could clearly see that the clothes wasn't for servants, to be more specific, it was for the rich young ladies.

She stiffly walked with both of her arms straight, afraid that she would make the expensive dress wrinkle. Then suddenly a huge shadow covered her completely from sunlight, she slowly looked up and saw Di Shang expressionlessly stared at her, yet, his eyes were so gentle that she almost drowned in his gaze. He brushed her hair to the side and slid a stem of peony flower to the side of her ear. He smiled lightly and caressed her cheek with his thumb.

Di Shang: " Perfect."

Di Shang: ' Our clothes matches.'

Meiyun's face instantly flushed red, even though she didn't love him, yet her heart beat faster than ever whenever he unconsciously does these kind of things. Di Shang slightly waved his hand to the servants behind him and took the paper umbrella that he had ordered them to prepare. He opened the umbrella and handed it to her which she gladly accepted.

Di Shang: " You just recovered, avoid the sunlight for awhile or you will collapse again."

She was very touched by his thoughtfulness, she smiled brighter than the sun.

Meiyun: " Thank you very much for your consideration, General Di."

Di Shang's eyebrow twitched when he heard how she called, however, seeing her bright smile, he shrugged off those annoying feelings. As long as he could see her smiling, he was satisfied.

Di Shang: " En."

Di Shang took her other hand in his big hand.

Di Shang: " Should we go?"

Meiyun: " En."

They rode a horse to Di Yu's residence with Meiyun sat on Di Shang's lap whilst hiding her face on his chest. Since her mask was broken and Di Shang didn't gave her a veil, she didn't have any option but to hide her face with his clothes and the worse thing was Di Shang only wore one layer of cloth, therefore her face was touching his bare chest.

She had asked him to just give her another horse but Di Shang insisted that she should ride with him. He wanted to be close to her as much as possible because he knew that soon she had to go back to Hong er's side. And he was worried that she would suddenly collapse again, furthermore, it would be extremely dangerous if she fell from a horse. His hand was wrapped around her waist securing her in his lap so she wouldn't fall off but it only made Meiyun more embarrassed.

The people on the street was staring at them with wide eyes, their famous bachelor general got a woman in his arm, it was a big news especially for Di Shang's tribe. If the men in his tribe let a woman sit with them in their horse, it meant they had a special feeling for the woman. And now it happened!

The unmarried girls were crying their heart out when they heard that Di Shang had got a lover. They had tried really hard to grab his heart but none of their plans worked, even some of them were high ranked noble lady but Di Shang politely rejected them. They were curious of this lady that had grabbed their stone heart general, is she beautiful? Or rich? Or maybe she's a princess or a high ranked noble lady?

Meiyun couldn't handle their stares as she had never been stared by this many people before. She lightly tugged Di Shang's shirt and mumbled with inaudible voice. Di Shang's face got slightly pink when Meiyun's breath brushed his skin, he moved his hand that was wrapped around her waist to pat her head.

Di Shang: " It tickles."

Meiyun flinched, Di Shang curiously peeked at her and saw her beet red ear. His chest moved up and down as he chuckled at Meiyun's cuteness. Realized that she was laughed at, she kitty punched his chest which made him laughed more loudly. The on lookers were getting surprised once again when they heard him laughing heartily.

On lookers: ' He… laughed. But she punches him.'

Feeling guilty, Di Shang bent down so his lips were beside her ear.

Di Shang: " Hold on. I will go fast."

Di Shang held the rein with both of his hands and waited for Meiyun to find a place to hold her still but he didn't expect her to hug him so tight. His heart was thumping so hard that he could hear his own heartbeat, he gripped the rein and stormed off with a wide smile.
