With a bang, Yu Bojun fell directly from the stool to the ground.

Ji Zhen, who was standing opposite, was startled by Yu Bojun's fall and hurriedly tried to pull him up.

However, when Yu Bojun's secret was exposed, he was touched by Ji Zhen's cool hand and stepped back as if he had been electrocuted. As a result, he did not stand up, but instead pulled Ji Zhen, who came to pull him, into his arms.

"Ouch, you bastard!"

Ji Zhen fell into Yu Bojun's arms without any preparation. Her small nose hit Yu Bojun's iron-hard chest hard, causing her tears to burst out in pain.

Yu Bojun was thrown by Ji Zhen and fell on his back. He held Ji Zhen's waist reflexively and held her firmly in his arms.

This was his subconscious behavior when he and Ji Zhen fought side by side on the battlefield countless times. He would always be Ji Zhen's shield and cushion. Even if Ji Zhen didn't want him to, he would be the last line of defense in front of Ji Zhen when danger approached.

But now Ji Zhen was not the same as she was on the battlefield. Instead of the hard armor, she was wearing a lavender brocade dress with wide sleeves. Her body temperature was transmitted to him through the thin fabric, making him feel as if he was burned and wanted to move away.

However, the touch in his palm was surprisingly good. The softness and warmth made him so attached that he was reluctant to move even a little.

Yu Bojun's palms were burning, and his face was even hotter. His heart was beating wildly against Ji Zhen's chest, and he was so stiff that he dared not move.

Ji Zhen touched her almost broken nose, raised her head from Yu Bojun's arms with tears in her eyes, and saw his tense and red face. Seeing his staring look, Ji Zhen couldn't help but punch him in the chest and scolded him with a smile:

"What's the point of looking like you're ready to die? Am I heavy? Get up!"

Ji Zhen supported himself on the ground, stood up, reached out to pull Yu Bojun up again, and brushed the dust off his body.

Yu Bojun was completely stiff, standing in front of Ji Zhen like a log, not daring to move. Only his heart was beating violently in his chest, as if he wanted someone to hear it, making him blush and shrink back.

Ji Zhen rarely saw Yu Bojun so timid. She raised her eyebrows and was about to tease him, but suddenly she thought of the question she had asked before he fell, and realized that she was the one who made him so timid. She couldn't help but smile and withdrew her hand.

It was so embarrassing. Yu Bojun just told her that he was engaged to him, so why did she ask him a question like whether he liked her or not?

Why is she so self-indulgent?

Ji Zhen glanced at Yu Bojun secretly, feeling so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a crack in the ground with her feet and jump in!

It is said that when people are angry, they cannot believe what they say! Isn't it just an engagement? Even if it is true, it is probably that Yu Bojun was forced to make it with her!

She had seen how powerful his mother, Marquis Zhongyong, was.

When she was little, she went to the mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery to force little Yu Bojun to sell her dates, which made people in both mansions restless. Her mother rolled up her sleeves and was about to beat her, but the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery stopped her and said a lot of good and bad things about her, which made both her and her mother dizzy.

Ji Zhen vaguely remembered that the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery said to her mother:

"Children in wealthy families are often naughty. Little Zhen'er knows how to buy dates with silver, which is rare. Once she grows up a little, she can be sent to the army for some training, endure hardships, and make achievements. She will definitely be a good match."

She was shocked at the time, thinking that he was indeed the famous loyal and brave Marquis of Nanyue. He could tell a person apart at a glance. She was only eight years old! Who would be the best match for her? That crybaby Yu Bojun? How many years later was this discussion about her?

Perhaps her shock was too obvious, the general looked at her with a complicated expression and sent her back to her room. This directly led to Ji Zhen knowing nothing about what happened later, until today, when Yu Bojun actually said that they really had an engagement.

Could it be that the engagement was made at that time?

No wonder Yu Bojun was so stiff when talking about this matter. She had bullied him a lot back then as a crybaby! Although it was just a joke, who would like to bully someone?

Ji Zhen was extremely annoyed. She laughed dryly twice, took a step back, and punched Yu Bojun in a pretentious and heroic manner, saying:

"Okay, it's just an engagement, right? If you don't like it, I'll go back to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery to cancel the engagement and give you back your freedom."

Now, it was Yu Bojun's turn to be confused. He stared at Ji Zhen without blinking, and unconsciously raised his voice, asking:

"Say it again? What do you want to do with my mother?"

"Cancel the engagement, don't you want this engagement?"

Ji Zhen couldn't help but think of the time when they were in Yin's office, when Lu Ziyan had mentioned Yu Bojun's engagement in a mocking way. Yu Bojun was so irritated that he almost went up to beat him up. It was obvious that Yu Bojun didn't like the fact that he had an engagement with her. If that was the case, why should she make things difficult for him?

In South Vietnam, breaking off an engagement is a very shameful thing. In serious cases, the family's reputation will be damaged. Ji Zhen is a protective person, and she can't bear to see people around her being wronged. Rather than waiting for Yu Bojun to meet someone he likes and come to her to break off the engagement, it is better for her to come forward and break off the engagement herself. It is better to bear the stigma of breaking off an engagement than to torment Yu Bojun.

After all, Yu Bojun and she had fought together and sacrificed their lives. In Ji Zhen's opinion, this kind of relationship was even closer than that of a husband and wife.

Thinking this way, Ji Zhen felt that her idea was perfect. But Yu Bojun didn't appreciate it and said coldly:

"Why do you want to break off the engagement? I don't agree."

"Ah? Why? Do you really like me?"

Ji Zhen's mouth moved faster than her brain, and by the time she realized what was happening, it was too late to regret.

Yu Bojun was also silent. After a long while, he finally managed to utter a few words:

"Who wants to like a piece of wood like you! I just want to save face!"

"Oh, really..."

After these words came out, Ji Zhen was really left with embarrassment. She laughed dryly twice and said nothing more. She walked to the table and fiddled with the paperweight on the table. For a moment, she didn't know how to break this terrible situation.

At this moment, the sound of the night wind outside the door suddenly sounded:

"Your Highness, Young Master Yu is here."

Yu Jingxi?

She has ordered a curfew for the entire camp tonight to investigate the forgery of the note. What is he doing here?

Ji Zhen immediately turned to look at Yu Bojun and asked:

"Why is Jingxi coming to Dongdaying at this time? Looking for you?"

Yu Bojun also heard what Ye Feng said, his expression straightened, and he immediately shook his head at Ji Zhen and said:

"The capital has been unsettled these days, so my mother asked Jingxi to stay in the villa temporarily. But tonight you had something to ask me to wait for you in the camp, and I didn't let him know."

Ji Zhen nodded. Yu Bojun knew the rules. He knew what to say and what not to say about military matters, and he didn't need her to tell him otherwise.

"Come in and talk." Ji Zhen said to Ye Feng.
