Chapter 208 He Always Says the Wrong Thing

Mu Ai never expected that his meeting with Wen Yao would be in such an unexpected situation.

There have been a lot of things going on in the palace and the capital these past two days, and the Marquis is completely focused on Miss Xu and has no time to take care of anything else, so he can't leave her alone.

So he wanted to ask Mu Lu to go over and serve him as soon as possible and not waste time here.

But he was so focused on chasing the man away that he didn't remember that his collar was not fastened when he stood up.

As the door opened, the night wind blew and the shirt slid down her shoulders and neck.

Not only was his entire chest exposed, but also most of his back was exposed.

Seeing Wen Yao so suddenly, he was the first to panic. Without saying anything more, he quickly turned around and tried to put on his undershirt, but the whole thing was hanging on his arm, and the slightest movement of his hand caused the wound to be pulled.

He groaned, turned around quickly, and motioned Mu Lu to come back to help.

At this moment, Mu Lu stepped out of the door.

He glanced at Mu Ai, who was in the room with his clothes disheveled and an embarrassed look on his face, and then looked at Wen Yao, who was standing outside the door with an awkward look on his face.

Suddenly he laughed:

"Oh! Miss Wen Yao's arrival is just in time. The Marquis has too much to do and needs help. I'll go over and take care of him. Brother Ai, please help take care of him here."

After saying that, he ran away.

Before leaving, he did not forget to wink at Mu Ai: Brother Ai, I can only help you up to this point.

Mu Ai: “…” This bastard!

In the room, Mu Ai tried hard to pull up his clothes, but the pain still made him gasp.

Wen Yao, who had been feeling somewhat embarrassed just now, immediately walked in upon hearing the voice: "How is Lieutenant General Ai? Knowing that you were injured, the young lady sent this servant to attend to you."

Her voice was soft, just as gentle as she was.

But her respectful and humble attitude towards him... made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Just some minor injuries."

I saw him still enduring the pain while talking to him.

Wen Yao said no more and went straight forward to check the injury.

Then, her brows slightly furrowed: Chu He's palm showed no mercy at all, and Mu Ai's chest was black and purple, with faint traces of blood.

The purple and black color was shocking under the candlelight. "Did Doctor Shu leave any medicine?" She had asked before coming here. Shu Qing had already examined Mu Ai's injuries.

Mu Ai nodded and shifted his gaze to the purple medicine bottle on the table.

Wen Yao picked it up, opened the bottle, and a strong, dark smell of medicine came out.

She looked at Mu Ai and said, "Deputy General Ai, please take a seat. I will apply the medicine to you right away."

Mu Ai was more than a head taller than her, and his injuries were on his shoulders and neck, so she couldn't apply medicine unless he sat down.

Seeing her eyes full of sincerity, Mu Ai felt a little uncomfortable. He shook his head slightly and said, "I can do it myself."

After saying that, he took the medicine bottle from Wen Yao's hand, then turned over and used his fingers to pick up a little and apply it to the wound.

Seeing him struggling, Wen Yao lowered her head slightly and said softly, "This servant... won't hurt you."

Mu Ai was startled when he heard this. He turned around and took in the girl's expression. Seeing her lowered eyes, he knew she had misunderstood.

Sensitive little girl, does she think he dislikes her?

How could that be... He just didn't want the fishy-smelling ointment to bother her.

So he patiently explained, "Don't overthink it. I don't think you're clumsy. It's just that getting injured is common among us soldiers, and most of us treat these minor injuries ourselves."

His words were not convincing to Wen Yao.

She still lowered her head. "That's simply because there's no one in the army to serve you. Now is different from the past... I was ordered to come and serve you. This is my duty, and it's my responsibility."

She kept calling him a slave, and Mu Ai felt inexplicably gloomy in his heart.

However, he was not good at dealing with women, and he didn't know how to explain it at the moment, so he simply handed the medicine bottle back to Wen Yao: "Thank you." Wen Yao's eyebrows lit up and she quickly took it with both hands.

Seeing all this, Mu Ai felt even more uncomfortable.

The girl in front of me is introverted and stubborn. Once she makes up her mind, ten cows may not be able to pull her back.

On a rainy night in the hunting palace, in order to boil water for her young lady, she refused to give up even though she was almost soaked by the rain.

He found such a stubborn girl very interesting, so when he was in the hunting palace and Xu Mansion, he would tease her from time to time.

And she is very bold and opinionated.

In Yuzhou City, the county lord fell into the mountains and her whereabouts were unknown. They were short of manpower and he himself was injured and unable to lead anyone into the mountains, so she dared to take the initiative to impersonate the county lord and force the prefect to send people to rescue.

You know, if this matter is exposed, it will be a capital crime!

But such a woman, now restrained her edge in front of him, behaved as if she was just an ordinary maid who came here on orders. How could he not feel uncomfortable?

Subconsciously, he said, "You don't have to declare yourself a slave in front of me."

When Wen Yao heard this, he paused slightly.

Does he... mind his status as a slave?

But she is still a maid after all.

For no reason, a sour feeling welled up in her heart.

He replied in a muffled voice, "Yes."

Seeing the girl's unhappy face, Mu Ai was slightly startled:

Did he just say the wrong thing?

He wanted to ask clearly, but saw the girl suddenly approaching.

He was so frightened that his body stiffened.

The girl smoothed the ointment on the wound with her fingertips and blew gently, hoping to dry it quickly. However...

The breath was warm and itchy, passing over Mu Rong's chest like a feather, and finally dissipated into the air.

Mu Aiton felt dry mouth and tongue.

His Adam's apple rolled subconsciously, but the girl continued to blow air without feeling anything.

The slight tingling sensation almost made him lose control.

Mu Ai hurriedly took a step back.

Wen Yao: “…”

Mu Ai said hurriedly: "It will be done naturally in a while."

As expected... he still dislikes her.

Wen Yao felt a little lost. She stood up and walked to the side to pour a cup of hot tea for Mu Ai: "Doctor Shu said you need to drink more water."

Mu Ai took the tea bowl and Wen Yao stepped aside.

Mu Ai felt a little nervous at this moment. What had he done wrong?

After thinking it over and over again, I still couldn't figure it out, so I could only drink the tea in my hand.

Wen Yao filled his glass again.

Mu Ai looked at her face. In his impression, Wen Yao was always amiable and rarely looked as gloomy as she was today.

So, when Wen Yao filled his fourth cup of tea, he finally asked, "Are you angry?"

"I dare not," Wen Yao said with an unclear expression, and then added, "The medicine has dried up."

Muai: "..."

The sudden words made him confused for a moment.

Following Wen Yao's gaze, he lowered his head to look at his exposed chest, and heard her say again: "The medicine has dried, Deputy General Ai can put on his clothes."

Mu Ai's face froze slightly when he heard this.
