Chapter 266 Going All the Way

The return to Jinling was forced to be scheduled for three days later, but recalling Song Jinglan's actions yesterday, Jiang Yuyue felt a little scared.

This person, like her, is vengeful; if she were to let him expose her disguise, she would likely not fare well.

Therefore, in order to avoid Song Jinglan, Jiang Yuyue has stopped going to the east of the city to take care of the patients these days. After all, the patients' conditions have stabilized, and the doctor by Song Jinglan's side is more than capable of handling them.

After handing over the task to someone else, Jiang Yuyue used the excuse of not having enough medicinal herbs and having to go out to collect them to leave early and return late at night.

Although she was tired, she managed to avoid that person for two consecutive days. Thinking that she could return to Jinling after just one more day, Jiang Yuyue finally had some hope. She waited outside until nightfall before carrying a basket of medicinal herbs toward Guangyitang.

Just as she reached the entrance of Guangyitang, she suddenly felt someone pull on the basket on her back, and an ominous premonition immediately welled up in her heart.

Jiang Yuyue took a light breath, turned around, and sure enough, met Song Jinglan's dark eyes.

"It's so late, and the general is still patrolling outside."

Jiang Yuyue turned her head away, her smile somewhat forced. "What a coincidence."

"unfortunately."

Song Jinglan's expression was indifferent, and his voice was completely flat. "I'm waiting for you."

These words made Jiang Yuyue's expression even more subtle. She could only laugh awkwardly twice. "Why is the general waiting for me? If it's to treat my wounds, the army doctors are highly skilled. Surely there's no need for them to wait for me?"

"Young Master He's medical skills are excellent; my injuries have fully healed."

Song Jinglan's slightly scrutinizing gaze swept across her face. "I came here today specifically to present Young Master He with a thank-you gift."

Thank you?

Without a second thought, Jiang Yuyue knew he was up to no good and instinctively refused.

"I told you long ago there's no need for thanks. Military affairs are busy, General, you should go back soon..."

Before she could finish speaking, Song Jinglan took the basket off her back and placed it aside. Without saying a word, he grabbed her by the back of her collar and leaped into the air.

Jiang Yuyue did not intend to struggle, but even though she had some martial arts skills, she was naturally no match for Song Jinglan. Seeing that struggling was useless, she simply calmed down and patiently decided to see what this person was going to do.

The two figures swept across half of Shuozhou City and soon arrived at a back mountain outside the city. Seeing that the place was deserted, Jiang Yuyue nervously swallowed.

Could it be that Song Jinglan is planning to take advantage of the fact that no one is around to...

"General, I have done you a great service, haven't I?"

As soon as Jiang Yuyue's feet touched the ground, she instinctively took a few steps back. "You brought me here, are you planning to repay kindness with enmity?!"

"Treasonous retribution?"

Song Jinglan slowly approached her, and the invisible pressure forced her to take several steps back. "Young Master He is probably judging a gentleman by the standards of a petty person."

"I only heard that Young Master He has been going out to collect herbs every day for the past two days. I have come several times but have been turned away each time. I thought that you must be working hard from dawn till dusk. So I heard that there is an excellent hot spring outside Shuozhou City that can relieve fatigue. That's why I kindly brought you here."

spa! ?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuyue noticed that there was indeed a pool of water in front of her that was slowly emitting steam. Her alarm bells went off instantly. Sure enough, he had no good intentions!

"I see."

Jiang Yuyue smiled knowingly, "Thank you very much, General, but I won't go to the hot spring. I don't really like being with other people..."

Before she could finish speaking, Song Jinglan suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her staggeringly to his side.

"This general and Young Master He are both men, so why can't we be frank with each other?"

Song Jinglan's lips curled slightly as she said, enunciating each word clearly, "Or is it that Young Master He harbors some unspeakable secret?"

The sudden closeness made Jiang Yuyue's heart pound. Her mind raced, desperately trying to come up with a reason to reject him.

"Ahem... Actually, I have a hidden illness."

Jiang Yuyue could only react to each move as it came, and she actually came up with a seemingly reasonable excuse: "General, you may not know this, but the reason I haven't remarried after my wife passed away is because three years ago, when I was out gathering herbs, I accidentally fell and, by sheer coincidence, injured my manhood..."

"I really don't want to refuse the general's good intentions today, but I really don't want others to see this difficult secret. Please forgive me, general."

Upon hearing this, Song Jinglan's meaningful gaze swept over her, but he did not dispel his suspicions because of the "hidden illness" she mentioned.

"But I have a rare good intention, and it would be quite displeasing for me to be let down for no reason."

Song Jinglan said calmly, "Since you have a hidden ailment, I will not force you to take off your clothes and bathe. This hot spring is really nice, so Young Master He, please go into the water fully clothed."

If she could outrun him, Jiang Yuyue would have really wanted to turn around and run away.

She truly hadn't expected this person to be so unreasonable. She'd already mentioned her hidden ailment, yet he insisted she soak in the hot spring fully clothed!

Jiang Yuyue glanced down at her clothes. Fortunately, she was wearing a dark color today, so even if it got wet, the traces of the breast wrap were not visible.

The premise is that Song Jinglan is not shameless enough to forcibly strip a "man's" clothes off her.

When she looked up, Song Jinglan was already taking off his clothes. His strong and muscular body was exposed to her without any cover. A moment later, he was only wearing a pair of underpants.

"What? What are you standing there for, Young Master He? Do I have to invite you down?"

Song Jinglan casually stepped into the hot spring. Jiang Yuyue couldn't help but twitch her lips at the sight. This man was undressing in front of her without any restraint, which was really... indecent.

However, she really couldn't find any other reason to refuse. They had already reluctantly allowed her to go into the water fully clothed. If she refused again, wouldn't that be blatantly telling them that she had a problem?

Jiang Yuyue made a snap decision, deciding to go all the way. She closed her eyes, took off her shoes, and followed them into the hot spring.

It must be said that the water in this hot spring is indeed quite good, but unfortunately she doesn't have the leisure to enjoy it now.

She hadn't taken off her clothes; once they were wet, they clung stickily to her skin, causing considerable discomfort. Amidst the misty steam, Song Jinglan's gaze blatantly swept over her chest.

Jiang Yuyue was increasingly glad that she had worn dark clothes today, so that even if he stared at her like that, she wouldn't be able to find any flaws.
