Sentimental General

They talked as if they were the only people around which made De Xue who was standing beside them felt very shy, very embarra.s.sed and was at a loss for words.

Although Hu Ma is a very kind-hearted old woman, her thoughts often terrified De Xue. How can the topic of their conversation on 'Hurricane' have any connection with carrying on one's ancestral line?

"It is no wonder that Miss De is angry!" Hu Ma made a conclusive judgment. "It is Young Master who is at fault!"

"Ai?!" De Xue's green crystal eyes rolled a circle. How did Hu Ma come to this conclusion? Although Hu Ma said that He Mu Li is in the wrong but why did she still feel it is a bit weird?

After listening to the Nanny, He Mu Li stared intensely into the eyes of De Xue which made her inexplicably fl.u.s.tered.

"Oh......." After that, he responded in agreement and accepted Hu Ma's conclusion.

Seeing that Young Master was obedient, Hu Ma then kindly comforted De Xue and told her not to be angry with He Mu Li. She also said that no matter how angry De Xue is with him, scolding the man she likes as a stinky man and a barbaric man was not right.

"I know that some people feel that calling others with names like this is more intimate, but after all, Young Master is Hou-ye and a great General. If other people were to hear of this, it will not be nice. Although this is our own home, in front of so many servants, there are some things that you have to be careful and pay more attention. You still have to give your husband some face, do you understand?" Hu Ma patiently advised her.

De Xue's pair of eyes lifted slightly and could not completely understand Hu Ma's words.

What does Hu Ma mean by the man she likes? When did she like him? And what is the meaning of husband? Who is the husband? First of all, she is not promised in marriage to anyone. Second, she is not married. Why did Hu Ma's words seem to imply that she and He Mu Li had already determined their lifetime together? Ah!.....Misunderstanding! This is a big misunderstanding!!

"Hu Ma, you have misunderstood. It is not like this........"

De Xue was anxious to clarify but Hu Ma only a.s.sumed that she was shy and just smiled. "I understand.......I understand........"

He Mu Li!! De Xue's eyes seeking for help swept to a certain responsible man but he only looked at her with his deep eyes with a dangerous expression.

What do you want to do? With an uneasy feeling, De Xue stared at him nervously.

But He Mu Li just raised one of his eyebrows and then asked. "Hu Ma, do you like Xiao Xue very much?"

When he saw De Xue's cute anxious and timid expression during Hu Ma's patient advice, suddenly a wonderful idea flashed through his mind. An idea which could result in 'Hurricane' having a reliable and stable swordsmith from now onwards and also could make this elderly woman who had taken care of him for so many years, feel happy.

It is a great idea of killing two birds with one stone!

Well.......maybe it is a stone killing three birds........ He can also make this cute little sand cat stay so he can play with her and tease her which makes him very happy.

The more he thought, the more he felt it is a very good idea.

"Of course, I like her. Since Young Master likes her, I will like her and besides, Miss De is beautiful with a good temperament. Who doesn't like her?" In Hu Ma's mind, she will have nothing to say about the girl that Young Master likes and it was difficult for the Young Master to finally take a liking to a girl. In her eyes, De Xue is indeed the best.

Beautiful? He Mu Li slyly looked at De Xue and studied her carefully again. She is indeed charming and attractive but....... good temperament?...... Well, she really suited his taste. He likes her for her bravery in fighting him, being high-spirited and cute......

In fact, it is not that he

When she saw He Mu Li's cold face breaking into a smug smile, De Xue involuntarily stepped back. Suddenly she had a bad premonition in her heart and felt danger in the situation.

"What do you want to do?" She blurted out.

"I just thought you are dressed very nicely today." He is not a person who does not understand emotions or does not have emotions. It is just that he had not cared about it in the past and did not see any reason to think about it.

If she had heard this compliment a little earlier, De Xue would have been very happy. But as it is now, she can only feel inexplicably panicky.

He Mu Li's eyes staring at her were too focused, too deep and too dangerous!!!

Her heart was jumping uncontrollably. Initially, she had wanted to use Hu Ma as a s.h.i.+eld but now she only realized that the astute elderly woman had already disappeared.

As it turned out, when Hu Ma heard He Mu Li praised De Xue, she was quick-witted enough to slip away to give them the opportunity to cultivate their feelings.

Is the elderly woman's skill so vigorously nimble? De Xue was deeply shocked.

"You......don't come over!" Alone and helpless and seeing that He Mu Li was moving closer step by step, De Xue anxiously thought of a way to stop him.

But he ignored her pleas and quickly came to stand beside her. She was engulfed by his warmth bearing down on her with a trace of oppression and De Xue felt his hand reached out to fiddle with her hair. The inexplicable atmosphere made her heart almost jumped out of her throat.

After fiddling for a while, He Mu Li's chin gently touched her forehead and he whispered. "Your hairpin is crooked."

His gentle voice tone which she had never heard before made her cheeks turned red and she looked at him helplessly.

When he saw her blank and pitiful expression, there was a sudden inexplicable feeling in He Mu Li's heart and he had an impulse to have a taste of her. All along he had always been arrogant and in addition, he had always harbored the thought of capturing this kitten, so now he became even more unscrupulous.

He lowered his head and his lips accurately landed on her lips. He could feel the delicate warm lips trembled slightly. He did not violently plunder and he was extremely patient. His warm lips gently and lightly kissed her, savoring her sweet cherry lips.

His hands gripped her soft shoulders and subconsciously she stiffened. Her green eyes were full of panic, fear, and confusion.

De Xue had never been kissed by anyone and she was not knowledgeable of matters between men and women. She had stared at He Mu Li's masculine face that was approaching her and suddenly her lips were covered with very hot lips in a heated kiss.

A strange tremor made her whole body trembled involuntarily. The wet kisses on her lips and the gentle teasing made her confused. If He Mu Li's hands were not gripping her shoulders, she would have collapsed softly on the ground.

What is he doing? Why is he treating her this way?

De Xue knew she should run away, she should shout, she should give this man a slap but perhaps it was his gentleness that was out of her expectation or maybe she was tempted by him. There was this void in her mind that prevented her from reacting.

He could feel her fright and confusion and He Mu Li felt somewhat distressed for her. He gently and lightly kissed her lips like tasting a delicate dessert. He licked and pecked lightly on her lips.

He resisted the urge to invade and taste the sweetness in her mouth because he did not want to frighten her and even more, he did not want to see her cry and forever fear his approach.

He had always been a patient hunter when he hunted for his prey. What's more, this is such a pretty kitten. He is patient and is willing to wait. He believes the wait will be worthwhile. He had seen De Xue's high-spiritedness with his own eyes and he looks forward to the pa.s.sionate beauty and what she will be like in the future.

In this way, the patient and cunning hunter kissed and licked his little prey again. Although this would make him even hungrier but it did not matter. The dessert he tasted today would be enough for him to relish for quite a while.

When He Mu Li released De Xue's lips, her face was red, her green crystal eyes were s.h.i.+ning and she looked at him in confusion.

"Xiao Xue?"

When he called out her name after lifting his lips, only then she reacted as if awakening from her dreams. She s.h.i.+vered and then fled in panic.

He did not give chase as he watched the little figure fleeing into the distance. He only raised his hand to stroke his chin and narrowed his eyes with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Running all the way out of the flower pavilion, De Xue's heart was pounding fiercely and her mind was in a complete mess.

What had happened just now? Did he really kiss her? Why? Can it be, he is really interested in her? How is that possible? She could not believe it.

How could he do this to her? Was he toying with her? However, his kiss was so gentle........

She felt her heart tightened and her face turned pale. Did that unimaginable gentleness of his tempted her? When He Mu Li called her 'Xiao Xue' just now, why did his voice tone make her feel inexplicably fl.u.s.tered?

Why? Why is she in such a panic? Does she not think he is a barbarian? And in the past year, had he not made her suffer enough?

De Xue frowned as she thought about this in a confused state. Her fingers subconsciously touched the lips that he had just kissed. That strange touch and his breath seemed to remain with her. When he kissed her, the blood in her body seemed to flow in the opposite direction, her weak hands and feet had a strange feeling and her heart jumped fiercely with excitement. Until now, her mind had yet to clear up.

Excitement? How could she feel excited by He Mu Li? Doesn't she hate him?

De Xue felt confused and did not understand her own complex mood. It seems other than hating him, she also has many other feelings for him. Like even though she thinks he is overbearing, she could not help but admire him, admire his ability to control the army and his superb swordsmans.h.i.+p.

Because they lived in the same courtyard, she had accidentally discovered He Mu Li usually practices with his sword in the front courtyard every morning. The first time she had accidentally chanced upon him, she had watched him out of curiosity and in the next few days, she was really attracted to him.

When she saw 'Hurricane' in his hands being wielded majestically and mightily, holding that sword with a fierce dazzling aura really matched that man who is known as the Fierce General! She could not help but think of the words 'a precious sword matches a hero' which rightly suited him.

Hence, it is correct to say that he is the Eagle of Mohan Sea of Sand.

Thinking of this, He Mu Li's handsome and masculine face suddenly appeared in De Xue's mind.

She gave a cry of grief and buried her little face in her hands, feeling extremely upset.

What was he thinking about? Why did he kiss her? And what is happening to her? Why does she blush when she thinks of him?
