As she thought about this, she lifted her head and gazed directly at Huoguo. A few seconds later, she finally voiced the doubt that had been lurking in her heart.
"Boss, this isn't as simple as it seems, right?"
"What do you think?"
With a sigh, Lian Qiao laid her head against his chest again and muttered in a muffled voice, "General Zhuo wants you as an Ascendant Dragon Groom, but actually doesn't want me to attend that Pantao Feast. He deliberately schemed to send me away, didn't he?"

"What others do is irrelevant to us. In the next few days, I need to focus on sending out wedding invitations. Once that's done and you return, you'll be the obedient bride!"
"Mhm!" Her little hand unconsciously placed on his chest, her fingernails played with the buttons of his military uniform as Lian Qiao lightly affirmed.
