He's courting disaster! A coward forced himself on a tyrannical warlord.

Ruan Mianmian also wanted to follow.

Unfortunately, after squatting for a long time, my legs became stiff and numb shortly after standing up.

She could only move by taking tiny, inching steps, relying on her incredible willpower.

Li Chenzhou took a few steps and then turned his head.

The small figure wrapped in the coat was struggling forward in an extremely comical and pitiful posture, like a clumsy little penguin, with its face scrunched up.

He reached his hand behind him, his tone somewhat impatient.

"Hurry up, I've never seen a woman who dawdles more than you."

Ruan Mianmian was on the verge of tears; she had already used all her strength to move.

Besides, she couldn't control the numbness in her legs.

She was internally ranting and raving.

[Do you think I don't want to walk faster? My legs are stiff and numb, like two wooden stakes. Every step is excruciatingly painful.]

Then he added another sentence.

[Waaaaah, if all else fails, just cut off this useless leg!]

As Li Chenzhou listened to her inner wailing and looked at her pitiful appearance, his expression softened.

He took two steps back to her.

Without saying a word, he bent down, put one arm under her knees, and used the other arm to firmly support her back, easily lifting her up.

Ruan Mianmian felt a sudden dizziness, and then she fell into a firm and warm embrace.

His broad chest radiated warmth through the fabric of his military uniform, and his neck exuded a constant stream of heat, making him seem like a walking heater.

Fearing she might move around, Li Chenzhou sternly threatened her.

"Hold on tight, you deserve to fall!"

Although he spoke harshly, the arm holding her was unusually steady.

Ruan Mianmian felt like she was dreaming.

This was the second time Li Chenzhou had hugged her.

This legendary, ruthless King Yama is quite different from what she imagined.

She dared not think too much and could only obediently hug his neck tightly.

I dared not move an inch.

Li Chenzhou glanced at the woman in his arms out of the corner of his eye.

They are both obedient and docile.

A satisfied smile curved the corners of his mouth.

He didn't say anything more, picked her up, and strode towards the gate of the governor's mansion.

Lieutenant Li followed closely behind the military governor, staring in disbelief at everything, yet also feeling that it was all within his expectations.

He thought to himself, "The warlord is really just saying one thing and meaning another."

Mingming was heartbroken to see Miss Ruan frozen stiff.

They draped clothes over me and carried me around in their arms.

But he said it was his own fault for falling.

You'll know once you actually fall; those who are stubborn deserve it.

soon.

The three arrived at the gate of the governor's mansion.

The guards were already standing at attention, but when they saw the person the governor was holding, their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

The exposed, old-fashioned hair bun, the dowdy floral cotton trousers and sleeves.

Isn't that the country bumpkin with floral prints they chased away?!

The soldiers were filled with turmoil.

No wonder that old woman refused to leave; she had come specifically to wait for the warlord.

But the warlord's taste is just too... too unique.

When Li Chenzhou saw the soldiers standing there dumbfounded and not opening the door, his face instantly darkened.

Lieutenant Li quickly stepped forward and urged him sternly.

"The warlord is back at his residence! Open the gates now!"

The soldiers shuddered at the warlord's cold gaze and hurriedly opened the heavy iron gate.

Ruan Mianmian felt utterly humiliated.

She buried her face in Li Chenzhou's neck, adopting an ostrich-like mentality.

[You can't see me, you can't see me, boohoo, this is so embarrassing.]

Li Chenzhou held Ruan Mianmian in his arms, a slight smile playing on his lips, and patted her back reassuringly.

Then, wearing military boots, he stepped steadily into the mansion.

Lieutenant Li was the last to enter. As he passed the terrified guards, he mouthed three words.

"Miss Ruan."

The soldiers instantly realized that it was Miss Ruan.

Can…

One soldier frantically gestured to his comrade with his eyes, "Miss Ruan, why are you dressed like that, and your face is all smeared like the bottom of a pot?"

Another soldier gave him a warning look, "Shut up! You dare discuss the warlord's affairs? Do you think your head is too safe?!"

Everyone immediately straightened their backs and dared not look at it again.

……

Li Chenzhou placed Ruan Mianmian on the sofa.

Ruan Mianmian looked around the huge and magnificent living room with curiosity.

The walls are adorned with magnificent oil paintings, the floor is covered with a fine carpet, and the furniture is a complete set of mahogany furniture.

Even the crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling looks very expensive, with its multiple layers.

I used to think the Ruan family was a wealthy family.

Compared to the Governor's Mansion, it looks incredibly shabby now.

Li Chenzhou sat down in the main seat on the sofa, deftly removed his gloves and military cap, and casually placed them aside.

Uncle Cong immediately and earnestly served two cups of steaming hot tea.

"Miss Ruan, have some tea to warm yourself up."

Ruan Mianmian immediately recognized the voice as that of the kind uncle on the phone and nodded gratefully.

"Thanks."

She was really thirsty and really wanted to drink some hot tea to warm herself up.

She picked up the bone china teacup, ignoring the heat, and gulped down the tea.

The warm liquid went down my throat, and the warmth spread quickly, finally warming my body up.

After solving the cold problem, she started frantically brainstorming ideas for the mission.

[What should I do? It's almost 11 o'clock. How can I ask Li Chenzhou to have dinner with me?]

What if he thinks I've lost my mind and just pulls out a gun and shoots me?

She subconsciously looked down at her ridiculous floral dress.

There was no appreciation whatsoever, only silent wailing.

[Help! Dressed like this, squatting by the roadside in the dead of night, just to find Li Chenzhou to have dinner with... Who would believe this?!]

Even if my eldest sister saw this, she would definitely think I was possessed by a ghost, and in the end, she would just throw a handful of glutinous rice at me and be done with it.

Li Chenzhou listened silently to her chattering thoughts.

It turns out that the task this time was to have dinner together.

That's easy.

However, if he were to speak up, then he would be the one possessed by a ghost and becoming a lunatic.

He, a dignified military governor, not only brought a woman dressed as an old rural woman back to his mansion, but also wanted to have dinner with her late at night.

This is no longer something that can be solved with just a handful of glutinous rice.

Let's ask this timid girl first and see what she has to say.

At that time.

He can just continue the conversation.
