Flowers Bloom from Battlefield-Chapter 344: Couple

As the sun rose, Jun Hua woke up rather early. Because of her usual schedule, she was used to wake up not long after the dawn. However, drowsiness soon hit her, and she found herself curling up in the bed. Before long, she had fallen asleep again.

On the side, Soujin woke up almost the same time with her. Seeing her sleeping peacefully, he smiled slightly and leaned in to give a kiss on her forehead. Rubbing her head for a moment, he soon retracted his hand back and dressed up. He needed to exercise a bit before he acted on impulse again. It was her first time, so he needed to learn to restrain himself a bit. A couple more hours wouldn't hurt him too.

After a few hours, Jun Hua woke up drowsily. She looked to the side and wondered where Soujin had gone. Moving her body a bit, she frowned. There was a slight pain on her lower body. It was still within her tolerance level as she had experience pain more than this. However, it still felt rather uncomfortable.

"You're awake?" Soujin walked inside the room. His body was sweating hard from his early exercise. Moving to her side, he raised his hand to touch her face only for her evaded it. f𝚛e𝚎𝘄𝒆𝚋𝚗𝚘ѵ𝑒𝚕.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"Wash your hand first," Jun Hua said.

Soujin moved his hand and called the servants to come inside. Xia and Xiao Yun came to serve Jun Hua. When they came in, they averted their eyes from her, afraid to look at her beautiful body as they helped her to wear the clothes.

Although Jun Hua felt tired and her body was in slight pain, she still stood up straight like usual. Because of that, it didn't take a long time for her to finish dressing up.

"What time is it?" Jun Hua asked.

"Around ten in the morning," Soujin answered.

"What, it's already so late?" Jun Hua was surprised. She hadn't thought that she will sleep in that long, Soujin's grandfather and mother must have waited for them. She wondered whether her lack of sleep the day before affected her ability to wake up early today. It was rare for her to wake up so late.

"There is no rush, drink the porridge first," Soujin instructed Lou to serve the porridge.

Seeing that the one serving was Lou, Jun Hua wondered whether this man was a servant or a hidden bodyguard. However, she rarely saw anyone other than this man around Soujin, though it didn't mean there was none.

"But, they are already waiting for us," Jun Hua took the bowl as she complained.

"No worries, my grandfather would be in a heated debate with General Jun Zhenxian," Soujin answered lightly.

As Jun Hua drank the porridge, she thought about it. Well, it was rather correct since the two of them certainly couldn't stay in one place. But, what did her grandfather do in this residence? She better not think about it any longer or she will certainly wished to bury her head on the ground deeper.

Finishing the porridge, she walked with Soujin to the hall. Seeing Qin Shie's wry smile along with Nanglong Souka and Jun Zhenxian quarrelling on the side, the two of them sighed. There was no peace wherever these two old men stayed.

"Yamin, please send my grandfather off. I will visit him three days later."

This was the custom of the marriage. On the third day after the marriage, the bride will return to their family for one day. Hearing his granddaughter's instruction, Jun Zhenxian can only tone down and go home.

Nanglong Souka laughed seeing his old friend's back, "You better not return here, you old man!"

"If you're being this shameless, Grandfather, you can return too and only my mother will be served," Soujin smiled, yet there was a threat behind the seemingly amiable smile.

Nanglong Souka grunted, but he sat down on the chair back as they proceeded with the ceremony. After everything has finished, Jun Hua walked away with Soujin.

"Compared with most of the girls, she looked fine," Nanglong Souka commented after the two of them had long gone. 𝘧𝑟𝘦𝒆w𝚎𝙗nov𝘦𝗹.𝐜o𝓶

Qin Shie certainly knew what Nanglong Souka implied, so she shot him a cold glare, "Father is too idle this day. I think the court has sent Father a lot of works lately."

Actually, those jobs were for Soujin after he finished with the ceremony. However, seeing that Nanglong Souka has the time to scrutinize her son's bride, she chose to push them all to him. No matter what, she favored the girl and supported her to be with her son.

Hearing the sharp voice from Qin Shie, Nanglong Souka was stunned. He wondered how that simple sentence could possibly offend her. Seeing the cold glint on her eyes, he knew that his workload had just doubled because of his careless mistake.

Soujin took Jun Hua to stroll around the residence. This was his residence, the one the previous Emperor of Ming Kingdom gifted. Even though so, Soujin chose to modify and rebuilt many things before he left it and finished it in the last few months. He won't accept things that emperor bestowed so easily.

"The Ming City was really beautiful. Do you think the Long Han City will be able to contend if they are being compared?"

Soujin knew that the present Long Han City still lacked the palace and splendor a big city should have. The building Yan used as the court for the time being was the official place. The palace won't be finished anytime soon, so Yan wanted to use the one in the Ming City for the time being.

"In the next few years, the Long Han City will thrive better than the Ming City," Soujin said calmly.

"I see," Jun Hua smiled. "I want to see it when it happens."

"I will take you there after everything is finished," Soujin promised.

Jun Hua nodded her head. Looking at the garden in front of her, she admired the way they were placed. She was not an expert, but she knew that the people must have taken a long time to finish something so good.

"Have they found the trace?" Jun Hua was not that idle during her time to prepare for her marriage. She was still collecting news because she knew that there was someone out there who was hiding and waiting to strike them.

With Jun Hua changing the topic into a serious one, Soujin's face also changed slightly. Despite feeling slightly regretful that their time will be interrupted, he still answered her, "There is a trace, but it will be dangerous."

"Can I come over?" Jun Hua asked.

In all honestly, Soujin didn't want Jun Hua to place herself in any danger anymore. However, he knew that she would not stay idle even if he said that she can't go. With her ability, it will be a child play for her to get out from this residence without anyone knowing when he was away.

"We will depart in around a week. The others need their preparation too," Soujin leaned in and kissed her forehead. Besides, he still hadn't had enough of her company.

Jun Hua nodded her head, not knowing that the curiosity will lead her to uncover a dark secret of her family.
