Ye Chen ate his meal so fragrantly!
Now, Xu Qingling would roam around the top of the city, then head back to the camp to cook for Ye Chen, seeing him eat up even the last bits of her cooking gave her an inexplicable sense of achievement.
There was a time when Xu Qingling learned cooking, she had anticipated this very scene.
"She couldn't really like me, could she?" Ye Chen thought as he ate.
"Why are you eating and giving me that silly smile?" Xu Qingling chided.
Ye Chen was gnawing on a pig's trotter, but his eyes were fixed on Xu Qingling, making the beautiful general a bit nervous.
"I think you're pretty!" Ye Chen said as he gnawed on the meat.
"..."
"Ye Chen, are you married?" Xu Qingling suddenly asked.
As Xu Qingling's feelings for Ye Chen grew, she became interested in his personal affairs and wanted to gossip a bit.
"Yeah, I've met my in-laws already, just haven't registered yet," Ye Chen said.
"You call that being married?" Xu Qingling's heart stirred.
"Mind your own business," Ye Chen glared at her and retorted.
Speaking of marriage, Ye Chen also had his difficulties, as registering a marriage meant he could only marry one wife, but with so many women around him, it was impossible to marry them all at once.
All the women liked Ye Chen, and no matter whom he married, it would cause dissatisfaction among the others.
So what Ye Chen could do now was to stabilize the current situation, wait quietly, and consider marrying when a man could marry multiple wives.
"If you're not married, that doesn't count as a wife, they're just friends of the opposite sex!" Xu Qingling pointedly said.
"..."
"Ye Chen, do you have many women by your side?" Xu Qingling asked, voicing her curiosity.
In Xu Qingling's impression, Ye Chen was a despicable rogue, and if any woman liked him, it was considered a stroke of immense fortune.
But still, Ye Chen strutted as if he's got more than one woman.
"About seven or eight, I guess; I never really counted them, but it's definitely not over ten!" Ye Chen unashamedly admitted.
"Shameless!" Xu Qingling said sourly.
"..."
"Xu Qingling, you're acting weird today," Ye Chen said, somewhat surprised. "You keep asking about my personal matters, are you interested in me?"
"Do me a favor, look in the mirror first next time you talk like that!" Xu Qingling rolled her eyes at him.
Women often say the opposite of what they feel, and Xu Qingling was no exception.
She asked Ye Chen so many questions because she had a small crush on him.
Xu Qingling asked Ye Chen so many questions, it made her feel a lot more relaxed, as Ye Chen didn't have any officially wedded wife.
However, Xu Qingling felt a bit depressed; she was quite satisfied with Ye Chen's conditions, but her own situation was a bit complicated.
"Xu, are you married?" Ye Chen asked.
It was only fair to reciprocate since Xu Qingling asked so many personal questions, Ye Chen wasn't about to let himself be at a disadvantage.
"No," Xu Qingling said simply.
"Have you had a boyfriend?" Ye Chen continued asking.
"It seems not," Xu Qingling blinked.
"..." Ye Chen couldn't continue asking.
"I'm already engaged!" Xu Qingling suddenly declared.
"You're engaged?" Ye Chen exclaimed.
"..."
Xu Qingling came from a distinguished military family and was as beautiful as a flower, which made her difficult to marry off. Now, she had become a leftover woman among fighter jets.
However, just six months ago, Xu Qingling's family had forced a marriage upon her!
Her fiancé was very accomplished, even more so in his career than Xu Qingling.
Under pressure from her family, Xu Qingling had gotten engaged in a daze, but she didn't like him at all.
But that man really liked Xu Qingling. The beauty and martial spirit she possessed could stir the hearts of all men.
Eventually, Xu Qingling grew impatient and fled to Egypt. Otherwise, with her family background, why would she end up in such a godforsaken place?
"You're already engaged and about to get married, yet here you are in Egypt, liking me. That's really not cool!" Ye Chen glanced at Xu Qingling.
"I don't like you!" Xu Qingling snapped.
"You hang around me all day and even cook twenty-eight dishes for me every meal. Isn't that because you like me?" Ye Chen retorted, his eyes wide.
"..."
"Actually, I don't have any feelings for that man. The engagement was arranged by my family," Xu Qingling attempted to explain.
"But you agreed to it. If you hadn't agreed, how could the engagement have happened?" Ye Chen said sourly. "You're even wearing a diamond ring, yet you act so innocent. I don't even want to deal with you!"
"Are you jealous now that you know I have a fiancé?" Xu Qingling, touching the ring on her hand, said with a cryptic smile.
"You're overthinking it," Ye Chen said indifferently.
"Alright, I'm done eating. You can clean up the plates now."
After finishing the feast, Ye Chen wiped his mouth contentedly, letting the beauty and general wait on him.
"Jerk!" Xu Qingling gritted her teeth in anger. Ye Chen was acting all high and mighty, treating her like a maid.
"Xu Qingling, you're so disappointing. Ye Chen is so bad, why do you like him!"
Xu Qingling was washing the dishes, her face full of self-loathing.
"General Xu!"
While Xu Qingling was lost in her thoughts, a middle-aged warrior appeared suddenly.
"General Li, why are you here? Did the zombies attack the city?" Xu Qingling snapped to attention, reviving her general's demeanor.
"Mr Ji just contacted me and wants to speak to you on the phone," General Li said.
"Who's Mr Ji?" Xu Qingling asked.
"..." General Li was momentarily dumbfounded.
"Oh, I remember now, he's my fiancé," Xu Qingling slapped her forehead, remembering such a person.
"..."
"I'm not familiar with him, I won't take the call," Xu Qingling said flatly.
Xu Qingling suddenly remembered something; this General Li was part of her fiancé's camp and was likely spying on her for him.
"That might not be a good idea. Mr Ji really misses you," General Li said, somewhat uncomfortably.
"If he misses me, let him come to Egypt!" Xu Qingling said with a cold laugh.
"Also, I really don't understand how such a big man can be so afraid of dying," Xu sneered heavily. "Right, General Li?"
General Li's expression stiffened, feeling like he was being dragged into the water.
Mr Ji, Xu Qingling's fiancé, was indeed an outstanding man.
However, Mr Ji was very much afraid of dying, a fact well known in their circle.
Since General Li belonged to Mr Ji's faction, he knew about Mr Ji's fear but couldn't openly admit it.
"General Li, please leave quickly, don't keep me from washing the dishes," Xu Qingling said. "Also, tell Ji Wuchang that if he really misses me, he should come to Egypt to find me, and stop with all the useless gestures!"
