Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Duan Yanhao looked seriously at Bai Yaoyao. “Don’t treat yourself badly. If you insist on not telling me, at least don’t torture yourself.”
Sometimes, when he saw Bai Yaoyao working hard to train herself, it always looked as if she was tormenting herself. How could his heart not ache at that scene?
Bai Yaoyao pushed Duan Yanhao away and replied, “I can endure it.”
Duan Yanhao nodded his head and did not bother arguing with her. He pointed at the sofa beside her, indicating for her to sit.
Bai Yaoyao looked at the time and said, “I still have to return for dinner.”
“I will accompany you for dinner. Take a seat first.”
At that moment, it seemed as if Duan Yanhao was giving an order as a major, so she could not refuse to listen to him.
She could only sit on the sofa obediently.
Looking at Bai Yaoyao, who sat on the sofa quietly, Duan Yanhao’s stiff expression softened momentarily. His tone became more gentle too. “Drink some tea and sit here for a while.”
After speaking, Duan Yanhao left to who knows where.
After a long while, he got someone to bring in a tub of water and place it at the side. He asked Bai Yaoyao to come over to soak her feet.
“What is this?” Looking at the black colored water, Bai Yaoyao felt slightly confused.
Duan Yanhao explained, “This is medicated water. It’s good for your feet.”
Hearing his words, Bai Yaoyao’s head shot up to look at him. Although his expression was stiff, she was touched by his actions because there were indeed blisters on her feet.
She no longer thought too much into it. Instead, she pulled the tub under her feet. Without feeling embarrassed, she removed her shoes and socks before soaking her feet.
Although it stung a little at the start, the temperature was just nice, and it felt good soaking her feet in it.
The water was warm. With her feet submerged, it felt as if the warmth seeped from her feet to her heart.
“Duan Yanhao, thank you. It’s the first time someone treated me this well.” Her voice was laced thickly with appreciation.
Duan Yanhao’s lips curled up slightly before he asked, “You’re no longer calling me ‘Major’?”
“You were the one who ignored me.”
“So, when you entered just now, you were making things difficult because you were angry?”
Bai Yaoyao pouted. “I wouldn’t dare. After all, you’re an officer.”
“You’re angry again. I got someone to prepare dinner. Once you’re done soaking your feet, I’ll get them to bring the food here. Do eat more.”
Bai Yaoyao widened her eyes and said seriously, “But, Duan Yanhao, you’re a major. If you treat a subordinate like this, it may cause problems.”
Duan Yanhao couldn’t help but laugh lightly. “This is not Country A, nor is it Country E, so you don’t have to worry.”
He belonged to a military family, so the army’s power was wielded by his family. Bai Yaoyao’s concern was unnecessary.
After soaking her feet, Duan Yanhao got someone to bring the tub away. After Bai Yaoyao washed her hands, the food was served.
Looking at the feast on the table, Bai Yaoyao could not help but swallow. It was such a treat—they were all her favorites.
At that moment, Bai Yaoyao’s eyes were already shining brightly like the moon.
Looking at Bai Yaoyao’s expression, Duan Yanhao coughed softly. “They’re all prepared for you. Eat all you want. Actually, it would be a waste if you can’t finish it.”
Taking into account her ceaseless training, alongside with his subordinate’s report that she ate little, he was worried that her frail body wouldn’t be able to withstand it. That was why he wanted to improve her meals today.
Bai Yaoyao furrowed her brows and looked seriously at Duan Yanhao. “Are all these really for me?” She had to confirm once again before she started to dig in.
