Chapter 64: The Banquet

Book:The Counterattack of the Princess Published:2024-6-2

Yan Ling knows well about Liang He’s integrity. Although he wants to marry her, he will not take advantage of her at this time.
She thinks carefully and understands the purpose of Liang He’s doing this. But waking up in such a situation, Yan Ling prefers to pass out so as not to be so embarrassed now.
Yan Ling understands, but Liang He misunderstands. Seeing that Yan Ling has been staring at him shocked, Liang He thinks she must misapprehend.
Subconsciously he wants to explain, but he doesn’t know how to start so that he stutters.
“No, listen to me. I took off your clothes, but I haven’t done anything… No, I didn’t intended to do anything. No, it doesn’t seem right…” Liang He doesn’t know what’s wrong with him. He won’t be like this normally.
“I know.” Yan Ling says in a low voice, but she doesn’t know what else to say. After all, it’s a total new situation for her as well.
Hearing this, Liang He is relieved. Then he sees the white skin on her chest when he lowers his head, and he unconsciously turns away immediately.
Yan Ling notices Liang He’s action and finds the slipped dress when she looks down following Liang He’s eyes. She cannot help but blush for embarrassment and wants to cover her chest with her hands, but she couldn’t make it.
Yan Ling is really in a hurry, but at this moment, Liang He becomes a gentleman, turns around and keeps silent. Yan Ling can’t do it well alone, but she’s too embarrassed to ask Liang He for help.
“Ling’er, are you Okay? Did you finish?”
Liang He doesn’t hear anything after a long while and worries if Yan Ling passes out again. He wants to turns around but he is afraid to see her naked again. So he can only ask her anxiously.
“I, I’m feeble. Please help me.” Yan Ling hesitates, but says it anyway.
Liang He turns back and both of them are embarrassed. Finally, under the guidance of Yan Ling, Liang He ties her clothes successfully, although he is clumsy.
“It was easy to take off…” It seems that Liang He wants to ease the awkward atmosphere, so he mutters in a low voice.
He didn’t think much and just blurted out this. But Yan Ling becomes even more embarrassed after hearing this.
Although she is exhausted, Yan Ling immediately raises her head and glares at Liang He, which shows that he more annoyed than terrifying.
Liang He now realizes what he just said and touches his nose to cover his embarrassment. However, seeing Yan Ling’s rosy face, he wants to tease again.
Liang He smiles cunningly and steps forward to pinch Yan Ling’s chin, and says like a bad boy, “Girl, I just saved your life. Do you want to pledge to marry me?”
Yan Ling feels helpless: how could this man become more and more childlike? However, Liang He’s actions and tone are enough to make her face red and her heart beat faster.
“Lecher!” Yan Ling reaches out and pats off Liang He’s hand holding her chin.
Yan Ling isn’t very strong usually, and she is sick now. Although she hits Liang He angrily, it’s still soft.
Liang He retreats his hand following Yan Ling’s movement. After all, he is still worried about her health. He did this just to ease the atmosphere.
Although Yan Ling is smiling, she is not well now. Yan Ling’s face is as pale as sheet, which will be broken at a slight touch. The cold sweat on her forehead also keeps trickling down.
Liang He steps forward and gently hugs Yan Ling to make her feel more comfortable in her arms. In fact, Liang He also understands that Yan Ling cooperates and “fights” with him to make him not that worried.
“Are you finished inside? The medicine soup will be cold if you don’t come out!” Seeing that Liang He and Yan Ling have been in the room for a long time, the old doctor is a little worried and shouts outside.
“Yes. We’ll be out in a minute.” Hearing that the medicine is ready, Liang He quickly holds up Yan Ling and goes out.
“Why do you young people linger so much? You are slower than an old man like me…” the old doctor mutters.
Today he has only two patients. Yan Ling is suffering from cold but Liang He has a mental problem. The first business today doesn’t go well, about which the old doctor feels helpless.
Liang He understands that the doctor is finding faults with him because he was rude and almost beat him. However, Yan Ling still needs him, how could he refute him?
More importantly, Liang He has always been a dignified, polite, steady and capable person in Yan Ling’s mind. It will damage his image if Yan Ling knows he fights with an elder doctor.
Yan Ling has passed out and naturally doesn’t know what happened between them. She thought the doctor is unhappy because she was wet and stained his place.
“Doctor, is my illness serious? How long will it take to recover?” Yan Ling is a little guilty, and tries to change the topic.
The old doctor doesn’t answer directly, but looks at Yan Ling and observes carefully. Then he suddenly says, “You really are a pretty girl. No wonder your husband dares to bring you out only when you are dressed like a man.”
One of them thinks it funny, while the other turns upset. However, Yan Ling and Liang He have a tacit understanding and don’t correct the doctor.
“You haven’t answered my wife’s question.” Liang He asks with some dissatisfaction.
Liang He is now acting as if his treasure has been coveted by others. He is still uncomfortable, although he knows no one can steal his treasure.
“Why are you in such a hurry? It’s just a small problem but you are weak now. Don’t go out these days. You will be fine in four or five days.” When the old doctor talks about serious business, he is authoritative.
“Four or five days…” Yan Ling mummers in a low voice and lowers her head, so that her expression is unreadable.
Yan Ling is still considering. According to the doctor’s advice, she shouldn’t go to the Banquet initiated by Concubine De. However, it seems that she has to go.
Originally, it is okay to refuse because of her sickness. However, Liang Yi is clearly doubtful about her identity.
If Yan Ling happens to be ill and can’t go to the Banquet, she is afraid that Liang Yi would believe it is a coincidence.
