Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 348

Chapter 348: Jealousy, Fear
The maidservants knelt on the floor and lowered their heads, “Please forgive us for being late, Eldest Young Lady.”

Duan Yixin was surprised by their sudden apology and said, “Get up quickly. Don’t kneel to me for no reason. I don’t like it.”

The maidservants exchanged glances and said in unison, “Yes, Eldest Young Lady.”

After they stood up, Duan Yixin asked, “Why did you suddenly kneel to apologize? Isn’t this the first time we met?”

A maidservant stepped forward, saluted Duan Yixin, lowered her eyes, and said, “Answering Eldest Young Lady. We are late and should be punished.”

Duan Yixin turned to look out the large circular window and found that the sky had just changed color. There was no sunrise yet, and it was still very early.

She looked back at the maidservant and said, “I just got up early today. Usually, I wake up around six in the morning. From now on, just come after I wake up. I don’t like others to disturb my sleep.”

The maidservant bowed and said, “Yes, Eldest Young Lady.”

After telling them some things they needed to know, Duan Yixin asked them to return to work and then went to the main courtyard. Today, she planned to have breakfast with Xie Yanghui. Seeing him so happy when they were eating together yesterday, Duan Yixin felt she should eat with him in the future.

On the way to the main courtyard, Duan Yixin met Zhan Wenmin. Seeing him walking in a hurry, she approached him and asked, “Uncle Zhan, what’s the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?”

When Zhan Wenmin saw her, he stopped and said, “Good morning, Eldest Young Lady. Yan Junwang just visited us and is waiting in the main hall. I’m on my way to report to Master about this.”

Hearing this, Duan Yixin’s eyes lit up. She smiled and said, “Uncle Zhan, I’m going to see General Xuan first.”

Before Zhan Wenmin could say anything more, Duan Yixin had already left in a hurry. Seeing the happy expression on her face, Zhan Wenmin could only shake his head and went to inform Xie Yanghui about Xuan Ruiquan’s sudden visit.

In the main hall, the servants served Xuan Ruiquan tea and small cakes before leaving. Seeing Duan Yixin coming in a hurry, they all walked aside and greeted her.

“Eldest Young Lady.”

Duan Yixin nodded to them and walked into the main hall. Seeing her fiancé, she smiled and greeted him, “General Xuan, good morning.”

Xuan Ruiquan put down his teacup and stood up. He reached out to hold her hand and asked, “Why did you get up so early?”

Duan Yixin chuckled, “Aren’t you earlier than me?”

After saying that, she pulled him to sit down and asked, “Have you made an appointment to meet You Xiaocheng today?”

Xuan Ruiquan nodded, “Yes.”

Seeing a smile blooming on her face, Xuan Ruiquan pouted and asked, “Xin’er, are you so happy that you are going to meet him today?”

When Duan Yixin heard this question, she glanced at him and moved closer to him.

“Are you jealous again?” She asked with a hint of teasing in her voice.

Xuan Ruiquan stared at her for a while, then looked away.

“No. I don’t. Don’t speak nonsense.”

Listening to his repeated denials, Duan Yixin smiled and said, “I dreamed of the mysterious man again last night. He wanted me to find You Xiaocheng as soon as possible and told me that time was running out.”

She paused and said doubtfully, “I don’t understand why he said there is not much time left, but I know I need to see You Xiaocheng as soon as possible. He may know what the mysterious man wants me to do.”

After listening to her explanation, Xuan Ruiquan fell into deep thought. He remembered that he had had a strange dream before, but he had no more dreams after that.

Duan Yixin noticed that he was suddenly silent and asked, “Did you also have strange dreams?”

Xuan Ruiquan shook his head, “No. I only dreamed about someone else once, and it has nothing to do with the mysterious person you dreamed about and You Xiaocheng.”

“Who is that person in your dream?” Duan Yixin asked curiously.

Xuan Ruiquan stared at her for a few seconds, then looked away, “You don’t know him.”

Duan Yixin was stunned when she heard his cold voice. After thinking for a while, she asked, “Do you hate the person in your dream?”

Xuan Ruiquan pondered about it and shook his head, “No.”

He didn’t hate Yu Jingxian, but he was very jealous of him. Yu Jingxian can get things that require him to work hard for two lifetimes without any effort.

Even now, Xuan Ruiquan still feels jealous and scared whenever Yu Jingxian’s name is mentioned between him and Duan Yixin. He was afraid that Duan Yixin only liked him because he looked like Yu Jingxian, but the person she loved was Yu Jingxian.

Looking at Xuan Ruiquan’s frowning face and clenched hands, Duan Yixin pondered for a moment, then held his hands and said, “If you don’t want to, then we won’t talk about that person. Have you had breakfast?”

Xuan Ruiquan knew she was intentionally changing the subject, so he shook his head and answered, “Not yet.”

She smiled as she felt that his mood had improved. She stood up and said, “Then let’s have breakfast with my father.”

Xuan Ruiquan nodded, and the two of them left the main hall. On the way to the main courtyard, they met Xie Yanghui.

He looked at their interlocked hands and said, “Since we are all here, let’s have breakfast first.”

After saying that, he walked to the dining room. When they arrived, Duan Yixin did not see Chi Xiyou and Chi Xinru.

She looked at Zhan Wenmin and asked, “Uncle Zhan, where are Elder Brother Xiyou and Xinru?”

Zhan Wenmin thought for a second and replied, “Young Master Chi and Miss Chi left early in the morning.”
