The Rebirth of a Star General

Chapter 25

     The little boat was floating in the river. There's no moon tonight, just a few scattered stars. The river reflected the light on the river bank, and one could faintly see its own reflection on the water.

Guards rowed a small boat towards a beautifully decorated boat in the middle of the river.

He Yan lowered his head and said nothing. The guard could not help but look back towards He Yan. He saw the girl sitting at the stern of the boat, sitting upright. His hands were tied back, not moving. As if sensing his gaze, he raised his head and glanced at her. The guard shivered, and the paddle in his hand almost fell into the river.

The view was really cold. He could not describe that feeling. It was like the dead were staring at him blankly. The sound of the waves in the river was like a dream, making it seem more like a ghost.

That's too weird. The guard was agitated. He didn't talk much, didn't ask anything, and was very quiet. Ordinary women would at least ask one or two questions at this time, right? But He Yan was not. He was like a silent puppet, so quiet that he did not seem like a living person.

The water sparkled at night like a whirlpool, bringing his mind back to the day when He Wanru's people pressed his head down and he drowned in the pond.

In the past, he could swim and was good at it. But today, at this moment, her tense nerves told her that she was afraid of water.

He was afraid of falling into this small boat, afraid of being sucked into the endless whirlpool, afraid that he would never be able to get out of the water. He was afraid that he would see the sky getting further away from him, but he could do nothing about it. He was afraid that this life would end as suddenly as his previous life.

He was fed up with his current cowardice and fear, but he could think of no other way. He could only sit on the boat and quietly let the guards take him to the majestic boat.

This boat must be a rich family boat. It was smaller than a garbage boat, but much larger than a fishing boat. The guards took He Yan to the boat, opened the boat curtain, and brought He Yan in. Then he paddled the small boat, as if he had received an order and did not dare to approach.

He Yan looked at the person in front of him.

Fan Cheng also dressed up meticulously today. Her clothes are very flashy and luxurious. Inside the cabin, placed incense and colorful lanterns. The lights are foggy, and the cabin is soft and smooth. As soon as one entered, they could feel a charming and gentle fragrance.

He Yan struggled out of the whirlpool in his mind. He looked at Fan Cheng and said, "Master Fan."

Fan Cheng walked over and sat him down on the chair, saying, "A He, you've been persecuted."

He Yan did not say anything.

"I didn't expect that woman to be so cruel. He really kidnapped you and locked you in the house. If I don't order people to protect you in secret and immediately call people to rescue you after knowing this, the consequences are unimaginable. A He, now you must understand my hard work, right? "Fan Cheng complained.

He Yan looked at the rope around his feet. He shook his head and said, "I don't understand."

From start to finish, whether it was Fan Cheng's bodyguards that took him out of the house, into the carriage, or onto the ship, he did not let go of He Yan's rope.

The rough strap had long since eroded his wrist, but he did not feel any pain. He just fell silent.

"I'm afraid you'll misunderstand me and refuse to board the ship. That's why I didn't let you go." Fan Cheng followed his gaze and hurriedly explained. Even though he said this, he did nothing else.

"We're on the ship." He Yan smiled. "I'm not going to run. You can untie me."

His smile was like the morning sun reflecting the snow. It was so bright and beautiful. Fan Cheng looked at him in confusion. He thought, "Geez, I wonder how He Yan grew up. He's getting more and more moving. He was even more gallant and heroic than before."

"My wife was born jealous. He's definitely not gonna let you go. Even if you return to the He Family today, he will still find a way to find you tomorrow. My father-in-law is a manager. Your father was just a military officer. If you want to find a problem, there will be many opportunities. Let's not talk about this for now. The most important thing is you. "

"You're a girl with no one to protect you. Once he catches you, he will definitely find a way to torture you. I can't stand to see you like this."

Fan Cheng looked at him affectionately. "How can I see you suffering?"

"Oh?" He Yan's bound hands slowly let go of the rope. He calmly asked in return, "Then what are you planning?"

Seeing that his tone had changed, Fan Cheng was overjoyed. Without a second thought, he said, “I want to hide you in a safe place. Usually, there are still servants serving you. That way, my wife won't be able to find you. After a long time, I will divorce the woman and bring you back to the Fan Family. At that time, you will be the wife of the head of the Fan Family. No one dares to bully you. "

"Head wife?" asked He Yan.

"It's so thick." Fan Cheng touched his chest. "A He, I swear to you that you are the only one in my heart. If this marriage is not arranged, I will not marry her! Don't worry, I will only love you in this life. I, Fan Cheng's wife, am only you. But you have to wait..."

He Yan heard this and laughed softly.

Fan Cheng was stunned.

"You want me to be your lover" he said indifferently.

If the real Lady He was here, she would be moved to tears by this oath. But she's not Lady He. The audience saw more clearly than the people involved. If a man wants to deceive a woman, he will say any nonsense. Why would Fan Cheng want to make her the chief wife? He just wanted to trick her first.

He did not know if He Wanru was looking at him in the same way as he was looking at Lady He when he was focusing on Xu Zhiheng back then.

"A He, you ..." Fan Cheng frowned.

"Mr Fan, I've made myself very clear. Since you are married, I will also let go of the past. From this bridge, we'll be separated. I'm not intending to be your chief wife, so I hope you don't bother me. "

After saying this, he loosened the knot in his hand and opened it.

Fan Cheng did not see the rope on the ground. He looked at her in surprise, then suddenly sneered. "He Yan, you really don't want to do things the hard way. I have persuaded you well, but you are still angry! Bothering me? There are so many women in the world. Why should I bother someone like you? But the time and effort I spent on you cannot be wasted! "

"Mr Fan, you don't want me to give you silver, do you?" He Yan found it funny.

"This man is not short of money. You can use yourself to pay me." He revealed a vulgar smile. "If you serve me well, I might even reward you with some silver."

He Yan had yet to open his mouth when he suddenly heard an angry voice. "What kind of empty tooth are you spouting!"

He Yan turned his head in surprise. The curtains were lifted, and the person who was soaking wet entered with big strides. It was He Yunsheng.
