Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 346 - 345: As You Wish

Even if she was sulking, she wouldn’t wrap the entire quilt around herself. Ye Zhi knew that the little traitor would not reach out to snatch the thin blanket from her.

This realization made her even angrier; throwing a tantrum wasn’t right, but not doing so didn’t feel right either.

The future powerful minister had no airs at all. He repressed his aura and patiently explained, "I just, I just worry that you don’t understand the principle of propriety between men and women, and might be taken advantage of outside."

Ye Zhi couldn’t help but loudly retort, "How could I not understand? Four years ago my mother told me to keep my distance from you, saying a bunch of big principles I didn’t understand. I saw that no one was around, so I just wanted to pinch you because I find you very much to my liking."

A light sentence drifted over, "Oh, then pinch again."

Ye Zhi’s anger subsided a bit, but she still wasn’t in the mood to play these games.

The two chatted sporadically about other topics.

"Don’t sleep too soundly, be careful not to fall out of the nook. I’m so sleepy, I’ll sleep first. If I do fall, remember to catch me."

The darling murmured softly, and her breathing gradually steadied, sweetly drifting into dreamland.

If it were someone else, she wouldn’t even dare lie down here for fear of falling, let alone sleep...

But the little traitor was someone she could trust completely.

When Ye Zhi woke up, it happened to be as the red sun was just rising, like a hand teasing away the light veil-like mist, enveloping Bronze City in a hazy fog.

From her vantage point, looking out, the large and small, high and low houses in the city were all well-arranged. With a closer look, one would notice that the streets and houses were arranged according to the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, neat and orderly.

It had been a long time since she could properly appreciate a sunrise; in this moment, she felt utterly relaxed and delighted.

The little girl sat with her knees hugged, her gaze clear and bright, innocence written all over her face, her eyes seemingly filled with a galaxy of stars.

The young man beside her looked at her tenderly, his eyes solely on her.

When the crane returns to the lone mountain, the time had come, and to his eyes, there was no one else, everywhere was her.

After briefly enjoying this rare moment, time was running short; there was still much to be done.

Half an hour remaining until the hour of Chen.

Ye Zhi, holding her little thin blanket and cute small pillow, stood up: "Xiao Chen, I’m going back to freshen up first. The matter with Xu Lu’er is as I just mentioned, currently settled at the Tongfu Inn, after some time, we’ll head north back to the capital together. Then we’ll look at the situation."

Shen Chen nodded, "Alright, as you wish. Whatever you do, I will support you."

The reference was to the matter with Xu Lu’er.

But~

Ye Zhi’s heart leapt with joy, grinning mischievously, she confirmed again with ill intent: "So you mean, as long as it’s not something against the morals of heaven and earth, within basic moral bounds, you will support me? For instance, if Ling Que hits me, I hit back?"

Shen Chen chuckled mockingly, "If she hits you, of course, you should hit back. Ah Zhi is not a fool; why would she let anyone bully her? I will definitely stand by your side."

He did not know that his support would allow Ye Zhi in the coming years to act without fear, dominating wherever necessary, whether dealing with the sharp methods of Xue Ling or the Prince Dog, and so-called female leads, she would be fearless.

Especially in the confrontation with Liu Qingxi.

And for some yet-to-appear malicious side characters, Ye Zhi expressed: Hehe, bring it on.

Anyway, with Minister Traitor standing guard behind her...

Ye Zhi stood holding the thin blanket, exuding an aura of confidence.

Indeed, it was the light of feeling that she had already escaped her role as mere cannon fodder and successfully latched onto the golden opportunity with the male lead.

Shen Chen could not understand where her happiness came from, but upon seeing the young girl’s almond eyes glistening and her sweet smiling face, his mood too became bright and clear.
