“Your Highness.” This bowing individual with that outstanding bodily features would be none other than the small fox brought back the other day, her name Qiu Yue.
“State Teacher,” Di Xiao Wan ignored the stunning model of a female and turned to the man who has come as well, “has she been following you around?”
Over the years, State Teacher has never been with another female, much less bring them around wherever he went. There’s no way the princess wouldn’t have strange ideas about the situation in this case.
Naturally able to pick up on his crush’s unhappy mood, the man soothes her by caressing that small head with his spoiling gesture: “Didn’t you say you will trust me?”
Nodding after a brief startle due to the intimate contact, “I did…”
Yes, I should believe in State Teacher, there’s no way he would treat others differently.
It’s just that……
As soon as that idea came to mind, her heart flared with heat due to how shocked she was inside.
It can’t be…. I also have State Teacher in my heart?
Otherwise, why else would I care if he has someone by his side?
I only accepted him because I wanted a cute little baby….
“Go ahead and take your friends for a good stroll, I got a surprise for you later once you get back.” Gentle in his smile, the man suggests after seeing the others standing around doing nothing.
“Okay,” Di Xiao Wan giggles in her smiling face, glistening with hope for the supposed surprise. “Then I’ll wait for it. Yi Yi, Xiaoyun, let’s go, I’ll show you around my home.” After saying this, the princess pulled both her friends along and left, leaving only the tigress cluelessly standing around in the background.
Huang Xiao Ying understood she’s been forgotten of course, but… instead of being depressed at being left behind, she’s more intrigued by the sparks flying between the princess and State Teacher just now.
Oh I need to get this information back to Pa and Grandmother. This is huge news!
Without delay, the tigress promptly abandoned the thought of being discarded and ran for the palace exit, which left the man and fox lady in the background staring at her back.
“Qiu Yue, the princess was kind enough to take you in, if you dare make her unhappy….” State Teacher coldly glances over to the model lady behind himself after a momentary delay, “I will be the first to not you off the hook!”
If not for the fact that he has something to do on the outside and didn’t trust this unidentified woman to be alone, State Teacher would otherwise never allow her to be near himself. The risk of something off happening remains way too high for his liking. Issue was, he couldn’t let his woes be known to the princess just yet….
“Lord State Teacher, I didn’t….” Qiu Yue’s eyes flashed with panic, kneeling there to show her sincerity.
“I don’t care if you mean it or not, as long as you cause Xiao Wan to be unhappy then it’s your fault.” The man snaps and cut her off, “From this point forward you are not allowed to appear anywhere near the princess. If you do, the punishment will be severe!”
He would rather kill a thousand than to allow one single mistake to bypass his guard. No risk shall ever get pass his sight!
“As you command Milord.”
“Leave then,” he waves his hand and dismisses her with cold indifference
