556 Sister Is Just A Five-Year-Old Child
As the child had taken the initiative to make this request, Ye Siming had no choice but to turn her back into Gu Zixiao’s arms.
Gu Zixiao quickly hugged his sister tightly, afraid that his grandfather, Grand Preceptor Du, would come and snatch her away again.
He nodded at Ye Siming.
Coincidentally, at this moment, another esteemed guest came. While giving his greetings to Grand Preceptor Du, he also greeted the Grace Defender Duke.
The two old men had no choice but to deal with the guest.
Gu Nuo’er covered her mouth with her small hand and whispered, “Eldest Brother, let’s go over there. It’s a place with many beautiful older sisters!”
Gu Zixiao was stunned and followed her gaze.
Not far away, young ladies were standing around the pavilion in groups of twos and threes.
A hint of confusion flashed across Gu Zixiao’s heroic eyes.
His sister had said that he would be having love tribulations and had to be careful of women.
Why did he have to go to the group of women?
In the blink of an eye, he understood.
This might be like going to war on the battlefield. Going deep into the enemies’ camp was also a way to win by catching the enemies by surprise.
Gu Zixiao heaved a sigh of relief and carried Gu Nuo’er over.
Ye Siming looked at their backs. When Jiang Xiaoran walked over, he saw pondering in his pair of indifferent eyes.
“Siming, what are you thinking about?”
“Do you think the first prince can win once if I fight him?”
Jiang Xiaoran thought that he had heard wrongly.
He quickly looked around and said anxiously, “Are you crazy? The first prince is the direct descendant of Her Majesty. He is the future crown prince and heir apparent. Yet, you still want to spar with him? If he’s beaten to death by you, then you’ll be…”
Ye Siming crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows calmly. “Who wants to beat him to death? I just want to ask because there’s actually something the first prince is afraid of despite looking quite skilled.”
Jiang Xiaoran was confused.
In the end, he simply flicked his sleeves. “Forget about this, Siming. They’re playing backgammon in the front hall. Let’s go take a look too!”
On the other side, Gu Zixiao carried Gu Nuo’er to a pavilion.
As soon as he approached, he felt many young ladies’ gazes on him.
As Gu Zixiao had a noble status, was handsome, and was at the age suitable for marriage. Therefore, he had always been the dream lover of countless young ladies in the capital.
Gu Nuo’er clearly sensed her brother’s nervousness and his muscles were tense!
The child whispered, “Elder Brother, did you see that plate of red pastries? Let’s take them and leave!”
Gu Zixiao was stunned and almost subconsciously asked with a smile, “You actually asked me to come over for the pastries?”
“Mmmm! What other reason could there be?” Gu Nuo’er tilted her head, her clear eyes filled with innocence and purity.
Gu Zixiao could not help but laugh.
He had really been too serious just now.
He had almost forgotten that his sister was just a five-year-old child.
How could she have so many thoughts?
Therefore, under everyone’s gaze, Gu Zixiao calmly walked into the pavilion with an extremely handsome face and an adorable princess in his arms.
The young ladies who were originally sitting in the pavilion and talking fell silent.
They all looked away, not daring to look at the first prince. However, they couldn’t help but give him a shy glance.
Gu Zixiao had an upright personality and did not have any designs on them.
He carried the plate of red pastries away according to Gu Nuo’er’s request.
He didn’t forget to look up and ask the young ladies around her, “Are you guys eating these?”
The young ladies were all stunned and their faces turned red.
They shook their heads. “If Your Highness likes it, you can enjoy them.”
Gu Zixiao thanked them righteously.
“Since my sister likes it, I’ll take them away. I won’t disturb everyone here. Goodbye.”
As he spoke, he carried the plate with one hand and Gu Nuo’er with the other then turned to leave.
