577 Can’t She Just Go to General Bai’s Manor to Take A Look?
Jiang Xiaoran panicked.
Damn it!
His snatching of the food made the little princess cry.
If Ye Siming found out, wouldn’t he skin him alive?
Jiang Xiaoran quickly said with an anxious expression, “Your Highness! Your Highness, don’t cry. Aiya, I don’t know how to coax girls. I won’t snatch your food anymore!”
Xie Yinxiang took out a handkerchief and gently dabbed the corners of Gu Nuo’er’s eyes.
The child’s tender skin was delicate, to begin with, and now, it was even redder.
She fluttered her long eyelashes and said with tears in her eyes, “When Elder Brother Siming was around if playboy older brother wanted to snatch my things, he would have beaten you up long ago.”
The child sniffed her cute little nose and said in a sobbing voice, “He’s not around and there’s no one to beat playboy older brother up anymore.”
Jiang Xiaoran was stunned.
It was actually because of this?
He grabbed Xie Yinxiang’s wrist. “Come, come, come. Miss Xie, come hit my head. Don’t stand on ceremony with me. Your Highness, don’t be sad. Miss Xie will beat me up for you.”
Xie Yinxiang broke free and said in a low and serious voice, “Young Marquis Jiang, stop fooling around! Nuo’er doesn’t want to see you get beaten up. She is just sad when recalling trivial matters when Marquis Yongye isn’t around.”
As she spoke, Xie Yinxiang pulled Gu Nuo’er into her arms like an older sister.
She patted Gu Nuo’er’s back gently. “Don’t worry. Marquis Yongye is so… dutiful. He must have something on and is unable to come for the time being.”
“That’s right,” Jiang Xiaoran echoed. At the same time, he secretly took another piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth. He said in a muffled voice, “But it’s also strange. Based on Siming’s personality, he won’t be able to stand leaving Her Highness for even a moment. Why would he…”
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Xiaoran was hit by Xie Yinxiang.
He held his aching shoulder. “Ouch.”
Xie Yinxiang widened her almond-shaped eyes. “If you continue to eat snacks secretly, go back to your seat.”
There was a hint of warning in her expression.
Stop saying anything that would make Nuo’er sad again!
Jiang Xiaoran rubbed his shoulder and said, “Actually, things are very simple. Your Highness, there’s no need to worry. If you’re really worried, why don’t you just go to General Bai’s manor to take a look?”
Gu Nuo’er’s doe-like watery eyes flickered with pitiful tears.
“But…”
It wasn’t that the child hadn’t thought of going to Uncle Bai Yi’s place.
However, she recalled having told Elder Brother Siming a few days ago.
If he felt that he was done repaying her kindness and wanted to leave, she wouldn’t stop him.
Could Elder Brother Siming have left?
Xie Yinxiang also suggested, “That’s right. Why don’t we go after school later? I’ll accompany you to General Bai’s manor to take a look, alright?”
Gu Nuo’er seemed to have made up her mind.
She clenched her small fists and suddenly stood up. Her pink and smooth face was filled with cuteness after her tears washed away.
“I’ve decided! I’ll go and see if Elder Brother Siming is at home now!”
As she spoke, Gu Nuo’er ran out quickly.
Xie Yinxiang asked in surprise, “There’s still one lesson left!”
“I’m skipping class!”
Xie Yinxiang watched as the child disappeared and shook her head with a smile.
She was about to put away the pastry box in front of her.
However, she saw a “stealing” hand reach in again to take the pastries.
Xie Yinxiang quickly closed the lid.
Jiang Xiaoran retracted his hand in pain.
“Ouch!” He blew on his fingertips that had been clamped and stared at Xie Yinxiang resentfully. “Eldest Miss Xie, you’re so fierce. No one will dare to marry you in the future.”
Xie Yinxiang closed the box and said casually, “Young Marquis Jiang doesn’t have to worry!”
