513 Gu Nuo’er, It’s Time to Come Down
Ning Chudie didn’t have a temper nor did she want to cause trouble in Gu Nuo’er’s shop.
She quickly nodded and agreed. “Then please wait a moment, Miss.”
After saying that, she turned around and hurriedly ran to the backyard.
Cui Yutong crossed her arms, her face filled with displeasure.
The maidservant beside her knew her young miss’s personality very well.
Seeing her like this, she guessed that their young miss must want to look for trouble for this girl.
The maidservant couldn’t help but persuade softly, “Young Miss, why don’t we go back first? When you came out, Master specially instructed us to take good care of you.”
“What are you looking at? I didn’t do anything,” Cui Yutong said righteously.
The maidservant glanced at Ye Siming, who was sitting there with his eyes closed and resting.
She looked troubled and persuaded, “This is the little princess’s shop. We can’t afford to offend her even if we lose our heads. Young Miss, let’s go back.”
Cui Yutong glared at her. “Are you the young miss or am I the young miss?”
The maidservant was reprimanded and didn’t dare to say anything else. She could only cower and keep quiet.
Cui Yutong snorted.
Did she say that she wanted to provoke the princess?
She just wanted to chase away this troublesome female accountant!
Besides, wasn’t the princess not here now? She was targeting the accountant, not the princess’s shop!
However, in the next second, a child ran in happily.
Gu Nuo’er was still holding a sugar figurine in her hand.
When she and Kongjue were walking on the street just now, she couldn’t walk anymore when she saw the freshly made golden sugar figurine.
Kongjue couldn’t bear to see the joy in her big eyes disappear.
Hence, he searched himself and took out a few copper coins to buy this sugar figurine for Gu Nuo’er.
The child even invited him to go to the sweet shop to eat again.
However, Kongjue pressed his palms together and silently refused.
He still had to return to the temple to recite scriptures.
Hence, he parted ways with Gu Nuo’er at the intersection.
The child returned to the sweet shop by herself. Before she could say anything, Ye Siming opened his long eyes as soon as she entered.
When Gu Nuo’er saw Ye Siming, she smiled sweetly and prepared to pounce into his arms.
“Nuo’er,” Qiao Xiuli called out softly.
Gu Nuo’er suddenly stopped in her tracks and turned around, her big eyes lighting up with joy.
She turned around and ran towards Qiao Xiuli, her small body suffocating in her brother’s embrace.
“Cousin~” The child called out sweetly, “You’re free to come today!”
Qiao Xiuli picked her up and let Gu Nuo’er sit on his legs. His slender palm helped her tidy up her messy hair from running.
He smiled elegantly. “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you. It’s not convenient for me to enter the palace’s harem, so I decided to come here to try my luck.”
Qiao Xiuli sized up the child.
He saw that there was no fatigue on her round and fair face, nor did she lose weight because of the rumors brought by the monks. Her big watery eyes were still as lively as before.
Qiao Xiuli secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
He softened his smile. “It’s good to see that you’re fine.”
The child bit the candy in her mouth and smiled. “What can happen to me?! Cousin, I miss Grandpa and Grandma so much. In a few days, I’ll go home to play~”
Qiao Xiuli nodded and raised his eyebrows happily.
He was about to speak when Ye Siming said faintly, “Gu Nuo’er, it’s time to come down.”
Only then did Gu Nuo’er turn around and remember that her big wolfie was still around!
The child twisted her small body and was about to get onto the ground when Qiao Xiuli grabbed her small wrist.
He looked at Ye Siming with his handsome eyes.
Qiao Xiuli’s voice was emotionless. “Marquis Yongye, you have to be gentler to the princess.”
Ye Siming stood up from his chair. He was much taller than others his age.
At this moment, with his unruly eyes lowered, he looked even more domineering.
“When I’m gentle, you don’t have to see it.”
