"Thank you for your kindness, Princess, but I won’t eat it!"
Ke Shouwang raised his hand and gently waved it, intending to refuse with a flick of his sleeve.
Who would’ve thought, Bai Zhi’er couldn’t hold on tight, and accidentally, the candy fell to the ground, rolled a couple of times, and landed not far away.
Ke Shouwang was stunned: "I didn’t mean to..."
Bai Zhi’er pouted her little lips: "What a pity, that candy was crystal clear and must have been crunchy to bite into."
Bai Xuanmo had already frowned unhappily when the little one offered the candy.
When he saw Ke Shouwang accidentally wave the candy away and saw the regret in Bai Zhi’er’s eyes, Bai Xuanmo’s expression immediately changed.
In his handsome brow’s deep and cold eyes, a chilling intent surged.
"Ke Shouwang, usually I don’t argue with you, nor do I use my status as the Princely Heir to press down on you, out of respect for your father."
"But it doesn’t mean I’m willing to allow you to carelessly dismiss my sister’s goodwill onto the ground."
"If you don’t pick it up and eat it, I’ll notify the Ke Mansion shortly to find someone to collect your body!"
Ke Shouwang knew he was in the wrong earlier.
He hadn’t intended to hurt a child’s feelings.
But faced with Bai Xuanmo’s pointed accusations and reprimand.
Ke Shouwang gritted his teeth stubbornly: "I didn’t do it on purpose, and besides, the candy fell on the ground and got dirty, it can’t be picked up!"
He turned to Bai Zhi’er, bowing in apology: "Your Highness, it was my fault earlier, but I’ve lost a precious item today and am really in a bad mood, please understand and forgive me this time."
Bai Xuanmo furrowed his brows, the shadowy gleam in his eyes was as dark and cold as a storm.
He took a step forward and pressed: "Don’t you understand my words?"
At this moment, Bai Zhi’er’s small hand tugged at Bai Xuanmo.
"Brother, don’t be fierce, don’t be fierce, he already said it wasn’t intentional, don’t blame him."
The little one smiled sweetly at Ke Shouwang: "If you find your item later, just compensate me with a bag of candy~"
Ke Shouwang was stunned, then nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly: "Alright!"
He turned around and continued to instruct the servant to search this area carefully!
Ke Shouwang had little hope of retrieving the jade pendant.
Earlier, he had gotten off the carriage right there, then went to a breakfast shop nearby and had a bowl of wontons.
He had searched the shop, but there was no jade pendant, it must have fallen on the street.
After such a long time, someone might have picked it up!
Ke Shouwang’s face was full of worry.
Beside him, Bai Zhi’er tugged Bai Xuanmo’s fingertip with her small hand.
"Brother, don’t be angry, don’t be angry~" the little one comforted: "This silly grandson isn’t a bad person, just a bit goofy, don’t be angry!"
The murderous intent in Bai Xuanmo’s eyes subsided significantly.
He looked down at the little one clinging closely to him and couldn’t help but chuckle lightly: "Is Little Ball really afraid of brother taking action?"
Just now, if Ke Shouwang had refused one more time, Bai Xuanmo would have made him spew blood and die of poisoning immediately.
Bai Zhi’er hugged his arm, her small face leaning against it, looking very well-behaved.
"Big brother is a good brother, Zhi’er wants you to stay well all the time~"
The little one closed her eyes, her small hand already feeling Bai Xuanmo’s pulse.
She could sense that her big brother had deep toxicity and was at risk of suddenly dying from an emotional surge.
Since she’s here, she needs to protect her brothers!
To stop big brother from continuing in a violent, dark state!
Bai Xuanmo didn’t know what the little one was thinking, but just felt her reliance and couldn’t help but deepen the smile on his lips.
"Little Ball is also my good girl." He ruffled Bai Zhi’er’s small head.
He felt that the two little pigtails tied on her head weren’t as nice as the sky-high ponytail he had done for her that day.
