As soon as the words were spoken, Ke Shouwang noticed from the corner of his eye that Young Master Bai Xuanmo was holding little Princess Bai Zhi’er’s hand, standing not far away watching the spectacle.
Ke Shouwang silently pressed his lips together.
It’s this pair of siblings again...
Having seen them, Ke Shouwang had no way to just turn around and leave.
He hesitated, but still stepped forward to salute Bai Xuanmo and Bai Zhi’er.
Bai Zhi’er blinked her big round eyes, waving her small hand: "At ease, Brother Ke. Did you have a quarrel with your friend?"
"A sister of my friend with the surname Han had a green insect fall on her shoulder as she passed by me, and she thought it was my poisonous insect, fainting on the spot."
"Brother Han then came to argue with me. Alas, it’s really just a misunderstanding."
Bai Xuanmo’s thin lips curved with a bright, teasing smile in his eyes.
"Is it really a misunderstanding? Or did you want to scare the girl and got caught? I remember the insects you have are all sorts of colorful; it might really be yours."
Ke Shouwang felt infuriated every time by Bai Xuanmo’s words.
He hurriedly retorted: "It’s not my poisonous insect! I wouldn’t use such a thing to scare a girl!"
Bai Zhi’er’s long lashes fluttered: "Hmm! I believe Brother Chongzi."
Ke Shouwang was at a loss.
In front of these siblings, he was always left exasperated and helpless!
Bai Zhi’er spoke in a soft, cute tone: "But, since it wasn’t you, you could go explain to the big sister from the Han family~"
Ke Shouwang glanced aside, angrily saying: "I originally wanted to explain in person, but Brother Han indiscriminately argued with me the moment I appeared. What’s the point for me to go again."
Bai Xuanmo snorted nearby, his eyebrows dark and expressive: "Ke Shouwang, you should muster some courage to stand up to them, and not always be bullied."
"How about you ask me for help, I can resolve the matter with the Han family for you, what do you say?"
Ke Shouwang showed a speechless expression on his face.
By "resolve," Bai Xuanmo probably meant something drastic!
He waved his hand: "Alright, Young Master, thank you for your kind offer, but I don’t need it!"
Bai Zhi’er raised her big eyes, looking at Bai Xuanmo and then at Ke Shouwang.
Her childish voice was soft and adorable: "Then let me go say some nice things for Brother Chongzi~ I’m just a kid, the big brother from the Han family should listen." Discover more novels at NoveIꜰire.net
Ke Shouwang was taken aback.
He looked at Bai Zhi’er, his eyes flickering with disbelief: "Princess... you’re willing to speak on my behalf?"
The little one earnestly nodded: "The banquet hasn’t started yet, and I’m just idling around! Brother Chongzi and I have a bond after all, Zhi’er is willing to help you~"
Ke Shouwang offered continuous thanks.
"But if Brother Han still doesn’t believe it, Your Highness, please don’t insist. But I will always remember Your Highness’s kindness in helping me!"
Bai Xuanmo coldly laughed nearby, raising his eyebrows: "My little sister’s helped you more than a few times."
Bai Zhi’er looked around and spotted Young Master Han, standing not far away with other friends.
The little one said: "Brother Chongzi, you wait here for me! I’ll go have a chat with him!"
Bai Zhi’er was just about to step forward with her little feet when Bai Xuanmo lifted her up: "Brother will accompany you."
Her big eyes blinked.
I can’t be separated from my big brother; I must hold his hand, or else he’d cry if he got lost.
Ke Shouwang watched the siblings’ backs as they walked away, feeling a surge of emotion.
But he had a feeling that things wouldn’t be so simple.
Ke Shouwang hissed and muttered, frowning in thought: "Could it be that the Young Master feels too much like a bad guy to me?"
