518 Why Are You Calling Her Nuo’er Too?
Gu Nuo’er looked at the door.
Hu Ni was wearing a moon-white robe today. Coupled with his feminine and handsome face, he really looked like a handsome young master.
The child pouted unhappily. “Little foxy! You mustn’t call me that! If Elder Brother Siming hears it, it’ll be terrible!”
Hu Ni walked into the hall with a worried expression. “Alright, then… Elder Sister Nuo’er?”
“Just call me Nuo’er! You look so much older than me!”
Hu Ni said honestly, “Nuo’er, I have something that I have to confess to you. Let me make this clear first. I only came up with this plan to save my life. If you’re unhappy when you hear this, my life… boohoo… will be at your mercy!”
Gu Nuo’er frowned. “What is it?”
Hu Ni told Gu Nuo’er the entire story of how Ye Siming had interrogated him about the fish demon’s whereabouts.
He also said that because Ye Siming was pressing on step by step, in order to save his life, Hu Ni lied that the fish older sister would come to visit him every full moon, which was on the 15th of every month.
When Gu Nuo’er heard this, her eyes widened.
“Little! Foxy!” The child waved her pink fist, her fair porcelain face filled with anxiety. “You, you, you, you sold me out just like that!”
Hu Ni put on a long face. “I regret it a lot too! After I was brought back by Brother Wolf, I couldn’t sleep every day and felt uneasy! I kept thinking that after seeing fish older sister, we could discuss countermeasures together!”
“Countermeasures? The countermeasure is to tell Elder Brother Siming that you lied to him!” The child replied fiercely.
Hu No hugged his head. “That won’t do. I’ll definitely be killed by him! One look and I can tell that Brother Wolf is a cold-faced but ruthless person. I can’t beat him in a fight!”
After saying that, he fell to the ground and hugged Gu Nuo’er’s small leg while crying. “Fish older sister, please save me again!”
Gu Nuo’er rolled her beautiful eyes.
No matter what, she couldn’t reveal her identity in front of Elder Brother Siming!
However, how was she going to smoke things over on the 15th of every month?
Just as the child was about to speak, she clearly sensed Ye Siming walking towards the long corridor.
The child gently kicked Hu Ni away. “Hurry up and stand properly! Elder Brother Siming is coming. Don’t let him see you like this.”
Ye Siming had changed into a set of smart and simple clothes. When he entered the main hall, he saw Hu Ni standing obediently beside Gu Nuo’er.
Hu Ni’s smiling face was like a pink peach blossom, smiling brightly.
“Nuo’er, I’ll get you another cup after you’re done with the tea, alright?” Hu Ni pretended to be magnanimous.
Gu Nuo’er nodded obediently and smiled sweetly.
Unexpectedly, from the corner of their eyes, she and Hu Ni saw Ye Siming walking in with a dark expression.
His footsteps were slow as he walked to Hu Ni’s side. He looked sideways and glared at him coldly, scaring Hu Ni so much that cold sweat broke out on his back.
Why did he feel a sense of guilt…
Gu Nuo’er blinked her big eyes as if she didn’t know anything.
A moment later, Ye Siming’s thin lips moved slightly and he asked Hu Ni, “Why are you calling her Nuo’er too?”
Hu Lai drew in a cold gasp. “That’s because…”
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Siming interrupted coldly, “Change your words and call her princess.”
“Princess!” Hu Lai knew what was good for him and quickly called out.
Only then did Ye Siming’s expression soften.
Hu Ni calmly wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
That was close. He thought that Brother Wolf had discovered something.
Gu Nuo’er was distracted the entire night!
She was thinking about how to get through things on the 15th since it was coming very soon.
The child was extremely troubled.
Ye Siming noticed many times that Gu Nuo’er was resting her chin on her small hand. Her favorite drumstick was placed in front of her, but her eyes were in a daze.
Was there something troubling her?
