Madam Bai gave an 'oh' in response and seemed to understand.
On the other hand, Bai Yi was not very satisfied.
Hu Ni was a guest Ye Siming had invited. It was said that he was a friend he knew.
Bai Yi's tone was only a little sharp as he said, "Her Highness has a noble status. You can't claim to be siblings with her lest you break the rules."
Hu Ni lowered his head and kept nodding. "General is right. I won't get it wrong in the future!"
Even so, Hu Ni still felt a cold gaze that could kill land on him.
This damned feeling was as if he had suddenly entered the territory of a wolf while running in the forest.
Hu Ni closed his legs and laughed dryly. "I suddenly remembered that I still have to go to the city to buy something. You guys chat. I'll go out first."
After saying that, he slipped away without looking back.
Bai Yi and his wife didn't take it to heart.
Madam Bai only smiled and said, "Your Highness, what other snacks do you want to eat?"
Gu Nuo'er said softly, "No, Auntie Bai. I've stayed here for the night and have to hurry back to the palace. Otherwise, Father and Mother will be worried!"
Madam Bai nodded and felt that it made sense.
She asked the maidservant to go to the kitchen to prepare a few boxes of snacks for the princess to eat on the way. She then called Ye Siming to send Her Highness back to the palace in a carriage.
When they arrived at the carriage, Gu Nuo'er consciously slipped out of Ye Siming's arms.
Her small body sat in the corner like a small porcelain bottle, neither tilting over nor moving.
She was so obedient, her big eyes fluttering as she watched Ye Siming get into the carriage and sit beside her as usual.
However, he didn't say anything.
Gu Nuo'er looked at him secretly.
Ye Siming's side profile was well-defined and his handsome and unruly profile was very good-looking.
His skin was fair, but he didn't look sickly or weak. Instead, under the sunlight that shone in from time to time from outside the sutra window, the youth looked even more energetic.
At this moment, Ye Siming pursed his lips and looked calm.
Only Gu Nuo'er's heart was palpitating.
"Elder Brother Siming..." She couldn't hold it in anymore and spoke first.
Ye Siming immediately turned to look at her.
His dark eyes were so deep that it seemed impossible to see any brightness in them.
"What is it?" His usual rhetorical tone was especially cold to Gu Nuo'er this time.
The child rubbed her pink fingertips, her eyes shining.
She immediately took the initiative to snuggle into Ye Siming's arms.
She rubbed her head against him. "Elder Brother Siming, the weather is so cold. Hug me!"
She would first test the big wolfie's attitude to see if he was suspicious!
Ye Siming took the opportunity to wrap his arms around the child's body and pressed her into his arms.
Seeing that he didn't seem to suspect anything, Gu Nuo'er heaved a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Ye Siming suddenly said with a faint smile, "Hu Ni also called the fish demon who saved us last time 'older sister'."
Gu Nuo'er was grabbing his clothes with her small hands. When she heard this, she quickly blinked.
"Oh, there's such a thing? So Hu Ni knows our life-saving fish? When I see him next time, I'll definitely treat him better!"
Her milky-white face was filled with innocence.
She curled up obediently in Ye Siming's arms.
It was as if she really didn't know anything.
Ye Siming curled his lips and smiled unfathomably.
He looked out of the window, seeming to be thinking about something.
Gu Nuo'er, who was in his arms, also secretly pursed her pink lips. Her sparkling black eyes were like faint starlight.
The two of them each had their own thoughts.
When they were about to reach the palace gate, Ye Siming watched as Gu Nuo'er prepared to enter the imperial city.
He suddenly said without rhyme or reason, "You're not allowed to get close to Hu Ni."
Gu Nuo'er was even more puzzled. "Why?!"
"You're just not allowed to." His eyes were arrogant, not allowing any contesting.
Gu Nuo'er pouted.
Elder Brother Siming was so difficult to understand!
