Just at that mont.
A "bang" noise ca from the door as a plate crashed to the floor.
Qingi was startled: "Who are you! How could you be in the Princess’s chamber!"
Lu Wang quickly turned his head to look.
Qingi was already calling out: "Soone, co quickly, there’s an assassin in the Princess’s room!"
Lu Wang gritted his teeth, cursing inwardly.
He had just been distracted and didn’t hear Qingi’s approach.
The commotion had already awakened Bai Zhi’er on the bed.
The little one’s long lashes fluttered twice before she slowly opened her drowsy, big eyes.
Hmm?
What’s happening?
Qingi grabbed a broom by the wall and raised it up.
"I warn you, don’t think of harming the Princess, you have nowhere to escape, I advise you to surrender!"
Lu Wang’s gaze was cold and sharp, staring at Qingi as if locking eyes with a beast.
It actually gave her a hair-raising feeling.
At this mont, Bai Zhi’er’s soft voice said, "Sister Qingi, you can leave now. This is my friend, Wangwang. I asked him to co through the window to play with ."
Qingi and Lu Wang were both stunned.
"The Princess’s...friend?" Qingi looked Lu Wang up and down in doubt: "I’ve never seen him before."
Bai Zhi’er sat up, her long hair draped over her small shoulders, making her large, watery eyes appear even darker.
"We t at that auction, Wangwang even helped catch two troublemakers."
"And last ti when Senior Brother was ambushed, Wangwang took two arrows to protect . So, he’s a good person!"
Only then did Qingi lower the broom.
She let out a breath and gave Lu Wang a sidelong glance.
"If he had said so earlier, I wouldn’t have been so nervous, just standing there looking stunned and saying nothing."
Then Qingi noticed the broken plate on the floor, the pastries ruined.
They were originally prepared for Bai Zhi’er to eat after her nap.
"Your Highness, I will go get another plate. Mr. Wangwang, please do not linger too long in the Princess’s chamber!"
Having said that, Qingi turned around and left.
Once Bai Zhi’er saw her go far away, she looked up, her pretty eyes gazing at Lu Wang.
"Wangwang, don’t worry, Sister Qingi is gone. You can go ahead and eat!"
Lu Wang skeptically furrowed his brows: "Eat?"
Bai Zhi’er nodded, saying innocently, "You must have co for the butterfly pastries from last ti!"
The little one pointed to the round table not far away: "They’re there, go ahead and take them."
Lu Wang: ...
How is she so naive to think he ca for food.
Bai Zhi’er saw Lu Wang unmoved, yet looking at her with a complex, profound gaze.
The little one let out an "ah".
She bounced off the bed and walked over to the table, bringing the plate over proactively.
"Eat up, don’t be shy."
"I know, Wangwang, you’re soone who cares about reputation. Actually, last ti you ca to the auction, it was also just for a bite to eat, right?"
"I checked the guest list for the auction, and your na wasn’t on it. Though I don’t know how you got in, it must have been difficult."
The little one tiptoed, placing the plate in his hands, then returned to sit by the bedside.
"Since I t you, I won’t let you go hungry. Eat up, eat up, there’s not much Zhi’er lacks here, except for lots of money and food~"
Bai Zhi’er smiled brightly.
Lu Wang looked at her clear, innocent smile.
For a mont, he felt a touch of remorse for what he had just done.
Lu Wang placed the plate back on the table.
He said in a deep voice, "Actually, I didn’t co here today for food."
Since Lord Demon wants to make her his Demon Pet, he better reveal the truth.
Let this little girl make a choice for herself.
