She sniffed around by the window.
Finally, Bai Zhi’er walked back to the table with small steps.
She stood on tiptoe, leaning over the table, her big eyes blinking as she looked at the food box she brought.
Such a fragrant sll, it must be because of the chestnut cake she brought.
"Mmm... I really want to eat..." Bai Zhi’er couldn’t help but extend an evil little pinky hand.
But just as she was about to touch the food box, she held back and withdrew her hand.
"No way, I can’t eat it. It’s for Uncle."
"When Uncle returns and sees it, knowing it was from Zhi Bao, he will definitely like Zhi Bao a lot!"
Bai Zhi’er comforted herself as she smiled sweetly.
Her adorable little appearance was soft and cute.
Standing beside the door, Prince Qing heard these words and his gaze ward.
Bai Zhi’er was sniffing the fragrance of the chestnut cake intently.
Suddenly, she heard two soft coughs behind her—
"Cough, cough."
Bai Zhi’er turned and saw a young man wearing a mask standing at the door.
She paused, finally recognizing him, and her eyes widened in surprise.
"It’s you! The big brother who gave the lantern that day!"
Prince Qing walked through the door with his hands behind his back and smiled: "We et again, little one."
Bai Zhi’er looked around, finally took a step back: "You... you are a wandering thief, breaking into my uncle’s house to steal things, aren’t you?"
The little one’s big eyes were filled with alertness.
She nearly engraved the word "thief" directly onto Prince Qing’s face.
Listening to her, Prince Qing staggered and almost fell.
He quickly adjusted his mask.
"Where do you get these wacky ideas every day? How could I be a thief? This is Prince Qing Mansion. I am a friend invited by Prince Qing to visit his ho."
With that, he directly sat down on a chair nearby, casually crossing his legs, looking noble and leisurely.
As if it were his ho.
Bai Zhi’er pouted: "Is that so? Uncle has friends like you."
Suddenly, the little one rembered sothing.
She exclaid: "No wait! The day we t, I was wearing a mask, you shouldn’t know what I look like, how did you recognize just now?"
Prince Qing chuckled to himself.
This little niece is the Bai Family’s precious gem, even if wrapped up tightly, just one word and he’d recognize her!
Moreover, Bai Zhi’er doesn’t know that Prince Qing had noticed her long ago.
At the teahouse before, he pretended to write a poem for her to win a leader position.
Near Uncle Chang’s house, he saw how she helped the elderly.
While she was unaware, he, being her uncle, cared quietly for her as she grew up.
Facing Bai Zhi’er’s question, Prince Qing calmly said: "Of course, I recognized you by your voice. Before I ca in, I heard you mumbling here."
"So, this uncle you ntioned, could he be Prince Qing?"
Bai Zhi’er put her hands on her hips and huffed: "Yes! I am Uncle’s precious niece, Zhi’er."
Prince Qing couldn’t help but laugh.
This little child really cherishes him.
But indeed she’s a treasure.
Prince Qing laughed: "But it seems both of us will leave empty-handed today; Prince Qing is not ho, and your things may spoil before he notices."
Bai Zhi’er’s small face was pink, and her round eyes were shiny and bright.
She swung her little hands, speaking boldly: "It’s okay, it’s my intention; Uncle will see it when he cos back."
Then, the little one’s tone changed: "Moreover, Third Uncle once said that Uncle values food greatly, maybe he’ll eat it even if it’s rotten."
Prince Qing’s smile beneath the mask froze.
He maintained a smile with his thin lips, gritting slightly: "That’s not necessary."
Bai Zhi’er stood by the table watching Prince Qing’s masked face intently.
She was very curious.
"Why are you always wearing a mask? I can’t see your face, I don’t know whether to call you big brother or old uncle."
