Bai Yaoyu nodded in agreement.
After a while, a servant outside began calling out everywhere—
"Princess, Third Young Master, where are you? The Princess Consort has asked the servant to call you for a meal."
Only then did Bai Yaoyu give the boy a few simple instructions, holding Bai Zhi'er as he departed first.
On the way, Bai Yaoyu emphasized, "Sister, remember to keep the secret between you and your brother."
Bai Zhi'er tilted her little head, holding her brother's shoulder.
"Third Brother isn't going to let uncle or aunt know? Why not?"
"Father is unreasonable and always thinks I'm out causing trouble. If I say I rescued you, he'll surely want to drive you out. There's no point talking to Mother either."
Bai Zhi'er pouted and thought for a moment, nodding, "Alright then!"
Bai Yaoyu looked at her puffed-up little face and couldn't help but lean in quickly for a kiss.
The little girl widened her eyes and, annoyed, began punching with her tiny fists.
