âHe can hold you, but not kiss.â A light flashed in the overly protective brother.
âOh.â Ling Yan nods in a seemingly understanding manner.
Though itâs contrary to what she really thought, it doesnât stop this girl from believing everything Bai Xiachen says.
Meanwhile on the other end, Di Jin Tian the little glutton continues to tear away at the stick of sweets in his hand. For him, the conversation was unimportant and only food remains on his mind in this case.
Perhaps maybe in the future, the twin boy would eventually realize heâs been conned in so many ways, but by then its already too late for regrets.
Then suddenly, the little glutton whose been preoccupied until smelled something even more delectable. Turning around, his eyes locked onto the fragrant smell coming out of a nearby restaurant. Slowly but surely, he toddles over to the source.
âMMMMMMmmmm!â
Right as soon as he stepped through the door, a hand had caught him by the mouth, dragging him into one corner and out of sight.
âHighness, donât shout, I wonât hurt you so please calm down.â A soft voice came from the back, causing a puzzled look to come out of the boy who saw it was a stranger.
âMy mother doesnât let me speak to strangers.â Di Jin Tian says, his lips puckering up in displeasure.
He didnât forget what Bai Yan taught him. Strangers are bad, and he needs to be a good little boy.
âPrince, Iâm not a stranger, Iâm a maid from the leopard tribe, also someone your father picked to care for your sister and you.â The womanâs face softens up as she explains, âI have a lot of food so why donât you come with me?â
Truth was, this maid whoâs trying to kidnap the gluttonous boy wasnât doing it out of malice, rather sheâs also under duress. Prior to Mu Xueâs escape from the palace, the wretched girl kidnapped this maidâs younger brother and threatened to kill him if she doesnât do as that traitor says. Now she had no choice but to carry out this plan.
Food?
A light blooms out of Jin Tianâs eye over the idea of food, which also causes him to drool in kind.
Butâ¦â¦
He didnât forget his motherâs words either. As a result of that, a tied expression promptly took hold along that face.
Moments later under that anticipating look of the maid, the little glutton shakes his head: âMother wonât let me strangerâs food.â
Although he does want to eat it very much, but he much rather not see Bai Yan be unhappy.
âLike I said, Iâm not a stranger.â The womanâs face went slightly white, rousing a sense of urgency in her voice.
Oblivious to the change, Jin Tian continues: âBut I donât know you.â
That reply was a huge stickler in the womanâs chest, making her want to suffocate from frustration.
Didnât Mu Xue say this little prince is very gullible and easy to trick?
Why is this guy so hard to persuade then?
Getting a bit hard in the face now: âPrince, I have been ordered by your mother the queen to take care of you. Come with me and Iâll take you to eat something very nice. There are many things youâve never tasted beforeâ¦.â
That tidbit at the end definitely had an effect on the boyâs mind. He looks even more tied, but in the end he still turned away for the outside despite how much he wants to stay.
âMy mother said, those who try to lure me with food are bad people, I donât believe you.â
