C10 I'm Here to Pick You up

"Why did you feel aggrieved after This King received a beating?"

Gu Yanqing looked at Bai Ruotong's sad expression and laughed instead of getting angry. His actions just now were indeed a bit too rough on the girl, but he couldn't think of any other way to make Bai Ruotong obediently take the medicine.

"…" Bai Ruotong wanted to say something but hesitated. She dared not to say anything.

"Drink your milk tea." Drink your milk tea. Gu Yanqing took the milk tea that her servant had placed on the table and placed it in front of her hand.

Bai Ruotong sobbed and refused to take it.

"Don't cry."

Gu Yan Qing's heart was about to burst into tears from this little girl. He lowered his brows and reached out his hand to wipe her tears. Before his hand could touch the little girl, she was already terrified and dodged away.

"Are you angry with This King?" Gu Yanqing's hand, which was carrying the milk tea, did not move for a moment. His words were filled with helplessness, and when listening carefully, it sounded like it was mixed with a bit of pampering.

"I don't dare."

Bai Ruotong burped and replied.

"There's sugar in the milk tea. It's very sweet." Gu Yan Qing smiled gently and said patiently. The little girl's tone was indignant, obviously angry at him.

"Nope."

Bai Ruotong cautiously sized him up and shook her head.

His Highness, the Smiling Tiger, had a fickle temperament, ranging from gentle to sullen, causing others to be unable to make heads or tails of it. She did not know him at all. He was so gentle, yet when he thought about it, there was definitely a way.

She thought carefully and refused to accept Gu Yan Qing's good intentions.

"You want me to feed you again?" Seeing her "rather die than submit" attitude, Gu Yanqing raised his eyebrows teasingly.

"…"

You!

Bai Ruotong 'humiliated' herself as she received the cup of milk tea. Gu Yanqing smiled with satisfaction and was about to tease the little girl again when Zhao Cheng walked up to pass on a few words.

"Your Highness, someone from the General's Estate has come to fetch Miss Bai."

"Call them in." Gu Yan Qing raised her hand and stood up.

As Bai Ruotong silently ate the milk tea, the bitterness in her mouth became much fainter. It warmed her stomach, and even the pain in her chest calmed down a little.

Zhao Zhong lowered his head and entered the small room with eager steps. There were five other people following behind him, all dressed in the same servant uniform.

"Prince Zhenxi's steward, Zhao Zhong, greets Your Highness. Your Highness is blessed with good health!" Zhao Zhong tremblingly kneeled and saluted, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

Bai Ruotong looked at the newcomer with a pair of eyes, but her heart was very disappointed. She had thought that when he saluted, he would at least carry the title of 'Your Highness'. She had never thought that he would only have the word 'Your Highness' in his name.

Until now, she still did not know who this "Your Highness" before her was. It wasn't that she didn't have the intention to ask that question, but after considering her current identity, she decided to give up.

She was the direct daughter of the General's Estate, and had probably seen a lot of nobles with the old lady. She had met all of the high ranking officials and nobles in the capital. If she were to recklessly ask about his identity, it would only raise suspicions.

"Get up." Gu Yanqing's tone was dispirited, unlike the gentle and delicate tone from before. His gaze did not fall on Zhao Zhong, but on Bai Ruotong, who was drinking milk and drinking tea.

"Your Highness, my Miss will be troubling Your Highness tonight. This old man's life is mine, Zhao. Today's kindness will definitely be returned to the General's Estate." Zhao Zhong stood up fearfully and wiped the sweat off his forehead with the corner of his sleeve.

He had worked in the General's Estate for quite some time, so he had seen quite a few nobles. However, this was the first time he was facing Gu Yan Qing by himself. This esteemed lord was unpredictable and was difficult to serve. He had to be extremely careful when he spoke to avoid encountering Gu Yan Qing.
