Fu Zhengci stood tall, watching the girl nervously turning red in the face. A wave of nostalgia hit him as he recalled the first time he met Xiao Yu; she was timid and shy just like this.
Little Sister Lu felt her heart flutter under Fu Zhengci's gaze and instinctively hid behind Xiao Yu. Fu Zhengci snapped out of his daze, nodded to both of them, and turned to get in the car, driving away.
Only when the car disappeared from the palace gates did Xiao Yu retract her gaze and sigh lightly.
Little Sister Lu watched the taillights fade away outside the palace gates. Her heart hadn't yet returned to its normal rhythm. She held Xiao Yu's hand and said, "Sister Su, Sister-in-law is waiting for you."
Xiao Yu nodded, "Let's go then."
Walking through the long palace path, Xiao Yu arrived at the bedroom where Eden stood under the porch in a silk nightdress, smiling as they approached, "Miss Su, we meet again."
Xiao Yu smiled faintly, "Your Majesty the Queen, I fear I might trouble you."
