Yu Yunxi asked the little bun curiously, “What’s your name?”

“My name is Junjin, Sister. You can call me Junjin,” the little bun replied softly in a childish voice.

The little bun felt as though he had returned to the time when he first met his father. At that time, he was worried that his father would find out about his identity, but at the same time, he was also frustrated that his father did not know his identity. At that time, he also told his father that his name was Junjin and did not reveal his surname.

‘Junjin?’

Yu Yunxi took another look at the little bun. Seeing that the little bun did not state his full name, she knew that there had to be some things that the little bun could not say. She did not probe further. Instead, she asked gently, “Are you sure you’re going to return to your father after he returns to the capital?”

“Yes,” the little bun quickly replied and nodded.

“Alright. Let’s go.”

Although the little bun’s sudden appearance was very strange, Yu Yunxi felt that the little bun did not have any ill intentions. Moreover, she strangely wanted to be close to him.

With that, Yu Yunxi picked the little bun up and carried him in her arms. When she looked at the obedient and chubby child, her heart felt like it was melting.

“Eldest Princess,” Meng Xia called out worriedly. After all, who knew if the child was part of someone else’s scheme?

Yu Yunxi knew that Meng Xia was worried about her. She shook her head and said patiently, “It’s fine for him to follow me. I’m bored staying in the King of Zhenbei’s Residence anyway. I’ll be happier if he accompanies me.”

“I understand, Eldest Princess,” Meng Xia said. She could only agree since Yu Yunxi had already made up her mind.

Before Yu Yunxi carried the little bun into the carriage, she suddenly thought of something. She paused in her tracks before she turned around and reminded Meng Xia, “By the way, don’t tell the Emperor Emeritus about this matter.”

Meng Xia could not help but frown when she heard this. She asked, “Eldest

Princess, why must you hide this from the Emperor Emeritus?”

Yu Yunxi patted the little bun’s head and said gently, “Little fellow, wait for me in the carriage first.”

Then, Yu Yunxi shot a look at Meng Xia as she walked away, and Meng Xia quickly followed Yu Yunxi to a nearby alley.

Yu Yunxi’s gaze was slightly cold as she looked at Meng Xia and asked, “Meng

Xia, are you willing to follow me?”

Meng Xia kneeled down and said firmly, “Eldest Princess, I was selected by the Emperor Emeritus to serve you. I’m naturally willing to follow you forever!”

Upon hearing these words, Yu Yunxi’s gaze did not only remain cold, but it also turned piercing. She continued to ask, “Without the Emperor Emeritus’ order, would you still be willing to follow me?”

Meng Xia was stunned, taken aback by the question. She did not understand why Yu Yunxi would ask such a question.

Yu Yunxi asked bluntly, “Between the Emperor Emeritus and me, if you can only choose one person, who will you choose?”

Meng Xia was extremely flustered. “Eldest Princess, I was sent by the Emperor Emeritus to protect you. I, I…”

Yu Yunxi interjected coldly, “If you’re going to stay by my side and monitor and report my every move to the Emperor Emeritus, then I don’t think you need to stay by my side anymore. I won’t allow those around me to be disloyal.’

For the past few days, Yu Yunxi had been looking for a chance to clarify things with Meng Xia. She would not tolerate keeping someone who was spying on her.

Meng Xia’s eyes were red as she explained, “Eldest Princess, the Emperor Emeritus just wants to know more about you, and he’s also worried about you.”

Yu Yunxi sighed softly and helped Meng Xia to her feet. However, her expression remained serious as she said, “If you choose the Emperor Emeritus, you can still stay in the King of Zhenbei’s Residence. However, you can’t stay by my side anymore. If you choose me, I’ll use all means to protect you.”

“Eldest Princess…’

Meng Xia’s eyes reddened again.

“You can decide on your own. I won’t force you,” Yu Yunxi said.

Just as Yu Yunxi turned to leave, Meng Xia kneeled on the ground again. The sound of her knees hitting the ground was loud and clear. She said firmly, “Eldest Princess, I’m willing to follow you to death…

Upon hearing this, Yu Yunxi turned back to look at Meng Xia. This time, the coldness in her gaze had already disappeared. She said seriously, “Very well. From now on, you’re a member of the Eldest Princess’ Residence and the King of Zhenbei’s Residence.

Meng Xia’s heart was suffused with warmth. She had been selected by the Emperor Emeritus in the past to be trained as a secret guard. She should be loyal to the Emperor Emeritus, but after her interaction with Yu Yunxi, she felt a warmth that she had never felt since her father’s passing. For some reason, she felt that her decision to choose Yu Yunxi was not wrong.

“My memories…” Yu Yunxi said when she suddenly recalled this matter. Meng Xia frowned slightly as she whispered, “I…”

“I won’t ask you to tell me the truth regarding this matter. You were my grandfather’s subordinate and you promised to keep this a secret so I won’t force you,” Yu Yunxi said seriously. She was already gratified that Meng Xia chose her, and she would not force Meng Xia to reveal more secrets. After all, her maternal grandfather was once Meng Xia’s master.

“However, I’ve already sent people to investigate the matters in Tianxia recently. You don’t have to tell me the truth, but you cannot interfere, let alone tell the Emperor Emeritus about it,” Yu Yunxi said, reminding Meng Xia seriously.

“I understand,” Meng Xia quickly replied and nodded. Indeed, she could not betray her former master. She was grateful that Yu Yunxi left her with her dignity and pride.

‘Since the Eldest Princess has guessed that her past is related to Tianxia, this means that she’s very close to discovering the truth…’

“Alright, let’s go back now.”

“Yes, Eldest Princess.’

When Yu Yunxi returned to the carriage, she lifted the curtain and saw the cute little bun sitting cross-legged inside. His small hands were cupping his chubby cheeks as he looked at her obediently and said, “Sister, you’re back!”

Yu Yunxi felt as though her heart was going to melt again when she saw this scene. She quickly got into the carriage and asked gently, “Are you hungry?

“I’m not hungry,” the little bun replied, shaking his head. However, as soon as his voice fell, his stomach made a rumbling noise.

Yu Yunxi could not help but laugh. She pinched the little bun’s cheek and said affectionately, “Don’t be shy. Since you’re going to stay with me, I’ll naturally be responsible for feeding you. Let’s go back. I’ll get the chef to cook something delicious for you.”

“Okay!”

The little bun threw himself into Yu Yunxi’s arms without any reservations.

‘Mother’s embrace is so warm. How good would it be if I could stay in her arms all the time?’

On the other side, Luo Xiuran had a headache as he watched Yu Yunxi’s carriage leave. He wondered what the little bun was planning to do with Yu

Yunxi.

At this moment, Qian Qing said coldly, “I plan to think of a way to enter the King of Zhenbei’s Residence. I want to stay by the County Princess and the little master’s sides..”
