For some reason, Yue Qiwan felt very sad. The thought that all the kindness she had shown him was just because of her status made him feel extremely uncomfortable. His eyes reddened slightly, and tears welled up in his eyes.

His fear of women stems from psychological reasons, because of what happened when he was young. But in reality, he's not very willing to interact with people; to be precise, he simply doesn't like interacting with people.

Here, there was not even a little wolf to confide in. Yue Qiwan gently wiped the corner of her eye with her fingertips, trying to wipe away her tears.

It wasn't until there was a knock on the door that Yue Qiwan finally wiped away her tears.

When Yue Qiwan opened the door, she saw Wange standing in front of her.

Wan Ge only realized Yue Qiwan had just come out when she saw the footprints upon returning. What was he trying to do? Was he looking for her?

Because the little princess came over, he went outside to talk to her. One day, when he couldn't find her, did he cry in grievance?

Wan Ge reached out her hand and touched his face with her fingertips: "What's wrong, Your Highness?"

Yue Qiwan gently shook her head, glancing at the pastries on the table as she lowered her head. She then turned and picked them up, saying, "I was worried that the General might be hungry, so I wanted to give the General..."

Looking at the delicate pastries on the plate, Wan Ge picked one up and took a bite: "So delicious."

As he spoke, a smile played on his face, as if the food really tasted delicious.

Wan Ge picked up another one and held it to his lips: "Your Highness, why don't you try one too?"

Judging from the neatly arranged pastries, the other person probably hasn't eaten them yet.

Yue Qiwan also subconsciously took a bite, a small bite, only a quarter of it.

After realizing what had happened, she turned around, raised her sleeve, and chewed gently.

How could he let her see how he ate? He had already thought that all the kindness she showed him was just because of her status, but he still couldn't help blushing.

He clearly regarded her as his guardian angel, but when he faced her like this, his heart couldn't help but flutter.

…

Around midnight that night, Wan Ge suddenly heard a noise inside the house. When she pushed open the door and went in, she saw the boy frowning, covered in sweat, and shouting "No!"

Seeing him having a nightmare, Wan Ge gently woke him up: "Your Highness, Your Highness!"

Yue Qiwan opened her eyes, tears sliding down her cheeks. Looking at the person in front of her, she subconsciously reached out and hugged her.

Wan Ge gently patted his back to comfort him, and it took a while for Yue Qiwan to calm down.

Now, because Yue Qiwan was about to fall asleep, he was only wearing his undergarments, which he shouldn't have let a woman see, but he didn't mind at all.

After spending these past few days together, and with her saving him from danger twice, Yue Qiwan found it hard not to fall for her. However… Yue Qiwan knew he was no match for her, but… even if it was only because of her status, just having her by his side was enough.

Wan Ge tucked him in and gently hummed a lullaby to lull him to sleep.

With her company and her melodious voice, Yue Qiwan fell asleep peacefully again. This time, she slept very soundly and did not have any more nightmares.

Looking at his peaceful sleeping face, Wan Ge lowered her head and kissed his forehead before leaving his room and going back to the door to stand guard for him.
