Then, in a daze, she slumped her head into Yuwen Xu's arms.

It whimpered and shrank back.

She was about to fall asleep.

Yuwen Xu was taken aback.

He lowered his eyes to look at her.

Their eyes were sometimes bright, sometimes dark.

The little ball of flesh that used to roll around in his hands every day has become a person.

My emotions were a jumbled mess.

Sometimes, he might show more affection to an animal that poses no threat to him.

But if she becomes a human, she can no longer be regarded as an animal.

Are there truly sincere people in this world who would never betray you?

No, it won't happen.

He lowered his eyes, concealing the deep, dark color in them.

I had a good night's sleep.

When Su Yan woke up, she subconsciously reached out to touch Yuwen Xu beside her.

But they didn't find him.

All I found was an empty bed.

She blinked and sat up.

Her hair was loose and disheveled.

At that moment, a sound came from beside the bed.

"Miss, you're awake. Let me help you get dressed."

Su Yan blinked, and soon three or four maids were serving her at the bedside. In no time, they dressed her neatly.

She wore a pale yellow dress and a golden hairpin in her hair. Her eyes were very bright and lively, as vibrant as tender buds.

After getting dressed, Su Yan stood up from in front of the dressing table.

They walked out.

It has probably evolved from running around on four paws to now walking on two legs.

It still takes time to get used to it.

As a result, he always walks unsteadily and swaying.

She turned her head and asked the maid who was following her.

Where is Yuwen Xu?

Upon hearing this, the maid was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground.

"Young lady, you mustn't."

Su Yan tilted her head

"Cannot do what?"

"To address a prince by his given name is a grave offense."

"Then what should I call him?"

"The young lady should address you as Your Highness."

"Where is the prince now?"

"In reply to your question, Your Highness is currently in his study, discussing confidential matters with several ministers."

Su Yan nodded and then walked towards the study.

She was used to seeing Yuwen Xu discussing matters with others.

Every time, he would bring her a box of pastries and put it on the table for her to eat, while he kept her company.

As he approached the study, two guards blocked his way.

I could hear the two of them speaking in a harsh tone.

"The prince is holding a meeting; no one may enter without permission."

Su Yan pursed her lips.

Look down at your current physical form.

There was no rebuttal, just a blink.

"Can I wait for him here?"

The two guards remained silent.

Su Yan walked around for a while and finally sat down on the stone bench placed next to the study.

At this moment, the maidservant who served Su Yan, Hanxiao, handed over a plate of pastries.

"Young lady, you haven't eaten since you woke up, would you like to have something to eat?"

Su Yan recognized the smell as the kind of pastry she used to eat.

Finally, her complexion improved.

Pick it up and eat it there.

After she had eaten most of it, she seemed to remember the maid beside her.

Why have you been following me?

The maid was gentle and kind.

"It was the prince who assigned me to serve you, young lady."

"May I have your name?"

"This servant is Wei Wan."

"Yes, my name is Su Yan."

The maid smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Greetings, Miss Su Yan. From now on, I will be serving you. Please feel free to tell me if you have any instructions."

Su Yan took a bite of the osmanthus cake in her hand.

He nodded haphazardly, his attention still focused on the osmanthus cake.

Ah, this osmanthus cake is so delicious!

He silently praised it in his heart.
