"Yes," Gu Haoran answered subconsciously. Faced with Helian Si's unfriendly gaze, he almost blurted out that it was Zijing.

Then, remembering that Zijing was just a delicate young lady, Gu Haoran swallowed back the words he was about to say.

Helian Si was so angry she almost laughed. Seriously, how dare a handsome teacher seduce Lin Zijing? But could she curse him?

No, no, she is the noble princess of Northern Yin. Reason must be used to persuade her. A smile played on her lips as she spoke.

"Young Master Gu, do you think this princess is beautiful?"

"The princess is of unparalleled beauty."

Gu Haoran looked at Helian Si and answered without hesitation. At home, he often heard Haozhi praising the princess.

However, he had his heart set on Zijing, so he didn't pay much attention to her. Today, when he finally met her, he was truly amazed.

Nan Rongjinghua frowned slightly, turned to the side, and used her tall figure to shield Helian Si. Her eyes, hidden beneath her long silk robes, gave Gu Haoran a warning look.

A piercing gaze from Nan Rong Jinghua startled Gu Haoran. He had just humiliated her without a reaction, so why was she acting this way now…?

Helian Si knew that the handsome tutor was being petty again, but he wasn't annoyed. He simply peeked out from behind Nan Rong Jinghua.

Her beautiful peach-blossom eyes glanced at Lin Zijing in Gu Haoran's arms before looking at Gu Haoran with an expression full of innocence and confusion.

"Then why would my Jinghua, with a fiancée as beautiful as me, seduce your fiancée?"

"Young Master Gu, isn't this a bit unreasonable?"

The girl's soft voice, however, also carried a sharp edge that left no room for argument, leaving you speechless.

"alright."

This time, before Gu Haoran could speak, Nan Rong Jinghua turned to face Helian Si, her tall figure completely blocking Gu Haoran's view.

Helian Si raised his eyes curiously, looking at Nan Rongjinghua's eyes beneath her long silk robes. Her oval face and peach-blossom eyes blinked slightly as she spoke in a coquettish tone.

"What's the matter?"

She hadn't finished venting her anger on the handsome tutor yet, and although the way she vented was a bit subtle, she couldn't lose the royal dignity of Bei Yin.

"I will handle the rest myself. Sisi, go inside and sit down now, be good."

He only wanted Ah Sheng to gradually accept him from the bottom of his heart; he didn't need Ah Sheng to actually protect him.

"But……"

Can the handsome teacher really manage all by himself? He was just bullied and looked so pitiful. It broke her heart to see him like that.

“He’s right. He can handle his own affairs. Little Princess, let’s go inside first.”

Before Helian Si could say anything, his hand was unexpectedly pulled up by another pair of hands, followed by Helian You's displeased and cold voice.

The voice rang out right above Helian Si's head. After speaking, the speaker grabbed Helian Si's hand and led him straight into the lecture hall.

"Hey? Third brother, slow down."

Helian Si was pulled along by Helian You and had no choice but to follow him. However, he was worried about leaving the handsome teacher alone and kept looking back.

Helian You quickened his pace, wishing he could crack open the little princess's head to see what was inside and whether she knew what she had just said.

Master? Her husband? Are these kinds of things to be said so casually?

And in front of so many people!

As the brother and sister entered the lecture hall, Nan Rong Jinghua, whose face had been somber, instantly became icy cold, and without uttering a word, she sent chills down everyone's spine.

Beneath the long, silvery silk, her eyes glanced at Lin Zijing in Gu Haoran's arms, then looked up into Gu Haoran's eyes, her thin, clear lips parting slightly.

"You're welcome?"

Gu Haoran felt a chill run down his spine, but then heard Nan Rong Jinghua speak calmly again, "We await your arrival."
