Fortunately, she was with Han Luoxue, who pulled her back.
"It's alright, these are Doubao and the others."
"Doubao and the others?"
It took Zhou Jie a lot of effort to calm down. She remembered that the last time she saw Doubao, he was still a little tiger.
She could hold two in one hand, but in just six months, they had grown up.
This little tiger is growing way too fast! How is that possible?
Zhou Jie still couldn't believe it.
Do they still recognize me?
Hearing this, Han Luoxue was speechless. Zhou Jie must be out of her mind; how could she be so confident as to think the tiger still remembered her?
Did she feed them? Or did she raise him?
She only came out to play with us for a few days, and so much time has passed. Even a small child would have forgotten about her, let alone a tiger.
"this……"
"Oh, what a heartless little rascal."
Knowing it was a steamed bun, Zhou Jie wasn't so scared anymore, but since it was still on Zhui Feng, she didn't dare to go down.
Looking at the tiger's enormous head, one open mouth could really kill a person.
Four tigers ran over and circled around Zhui Feng, wagging their tails as they did so.
Even from a distance, Han Luoxue could feel their excitement.
Tigers belong to the mountains and forests.
This is their home, the place they belong.
Her space was decent, but it was ultimately too restrictive for the tiger.
"roar……"
Perhaps hearing the children's commotion, two tiger roars came from afar.
Soon, amidst the rising dust, two burly tigers came running over.
"Oh, there's a tiger too?"
Zhou Jie was almost scared out of her wits. How could there be so many tigers in these mountains?
"These are Doubao's parents."
Two large tigers came over and paused for a moment when they saw the four tigers beside Zhui Feng.
Although they couldn't speak, Han Luoxue understood that both of them were probably confused.
They only had three cubs back then, how come there's one more when they come back?
Moreover, the little cubs are so big, their size is almost the same as theirs.
"Roar..." Doubao and the others also roared, and the two sides communicated in animal language.
Zhou Jie was so frightened that she dared not move, even though she knew that, theoretically, these tigers would not harm her.
No matter who it is, with six big tigers surrounding her, how could she not feel guilty and have weak legs?
She's already pretty brave that she didn't wet herself on the spot.
Han Luoxue was still a little worried. The three little tigers were now familiar with Doujia, but...
The two larger ones were unfamiliar to Han Luoxue, who kept her eyes on them, worried that Doujia would be targeted.
However, she was clearly overthinking it. The tiger wasn't that xenophobic, or perhaps it was because they were friends.
"Sister Xue'er, this extra one, could it be Mengyao's?"
Seeing that the tiger ignored her, Zhou Jie observed for a long time before she felt at ease, but she still didn't dare to go down.
"Um."
"Haha, if Mengyao knew, I'd love to see her reaction."
"By the way, you don't know, Mengyao and the Crown Prince don't seem to get along very well. Also, after she got married, she rarely went out. Yu Xiaoxiao went to look for her a few times, but Mengyao didn't really pay any attention to her."
Yu Xiaoxiao? Thinking of that noisy and arrogant woman, Han Luoxue knew that she was just a minor character.
Such people are not worth fearing. Yu Xiaoxiao was trying to curry favor with Mengyao, while Mengyao was only trying to show off her superiority.
She must be feeling terrible right now.
Six months ago, when they got married, the Crown Prince and Mengyao came together. Suddenly, the Crown Prince became interested in her, a village girl, even though she had a man.
How could the proud Mengyao possibly stand this?
The Crown Prince wanted her to be his concubine, but Mengyao…
They probably want her dead, right?
They only managed to escape the Crown Prince and Mengyao's pursuit because they ran fast.
Han Luoxue knew in her heart that once she entered the capital, Mengyao and the Crown Prince would be her greatest enemies.
"The Crown Prince has been making overtures to our family lately. I wonder if he's lost his mind."
Zhou Jie complained.
Han Luoxue, however, thought more deeply. The Crown Prince was kind to the Zhou family for two reasons: one was the news of Prince Zhen, and the other was the Zhou family's source of food.
The Zhou family wasn't stupid; they knew that even if they helped the Crown Prince, they would still find it difficult to gain his favor in the future.
After all, they are the Zhenwang Party, even though Zhenwang is no longer around.
"Are you engaged?" Han Luoxue suddenly asked.
"Ah, what? Sister Xue'er?"
Zhou Jie seemed not to understand, so Han Luoxue repeated it again:
"Are you engaged? Or does your family have someone to help you find a partner?"
When asked this, Zhou Jie blushed and replied, "No, no."
Looking at her shy expression, Han Luoxue asked suspiciously:
"You don't have a guy you like, do you?"
Surprisingly, Zhou Jie didn't refute this time.
"Your family doesn't know?" Han Luoxue asked tentatively.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Jie nodded again.
"Is his status too low?"
"I don't care about his identity."
Alright, Han Luoxue understands now.
"You'd better talk to your family as soon as possible. I've met the old general and his wife; they are both very kind people. They aren't people who care so much about social status."
If they only cared about social status, they definitely wouldn't have agreed to my relationship with Han Yuchen.
“Sister Xue’er, my situation is different from yours.”
Zhou Jie sighed, but didn't say anything more.
"Sister Zhou, I'm not trying to scare you, but you really need to make a decision as soon as possible."
