Bai Yi couldn't help but laugh. He knew all too well how Lu Zheng had been transferred to the Royal Academy—it was Gu Xin who had recommended him.
Their third daughter was clearly not the type to side with outsiders; at a crucial moment, she was thinking of relieving Lord Gu's worries.
"White Robe, sit down quickly, let's chat," Gu Xin said, patting the seat next to her.
"Okay." The man in white sat down.
“White Robe, I remember when I met you I was twelve years old! You looked just like this back then, how come you still look the same after more than five years?” Gu Xin said.
"Third Miss, I am good-looking and do not look old!" the man in white said proudly.
“That’s not what I meant. I meant, you were single back then, how come you’re still single after all these years? You’re twenty-seven or twenty-eight this year?” Gu Xin said.
"Pfft!" Zheng Qiu, who was eating fruit next to her, couldn't help but laugh, then coughed twice, "Ahem, sorry, I didn't mean to, really."
"..." The woman in white suddenly felt like she had a mother. "Third Miss, General Lu and Lord Gu have given me many tasks. Where am I supposed to find a wife?"
“That’s true! I see that Bai San, Bai Si, Bai Ba, and Bai Shi all have wives, but you, the eldest, don’t. That’s why I’m worried about you.” Gu Xin sighed.
"From now on, I will be working for the Third Miss. As for my marriage, please take care of it for me!" The man in white sighed. "It's not that no girls are pursuing me, it's just that my heart is unmoved! There's no one who can capture my attention. Most importantly, I've witnessed the love between the Third Miss and Prince Lu. Ordinary people can hardly stir my heart!"
"Tch! I've never seen you with a girl around. Besides, you're getting older now, are you planning to find a young girl when you're thirty? Let me tell you, when my dad was thirty, my sister was already old enough to be getting married," Gu Xin said.
"Then why don't you find someone for me when you get back, Third Miss? As long as it's someone you find and you think it's acceptable, I'm willing to accept it, okay?" The man in white said helplessly.
"Okay, it's settled then." Gu Xin said, then turned to Zheng Qiu and asked, "Xiao Qiu, what about you? Do you have a guy you like?"
Bai Yi and Zheng Qiu exchanged a glance across Gu Xin, then looked at Gu Xin in horror and said in unison, "No way, Third Miss (Xin Xin), are you planning to match us up? I don't like people who are too thin (I won't be too old)."
Gu Xin rolled her eyes: "What are you two thinking! Do you actually have feelings for each other?"
The two quickly shook their heads and breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Xin laughed and said, "I'm not blind. Do you think I can't tell that you two don't like each other? I just wanted to ask Xiao Qiu what kind she likes so I can find her a partner! It's the same whether you find one or two."
Zheng Qiu chuckled: "Xin Xin, I'm not thinking about these things right now. It's not too late to think about them after I finish what I need to do."
Gu Xin nodded: "Alright then. You still have your brothers and sisters, someone to help you choose. Unlike Bai Yi, no one cares about him, he has to take care of others. So I have to worry about him!"
Zheng Qiu smiled.
The woman in white twitched her lips, wanting to retort, "I didn't make you worry about me!"
"Bai Er!" Gu Xin suddenly shouted Bai Er again, and then said to Bai Yi and Zheng Qiu, "I forgot about this guy. He's been a real headache. Let's just solve this problem once and for all."
