In the Crown Palace.

  After Little Apple got out of the car, she ran hurriedly into the palace with her small feet.

  Little Apple was a frequent guest in the Crown Palace. Because she was pretty, cute, energetic and interesting and never threw a tantrum, the maids in the palace all liked her.

  “Oh my, Miss Bo, please run a little slower so you won’t fall.” One of the older maids in the palace reminded concernedly after seeing Little Apple run so quickly, afraid that she would fall and hurt herself.

  Little Apple lifted the hems of her skirt as she glanced at the older woman. “Grandma, did Brother Xiaojie come back already?”


  “Crown Prince is back. He’s upstairs right now!”


  “Okay, then I’ll go up to find him!”


  Seeing Little Apple run upstairs, the old maid smiled. Little Apple and the little Crown Prince were really a match made by heaven. One was hyper while the other was quiet. One was passionate while the other was introverted.

  Little Apple ran to Xiaojie’s bedroom and hit the door with her small hands. She pouted, “Brother Xiaojie, did you forget Little Apple after making new friends?

  “Little Apple is really sad! Tonight was Mommy’s concert, but Brother Xiaojie didn’t even speak to Little Apple…… Hm……”


  Yan Hua had commented once that she didn’t know who Little Apple had taken after. Both Bo Yan and her were rather quiet and reserved, but Little Apple wasn’t like them at all and was rather hyper and extroverted.

  “Brother Xiaojie, Grandma told me that you’re in your room. If you don’t open the door, I’ll open iー”


  Before Little Apple could finish speaking, the door was pulled open from inside. Little Apple immediately looked up with a bright smile.

  However, before her smile bloomed fully, her eyes widened a little after seeing who was standing behind the door.

  It wasn’t Brother Xiaojie!

  It was the Nar tribe’s young master.

  He was still wearing his tribe’s unique outfit. He was tall and lean, with his sleeves rolled up his arm to reveal his fair skin.

  Little Apple stared at him for a while.

  He had an indifferent but tender face that didn’t match his age. However, he didn’t look feminine at all. His fringe covered his temperature-less eyes a little and under his well-defined nose, his lips were curled up arrogantly.

  Even though Little Apple was used to seeing handsome men, she was still caught by this exquisite and emo-looking teenager.

  However, no matter how good he looked, to Little Apple, no one could compare to her Brother Xiaojie.

  “Who’s knocking?” Xiaojie had just gone to his wardrobe. When he heard knocking at his door, he got Mo Chengjin to open the door for him.

  Little Apple watched as Xiaojie walked out from his room. After returning to the palace, he had changed out of his white shirt and into a black sweater. It was simple and casual and looked really good on him.

  “Brother Xiaojie, it’s me.”


  Seeing the hyper and adorable Little Apple, Xiaojie placed both of his hands in his pockets as he smiled handsomely. “Don’t you have school tomorrow? Why did you come over so late at night?”


  Little Apple pouted as she moved forward to hug Xiaojie’s arm. “I was afraid that Brother Xiaojie would ignore me after finding new friends.”


  Xiaojie smiled helplessly as he pulled Little Apple’s hands off him. “Let me introduce you, this is Young Master Chengjin from the Nar tribe. Chengjin, this is my Uncle Bo’s little princess. Her nickname is Little Apple.”


  Little Apple reached a hand out and greeted maturely, “Hello, Young Master Chengjin. I actually have another identity!”


  As if knowing what Little Apple would say, Xiaojie hit her head. “Grandma made some supper. Do you want to come in and eat some? Once you’re done, I’ll get Butler Yi to send you back. You still have school tomorrow.”


  “Why are you always talking about school like my Daddy? I’m not interested in studying at all.”


  Staring at the animated Little Apple, Mo Chengjin, who rarely smiled, couldn’t help but smile a little. “I heard that Your Highness is a genius.”


  Little Apple hummed. “Brother Xiaojie is clever, so he’s definitely a genius. There only needs to be one genius in a family, so it’s fine that I’m bad at studying!”


  Xiaojie placed his right hand by his lips and coughed softly. “How are you so keen on being bad with your studies? Let’s not talk first and go in and eat.”


  Seeing Brother Xiaojie’s stern expression, Little Apple poked her tongue out and followed Xiaojie and Chengjin into the room.

  Brother Xiaojie’s room was really huge and was linked to the study. The interior design was on the cooler side and didn’t look cheery or cute at all. Little Apple had brought her own doll over for decoration the previous time. However, Brother Xiaojie gave it to Sister Tiantian right after.

  After having supper, Xiaojie and Chengjin started talking about official matters and Little Apple grew sleepier the longer she listened to them.

  How old were they? Why did they talk about borders and civil wars like adults? They were so confident on their points, but she was completely confused.

  However, even if Little Apple couldn’t understand their conversation, she could still sit there and stare at Brother Xiaojie for a long time. Brother Xiaojie was really handsome when he was serious. His long lashes cast shadows on his handsome face, while the light shining above him made it seem like he was covered in golden hue. He looked really handsome and charming.

  After chatting with Chengjin for a while, Xiaojie noticed Little Apple nodding off bit by bit, as if she had fallen asleep. He immediately shook his head helplessly.

  He sent a message to call Yi Fan over to bring Little Apple home.

  Little Apple had fallen asleep on the table. When butler Yi carried the little girl out, she pouted and muttered, “Brother Xiaojie, you cannot smile at that princess, alright?”


  After Yi Fan had carried Little Apple out, Xiaojie pressed a hand to his forehead with a sigh. Chengjin leaned back against the chair and stared at Xiaojie.

  A teasing smile appeared on his face. “It seems like this is your baby princess consort?”


  “That is just what the adults thought. I haven’t thought about a princess consort. To me, Little Apple is like my little sister.” When he was younger, he had even given Little Apple a shower and changed her diapers before. He wasn’t interested in young kids. Besides, all of his attention was on studying and official matters right now. He was so busy that he only had four hours maximum to sleep. How did he even have the time to think about the future?……

  After the concert ended, Cen Xi walked out of the stadium. She didn’t flag a taxi and chose to stroll around in the busy city. She wore her earphones and listened to Yan Hua’s new single.

  The image of Yan Hua and Bo Yan holding hands and singing, staring at each other and kissing was too beautiful. It made people yearn for it too. After watching the concert, Cen Xi felt a lot happier.

  She walked about thirty minutes before she returned to her apartment.

  When she opened the door, she was surprised when she saw the lights on. She remembered that she had turned off all of the lights when she left.

  She took out the pepper spray in her bag and tip-toed towards the room. Just as she was about to open the door, someone opened it from inside.

  When she saw who it was, Cen Xi’s eyes widened.
