Book 19: Chapter 46
“Ah, it’s you.” Puzzled, Liu Yue titled her head: “Is Miss Vera looking for me? We’ve already finished dinner, so there shouldn’t be any reason to see me, right?”
The youngster responded with a somewhat awkward nod. He had his fingers intertwined. He shyly looked at one of the walls but never spoke. Liu Yue patiently waited at the door. As a Princess, she wouldn’t allow her man into her room, while the youngster was a bodyguard. Subsequently, he wouldn’t ask to be let into the room he was supposed to guard.
It was just a simple interaction during lunch, but that was enough for the two to consider each other slightly more important than previously. The youngster didn’t know what the matter was with him, either. Ever since lunch, his hand seemed to carry the young girl’s warmth and scent.
“What exactly is the matter?”
Liu Yue’s patience eventually ran dry. The youngster was torn and had a red face. She had no idea what he was after. The way he behaved disgusted her a bit, though… Seeing him waffle made him seem almost identical the boys at her school.
“It’s Miss Vera’s order.” The youngster took in several deep breaths to calm his racing heart. In a business tone, he clarified, “Miss Vera ordered me to protect you four from now.”
“Wait, aren’t you supposed to be guarding Miss Vera?”
Liu Yue was surprised. She gently placed her hands on her chest. She felt quite apologetic. She didn’t mind who her bodyguard was as she didn’t dislike them. She was fine whether it was him or Ying. She was aware of his feelings for Miss Vera as she had seen her dad’s maid; in other words, she was aware of Luna’s feelings for her dad. If her dad was to assign her somewhere away from him, Luna would probably be more miserable living than dead. His beloved Vera assigning him to her was no big deal; however, she assumed the youngster would be sad.
Unlike what Liu Yue believed, the youngster’s expression didn’t show any change. That left her absolutely perplexed. Actually, it made her feel stupid… She was worried for him, while he thought nothing of it. Hence, it made her feel as though her concern was fed to a dog.
