Chapter 1096: The Two Little Ancestors Started Squabbling Again
The two chatted deep into the night, until Xuexue, too sleepy to stay awake, finally fell asleep.
Only then did Long Rui tuck her in, stand up, and quietly leave.
The next day.
When Xuexue woke up, her room was completely empty. Long Rui was nowhere to be seen, and she began to wonder if she had dreamed it all last night!
"Master, Master, what are you looking for?"
Suddenly, Xiao Taohong’s voice echoed through the room.
Xuexue looked up to see Xiao Taohong floating out of her dimensional space—when had that happened?—along with Little Tiger, both casually perched on the roof beams, smirking at her.
Flustered by being caught looking for Long Rui, Xuexue instantly blushed and stammered, "I... I’m not looking for anything."
Xiao Taohong teased, "Lies, such lies! Do you think we didn’t hear everything last night? Looking for the War Prince, aren’t you? Oh, we heard your oh-so-cringeworthy chatter—so much ’I’ll marry you,’ and ’You’ll marry me.’ We thought you were about to consummate your vows, but guess what? Someone fell asleep at the crucial moment. Boo, such a buzzkill."
Little Tiger chimed in indignantly, "Exactly! Xiao Taohong even got so worked up she almost jumped on top of me! Thank heavens I kept my composure; otherwise, I’d have lost my dignity."
