Baby, you've been schemed against

  "Is it either-or again? Is there no third option?" Han Bell blinked her big, watery eyes and asked pitifully.

  "No!" Dongfang Ao said resolutely.

  "Well... then I'll just choose the second one!" Han Bei'er said dejectedly.

  She just left home for a day and came back, her parents would laugh at her to death?

  Moreover, the entire Korean-style house was surrounded by bodyguards like a prison, and even the air wasn't fresh; she didn't want to go back at all!

  "That's more like it!" Dongfang Ao nodded in satisfaction.

  "But still, you can't tell anyone that I'm your fiancée!" Han Bai'er continued the condition she had just proposed.

  "I've told you before, if we go home together, it's only a matter of time before someone finds out!" Dongfang Ao explained patiently.

  "You can say I'm your distant relative!" Han Bei'er blinked her eyes and came up with a plan.

  "No way!" The two words were almost shouted out by Dongfang Ao!

  "Why?" Han Bells was startled and didn't understand why Dongfang Ao had such a fierce reaction.

  "If we are distant relatives, how can we get married in the future?" Dongfang Ao stared at Han Bei'er with extreme dissatisfaction.

  Huh?

  Get married?

  Are you overthinking?

  She is still underage!

  However, at this critical juncture in the negotiations, Han Bei'er did not want to provoke Dongfang Ao.

  "Or I'll just say I'm your maid, then! Are you satisfied now, Master Dongfang?!" Han Bei'er turned her eyes and came up with another flawless plan.

  The maid is off school and will naturally accompany Young Master home!

  Isn't this reason enough?

  "Would you rather be my maid than my fiancée?" Dongfang Ao asked Han Bei'er in a low tone, with a hint of disappointment flashing across his bright eyes.

  "No way! I just escaped from a cage, you have to let me be free for some days, right? Or else I'll be unhappy!" Han Bell grabbed Dongfang Ao's arm and shook it back and forth, pitifully begging him.

  "Hmm... alright!" Dongfang Ao was too hard-hearted to refuse her, so he agreed.

  "Wow!" Han Bei'er jumped up and down excitedly.

  She knew this trick would work!

  Before, whenever she wanted something from her grandfather, as long as she used this trick, it was always effective!

  Grandpa...

  Thinking of her grandfather, Han Bei'er's eyes dimmed.

  "What's wrong?" Dongfang Ao asked her anxiously.

  Even the slightest change in expression couldn't escape his eyes.

  "It's nothing!" Han Bei'er suppressed the sadness in her heart and forced a smile as she said.

  "Baili!" Dongfang Ao lifted Baili's face, making her look into his eyes. "No matter what's on your mind, you can tell me with confidence! No matter what wrong you've done or what trouble you've gotten into, you can tell me, I'll do anything for you! I'll take responsibility for everything!"
