"Cold." Su Nuo looked at her master who was standing so close to her, and unconsciously repeated.

Bei Chen Han smiled in satisfaction, his usually dark eyes were also shining brightly. Su Nuo felt as though she was looking at a fool, as though the whole world had lost all color except for the man in front of her.

When both of them had finished eating, Su Nuo finally regained consciousness. Only then did she realize that Master had not gone to court yet, so she reminded them, "Master —"

Bei Chen Han looked at her in dissatisfaction. Su Nuo thought it was strange, but still said: "Han." All of a sudden, Bei Chen Han smiled and kissed her on the cheek. Su Nuo's face turned red, and she lowered her head: "Don't you want to go to court today?"

Bei Chen Han froze, and immediately said: "I want to stay with Xiao'er forever, I can't let them take Xiao'er away." As he said that, he hugged Su Nuo even tighter.

Su Nuo gently nodded her head. She did not understand her master's words, but she did understand the first part of the sentence. When had her master ever told her this before?

She only wanted to cherish it, no matter how precious it was. It was just that these few days, no matter where Bei Chen Han went, he would always bring Su Nuo along, but strictly speaking, these days, Bei Chen Han did not leave the Duke's Mansion. Instead, he just carried Su Nuo together in his study room.

Of course, such a thing was an incomparable blessing for Su Nuo, but on the contrary, it was rather painful for Housekeeper Zhou. In his words, the current situation could no longer be described as painful.

In the study.

Su Nuo was in his white dress, and Bei Chen Han held her in his arms.

This dress was something that Bei Chen Han had his men make. In fact, Bei Chen Han had made many things for Su Nuo these days. Even Su Nuo had forgotten that he was a female slave.

Just like now.

Bei Chen Han placed his chin on Su Nuo's neck, one hand holding Su Nuo's hand: "Nore, let me teach you writing."

Su Nuo nodded.

"Which word does Na'er want to learn the most?" Bei Chen Han asked.

Su Nuo thought for a moment, then turned around to look at Bei Chen Han uneasily: "Xiao'er wants to learn Han's name, is that okay?"

"Of course." Bei Chen Han followed his posture and kissed Su Nuo's face. It was a kiss that was clear and was filled with tenderness.

Su Nuo was stunned. She allowed Bei Chen Han to hold her hand and slowly write three words on the white paper.

This kind of master caused her unreal feelings these days to continuously grow bigger, making her feel like it was just a dream. She woke up from a dream, her tea became cold, but nothing had changed. She was still her, always standing furthest from her master.

It was just that Su Nuo did not know that all of this was not a dream, but a real one. It was just that when she thought back to many years later, this was a kind of cruel and gentle dream, a nightmare that was even worse than a beautiful dream.

Many years later, no matter how hard Su Nuo tried to forget it, the despair that went straight to the bone marrow, the disappointment that she felt, would never leave her side. She would follow her for the rest of her life.

Housekeeper Zhou was still knocking on the door with food in hand. As soon as he entered the room, he staggered and fell to the floor, his plate and food all over the floor.

Surprised, Su Nuo rushed down to help Butler Zhou clean up. Beichen's expression did not change as he looked at Housekeeper Zhou. He looked like he could kick him out at any time, but in the end, he did not do so. He just stood up and walked towards the bookshelf.

If he didn't succeed, even if he didn't die, he would still be seriously injured by his prince. Moreover, the injury he received from his prince last time was just a little bit better.

Su Nuo packed up her things and returned the plate to Steward Zhou. Steward Zhou took the opportunity to whisper into his ear, "Think of a way out. I have something to tell you."

Su Nuo didn't know if she was scared or frightened, but when she looked at Housekeeper Zhou with her eyes wide open, he almost vomited blood. This Su Nuo's expression was too straightforward. Wasn't she asking the prince to kill him?

Bei Chen Han took a book from the shelf and said to Su Nuo, "Nuo'er, this is a book that you will definitely like."

Su Nuo came back to her senses and nodded her head, but she was still in a daze.

Housekeeper Zhou took the opportunity to leave.

Bei Chen Han walked over, looked at Su Nuo's dirty hands and frowned, then picked up his handkerchief to wipe them away, "In the future, this kind of thing, I don't need to worry, I actually dirtied my son's hands."

Su Nuo still nodded her head, but her heart was filled with emotions. She had never experienced something like this before, but it was still a matter of deceiving her master. Thus, she had no idea what to do.

She didn't know why, but Su Nuo felt that Housekeeper Zhou must have something important to tell her. Besides, in all these years, Housekeeper Zhou had never come to her on his own accord. This time …

Bei Chen Han had already pulled Su Nuo into his embrace, and placed the book in front of him. For the first time, Su Nuo did not listen to Bei Chen Han properly, but was fully focused on thinking of how to get out of here. Suddenly, Bei Chen Han felt a thought popping up in his mind. His heart thumping, Su Nuo unconsciously clenched her fists. She did not dare to turn around and said, "Han, I, I need some convenience."

Beichen then said, "I'll go with Xiao'er." As he spoke, he pushed himself to his feet.

Su Nuo quickly stopped him, "It's alright, I can handle it myself." As he spoke, he smiled at Bei Chenghan.

Bei Chen Han's expression did not turn any better. Su Nuo became anxious and said: "Han, you, don't go. I will be embarrassed." As he said this, Su Nuo's face actually turned red. She didn't even dare to look at him anymore.

Bei Chen Han frowned, and finally agreed. He pulled Su Nuo along and said, "You have to come back quickly."

Su Nuo nodded her head and was about to leave when Bei Chen Han pulled back Su Nuo and said worriedly, "If anything happens, I'll definitely yell, I'll definitely go save Nuo'er!" Su Nuo looked at the abnormal look in Bei Chen Han's eyes and then nodded.

After Su Nuo closed the door, she rushed to Housekeeper Zhou. She did not want her master to wait for her. She had a premonition that even if her master waited a bit longer, it would still be a torture to him. She didn't know what kind of courage made her think this way, but the thought was getting stronger and stronger these days. It was just that even if it was just her imagination, she would still happily enjoy it.

Just as Su Nuo was getting anxious, Housekeeper Zhou suddenly pulled her to one side. Su Nuo was startled and was about to say something, but Housekeeper Zhou stopped her, saying, "It's me."

Once Su Nuo saw that it was Housekeeper Zhou, she relaxed.

Housekeeper Zhou released her. Su Nuo quickly asked: "Housekeeper Zhou, what are you looking for me for?"

Housekeeper Zhou looked at Su Nuo, his expression somewhat heavy. "Do you feel that the Prince has not been normal these past few days?"

Su Nuo froze and looked straight at Housekeeper Zhou.

At this moment, Su Nuo was actually afraid. This feeling tightly wrapped around her, making it so that she had nowhere to hide.

"It seems like you've already felt that the prince is abnormal, this is good as well. If it's like this, then you can understand what I've told you."

Su Nuo instinctively wanted to turn around and leave. She suddenly regretted coming out. Actually, she shouldn't have come out. She should have listened to her master and stayed by his side, not going anywhere.

Housekeeper Zhou's face grew more and more serious as if he had remembered something bad. "Su Nuo, what I want to tell you is, no matter how the prince treats you right now, this is all a lie."

Su Nuo's eyes widened, as if she couldn't understand what the man in front of her meant. In fact, Su Nuo really couldn't understand the meaning behind Housekeeper Zhou's words.

"In fact, before —"

"Nore." Suddenly, an angry voice could be heard from not too far away.

Housekeeper Zhou looked at the ice-cold Beichen, knowing that his plan had failed again. He quickly lowered his voice and said: "Remember, no matter what happens, you must stay by the prince's side. Otherwise, we won't be able to afford the consequences."

Su Nuo was already at a loss as to how to react. Bei Chen Han had already walked up quickly and pulled Su Nuo into his arms, his eyes cold as he looked at Housekeeper Zhou, who quickly said: "I was asking her what kind of food your highness would like to eat, was it?" Housekeeper Zhou looked at Su Nuo.

He was sure that if he shook his head now, his head would be off.

Su Nuo came back to her senses and nodded.

Bei Chen Han's eyes were still as cold as ever, like a wild beast that realized that its territory had been invaded, and said without any good feelings: "There is no next time, otherwise, this king will make you die miserably." With that, he pulled Su Nuo back.

Housekeeper Zhou felt cold all over, then he bitterly smiled. He was playing with fire now, but if that person hadn't helped him like that, he wouldn't be a housekeeper right now, nor would he care about such troublesome matters.

Laughing, his heavy face was only filled with an unforgettable sadness.

Bei Chen Han held Su Nuo tightly in his arms: "They are all bad people, they are all bad people, Xiao'er should stay away from them, do you understand?"

Su Nuo nodded, but her ears were still filled with the words she had just said to Housekeeper Zhou.

He asked her if she thought her master was abnormal, and if she had to stay away from him for even a moment.

Why?

Su Nuo suddenly had this thought. Although she was glad that her master had appeared and interrupted everything, she wanted to know now.

Yes, she could not deny that her master was abnormal. How could such a master be normal? The master who was always treating her as a substitute for his sister, but now, she felt that in this vast world, her master could only see her. If she did not have her ridiculous thoughts, her master would go crazy.

Su Nuo wanted to laugh, but she couldn't because Housekeeper Zhou had told her so. He had clearly told her that everything was fake. Although she didn't know why it was fake, she knew it was … fake.
