“Avenge me?” Ye Siming was puzzled and frowned slightly.

Gu Nuo’er nodded obediently. “Yes, the person who bullied us last time was the big baddie Ji Yongwang’s son.

“Today, Baby Nuo went with Father to his house and beat him up. We even took away the money they earned from doing evil deeds.”

The child narrowed her eyes, her big and beautiful grape-like eyes curved into crescents.

She twisted her small body with her small hands behind her back, looking like she was waiting to be praised.

However, Ye Siming fell silent for a moment before saying, “They didn’t bully me.”

“They did!” The child almost stomped her feet. She pointed at a faint mark on Ye Siming’s eyebrow that almost couldn’t be seen anymore.

“They caused Elder Brother Siming to be injured! This wound must have been very painful back then!”

Gu Nuo’er clenched her fists tightly, her eyes shining. “Elder Brother Siming is my good friend. In the future, if anyone bullies you, I’ll bully them!”

Ye Siming was stunned and looked down at the child in front of him.

She was born delicate and weak, but her big eyes seemed to have endless vitality in them, forever sparkling with the luster of the morning star.

Although she was young, she had many ideas and was very protective of those close to her.

For some reason, he felt like chuckling from joy.

However, just as a smile had crept up to his lips when Ye Siming deliberately suppressed it.

He pursed his thin lips and looked elsewhere, coughing twice. “You just have to protect yourself from being bullied.”

After a while, Madam Bai came and said that the food was ready.

It was noon and Gu Nuo’er sat beside Gu Yihan, looking at the dazzling array of delicacies on the table.

They were not fanciful fish or meat dishes but were home-cooked dishes that piqued one’s appetite.

They smelled delicious.

Gu Nuo’er stuck both chopsticks into meatballs and held one in each hand. Her lips glistened as she ate happily.

Gu Yihan looked sideways at the young boy who was silently eating with his head lowered.

He took the initiative to say to Bai Yi. “How can we not have good wine to go with the food? Wouldn’t that be less interesting?”

Bai Yi was stunned.

He originally wanted to serve wine because the emperor’s alcohol tolerance had always been good. However, the emperor had brought the princess out today by himself.

Bai Yi was only worried that drinking would cause trouble, so he didn’t let his wife serve it.

Hearing this, he quickly got a servant to bring over a vat of high-quality strong alcohol.

“Your Majesty, have a drink.” Bai Yi poured him a cup.

Just as he was about to pour himself a cup, he saw Gu Yihan’s hand holding the wine cup in Ye Siming’s direction.

Gu Yihan raised his eyebrows slightly. “Young man, do you know how to drink?”

When Ye Siming heard this, he put down his chopsticks and looked over with a deep and cold gaze.

Gu Yihan pointed at the vat of strong wine. “As the princess’s guard, you have to take into consideration that you’ll encounter many situations. Drinking is only one of them. Are you good at drinking?”

Ye Siming said quietly after a while, “Not bad.”

“Alright!” Gu Yihan seemed pleased. “Give him a big bowl.”

Bai Yi and Madam Bai’s eyes almost popped out.

The emperor was using a cup, but he wanted Ye Siming to drink wine with a big bowl?

This… was bullying a child!

However, Gu Yihan was the emperor after all. Seeing that Bai Yi did not move after a long time passed, he raised his eyebrows. “Why? Bai Yi, do you have a different opinion to what I said?”

“Your subject wouldn’t dare. It’s just that… it’s just that Siming is still young after all. This subject is worried…”

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Siming had already stood up and placed a vat of strong wine next to his empty bowl.

Ye Siming quickly filled a bowl for himself, raised it to toast the emperor, and finished it without changing his expression.

Gu Yihan laughed loudly and clapped his hands. “Great tolerance!”

He slowly drained his wine cup.

Bai Yi watched anxiously from the side.

Everyone knew that the emperor’s alcohol tolerance was the best! It was only possible for him to pretend to be drunk and lie to you!

It was impossible for him to be knocked down by drinking too much!
