Touya Yaoyao

Chapter 107 Her Guesses

This was probably the first time Zhao Hede had felt so panicked. Even back then, when she thought she might miss out on the throne, she had never been so terrified. But now, she had the illusion that she might not live tonight.

Or perhaps it wasn't a misperception. After all, the man holding her had already lost his mind. He was like a ferocious beast that had just dealt with the fact that its territory had almost been taken away, and he was eager to make sure that the territory was safe.

With a loud bang, he kicked open the tightly closed door, then carried the person into the room. He casually closed the door with his foot and walked straight to the bed. Zhao Hede heard the loud noise of the door being kicked open so rudely and felt that he was probably doomed.

The thought had barely crossed her mind when she was thrown onto the bed. Beneath her were soft blankets, and in front of her stood a man who looked down at her with a burning, predatory gaze, as if he were examining his prey.

Due to inertia, Zhao Hede's clothes became slightly loose. She subconsciously turned her head away, looking somewhat fragile and pitiful, and said softly:

"Can't we talk this out properly?"

Bai Juncheng remained silent with a cold face, then climbed onto the bed expressionlessly. His tall figure knelt on the bed, and he reached out to touch Zhao Hede's chin, then gripped it tightly.

Like a warning, like a temptation, like anger and like sorrow, Bai Juncheng leaned down and whispered in Zhao Hede's ear:

"Zhao Hede, I've worked so hard to benefit you, and this is how you treat me?! Letting that guard climb into your bed, what do you take me for?! Huh?!"

As the words drew to a close, the threat and anger intensified, like barely suppressed rage. Zhao Hede subconsciously swallowed, then gesticulated wildly in his defense:

"How can you blame me? I'm a human being, not a machine. Can't I have...have some physiological needs? Besides, nothing...nothing happened, right?"

Towards the end, whether out of guilt or shame, her tone grew softer and softer. Hearing this, Bai Juncheng let out a soft 'heh' and murmured:

"So, it turns out I was the one who was wrong?"

After saying that, he raised his head and looked sharply at Zhao Hede. Zhao Hede did not dare to look at him and subconsciously turned her head away, but the other party directly grabbed her chin. Then, the bed curtains fell down, and everything was already self-evident.

What bad intentions could Bai Juncheng possibly have? He knew it was just that his little one couldn't stand being alone and was hungry, so he wanted to hunt for food.

It's okay, it's really okay. Anyway, he has plenty of time and energy to feed her. He wants to see if this little thing will still be so hungry and indiscriminate in eating things after he has fed her.

Bai Taoyi confidently promised to go eat something, but in the end, he led people to wander aimlessly around the palace. The sun was shining brightly today, and the roses in the palace were in full bloom. Yu Yaoyao looked at the blooming flowers around her with a bored expression.

Her original plan was to find out if the video content was real before deciding to hand over the video she recorded to Zhao Hede, but Bai Taoshi said there was no need, and that it could be given directly to His Majesty.

Well, she listened to him, and as a result, the two of them wandered around aimlessly, unable to hand over the video at all.

Perhaps she shouldn't have listened to Bai Taoshi, Yu Yaoyao thought to herself. Otherwise, she would have already left the palace to play, instead of running around here like a headless fly.

Unlike Yu Yaoyao's gloom, Bai Taoshi was in a good mood. He turned his head to look at Yu Yaoyao, who was deep in thought, and smiled.

He subconsciously reached out and grasped Yu Yaoyao's hand tightly, as if afraid something would slip away.

Startled by Bai Taoshi's actions, Yu Yaoyao glanced at him in surprise and waved her hand to herself. But Bai Taoshi did not let go; instead, he looked at her tenderly, as if he were looking at a lover.

Yu Yaoyao felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange, so strange that she wanted to run away, especially Bai Taoshi's eyes, which made her feel panicked.

She didn't know why she felt this way, but she always felt that this kind of gaze was uncontrollable and troublesome, and she... hated trouble.

Unable to break free, Yu Yaoyao could only remind her:

"Shirotouya, you're hurting me."

Bai Taoshi responded softly, still not letting go, but looking at Yu Yaoyao with gentle eyes.

Upon seeing this, Yu Yaoyao subconsciously frowned. Just as she was about to struggle, she was hugged again. Yu Yaoyao thought that Bai Taoshi must be sick, otherwise why would he always want to be hugged?

"Yaoyao, I will never leave you, I swear."

A strange voice rang in Yu Yaoyao's ears, sounding like a promise. Yu Yaoyao was puzzled as to why the other person would have such an idea, and even more puzzled as to why they were telling her this!

Seriously, shouldn't these kinds of things be said by boyfriends and girlfriends?! They're not that far along, are they?! After all, Shiro Momoya has never confessed to her, and she hasn't agreed to be his girlfriend. And... wait, something seems to have been overlooked??

She frowned to herself and subconsciously began to recall things. She wasn't recalling all the scenes of her time with Bai Taoshi, but rather what she had seen and heard today.

The reason she started reminiscing was that she suddenly realized she seemed to have overlooked something important, something particularly important, and something that should be related to her.

Upon leaving home, they encountered Bai Taoya and Wang Yao, who were driven away by Bai Taoya. They then arrived at the palace, where they used a drone to survey the area. They found a room, recorded a video, and went to find His Majesty Zhao Hede.

Then they discovered that the guards were trying to climb into his bed. In the end, Bai Juncheng dealt with the guards. In order to prevent the situation from escalating, Bai Taoshi was sent to stop them. In the end, Bai Taoshi summoned the guard captain, and the guard captain said... Your Highness?!

Yu Yaoyao suddenly realized what she had overlooked: the attitude of everyone in the palace towards Bai Taoshi. Although the concept of the monarch and his subjects in Zhao Kingdom was not very strong, they still maintained basic manners and etiquette.

When General Yu mentions His Majesty, there is always a hint of respect in his voice; the guard commander was reserved when facing His Majesty; and His Majesty yielded when Bai Taoshi tried to stop him.

Logically speaking, Her Majesty shouldn't have given up just because of a single glance from Shirato Ya, but she did it anyway.

Furthermore, Shiro Momoya's attitude towards His Majesty wasn't exactly disrespectful; rather, it carried an inexplicable sense of dependence, somewhat like a child's attitude towards their mother.

I remember last time, Bai Taoshi said some things that were too certain, such as that His Majesty was a very good person, and that his relationship with His Majesty was not like that of a subject and an emperor, where the subject was always filled with fear and trepidation.

Also, she realized strangely this time that Shirato Ya shouldn't need to be blindfolded when coming to the palace, because she was blindfolded both times she came, so she had no idea whether Shirato Ya was blindfolded or not.

But judging from the fact that he kissed her in the car today, she at least doesn't need it.

Adding to that his strange behavior when the prince disappeared earlier, I even complained that it wasn't him who was kidnapped. But that was only when he wasn't the prince. If he were the prince, it would be normal for him to be scared when he saw the scene of my kidnapping!

And then there was his act of stopping Bai Juncheng. I was afraid of escalating the situation, so I wanted him to speak up and stop me, but he directly summoned the commander of the guards. What's even stranger is that he actually summoned the commander of the guards.

He knew everything about the palace, his excessive concern about the fire in the European district, his close relationship with the district chief's children, and the Ye family's excessive flattery and concern for him. Everything seemed to have an answer.

Yes, a prince of a country, the future monarch, who would dare to be negligent, and who could be negligent?! Although the prince of Zhao Kingdom may not necessarily succeed to the throne, it should be a foregone conclusion for him.

His Majesty's deep concern and guilt over the prince's disappearance years ago suggests that he will do everything in his power to pass the throne to him. And Bai Juncheng, as the prince's father, would he really allow his son's throne to be so easily taken away?

The answers were self-evident, so Yu Yaoyao looked at Bai Taoshi and asked a question:

"Shirotouya, are you a member of the royal family?!"

Bai Taoshi tightened his grip on Yu Yaoyao's hand, seemingly stiffening and tensing up. Then, he smiled and said jokingly:

"No, my surname is Bai, you know, I'm a member of the Bai family, aren't I?"

But when Yu Yaoyao asked him twice more, without exception, Bai Taoshi brushed it off with jokes each time, and Yu Yaoyao seemed to understand.
