By this time, the horizon was on the pivot of turning red and orange, and the cicadas had already started to sing their tunes along the perimeters of the woods.
Inside, Lucianna carefully placed Phoenix in the crib. Beside them, Beichen laid Xioabao down on the bed.
Beichen looked at Lucianna, who was now standing with him outside the nursery, trying to pay her respect to him and leave.
But he was not done and acted in jest.
"Mrs. Cui, I would like you to show our guest to her room."
Lucianna wanted to ask him if Ina could do it instead. However, he did not give her a second to reject it.
"This guest is special, so please treat her well," Beichen added, emphasizing "special." He was afraid the woman before him would miss it.
But she did not. Irritated, she bowed her head, and her eyebrows furrowed, which he could not see.
"Your Highness does not need to worry about that. I will treat Miss Shen as the honorable guest that she is."
