She was overjoyed and wanted to go in. As for the excuse, she would say that she had barged in after losing her way, and that she had gone in to thank him after chancing upon him there and recalling how he had called out to the Eldest Princess that day.
With this back-and-forth, wouldn't the Young Marquis slowly fall in love with her?
Bai Yu'er's mind was racing as she made calculations, but before she could pass the moon gate, an arrow shot over and hit the tree in front of her!
If she had taken another step closer, the arrow would have hit her neck!
"Who is it? This is Young Master's courtyard. You can't enter without reporting."
Bai Yu'er leaned against the root of the tree in shock. "I… I accidentally barged in."
Xiao Zheng was carrying a bow on his back. The arrowheads in his quiver flashed with a cold glint. He frowned. "Accidental? Where were you going?"
