Chapter 114: Chapter 113 The Butler Comes to the Rescue

Qu Tong felt quite helpless, as she actually didn’t need so many people to protect her. As everyone knew, she was an F-rank individual, incapable of causing much trouble, and usually, no one would specifically target her.

"Where is the boss? Didn’t the boss return before us?" Wen You asked curiously.

"I don’t know, I just woke up," Qu Tong honestly replied.

"You have it easy, we have to get up and train at 6 AM every day," Wen You said, filled with envy.

Uh...

Touching her nose, Qu Tong suddenly thought of what the Empress Dowager had said, Si Yuting was extremely disciplined. She wondered if waking up so late would leave a bad impression on him.

Qu Tong turned around and saw Si Yuting coming down the stairs.

"Your Highness, good morning," Qu Tong greeted sweetly and demurely.

No matter the impression, one must always put on their best behavior.

Si Yuting glanced at Qu Tong, finding it quite difficult to respond with a "Good morning."

His gaze lingered on Qu Tong’s face for a moment before asking, "When are you going to school?"

"Are you planning to take me, Your Highness?" Qu Tong cocked her head, with a sly smile in her eyes.

Si Yuting hesitated for a moment.

Wen You’s chuckle came from the side.

Si Yuting shot a cold look over, causing Wen You to quickly cover his mouth, and Cheng Feng to lose the amused look in his eyes, pretending to be serious.

The butler came to the rescue, "Your Highness, I have the lady’s class schedule. I will remind you one hour before this afternoon."

Si Yuting looked indifferently at Butler Chi.

"Alright."

Qu Tong could barely contain her amusement.

Si Yuting remained expressionless, no longer looking at Qu Tong, and flopped on the couch with long strides, his voice cool and deep: "Is everything at the base arranged properly?"

"You can count on me; the Insect Clan wouldn’t find a single loophole to exploit," Cheng Feng assured confidently, with a rakish tilt of his eyebrow.

"There’s a seminar at the First Military Academy later, go in my place," Si Yuting ordered, brooking no refusal.

Cheng Feng immediately turned pale, "Me again? Can’t the boss send someone else?"

He hinted with his eyes at Wen You by his side.

Wen You slapped Cheng Feng on the back, "If your eye is twitching, go get it treated, stop freaking darting around."

Si Yuting just watched with an expressionless face.

Cheng Feng sighed deeply, "As expected, nothing goes smoothly without me."

"Yes, yes, you’re right," Wen You responded noncommittally.

After listening to the three of them discuss work for a while, Qu Tong thoughtfully took out a watermelon and had the butler cut it for them.

Qu Tong had class at one in the afternoon, so she didn’t cook, just had a Nutrient Solution.

At noon, the butler timely reminded Si Yuting it was time to take Qu Tong to school.

Upon reaching the school, Qu Tong unfastened her seatbelt and thanked Si Yuting.

"Thank you for the trouble, Your Highness."

Si Yuting’s flying machine was too conspicuous, many people had seen it on the Star Network, and as soon as they recognized it, they knew it belonged to someone who admired Si Yuting.

No sooner had the hatch opened than Qu Tong was met with the fervent gazes of the crowd.

Some even took photos and posted them online.

"Eh? Why isn’t it the War God Your Highness?" Voices from below expressed confusion.

"Who is that woman? Why is she coming down from His Highness’s flying machine?"

Those who recognized Qu Tong said, "The Princess Consort? Don’t you know? The Pharmaceutical Department’s freshman who can grow Energy Plants."

Since returning from the last mission, Qu Tong’s live broadcasts of cooking and selling Energy Fruits and Vegetables had already spread throughout the school.

Although there were still some people who bore malice towards Qu Tong, there were also a significant number of people supporting her; after all, who could resist the temptation of delicious food?

Until Si Yuting got off the flying vehicle with Qu Tong, the onlookers exploded once again.

"Ah! Is the War God Your Highness personally escorting the Princess Consort to school?"

"Hmph, I don’t buy it, it must be that woman pleading persistently for our War God Your Highness to give her a ride."

"Believe it or not, what you see is the truth."

"My idol is at our school? Let me take a look quickly!"

"Make way, let me catch a glimpse of my idol’s divine face."

"Ahhh! The face of War God Your Highness is to die for. I’m going to faint, really going to faint!"

Looking at the crowd that kept pushing forward because Si Yuting got off the flying vehicle, Qu Tong took a scared step backward, her hand reaching to the side.

Si Yuting instinctively wanted to dodge, but the next second, as if he thought of something, he froze in place, allowing Qu Tong’s pale hand to rest on him.

Qu Tong did not notice Si Yuting’s small gesture. She stepped in front of Si Yuting without a word and wrapped her arms around his sturdy ones.

In a soft whisper, "If you had said earlier that you were also getting off the flying vehicle, I wouldn’t have let you stop here. You caused all this, you have to take me out of here."

Her murmuring soft complaints, with her arms being embraced by unfamiliar warmth and softness, caused Si Yuting’s brows to furrow involuntarily.

But he still accompanied Qu Tong and led her into the school.

Si Yuting had an aura that kept strangers at bay, his cold eyes swept over, and the crowd automatically parted to let them through.

They smoothly reached a less crowded area in front of the teachers’ offices.

Qu Tong let out a heavy sigh, deciding that next time she should not let Si Yuting send her off.

Originally, she had only mentioned it casually. Who knew the butler would take it so seriously and just go through with it.

Turning around, she found Si Yuting frowning at her arm.

Qu Tong dropped her hand and asked straightforwardly, "Your Highness dislikes being touched?"

Although it was a question, Qu Tong felt there was a high probability.

"Mhm," Si Yuting did not deny.

"Oh~" Qu Tong curled her lips slightly, dragging out the word with a hint of playfulness and a smile.

Si Yuting was dazzled for a moment by Qu Tong’s lively eyes and then he said seriously, "You should go to class first. I still have some matters to attend to."

"Okay, see you later, Your Highness." Qu Tong knew Si Yuting was busy and did not linger.

After finishing her class, and on the way she must take to return, Qu Tong encountered Qu Wanwan, whom she had not seen for half a month.

Qu Wanwan seemed not to be doing well, visibly worn out and without the former pride when looking at her, exuding resentment from every pore.

Without waiting for Qu Wanwan to stop her, Qu Tong took the initiative to stop before her, greeting her with good spirits, "Cousin, are you feeling better?"

Qu Wanwan bit her lip, stared at Qu Tong unblinkingly, and after a long while, she finally said, "Did you do it?"

"Cousin, what are you referring to?" Qu Tong raised an eyebrow.

"You spread the test reports, didn’t you? You teamed up with Ke Jun to go against our Qu Family, right? You asked the Crown Prince to investigate our farm, didn’t you? It was all your doing!" Qu Wanwan became increasingly agitated as she spoke, looking as if she wanted to tear Qu Tong apart.

"It’s all because of you that the Third Young Master changed his attitude towards me."

Qu Wanwan also blamed Lan Xingye’s recent coldness on Qu Tong, seeming as if it would make her feel a bit better.

Lan Xingye’s actions were not surprising to Qu Tong; if not now, then later.

A playboy who chases benefits and puts on a show at every opportunity, to fantasize that he would cherish past emotions? Laughable.

"I don’t understand what Cousin is talking about," Qu Tong blinked innocently.

What is this all about? Qu Wanwan’s oversensitivity isn’t fun at all.

"Qu Tong! Stop pretending with me now!" Qu Wanwan yelled at Qu Tong.

"Cousin, I always felt Lan Xingye, that kind of playboy, was unreliable. Look, he’s been hooked by another fish now," Qu Tong said with a look of pity, as if it were really the case.

"You!" Qu Wanwan was livid.
