Gong Pingan and Xiao Rou arrived at the door just in time to see a few people secretly taking photos with their cameras. Gong Pingan frowned: "What are you doing?"

The bodyguards outside immediately rushed over when they heard the commotion, and surrounded the few people. However, the assistant's face was currently cold like never before, and he directly walked in front of the few people and lifted their hats. It was actually a few students, causing Gong Pingan and Xiao Rou to heave a sigh of relief.

But the assistant did not have any signs of relaxing, and the few students quickly spoke in Japanese, no one knew what they were explaining, but the assistant still had an expression of wanting to kill, so Gong Pingan and Xiao Rou looked at each other.

"Let them go, they're just children." It was unknown when Ruo Linglong had walked out of the classroom, but Gong Pingan realised that Ruo Linglong's appearance was completely different from before. Her eyebrows were drawn in a bland manner, and her eyes were filled with a gentle light. She was wearing a linen dress, and her long black hair gently fell on her shoulders.

When the few students saw Ruo Linglong, their eyes were filled with excitement, but the assistant's face was just as ugly, "They have not confirmed their identities, it would not be good to let them go like this …"

The assistant was still talking non-stop, but Ruo Linglong had already squatted down and picked up their cameras, opening them full of photos. The students, seeing Ruo Linglong's intimate look, could not help but explain it to her in English, "We are all foreign students, and because we have heard that the only noble family in Eastern Japan is still living outside, we could not help but get excited and come here to peek."

Ruo Linglong smiled as he listened to them, then turned to look at the assistant, and conversed with them in Japanese. At this time, both Gong Pingan and Xiao Rou were so shocked, they were speechless. She said something, returned the camera to the students, smiled at them, and then pulled Gong Pingan over, "Help me take a photo with the students."

Before Gong Pingan could react, he had already taken a picture with her and the few other students. The students left the orphanage with gratitude, but the assistant's face was even uglier than a dead person's, so Ruo Linglong directly returned to the classroom as if he did not see anything. Gong Pingan gently pulled at the corner of her clothes, and Xiao Rou only indicated that she should not speak anymore.

let out a long sigh. He could actually think of using the internet's method to reveal her whereabouts and identity, and first of all, use this kind of friendly appearance to infiltrate the hearts of the East Japanese people. It was really secretive, and Xiao Rou felt that he was inferior to her, as in the next few days, the world and even the East Japan News would announce Ruo Linglong's identity to the public.

He was originally quite an outstanding assistant, but for some reason, he didn't seem to be at odds with Ruo Linglong's aura. When Xiao Rou glanced at Gong Pingan, he immediately understood what she meant. With just a nod, Xiao Rou walked into the classroom to accompany Ruo Linglong, while Gong Pingan slowly walked to the assistant's side, "Um, are you willing to talk to me?"

The assistant looked at Gong Ping in astonishment. After a moment of hesitation, she followed him into the courtyard. "Is this your first time meeting a woman with such a special status?" But then again, this assistant had served Ruo Long for a few days, yet she couldn't even remember his name. It was as if she was already used to describing him as Xiao Rou, other words were unnecessary.

During the few days he had been working here, he had followed Ruo Linglong every step of the way. He already knew Gong Pingan as a woman very well, but even so, the assistant had still built a small defense line in his heart. He would take care of anyone or anything that threatened the princess' safety.

Gong Pingan seemed to have seen through the assistant's thoughts, and only chuckled, "I just want to tell you, if you follow Ruo Linglong in the future, then no one else will be able to make you loyal. Do you understand what I mean?"

The assistant nodded, but then seemed to remember something, "Actually, I didn't do anything to anger Ruo Linglong today, I was only resenting that I didn't fulfill my responsibilities."

Gong Pingan looked at him suspiciously, "Because the Prime Minister wanted you to hide Ruo Linglong's identity until after they meet?" Originally, after Gong Pingan showed his proof of identity, the Prime Minister of Eastern Japan had sent a large number of people to protect this secret. He was prepared to catch Ruo Linglong off guard and add some extra weight to his strength when the new law was proposed.

However, the assistant shook his head with a smile, "It's not because of that. The news about the princess has already been fired up for a few days, but because there are too many empty promises, it was not accepted by the majority of the people. The Prime Minister did not particularly ask to conceal the identity of the princess, he just wanted the princess to appear in front of the people of East Japan with dignity."

"Then …" Gong Pingan looked at the assistant in shock, "Why are you hiding Ruo Linglong's identity?" The assistant did not say anything, but Gong Pingan could not stand seeing such a suspenseful person, so he just sat beside the assistant. When would he ever be willing to let the assistant go?

At this moment, Ruo Linglong and Xiao Rou were still in the classroom helping the little child modify her drawings. Ever since they met in the prison, Xiao Rou had also given He Ruochen's diary, but they had once deeply loved each other, after all. Thus, when they were getting along with each other, even if the two of them were careful, there would still be some displeasure.

In their eyes, Gong Pingan had always been a child who hadn't grown up. After losing the protection of He Ruochen and Ou Hanting, the only ones who replaced them were the two of them. However, when Gong Pingan wasn't around, the atmosphere surrounding the two of them became exceptionally strange.

Xiao Rou was startled, then she continued to draw quietly, but her tears could not help but fall down slowly, "Do I not hate you for believing me?"

Ruo Linglong didn't speak anymore, and only took out a napkin and handed it over to Xiao Rou. There were too many issues between her and Xiao Rou to be resolved, and with regards to Li Zheyu, he was the most crucial point between the two of them.

"Right now, my only hope in life is Yao Yao. If Yao Yao is safe, then I will be safe, but I also know that Li Zheyu will always love you alone, and I don't want to delude myself into anything. When he finally passed away, I wanted to see you one last time, I tried to contact you, but I couldn't find your whereabouts no matter what, and let him leave while holding onto regret. Although I was looking for your whereabouts, I hoped that you wouldn't appear in my heart, because your appearance might not even give Li Zheyu a chance to take a look at you …"
