564 Girl, Are You Alright?

At the same time, Gu Zixiao went through the Grand Preceptor Manor, looking for Gu Nuo’er.

There was also a hint of panic on his usually calm face.

He had clearly told the child to wait for him in the hall,

Why was she gone when he came back?

Gu Zixiao grabbed a servant who was passing by and asked solemnly, “Have you seen the princess?”

The servant thought for a moment. “This servant passed by the front courtyard just now and seemed to have seen Her Highness, Marquis Yongye, and Master talking over there.”

Gu Zixiao pursed his lips. “Thank you for telling me.”

Then, he strode towards the other courtyard.

At this moment, Gu Zixiao still had no idea that Gu Nuo’er was no longer there.

When it was almost time for the banquet to start, the guests had already gone to the dining hall one after another.

The other courtyard was empty at this moment. There wasn’t even a maidservant.

Gu Zixiao walked into the courtyard and called out softly, “Nuo’er? Where are you?”

No one responded to him.

The luster of the sunlight quietly flowed in the courtyard.

Dust rolled in the air. Gu Zixiao passed through the courtyard and arrived at the only small room there.

He saw that the door was ajar and it opened when he just touched it.

“Nuo’er? Are you inside?”

There was still no response.

However, the moment Gu Zixiao swept his gaze over and observed, he saw a faint corner of a red robe under the cloth that hung from the table that was in the middle of the room to the ground.

The color was very similar to his sister’s.

Gu Zixiao was caught between laughter and tears. “Nuo’er, you still want to play hide-and-seek with Brother?”

Seeing that the “child” didn’t move, Gu Zixiao could only walk forward.

He reached in and grabbed one of the “child’s” arms.

“Come out. The banquet is about to start. We can’t be late.”

However, the moment he grabbed the other party’s wrist, he suddenly frowned in confusion.

When did his sister’s arm become thicker?

Gu Zixiao lifted the long cloth and saw a girl around 15 or 16 years old in a red dress hiding inside and sleeping!

Perhaps his actions had disturbed her. The girl’s eyelashes fluttered and she suddenly opened her eyes.

Their eyes met. The moment the girl opened her eyes, she saw an unfamiliar youth frowning at her in surprise.

Moreover, he was actually holding her wrist tightly!

“Ah—!” The girl let out a short scream and shook off Gu Zixiao’s hand. “Where did this l*cher come from? What do you want to do while I’m sleeping? P*rvert!”

Gu Zixiao was stunned. He frowned and explained, “You’ve misunderstood. I got the wrong person…”

Before he could finish speaking, the girl hiding under the table knocked her head on the table at the top because of the intense struggle.

“Ouch.” She covered her head and grimaced in pain.

Ever since Gu Zixiao returned to the capital, he rarely saw such a lady who had almost no etiquette.

He was stunned for a moment. “Miss, are you alright?”

Unexpectedly, the girl crawled out on all fours.

She covered her head and glared at Gu Zixiao. “You’re not allowed to tell anyone about what happened today. Otherwise, I’ll…”

After thinking for a long time, she couldn’t think of any threatening words. She only stomped her feet and turned to run.

Gu Zixiao stood up at a loss.

The other party probably didn’t recognize him.

He had gotten the wrong person and caused a misunderstanding, but he hadn’t found his sister yet.

Gu Zixiao felt rather vexed.

However, just as he walked out of the side courtyard, he saw Ye Siming carrying Gu Nuo’er and walking over leisurely.

Gu Zixiao was stunned. “Nuo’er!”

Gu Nuo’er was making a joke when she looked up with her watery grape-like eyes.

She immediately smiled sweetly. “Eldest Brother! I’m here!”
