Yuran wasn’t interested in these things, but Qi Nian and Bai Leyao forcefully dragged her forward, indicating to the butler that they were very interested in the pets in the forest.
Yuran caught a glimpse of astonishnt on the butler’s face and suddenly felt a bit uneasy.
However, that unease was quickly diverted because the two of them were dragging her, and Bai Leyao had fed Yuran’s princess fantasies until she was totally plump; in her eyes, pets were just fluffy and very cute creatures.
But when they actually saw the pets in the forest, all they could do was scream and scream.
"Ahhh ahhh ahhhh ahhh..."
Qi Nian: "...Ahhh ahhh ahhhh ahhh..."
The two imdiately let go of Yuran, squatted down, covered their heads, and scread. What made it even more laughable was that while they scread, they cried at the sa ti.
The butler looked at Yuran helplessly, filled with apology in his eyes, "I apologize, madam. I should have inford you in advance."
He thought they knew.
Although Yuran remained calm on the surface, it was all an act; now she felt weak at the knees and darkness before her eyes, but she had asked to see the pets herself, so she couldn’t bla it on the butler, right?
So, she had to muster her strength and shake her head, "It’s not your fault."
Who knew the pets here would be so huge?
A male lion, a black panther, and several Tibetan mastiffs.
The butler explained, "One of the Tibetan mastiffs belongs to the seventh young master. The other pets are temporarily in the care of the eldest young masters. They will be claid in a while."
Yuran couldn’t bother to listen anymore, she just chanically nodded her head, repeatedly nodding, "Butler, let’s, let’s go out first. We won’t look at the pets, my legs are weak."
"Yes."
It was a long ti after returning to the reception hall that Yuran felt her strength returning. Qi Nian and Bai Leyao were curled up together, looking both pitiful and ridiculous.
"Don’t you dare laugh." Qi Nian, with tears still in the corners of her eyes, spoke up to Yuran in a rush, without much force.
Yuran couldn’t help it and started laughing at the sight of her pitiful look, "But it was you who clamored to see the pets just now. You and Yaoyao, trying to pass the buck to ? I haven’t even blad you yet, and you have the nerve to play the victim first?"
Qi Nian hid her face, "Just forget about the way I look right now, forget it quickly."
Everyone: "..." Who taught you this move?
Bai Leyao was pale, and it took her a long while to shakily speak to Yuran, "I’ve only ever seen lions in the zoo in my whole life, I swear, I thought I was going to be eaten just now."
Yuran: "...Your imagination isn’t small, is it?"
Annan was sitting aside expressionlessly, and Yuran felt that among them, Annan was the most impressive.
From the beginning until now, she had hardly any expression, and Yuran didn’t know whether she was scared or not, or just very calm as if it were no big deal.
Yuran admired her, "Annan, weren’t you scared just now?"
After all, when they first walked in, several ferocious pets pounced towards them, and it really felt like the next mont they would beco food.
It took Annan a while before she spoke, still shaken, "I haven’t recovered from the shock yet."
Yuran: "..."
The kitchen had prepared afternoon tea and desserts. The butler waited apologetically for everyone to completely recover before taking them to the small garden outside the lawn, where there was a Sunshine Greenhouse. Sitting there for afternoon tea was quite fitting.
Constant temperature, beautiful scenery, looking out from the Sunshine Greenhouse, one could see a large vineyard to the west, and another lush green golf course.
Bai Leyao and Qi Nian were leaning against the window, clicking their tongues and saying sarcastically, "I’ve only seen castles like this in TV dramas."
Qi Nian, "I’ve only seen them in fairy tales, the textual version, with printed illustrations."
What the heck?
Qi Nian’s thought process was simply not like ordinary people’s; she always managed to say sothing astonishing. When she and Bai Leyao got together, the two of them were bona fide goofy duo, okay?
How quirky.
Bai Leyao seriously took up the conversation, "Grimm’s Fairy Tales?"
Qi Nian thought for a mont, uncertain, "Hans Christian Andersen... fairy tales, I guess!"
Bai Leyao frowned, as if she couldn’t retrieve the content of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales from her brain, and doubted Qi Nian, "Then you must have seen it wrong. If ’The Emperor’s New Clothes’ has a printed castle, then it’s Grimm’s Fairy Tales."
Qi Nian looked down on the idea, "That’s not it at all, Cinderella is clearly from Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales. Does the Emperor necessarily live in a castle? It’s the princess who lives in a castle, all right?"
Bai Leyao shook her head, "You’re wrong, is it only the princess who lives in the castle?"
Qi Nian was extraordinarily adamant, "Of course, isn’t it about the castle being sealed and then the prince cos to rescue them?"
Watching the endlessly debating pair, Yuran was a bit stunned; no, she was curious, how did their topic shift from the current castle to a printed castle and then to the fairy tale world?
And also, did Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales really contain the story they were discussing?
The Brothers Grimm of Grimm’s Fairy Tales must be rolling in their graves, right?
If she hadn’t read those two books of fairy tales, she might have been successfully led astray by them.
Annan was watching the two argue silently for a while, then lifted her eyes to et Yuran’s resigned expression and chuckled in understanding, "These two, they might have had a feud in their past lives."
Yuran smiled amusingly, curling her lips, "To grow up so childishly robust and spirited, their families must have really doted on them."
Annan: "..." What kind of description is that?
But she couldn’t refute it.
The two argued for ages beside the glass wall’s sofa without reaching a verdict and then stood up together and ca over to Yuran, indignantly asking, "Ranran, who’s right between her and ?"
Yuran really didn’t want to crush the two of them, but when it ca to the dissemination of knowledge, if she let them go on with their nonsense, their future children might end up as twisted as they were.
Yuran helplessly held her forehead, "Sisters, let tell you the right answer! Housekeeper, do we have Grimm’s Fairy Tales and Hans Christian Andersen’s Fairy Tales in the library at ho?"
The housekeeper, holding afternoon tea in his hands, bowed politely and answered the question, "Yes, madam."
Yuran nodded, "Would you kindly find them and bring them here for the two of them? We have so free ti this afternoon; it would be good for us to accompany them in reading."
"Yes, madam."
After a short while, the housekeeper actually had the servants bring over two fairy tale books. Taking them, she placed one in front of each of them, seeing their faces quickly turn crimson with embarrassnt.
Bai Leyao spoke softly, "Ranran, couldn’t you have just told us the answer directly? This is so embarrassing."
Qi Nian also felt embarrassed, "Exactly."
But they were indeed wrong, and as well-trained housekeepers and servants, they did not lose their composure or look down upon them for their childish antics. Throughout the entire exchange, they remained expressionless and respectful.
