Chapter 38: Old Fox

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The emperor was indeed a cunning old fox. His words were watertight. Poor Jun Yu thought that his father was really thinking about making his boss his study companion. He seemed to think his words were genuine.

He took a few steps forward and stood by Emperor Yong Ning’s bed. He leveled his gaze and said, “He treats me the best. He won’t go against me. He’s the most suitable person to be my study companion.”

Jun Yu’s sudden closeness was a result of trust.

Emperor Yong Ning understood what his son was feeling.

He stretched out his hand and rubbed Jun Yu’s head. “It’s not enough that you trust him. As your father, I should vet him first.”

He looked at Xiao Lizi after he finished speaking.

“Your Highness, His Majesty and the empress feel the same way. They’re both afraid you’ll be taken advantage of because you’re too quiet. That’s why we will vet him first. Hurry up and tell the emperor how to find this boss of yours!”

“I will immediately invite this person over. The emperor can meet him today since he’s in good spirits.”

“If it’s feasible, he can be your study companion from tomorrow onwards.”

This was very tempting.

A child like Jun Yu would not be able to withstand it. He almost told them where Jun Ning was staying so that Xiao Lizi could look for her.

However, he suddenly remembered that he needed to ask for his boss’s opinion before making a decision.

His boss had been busy growing vegetables recently. Jun Ning seemed to be very busy every day. He wondered if Jun Ning would even have the time to become his study companion. Would she be willing to be his study companion?

Troubled by these questions, Jun Yu said, “Father, I understand your intentions. However, I need to speak with my boss first and ask if he’s willing to become my study companion. If he is willing, I will bring him to meet you tomorrow. If not, I won’t force it. ”

He respected his boss’s decision.

His boss was free to choose.

“To be the prince’s study companion is an immense honor. How could he turn it down? Unless … He doesn’t know how to appreciate this kindness.”

Before Xiao Lizi could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Emperor Yong Ning. “That’s enough. Let Seventeen do the questioning.”

Emperor Yong Ning was thinking that the Golden Guards could take advantage of this. They could follow Jun Yu and track down the little b*stard.

He believed that they would be able to find this rascal.

Before this, he truly failed to find this kid.

This was because Jun Yu had gone to look for Jun Ning when he said he was going to the toilet, and no one had paid attention to his whereabouts.

He remembered that Jun Ning told him not to tell anyone that she was living in The Cold Palace, and if he wanted to find her, he must visit in secret.

Jun Yu had come to look for Jun Ning twice today, once in the morning and again right now. The sky was already dark.

After he crawled through the small hole, he made the cuckoo’s call a few times, and Jun Ning came out to pick him up.

Jun Ning was surprised to see Jun Yu at such a late hour. “Yu, why did you come over so suddenly? Are you hurt? Did your mother not feed you again? Are you hungry?”

Every time they met, these were the first words that Jun Ning would say.

Jun Yu did not have any problems hearing this before, but now, he felt that he had become a burden to his boss. His boss must think that he was only thinking of his stomach all the time.

He puffed up his cheeks and shook his head. “Boss, I’m not hungry. I’m not here to look for food. I have something important to ask you.”
