"Because you are a Prince while I am a servant who has the duty to serve the Prince In the presence of a servant, a Prince cannot work," Chuntao answered Nianzu chuckled upon hearing her

"This is what everyone thinks but in reality-" Nianzu stopped and so did Chuntao He took a step closer to her, which intimidated Chuntao She stepped back on her foot and lost her balance, but Nianzu caught her by wrapping his arm around her waist They both looked into each other's eyes Chuntao's grip on the lantern tightened, and she gulped "A servant's duty is indeed to serve the Prince but the Prince can do the petty work himself He also has a duty towards his servant, that is not to exploit him/her" Nianzu had taken the lantern froht
