Chapter 48 - 48. Song Tao (1/2)

Third person POV

After Song Tao got his injury at that time, he retired from the elite force and worked as Xu Tingfeng's advisor and head butler. When he saw Xu Tingfeng brought home a little girl, he was suspicious and excited. He was an orphan that Xu Weimin picked up from the slums, he was treated as family by Xu family despite his status. And since then he had sworn loyalty towards Xu family, he would sacrifice his life to Xu family.

Since he was in the elite force, he never marry anyone. So he had treated the Xu brothers as his own sons and Hong er as his own granddaughter. He had doted on Hong er since the first time she arrived here.

He extended his hand to help Hong er get down from the carriage, but Hong er didn't touch his hand at all. He was devastated, ' Does she forget about me after she went to the capital?' When he was about to take a step back, a cheerful voice rang out.

Hong er: ” Song zongguan!” ( zongguan= steward/butler)

Hong er jumped and hugged Song Tao, Song Tao managed to caught her thanks to his training in the past. Hong er took off her mask and smiled brightly at Song Tao.

Hong er: ” Waahh~ I miss you so much! Did you missed me?”

The smile made Song Tao cooed and threw away all of his previous thoughts. He lightly knocked on Hong er head.

Song Tao: ” Of course I miss my little naughty Young Miss. It is dangerous to jump like that, please remind me before you jump. What if I didn't manage to catch Young Miss? What if Young Miss get hurt? ”

Hong er: ” I trust Song Zongguan, Song Zongguan is always there for me so I'm not worried.”

Song Tao: ” But Young Miss-”

Bai Huiqing: ” It is fine Song Zongguan,. Hong er had been talking about how she miss you in the carriage. Now let her hug you for a little bit.”

Bai Huiqing was helped by Gui An to get down from the carriage. Gui An was promoted to Bai Huqing's personal maid after her sacrifice in that incident. Bai Huiqing took off her mask and passed it to Gui An. Song Tao nodded his head toward Bai Huiqing and smiled.

Song Tao: ” How was the trip, Young madam?”

Xu Tingfeng: ” Song Zongguan! How can you not ask anything about me? You are still my butler right?”

Xu Tingfeng dismounted from his horse and stomped towards Song Tao. He childishly complained to Song Tao.

Song Tao: ” Young Master, you are just gonna complain about that…”

Song Tao put Hong er down and closed her ears with his big hand.
