Before Huangfu Xuanye could reply, Ying Bao had already picked up the fruit knife and started to peel the apple.

Huangfu Xuanye could not help but worry when he saw the little girl cutting the apple with her knife. He was afraid that she would cut his hand.

It was Huangfu Xuanye’s first time seeing Ying Bao peel an apple. The hand that she was holding the knife with was trembling a little. Instead of calling it peeling an apple, it would be more accurate to say that she had a grudge against an apple. With one slice, a huge pit was formed.

“If you don’t know how to do it, let me do it!” Huangfu Xuanye could not stand it anymore.

“It’s okay, I can do it! I have to practice more! My parents never let me touch knives but I have to grow up and do things by myself. I can’t always rely on them for everything.”

Ying Bao said as she peeled the apple.

She was probably traumatized by the experience of being kidnapped when she was young. She could not help but tremble whenever she touched a knife hand all these years.

She knew that it was a psychological problem. She had always wanted to overcome it.

“You’re a princess. You don’t have to do it yourself. Someone will help you.”

Huangfu Xuanye felt that she could be a happy princess for the rest of her life. It didn’t matter if she didn’t know how to cook or perform chores. There would be servants who could do them well.

“I know I’ma princess, but I don’t want to be a useless princess!”

Ying Bao smiled at Huangfu Xuanyuan.

Huangfu Xuanye understood what she was thinking and did not say anything else.

Huangfu Xuanye could not help but laugh as he looked at the round and fat apple. It seemed to have gone through a “weight loss regime’ after Ying Bao’s ravaging. It had become slim and trim.

“Tm almost done! Look at how fast and well I peeled it.. Ah..”

Indeed, one should never be conceited too soon. Ying Bao was about to finish peeling the apple and decided to show off. In the end, she cut her index finger and cried out in pain.

“What’s wrong? Did you cut yourself? Let me see!”

Huangfu Xuanye took the fruit knife and apple from her hand and pulled her hand over to check her wound.

‘There was a bloody wound on her index finger and blood was flowing out. Ying Bao frowned in pain and subconsciously wanted to wrap it with a napkin.

“Don’t move! Let me do it!”

Huangfu Xuanye did not let Ying Bao do it. Instead, he leaned over and directly sucked on her bloody finger.

Ying Bao widened her eyes in shock at his sudden action. Her sore fingers were quickly enveloped by a moist and warm touch.

“Uncle..”

Ying Bao was actually a little embarrassed. She wanted to pull her hand back, but Huangfu Xuanye did not let her go.

After a few minutes, he took out her finger. When he looked at the wound again, it was no longer bleeding. The thin wound had already closed up.

“Alright, the bleeding has stopped,” Huangfu Xuanye said seriously, not thinking about anything else. Ying Bao, on the other hand, was blushing because of the contact.

Huangfu Xuanye was focused on her finger and did not notice the change in her expression. At this moment, a nurse came in and he asked the nurse to bring him a band-aid and an alcohol cotton ball.

The nurse brought it over to him, and he carefully wiped Ying Bao’s wound with an alcohol swab before putting a band-aid on it.

He raised his head and noticed that her face was as red as a cooked shrimp. “Cherry, what’s wrong?”

“Tm fine now.” Ying Bao finally pulled her hand back and shook her head.

Huangfu Xuanye did not notice the change in her mentality. He only told her, “Don’t try to act tough next time. Your parents refuse to let you touch the knife because they’re worried that you would hurt yourself. Now the facts have proven that you really can’t touch a knife casually.”
