Guarded by Two

Whispers spread like fire when a young woman stepped out of the enormous Li carriage accompanied by the Capital's infamous twins.

"Goodness gracious, who is that?"

"Did any nobleman have a daughter with that face?"

Mothers discreetly chattered amongst themselves behind their spread fans. Their eyes never left the large carriage fit for ten people.

Meanwhile, the daughters murmured amongst themselves with curiosity and a hint of menace. They weren't sure if the young woman was a useful pawn or a knight that would prevent them from approaching the twins.

"Let me help you down, Xiao Yue." Li Wenmin offered while resisting the urge to smile when he saw her eyeing the small steps placed in front of the carriage.

"There are stairs for a reason," Li Chenyang pointed out, but nonetheless, offered her a hand. His brother rolled his eyes and a smug smirk surfaced when Xueyue politely declined his hand and walked down the carriage herself.
