"Xiao Hei, they are guests," An Yiqing gently stroked Xiao Hei’s head soothingly.
"Girl, when did you start raising a dog?" Duan Tang raised an eyebrow, teasing her leisurely.
"Xiao Hei is my lifesaver. If it weren’t for him, I might have ended up a corpse in the wilderness this time."
Upon hearing this, Duan Tang’s expression turned slightly grim. He took the hot tea personally brewed by the girl, his eyes filled with concern, "How’s your injury?"
"It’s nothing serious. After lying in bed for more than half a month, even the most severe injuries would have healed," An Yiqing shook her head gently, saying jokingly.
"That’s good. If you need anything from Muyun Society, just say the word. We are friends," Duan Tang expressed his sincere intentions.
An Yiqing was startled by his words and showed warmth on her face, nodding softly, "When I need it, I won’t be polite with you."
Having not seen the girl in a long time, Duan Tang naturally wouldn’t leave after just a short while. The two sat on the sofa, chatting joyfully. But this made it tough for Ruan Hao behind Duan Tang and Xiao Hei beside An Yiqing. A man and a dog stared at each other, seemingly feeling a sense of camaraderie.
Family Head, Miss An has been whisked away by Third Young Master Gu, aren’t you in a hurry? That’s what was on Ruan Hao’s mind.
Woof! Another bad person to compete with for the owner! Not happy! That’s what Xiao Hei’s thoughts would sound like.
An Yiqing and Duan Tang were chatting happily when suddenly, the doorbell rang again.
The girl was somewhat puzzled, who could it be? Why did they all choose to come today...
An Yiqing looked apologetically at Duan Tang and slowly got up to answer the door.
As the door opened, the first thing that caught her eye was the strikingly gorgeous and seductive red.
"Little girl, long time no see."
Outside, Bai Yiming was still dressed in captivating red, his affectionate eyes flourishing with charm. Each smile and frown was full of allure. His gaze lingered greedily on the slender girl before him. Thank goodness, she was unharmed.
"Young Master Bai?" Seeing the person outside, An Yiqing was somewhat surprised, "What’s this about?"
"Heard you were injured, so I came to check on you," Bai Yiming raised an eyebrow, his gaze affectionate, "Little girl, do you plan to leave me standing outside the whole time?"
An Yiqing shivered from his gaze, feeling indeed that November was rather cold. She rolled her eyes openly and stepped aside to let Bai Yiming in.
"Head Duan?" Bai Yiming, stepping into the living room and seeing Duan Tang on the sofa, his dark eyes flickered, teasing, "What a coincidence. What brings you here?"
"Xiao Qing was injured, as a friend, of course, I had to come visit," Duan Tang said warmly, with an even brighter smile on his face.
"Hehe, seems like Head Duan and I had the same idea," Bai Yiming chuckled meaningfully, making himself comfortable on the sofa and nearly stepping on Xiao Hei on the floor.
Master, that man nearly stepped on me! (＞_＜)
"Xiao Hei, be good," An Yiqing stretched out her hand and fondly rubbed Xiao Hei’s little head.
"Little girl, who is this?" Bai Yiming looked at the round-eyed dog, somewhat surprised.
"This is Xiao Hei, he saved my life. We had a connection, so I brought him back," An Yiqing explained, and then rolled her eyes again, "Young Master Bai, could you please watch your step next time? My Xiao Hei nearly got stepped on by you."
"Alright, alright! My bad, my bad! My apologies, Lord Dog," Bai Yiming said half laughingly, half apologetically. He was actually apologizing to a dog.
