Song Chuxia turned her attention back to the situation at hand.
She deeply regretted going to see Master Xiao today.
Shan Gao had never been this well-behaved in front of Song Qianqian before.
She hadn't heard Song Qianqian scream at all today.
All she'd heard was herself yelling.
Song Chuxia hesitated over whether she should ask Shan Gao to make a sound.
