After remaining silent for a long while, Wang Dongliu let out a quiet sigh. Her eyes held a trace of regret.
Ever since she had returned to the Ouyang Family with Xiao Ge, and become one of Zhuo Zhuo's closest companions, Wang Dongliu had watched over Zhuo Zhuo every step of the way. She had watched her grow from a girl who had just arrived at the bottom of the abyss into someone formidable.
