The Proud Little Princess

"Hey, you jerk!"

At dawn, the pink-and-blue-haired "youth" shoved open the doors of the clinic.

She carried specialties brought back from Clear Sky Fortress in her hand.

Wang Dong looked around as she haughtily said,

"This young master came back from the sect and accidentally brought a little too much stuff. Consider yourself lucky."

Yet there was no response.

Wang Dong frowned.

She called Bai Luo's name again.

A rustling sound came from the back.

It was followed by a pattering set of footsteps.

Wang Dong thought Bai Luo had come over, and a flash of delight appeared in her eyes, only to be quickly suppressed.

A figure emerged from the back.

Upon seeing who it was, the light in Wang Dong's eyes dimmed slightly, and an almost imperceptible trace of disappointment passed through them.

Still, she forced out a smile and took the initiative to greet her.

"Aunt Huo, why is it you?"

The person who had come was Huo Yun'er.

She was still wearing an apron, clearly having just been busy in the kitchen.

Whenever Wang Dong had free time during the first half of the year, she would run over to Bai Luo's clinic.

Naturally, she had gotten to know Huo Yun'er, the cook who stayed at the clinic long-term.

She had also learned that Huo Yun'er was Huo Yuhao's mother.

Because of that, Wang Dong had felt awkward for quite some time and barely dared to meet Huo Yun'er's eyes.

It was only after Huo Yun'er learned from Bai Luo about what had happened back then and took the initiative to clear things up, gently saying that she did not mind.

It was perfectly normal for young people to have some conflicts and disagreements.

Only then did Wang Dong gradually stop feeling awkward around Huo Yun'er.
