"Which dress should I wear...?"
Ma Xiaotao pondered for a moment, then picked up her favorite red dress, a bright smile on her face.
There was still some time before she was due to meet Chu Ge. In the meantime, she might as well go see her strategist!
At that thought, Ma Xiaotao immediately stood up. She already knew exactly whom to turn to-Xi Xi.
As she thought about it, she vanished from the spot at top speed, racing toward Xi Xi's residence.
