Not because Hao was her boss.
Not because she felt obligated to accept it.
Something inside her just… didn't mind. It was oddly comfortable.
'Hmph. This isn't bad at all… I guess.'
She let out a small sigh, acting as if she were merely tolerating it.
"Boss, are you treating me like a kid?"
Hao smirked. "Aren't you one?"
Mo Xixi clicked her tongue and crossed her arms.
"I'm already thirteen."
"Exactly." Hao ruffled her hair a little more before stepping back.
"Still a kid."
Mo Xixi huffed, fixing her hair with a pout. But if one looked closely, her ears had turned just a bit red.
Lin Yijun's group was busy eating, paying no attention to their surroundings. Except for Yue Xueyan.
Her eyes landed on Mo Xixi, who stood beside Hao, wearing the same uniform as him.
'A new attendant?'
The thought surfaced but did not linger. Yet, for some reason, that girl's face felt familiar. Yue Xueyan frowned slightly. She had seen her somewhere before, but her memory was unclear.
