Cao Ying returned an hour later.
The Medical Clinic had already closed for the day. Shuang Ye and Song Lianhe stood at the entrance, eating sunflower seeds as they gazed outside.
'Cao Ying has such a hot temper. What if she got into a fight with Song Xilan?'
'But with Xuan Mei there, she probably wouldn't be at a disadvantage…'
"Miss! The carriage!"
Shuang Ye pointed at the Cao Mansion carriage up ahead. It was the one Cao Ying used exclusively for her trips to the Medical Clinic.
"I'll go get dinner ready!"
Seeing that she was back, Shuang Ye hurried off to the back kitchen.
Song Lianhe went to greet her. Cao Ying stepped down from the carriage, looking rather downcast, as if she'd been wronged…
Song Lianhe tossed aside the sunflower seeds in her hand, dusted off her palms, and asked, "Did Song Xilan bully you?"
"No."
Cao Ying approached with her eyes downcast, a hesitant look on her face. "Lianhe, tell me, why was I so obsessed with him back then?"
