"Let me talk to my father."

It was the little Qing Qing who was sitting on the wheelchair. However, she was now emitting the air of a well raised young girl. Inside the room, she was just like any other kid and lovely, but now she was totally different. Qing Qing's back was straight and her delicate arms reached out to get the phone from the head bodyguard.

Mi Rong understood Qing Qing's intentions. To the outside world, they could not show their weak side and must be strong and indifferent, otherwise the world will turn on them. It was their s.h.i.+eld. However, Mi Rong had learned that this was not the only way to deal with the outside world, there are many ways, being cold on the outside isn't the ideal way as it would only leave you lonely and on your own until the end. Mi Rong thought to herself that one day she would teach Little Qing Qing how big girls handle things. As this made her think of someone acting the same.

Qing Qing spoke some words to the phone and handled it over to the head bodyguard to hear what Jun Kai had to say. Once the phone call ended, the head bodyguard's face paled. He then quickly signaled the rest to make way. Wow, Mi Rong was impressed. She wondered what little Qing Qing had said to her father to give in.

Mi Rong attentively pushed Qing Qing towards the outdoor playground which was on the same floor. However, as Mi Rong walked along the corridor, at the same time, the bodyguards that had been guarding their room followed closely behind. She frowned. It was like going back when she was a princess, she always hated having a line of followers monitoring her every step.

"Sigh."

With a hushed voice "Jie, this is all I could ask from my papa."

"Ah? Oh, Xiao Qing I'm not blaming you."

With a pouted face Qing Qing spoke, "Ey, Rong jie, don't call me xiao, it's like you're calling a puppy." After finis.h.i.+ng her sentence, her face seemed to become even more pouted as the little girl must have been imagining herself becoming a obedient puppy listen to it's owner.

With that made Mi Rong giggled with how contradictory Qing Qing's personality could become. Mi Rong curiously asked "Qing Qing ah, what did you tell your dad over the phone?"

"Well...I just said I'll pull my cast off and cry non stop if he didn't let me go. I also told him that it was good for my mental health! It'll help me freshen myself."

"That's it?" Mi Rong didn't think that it would be that easy. It seems Qing Qing was Jun Kai's only weak spot and probably his wife as well.

"Yes, now jie, could you go any faster? I want to get there now ah."

"Hang on, Xiao Qing we're nearly there."

"Jie!"

"Haha"

Along the way, the pair of them teased each other, and both let out laughs, not caring the surrounding. It was a happy picture. Once they were outside, Mi Rong started looking for Xiao Bai, it had been an hour and he should be around. She swept her eyes and right under a big tall tree there was a shadow of a large dog sitting idly.

Mi Rong let out a smile and whispered into Qing Qing's ears, "Xiao Qing, I'll take you to meet someone, okay?"

"Alright, but who is this person?" Since walking Qing Qin was now used to being called Xiao from Mi Rong as Rong jie was seriously stubborn with the name.

"You'll find out."

When Mi Rong was in Xiao Bai's line of sight he stood up to his full height. Eventually the master and dog were reunited. Mi Rong then took her time to introduce them to each other, "Xiao Qing, this is Xiao Bai, isn't he cute?"

Qing Qing's eyes twitched whereas Xiao Bai's mouth twitched. Qing Qing was called just like a dog! As for Xiao Bai, calling it 'cute' when it was now a mighty wolf was not accepted!

"Jie!" "Woof" Both human and dog exclaimed out at the same time. Also, at that very moment, Mi Rong who had been trying to keep her laughter, burst out laughing. When Qing Qing and Xiao Bai saw Mi Rong laugh, it was angelic, Mi Rong seemed like the purest being they had ever seen. Both of them were staring at Mi Rong and had forgotten that they were angry.

Feeling the gazes on her, Mi Rong stopped laughing and puzzledly looked at them. Both of them turned their gazes away. Qing Qing happened to look at Xiao Bai and finally noticed that it wasn't like any normal dog.

"Jie, his eyes..."

"You can see them?" This was unexpected to both Mi Rong and Xiao Bai, since Xiao Bai had used illusion to cover himself and normal people would only see him as an ordinary dog with black eyes. Qing Qing was the first. Xiao Bai's eyes were crystallic blue non like any other dogs.

"Yes."

"Shh, don't tell anyone, okay?" Mi Rong never knew why she trusted Qing Qing and kept spilling her tea to Qing Qing; however, she never regretted telling the little girl. The more Mi Rong spent time with Qing Qing, the more she became to like her. It was the same for Qing Qing.

"Okay! You have my words." Qing Qing looked at Mi Rong with determination. Seeing Qing Qing saying the words with such enthusiasm made Mi Rong happy.

"Jie, then can I play with him?"

"Of course!" Mi Rong then pushed Qing Qing closer to Xiao Bai. Xiao Bai showed his reluctance but Mi Rong eyed him and said through telepathy "Xiao Bai, be good and let the girl play with you."

"But."

"No roasted ducks."

"No! I'll let her play." Xiao Bai didn't usually let anyone play with it as it felt it wasn't suited for cuddles anymore, his only exception was Mi Rong who would strangle(?not cuddle?) him all the time.

However, once Qing Qing's small hands touched him, he suddenly felt a rus.h.i.+ng gust of ecstaticism. It was indeed a good feeling to be touched with such care.

Once Mi Rong saw what was going on, she was happy. She knew that because of Xiao Bai's pride he became more distant to others and hadn't felt the warmth from other humans for the past year. Although, she would from time to time cuddle him(?not all the time?), but throughout the whole year they had been busy recruiting people and finding the spell book. Also, from the past few days, it had been journeying around the whole country and searching alone, she felt she had to reward it. As for Qing Qing, the girl was the most adorable person and must have been bored. From their personalities, she knew they would get along.

Time past and Mi Rong thought it was the right time to get into business. She telepathed to Xiao Bai, "Xiao Bai, now let's get down to business."
