"Go get some snacks for Long'er, something soft and easy to chew," Zhou Ning'an instructed.
"And not too sweet," Huo Xiaolong added.
"Okay, Miss Huo."
Zhou Ning'an's servant was very shrewd. Regardless of whether Huo Xiaolong followed Zhihua into the Zhou family in the future, she would still be a young lady, either from their household or from a brothel. So what if he called her that? It wouldn't hurt to call her that.
