Chapter 8 - Be A Dignified Person (2/2)

The sniffing and low barking process lasted for at least three minutes. After that, it lowered its head to rub Ye Jian’s small feet and laid down on the ground obediently. It had recognized her as its master.

Sweating from fear, the middle-aged man pulled a long face after hearing Ye Jian’s words. “Your aunt is always making a fuss! She almost scared the h.e.l.l out of me.”
