277 RETURNED! edited (2/2)

Senja tilted her head and smiled back at her, ”Thank you.”

”How about we go back inside? Mother has cooked your favorite food Senja.” Carye spoke as she attempted to redeem herself.

Soon, Elder Dam walked in first while she followed. Xiao Tianyao was about to follow as well when Rindy decided to speak.

”It's been a while Prince Xiao Tianyao.” She said coyly, as though announcing her presence to him.

”It's been a while.” Xiao Tianyao murmured while nodding slightly and continued to walk inside, leaving Senja and Rindy alone.

”So, you have finally returned, huh?” Rindy, with folded arms, arrogantly mocked Senja.

Senja had intentionally fallen behind, as she'd sensed Rindy's urge to provoke her. Of course, she was more than willing to give her a chance.

”Yes, I have returned.” Senja was all smiles.

”You better stay away like before and become an obedient girl if you don't want to trouble yourself.”

”Alright.” Senja said lightly.

”And, your purple hair is disgusting.” Rindy taunted and expected Senja to be utterly downcast even to lift her chin. However, it would never happen with ”this” Senja.

”Oh, I feel the same about you because I don't like your ugly nose as well.” She chuckled before continuing, ”Anything else? If you don't have anything else to say I have to go inside, because mother cooked for me, my favorite foods.” And she waltzed away.

Surprisingly, Xiao Tianyao was waiting for her by the doorstep. He didn't say anything when Senja came closer, just shot a questioning look to which Senja replied with a wink.

As he went in, he wore a soft smile.
