Liang Anya suddenly seemed like a student caught writing a love letter, her face changed: "Who’s thinking about him, I’m just asking..."

Beth fluttered her eyelashes and said nothing more.

***

At noon, after Xiaoxiao finished breastfeeding, just like usual, her eyelashes fluttered as she yawned a few small yawns and began her first important task of life - the afternoon nap.

Beth noticed that Liang Anya had nothing much to do every day after feeding Xiaoxiao, and feeling bored, suggested that Anya accompany her downstairs for a walk.

Liang Anya then realized that she hadn’t really left the room much after being here for several days. She decided to head downstairs with Beth.

The sky in Europe was blue with swirling white clouds, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Here, it lacked the bustling scenes, steel and concrete, and hazy skies of China’s major cities, resembling more of a paradise away from the hustle and bustle.

Coupled with the lush green lawn near the castle, it was like a dreamy kingdom.

After strolling for a while, Liang Anya regretted not coming out earlier; tomorrow she definitely wanted to bring Xiaoxiao out to breathe in some fresh air.

...

Not far away, Vivi was accompanied by two maids holding umbrellas and was staring at Liang Anya, who was walking on the lawn with Beth.

"What a bummer, going out for a walk and bumping into people you don’t want to see." One of the maids, who had served Vivi for years and knew that Miss Vivi was too refined to curse, couldn’t help but voice her sentiments.

The other maid said, "It’s getting late. Let’s head back."

Vivi shifted her gaze and saw one of Si Yuheng’s subordinates bringing King and Queen out.

The subordinate saw Miss Vivi and courteously greeted, "Miss Vivi."

Vivi glanced at the two robust wolfdogs raised by Si Yuheng and smiled subtly, "Walking the dogs?"

"Yes."

"King and Queen are becoming more majestic. No wonder they were personally raised by the Hall Master." Vivi walked over, extended her hand, and took the leash from the subordinate, bending down to stroke Queen’s head: "I’m just outside, let me walk them."

Of course, King and Queen knew Vivi, and seeing her familiar face, they didn’t resist and obediently lay on the ground.

The subordinate saw that Miss Vivi wanted to walk the dogs herself, said nothing, and stepped aside.

Miss Vivi rarely played with the two wolfdogs—today, how come she was interested? The two maids exchanged glances but didn’t say much.

Vivi held the leash, took two steps, then turned around and faced the figures on the lawn, secretly made an attacking gesture, and let the leash slip down.

King and Queen got the signal and charged toward Liang Anya on the lawn!

The subordinate realized what was happening and wanted to control the wolfdogs, but it was too late. He was in shock!

The two wolfdogs were wild and uncontrollable, and if they hurt someone, it would be disastrous!

A glimmer of smugness flickered on Vivi’s lips, but she shouted in alarm, "Oh no, stop them—"

On the lawn, Liang Anya heard two mighty dog barks, then felt a whirlwind come her way, her body broke out in a cold sweat!

Just as the dogs were about to pounce on her, one of the big wolfdogs suddenly stopped upon seeing her, ceased barking, lowered its head, and wagged its tail!

The other wolfdog tried to continue approaching Liang Anya, but the first wolfdog snarled fiercely at its companion, causing the second one to also obediently halt its attack.

Liang Anya widened her eyes and recognized the large wolfdog before her, tentatively asking: "King?"

King heard the person in front of him calling his name and affectionately jumped up, started rubbing against her leg, wagging his tail even more joyfully, and making pleased whimpering sounds. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Miss Liang... you, you know King and Queen?" Beth recovered from the fright; she was almost scared to death earlier, thinking that even if Miss Liang wasn’t attacked by the dogs, she would be scared half to death.

"Yes, I know them." Liang Anya sighed with mixed feelings. The first time Si Yuheng abducted her to the villa, he tossed her into the basement with King for several days to frighten her when she tried to escape!

Needless to say, she had quite a profound connection with King!

Unexpectedly, the wolfdog was indeed quite empathetic and remembered her!

She squatted down, rubbing King’s head: "So you still remember me."

King and Queen became even more affectionate toward her and began nuzzling around her.

Not far away, the subordinate sighed in relief.

Vivi’s face changed; these two wolfdogs actually recognized her and were so affectionate!

"Whew, lucky that Miss Liang is familiar with King, otherwise she almost got hurt... these two dogs get fierce, aside from the Hall Master, they don’t recognize anyone else!" Beth patted her chest, feeling relieved.

Liang Anya’s eyes flashed, finally looking up to see Vivi ahead, and roughly guessed the situation.

Vivi had already regained her composure and walked over with the maids, "I’m glad Miss Liang is fine. It’s my fault for not holding the leash firmly, which let the dogs loose and almost scared Miss Liang... hand the dogs over to me."

Liang Anya rubbed King’s head which was playfully bumping as she said, without handing over the leash, "Miss Vivi is fragile and delicate, better not walk the dogs, lest they cause trouble again."

"What do you mean by that? Miss Vivi merely accidentally lost grip of the leash, hand the dogs to her." a maid reprimanded loudly.

"Alright, then we’ll see whether King and Queen want to go with you." Liang Anya smiled playfully and gently stroked King’s face: "King, Miss Vivi is calling you, go back."

King stayed in Liang Anya’s lap sniffing and licking, making affectionate whimpering sounds, without going back.

Queen, being King’s wife, seeing her husband not going back, of course obediently stayed next to him, not moving an inch.

Vivi’s face was somewhat unsightly as she bent down herself and reached out with both hands, "King, Queen, come here!"

She was confident that upon hearing her command, King and Queen would surely return.

After all, what did it matter if King knew Liang Anya? These two wolfdogs had spent more time with her than with Liang Anya, surely they were more familiar with her.

But unbelievably, King and Queen did not pay attention to Vivi and still nuzzled around Liang Anya, although they were two top-class wolfdogs, yet in front of Liang Anya, they acted like two clingy kittens.

"King!" Vivi was utterly vexed, seeing the wolfdogs completely ignoring her, almost losing her ladylike demeanor, raised her voice!

Liang Anya just quietly smiled, lovingly petting the two dogs, without saying a word, and the dogs also focused on licking her hand, as if they didn’t hear Vivi’s call.

Vivi’s throats almost smoked from yelling, eventually, her face turned extremely sour, conceding defeat.

Until the subordinate arrived and genuinely praised, "Miss Liang is truly impressive; King and Queen usually only behave so affectionately toward the Hall Master."

Liang Anya graciously accepted the praise, considered that Xiaoxiao would soon wake from her nap, having teased Vivi enough, stood up, petted King and Queen’s heads: "Good boy, good girl~ All right, amuse yourselves! I’m heading back~ Will come play with you later."
