I'll Never Abandon You

Li Meirong's eyes were full of emotion as she affectionately stroked Snowball's fur. "In the end, Snowball is the only one for me." She murmured to the little fox spirit, picking him up and burying her face deep into his dense, soft fur. It tickled her nose but also comforted her heart as well.

"Master finally understands." Snowball huffed loudly, his tail still twitching.

Xiao An Fei, meanwhile, rolled her eyes towards the ceiling. 'Would that Her Ladyship know who she is coddling on her lap…'

"What happened to the candles?" Li Meirong suddenly asked, looking left and right. It was dark, but she could still perceive Xiao An Fei's alarmed expression.

"Oh… ah! It must have been a strong gust of wind. I will light them again in a moment, My Lady," Xiao An Fei said, backing as far away from the fox spirit as she possibly could.
