Zhou Yunyun was startled and hurriedly apologized, her face flushing red. Hua Xiaomai knew she took everything seriously, so she comforted her, then pulled out some coins and asked her to buy two packets of Beechnut cakes to bring back for Chun Xi and La Mei to try.
The girl, not daring to delay, scurried off and returned in a moment, still looking apologetic, and whispered, "Master, I really didn't mean to earlier, I... got lost in thought..."
"What were you thinking about that had you so engrossed?" Hua Xiaomai glanced at her, "Could it be that after seeing that handsome Mr. Han just now, your little heart couldn't stop pounding?"
"Master, you can't joke about that!" Zhou Yunyun, quite frightened, clutched her chest and stepped back, "If word got out, I'd be too ashamed to face anyone! I'm telling you the truth, I was just wondering... could it really be that you're going to compete with Mr. Han?"
