Chapter 119: Deja Vu
Because Ye Xiaong had returned, Shu Pan felt that life had beco much more exciting.
Ye Xiaong stayed in a company-provided single apartnt, and whenever she had free ti, she would co to Shu Pan’s house to spend ti with Joy.
On this particular weekend, Shu Pan was supposed to have a day off, but due to so unfinished work that had tight deadlines, she needed to go back to the office to do overti.
Ye Xiaong happened to have free ti. “Don’t worry, today I’ll take care of
Joy for you. You can focus on your work.”
“That’s great. If you weren’t here, I was thinking of enrolling her in full-day kindergarten,” Shu Pan finally felt relieved. Occasionally, one day of overti work was enough to make her feel overwheld.
“Joy, sweetheart, godmother will take you to enjoy so good food and have fun today. Are you excited?” Ye Xiaong turned to Joy, hugging her and giving her kisses.
“But Mommy’s not coming?” Joy seed a bit unwilling and had a hint of moodiness on her face.
“Mommy has to work, so you’ll go out and have fun with godmother first.
Mommy will co to find you both after work, okay?” Shu Pan coaxed Joy.
“Okay,” the little one finally agreed.
Ye Xiaong had never taken care of children before and wasn’t very confident, but she thought of taking Joy to the mall, which kids should enjoy since it’s crowded and lively. She also wanted to buy a couple of outfits for Joy since she knew her friend Shu Pan was usually frugal and reluctant to spend As expected, the weekend mall was bustling with people. Ye Xiaong tightly held Joy’s little hand. “Sweetie, hold onto godmother’s hand tightly, so you don’t get lost.”
“Okay, godmother,” Joy’s tender voice lted hearts.
Ye Xiaong took Joy from one shop to another. In a children’s clothing store, she bought two new outfits for her.
“Godmother, I already have many pretty clothes. You don’t need to buy more,” Joy held Ye Xiaong’s hand and stopped her from paying.
“Sweetie, it’s fine. These are gifts from godmother. Godmother wants to dress you up like a beautiful little princess,” Ye Xiaong inexplicably felt like crying. Her voice trembled, and she felt sorry for Shu Pan’s hardships and for Joy, who had to be so mature at such a young age.
It was an age when children should be carefree and cherished by their parents, but because of her father’s heartlessness, she and her daughter had suffered.
Ye Xiaong held the shopping bags in one hand and Joy’s hand in the other. Just around the corner, Joy was pushed from behind, making her lose her balance and bump into the person in front.
Song Can felt like she had chosen the wrong day to go ring shopping with Tong Fei. The mall was crowded today, and just like that, she got bumped from behind.
She turned around and saw that she had been bumped into by a little girl. Perhaps because she had collided with soone, the little girl looked frightened, likely worried about being scolded.
With a face filled with fear, she looked at Song Can. Her dark, innocent eyes made it hard to scold her. She kept apologizing, “Granny, I’m sorry, I accidentally bumped into you.”
Before she could say anything, Tong Fei had already spoken harshly, “Whose child is this, rushing around and bumping into people like that?”
Because of Tong Fei’s stern words, the little girl’s eyes started to well up.
Song Can’s brows furrowed slightly as she looked at the child’s features.. She had a strange feeling of familiarity, but they had just t today, hadn’t they? Where could she have seen her before?
