In An’an’s eyes, tears instantly welled up, "Does Brother Nian Nian not like An’an anymore?"
Usually, Lu Sinian would indulge her, but now he suddenly doesn’t; the little one was extrely wronged. Lu Sinian pointed to the heap on the table, "Except for these, An’an, everything else there can be yours, oh, and this can’t be either!"
He hugged the photo fra beside him to his chest.
An’an sniffed sadly, and Lu Sinian rolled his eyes, "How about I take you to eat so cake?"
"Yes, yes!" The child was quickly appeased!
Lu Sinian put down the things in his hand and led An’an away. Just as he turned around, An’an stood still, looking left and right, and Lu Sinian asked, "Why aren’t you coming with ?"
"Brother Nian Nian, how co you have two new moms?" An’an looked at Ji Niandong and then at Gu Xiyao, her eyes wide in amazent.
Most kids don’t rember people well, having only a faint impression; suddenly seeing two similar people, she couldn’t tell which was which!
What she said made things seem a bit awkward. An Lin was about to speak when Lu Sinian said, "You’re really silly, this one is!"
He pointed to Ji Niandong, and An’an nodded, "Hello, Nian Nian’s mom!"
Being addressed like this suddenly, Ji Niandong was a bit excited and awkwardly glanced at Gu Xiyao. Seeing her still sporting a standard lady-like smile, she replied, "Hello, An’an, go have cake with Brother Nian Nian!"
"Alright, Brother Nian Nian, let’s go!" She bounced along, pulling Lu Sinian as they left.
An Lin sat down and said, "Kids don’t understand, Tongtong and Xiyao, don’t mind!" After saying that, she looked at Gu Xiyao, "Xiyao, it’s been more than a month since you returned, right? Why haven’t you co to my place for a visit?"
Not far away, Lu Sinian stopped and turned around to take a look.
Gu Xiyao smiled sweetly, "I’ve been busy discussing the marriage arrangent lately. It’s nice that Sister An Lin still rembers . Once I have so free ti, I’ll definitely co over!"
"Listen to how you say that," An Lin replied with a half-smile, "I’m Beichen’s classmate and friend; since he’s your Little Uncle, you should naturally call Aunt An Lin. I’m not afraid of you calling old. You should be calling Tongtong as Young Auntie, right? Both of us got to know you through Beichen."
Gu Xiyao’s smile slightly waned, "Hello, Aunt An Lin!"
An Lin’s remarks undoubtedly pressed Gu Xiyao to recognize the hierarchy and left her speechless, prompting her to greet politely.
Lu Beichen added, "Indeed, Dad and Aunt Hui can be called in a parental way, but there’s no such relation for An Lin and Tongtong."
Gu Xiyao nodded graciously, "It was my oversight, I’ve been too cautious, worrying about everyone minding being called old!"
"I don’t mind!" Ji Niandong finally replied.
Gu Xiyao was montarily stunned, then quickly returned to normal, giving her a gentle smile, but said nothing further.
Until Housekeeper Lu ca in and whispered in Lu Qingyuan’s ear, "The Tong Family people have co to offer congratulations?"
Lu Qingyuan’s expression was hard to read, surprise flashing briefly across his face. Just as he was about to stand up to greet them, the visitors had already stepped inside, "Uncle Lu, it’s coming. No need to make a fuss and get up to greet !"
Lu Qingyuan stood there and couldn’t help but laugh, "So it’s you, you rascal!"
He said, glancing at Ji Niandong, whose mouth looked like it could fit an egg at that mont, her astonishnt at the sight of the visitor overwhelming.
Apart from magazine shoots, it was rare to see him dressed in such a perfectly tailored suit. His once fluffy hair had been trimd short, reverted back to its black color, with bangs slicked up, matching the attire, standing against the light at the doorway, appearing mature, charismatic, and highly imposing.
