“Look at this candy. You can blow the whistle to make a sound.” Wang Yuexiang waved a candy and showed it to Xiaojiao.
The whistle made a shrill sound and it pierced through the silence. The toy thrilled Xiaojiao and she loved it.
She extended her chubby hands and took the whistle candy from her grandmother. She blew on it first before popping the candy inside her mouth.
They sat side by side on the couch. Xiaojiao’s cheek was bulging with the candy inside her mouth, and she dangled her feet happily.
Su Yue came forward and frowned when she saw the snacks and candies. “Aunt, it’s late and she can’t eat too much.”
Wang Yuexiang waved her hands to dismiss her concerns. “Alright, I’ll take note. Later I’ll get her to brush her teeth. Don’t worry.”
“Ming Ansheng, why is your wife still addressing me as Aunt?”
Madam Wang frowned at Ming Ansheng as she threw him a question.
Ming Ansheng bowed with an apologetic smile. “I didn’t teach her well. Tonight I will make sure to teach her properly.”
He emphasized the word ‘tonight’ loudly.
Su Yue’s pretty little face instantly and literally turned crimson.
She bowed her head and stole a glance at Ming Ansheng. She thought to herself, ‘There is no way I’m sleeping with him tonight.’
The next moment, Ming Ansheng held her hand. He gripped it tightly as though he knew that Su Yue would struggle. He glanced at Wang Yuexiang and said, “Mother, can you take care of Xiaojiao tonight?”
Wang Yuexiang nodded casually. “Of course.”
“Then we will head upstairs.”
Without further ado, Ming Ansheng immediately dragged Su Yue towards the staircase.
Wang Yuexiang turned and yelled across the living room. “Give me Xiaojiao’s belongings. She can sleep with me from tonight onwards.”
Su Yue halted her footsteps and cast Ming Ansheng’s hand away. “Xiaojiao won’t be used to it,” protested Su Yue with a frown on her face.
She had barely ended her sentence when Xiaojiao cried out, “I want to sleep with Mommy!”
“Xiaojiao, I…” Wang Yuexiang hastily carried Xiaojiao and whispered in her ear.
Xiaojiao suddenly changed her mind after her grandmother whispered to her. “I sleep with grandmother.”
She rubbed her eyes and smiled brightly.
Su Yue insisted no more and clammed up.
Someone was coming down from the staircase.
Su Yue raised her head and saw a tiny figure rushing down.
The girl was about Beibei’s age, and she was tanned and lean. She had pretty features with long black hair. She wore a bright red t-shirt with a pair of white pants.
She seemed to come down in a rush.
She must be Uncle Ming’s niece. Ming Anyu’s daughter, Xiaomei.
Su Yue gazed at the girl as she swept past them like a gust of wind. She didn’t even pause to look at them.
She had a target in sight and bolted for the couch.
“Grandmother! Is she our little sister?” The girl went to Wang Yuexiang and pointed at Xiaojiao.
“Yeah.” Wang Yuexiang smiled and pulled Xiaomei towards her. “You have to play with her in the future, alright?”
