Mrs. Xiao looked at her daughter and said in a hoarse voice, "Yes, it depends on what you think. If you still want to be with that kid Li Chenggang, I must handle things with discretion."
Xiao Chenyue shook her head, "Mom, I don't want to be with him anymore," she held the swaddled baby tightly to her chest, her nervousness causing her to speak faster.
"I know if I go back now, I'll surely be a burden, but I..."
Before finishing her sentence, Xiao Chenyue was hugged tightly by Mrs. Xiao. "Silly girl, you're not a burden, you're Mom's first daughter, the apple of Mom's eye."
The apple of her eye?
Xiao Chenyue recalled the days spent at the Li family, feeling as if she was less than a dog there.
Although she thought her tears had long dried up, she couldn't hold back now, clutching her child as she nestled into Mrs. Xiao's arms, breaking down in tears.
Wen Ran felt a bittersweet ache in her heart upon seeing this.
