An Xi naturally took the vegetable basket from Li Wan’s hand and said, looking at Jiang Xin as kindly as possible, “Would little Xin like to go buy vegetables with sister?”
“…”
Jiang Xin took a step back in terror, then suddenly burst into tears with a “Wah”.
An Xi felt a bit awkward and touched her nose… was she really that scary?
“Xian Xian, Auntie is fine, cough cough… just a minor issue.” Unlike Jiang Xin, Li Wan felt a slight joy in her heart.
Usually, when An Xi called her, she would use terms like “hey”, “you there”, or “you”. Today was the first time she had softly called her “Auntie”.
Hearing the subtle change in Li Wan’s tone, An Xi knew exactly what she was thinking and feeling. She felt that the woman in front of her was living a truly heartbreaking life, and the culprit was her own immature self.
“Auntie, I can’t call you mother right now… but I will try,” An Xi relaxed, trying to make her tone sincere.
Although she was changing, she couldn’t immediately bring herself to call her “Mom”…
“It’s okay… it’s okay, Xian Xian… cough… this is good enough…”
For Li Wan, this response was beyond her expectations.
Poor Jiang Xin had been crying for a while, and finding that no one was paying attention to him, he could only stand to the side, sobbing and secretly looking at An Xi.
“Ka-cha.”
The door opened again, this time it was An Xi’s father, An Cheng, who had returned. Seeing the scene, he thought Jiang Xin had upset An Xi again and immediately frowned, striding over.
Jiang Xin, who had just stopped crying, immediately sensed something was wrong and burst into tears again with a “Wah”.
“Dad! Won’t you give your daughter who hasn’t seen you for half a year a hug?”
An Xi silently moved in front of Jiang Xin and stretched out her hand with a smile. Wheedling with her father was something she was good at… In her previous life, she had done this often, though the ultimate goal was always to “torment” Jiang Xin.
“Xian Xian… what are you doing?”
An Cheng naturally saw An Xi’s small move and didn’t get angry, instead hugging her.
