Chapter 867: A Chance Encounter with Niu Rang in S Province 9
"Auntie He, we don’t want any gifts. We’re happy enough just having Auntie He and mom take us out to play." Little Jialang hugged He Zhilan around the neck and planted a kiss on her with a smooch.
Xiulin chuckled lightly and mouthed a word at He Zhilan – "acting".
Xiulin knew her children better than their own father did – they were champions at pretense!
"Oh my, Jialang and Jiaqing are so well-behaved!" Understanding Xiulin’s gesture, He Zhilan became somewhat suspicious as she looked at the two little ones. She thought that nowadays, especially children cherished by their parents, grandparents, and maternal grandparents, few are so sensible.
"Of course! Mom says that good children shouldn’t just ask for things from others!" Xing Jiaqing flashed He Zhilan a brilliant smile, then added, "But, Auntie He isn’t someone else, right? Auntie He is mom’s very good friend, and also a very good friend of mine and my little brother’s! If Auntie He wants to buy a gift for me and my little brother as a keepsake, we wouldn’t reject Auntie He’s kindness. However, since we’re little and can’t carry too much, Auntie He absolutely must not buy us too much!"
"Pfft~" At this point, He Zhilan really couldn’t help but laugh. Indeed, what clever little imps.
"So Jiaqing, what kind of keepsake do you think Auntie He should buy for you that would be meaningful?" asked He Zhilan. "Would a pretty princess dress or a doll be better?"
"A doll! I love dolls the most! I hope to have a whole room full of dolls one day!" Xing Jiaqing’s little fox tail was showing.
