Chapter 560: Sour (2)
"Thank you." Lanni took the gift and tried not to show reluctance. Luckily, Ji Meiling didn’t seek trouble with her afterwards. She left the mall after saying goodbye to the women but they couldn’t help exchanging glances once she was gone.
"Is there something wrong with her?" Asked Luna, finding her odd.
"No idea. Let’s go somewhere for a snack." Lanni suggested. Her mood had been ruined but she didn’t want to ruin the whole day because of it.
The other two agreed, so they went to a nearby café. They ordered decaffeinated coffee and cake pieces, which they dug in hungrily.
Xiaomu looked at her mother’s, and aunts’ coffee, then at her own milk bottle and frowned sadly.
"Mumu, do you want to have a taste?" Lanni chuckled as she offered her niece a sip. When the latter nodded, Lanni leaned over to her and let her have some. The girl’s eyes brightened as she resumed drinking her milk and eating her cake. It was just a sip of coffee but Xiaomu was so much happier after having it.
"You are going to spoil her to the end of the world." Luna smiled at their heartwarming interaction.
"She’s just so cute." Lanni tapped the girl’s head and when the latter looked up innocently to ask what was wrong, she kissed her cheek which made her even happier.
When the girl finished her milk, she stretched her arms out to Lanni. "Aunty," She cooed.
"Come here." Lanni put her purse on the table to make space for her niece and picked the little girl up. Xiamu tugged at her little dress, prompting Lanni to stand.
"We’ll be back shortly." She explained and dashed towards the restrooms.
