Chapter 48: Rival; Gu Shi
The girl fixed her gaze on Xin Yan, who smiled warmly in response. She hoped the little girl agreed, but if she didn’t, she would not force her.
"Will I be able to eat tasty food?" The girl posed an innocent question. Xin Yan gave a positive nod while fighting back tears.
"And to be protected from the rain and sun?" The little girl inquired, and Xin Yan nodded, a tear falling from her eyes. She felt sorry for the girl and wanted to help her.
"Then I will follow you, Aunty," she agreed, giving Xin Yan a bright smile that contrasted with her gloomy appearance.
Xin Yan laughed, while Chen Wenling secretly wiped her tears. It was a truly heartwarming moment.
"Good, then I will call you Xin Chuxi; Xin is my surname and Yan is my name; I promise you that you will not face any problems while you live with me." Xin Yan squatted to her level, holding the little girl’s shoulders.
"I believe Aunt Yan," the little girl, now known as Xin Chuxi, said, smiling.
The little girl appears to have smiled more frequently after Xin Yan’s promise.
"Then, will you accompany Aunt to get new clothes, and after shopping, Aunt will take you to meet her grandparents? How does that sound?" Xin Yan asked, her eyes bright.
Xin Chuxi nodded cheerfully, which made Xin Yan happy as well.
"Chen Wenling," Xin Yan said, and she knew what she needed to do.
