As soon as Coco hung up the phone, he happily waved to the little figure standing over there.
Xiaoxiao ran over joyfully.
They held hands and climbed into the luxurious Li family car parked nearby. @@novelbin@@
âWow, big brother, this car is so beautiful,â Xiaoxiao exclaimed as she looked around the car in wonder.
âWhatâs this compared to the Li Manor? That place is truly stunning, like something out of a fairytale kingdom,â Coco said casually. âWhen we get there, Iâll take you to explore and have fun.â
âReally?â Xiaoxiaoâs eyes were filled with astonishment. âSo, dad is really wealthy.â
âHe certainly is,â Coco said, getting up and opening a treasure chest with a variety of snacks that made Xiaoxiaoâs eyes widen in amazement.
He expertly selected several delicious treats and handed them to Xiaoxiao. Suddenly, a subtle sensitivity emerged in her gaze as she looked at him and softly said, âBig brother, will you and mom still want me in the future?â
Coco was taken aback, and he gently patted her little head with his chubby hands. An unhappy expression crossed his face as he said, âXiao Xiao, why do you think such things? How could I ever not want you and mom?â
âThen promise me that no matter what happens, you wonât leave me and mom,â Xiao Xiao implored earnestly, holding Cocoâs hand with a serious expression.
âOkay, I promise,â Coco readily agreed.
Ah, this little sister was wonderful in everyway, just a bit lacking in confidence and sensitivity, probably due to growing up without a father.
He held her hand tightly, as if trying to instill confidence in her.
Xiao Xiao smiled sweetly.
As the car pulled up at the Li Manor, Coco led Xiao on a sightseeing tour.
âThe mansion is truly beautiful,â Xiao Xiao said, her face filled with awe as she gazed at the majestic and elegant building.
âHowever, no matter how beautiful it is, I still donât want to live here. I prefer being with mom,â Coco nodded slightly.
The warmest and happiest place was wherever mom was.
âThatâs true,â Xiao Xiao agreed, her expression serious. âBut dad belongs to us. We need to find a way to get rid of that wicked stepmother and help mom win back our dad.â
âYes, indeed. We must do our best,â Cocoâs expression grew serious as well.
He was contemplating that if their dad turned out to be truly despicable, they might have to abandon him altogether!
In the living room, Li Wanqing sat on the sofa reading a newspaper.
Coco walked in, holding Xiao Xiaoâs hand.
âHello, Grandma,â the two children ran over and greeted her with sweet voices, both bowing politely.
âOh, my little grandchildren are back from school,â Li Wanqing immediately put down the newspaper and smiled kindly. She looked at Xiao Xiao and waved to her enthusiastically, asking, âYouâre Xiao Xiao, Ding Dingâs friend, right?â âYes,â Xiao Xiao smiled warmly. âGrandma, you look so young and elegant. If Ding Ding hadnât told me youâre his grandma, 1 might have mistaken you for his aunt.â
Xiao Xiao had already discerned Li Wanqingâs sentiments. She loved compliments and being praised for looking young, so she quickly played to that.
However, she genuinely felt that Li Wanqing was youthful and refined. Despite being in her fifties, she appeared to be in her thirties or forties. Xiao Xiao wanted to express her admiration from the heart.
âReally?â Li Wanqing couldnât stop smiling now. She reached out and lifted Xiao Xiaoâs soft and gentle body, placing her on her lap and giving her a gentle kiss on her forehead.
The little girl leaned against her softly. For some reason, she felt a natural sense of familiarity..
