Chapter 109: Don

Lu Xiwán knows all too well the principle that long nights bring many dreams.

Fu Sijue has already started to doubt, and her situation will only become more difficult from now on.

Staying any longer would be detrimental to her.

Xi Xi shook her head like a tambourine, "Mommy doesn't understand Yao Yao brother; what he ever needs is not a great doctor, but Mommy's love."

As a peer, Xi Xi can best understand Yao Yao's feelings.

What good does growing up with a golden spoon do?

In his life, there is no love that a mother figure would bring.

For Yao Yao, life is incomplete.

"Xi Xi, stop talking nonsense!"

"Even if you call me more intimately, I'm not Yao Yao's brother's biological mother."

"Yao Yao is not my child, and I could never truly become his mom!"

Because she was emotional, Lu Xiwán almost shouted this sentence.

After calming down, she realized that Xi Xi was frightened, and she began to reflect on her own behavior.

Lu Xiwán tried hard to soothe Xi Xi's emotions.

"Xi Xi, relationships between adults aren't as simple as you kids think."

"Yao Yao is indeed a very good child, but he has his own life."

"We can't ruin his original life trajectory just because he depends on me!"

Fate has long charted the path each of them should take, with not a single step allowed to deviate.

For the rest of the journey, Xi Xi sat there quietly, not saying a word.

The car slowly stopped at the hotel entrance.

Lu Xiwán knew she was at fault and let out a helpless sigh.

She carefully lifted Lu Xixi from the seat.

Si Jiuyin had been waiting outside the door; upon meeting, she affectionately took Lu Xixi and gave her two big fragrant kisses.

"Then, comrade Xi Wan, could you please hand over today's gift to our little princess Lu Xixi!"

Si Jiuyin stepped aside.

It was only then that Lu Xiwán saw two toy boxes placed behind her.

Lu Xixi, who had been downcast all the way, suddenly had her eyes light up.

"This is the latest limited‑edition Barbie!"

"Aunt Si Jiuyin, I really love you so much!"

Lu Xiwán also laughed at Lu Xixi's reaction, exchanged a glance with Si Jiuyin, and smiled as they walked toward the private room.

The moment the door opened and she saw inside, Lu Xixi became even more excited.

"Wow! Sweet‑and‑sour pork ribs, squirrel‑shaped mandarin fish, and… Aunt Si Jiuyin, you ordered all the dishes Xi Xi loves!"

Lu Xixi's craving was instantly sparked, and the earlier displeasure was instantly cast aside.

The cute look made people want to pat it a couple of times.

"Just back in the country and already preparing such a huge sugar‑coated cannonball to bribe us?"

"Xi Xi already liked you, and at this rate you'll become closer to her than I am!"

Lu Xiwán sat near the doorway, casting a plaintively resentful glance at Si Jiuyin.

Seeing this, Si Jiuyin widened her eyes and, incredulously laughing, said, "No way, you'll even swallow a child's jealousy?"

"If only I could truly surpass you."

"Who doesn't know that Xi Xi has been a mama's‑pet girl since childhood; no matter how many sugar‑coated cannonballs I prepare, I can't shake your position!"

Lu Xiwán deliberately kept a stern face and teased Si Jiuyin, "Knowing that Xi Xi only listens to me, you still want to flirt with her?"

Si Jiuyin shook her head helplessly, "Stop it, let's eat quickly!"

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and both had a bellyful of things to say.

Lu Xixi suddenly fell silent, stopped eating, and sat quietly in her chair.
