“Xiaoxiao, in the future, come over to our house to play with Ding Ding more often. Grandma really likes you,” Li Wanqing adored this sweet-talking little girl and smiled warmly as she advised Xiaoxiao.

Upon hearing this, Coco was delighted. His face lit up with a smile, and he eagerly responded, “Thank you, Grandma. Don’t worry, I’ll bring her over to our house frequently.”

“Alright, alright,” Li Wanqing agreed with a smile.

As long as it made her grandson happy, she wouldn’t mind if Xiaoxiao stayed at their house every day.

However, Shen Mei’s face turned dark.

She didn’t like Xiaoxiao at all, and the fact that she wanted her to come over frequently would only cause trouble for her and Lanlan.

Before she could express her thoughts, she heard Xiaoxiao loudly say, “Grandma, Auntie doesn’t want me to come here; she dislikes me.”

As she spoke, Xiaoxiao pointed her finger directly at Shen Mei.

Everyone was taken aback and turned their gaze to Shen Mei.

Shen Mei was also shocked. How did this detestable little girl manage to voice her thoughts out loud?

“Xiaoxiao, Auntie would never dislike you coming to play. Of course, you’re very welcome, and you can come over anytime you want,” Shen Mei flashed a forced smile, immediately trying to smooth things over. Deep down, she harbored even stronger resentment towards Xiaoxiao.

Of course, she had no idea that Xiaoxiao had already read her intentions. She thought Xiaoxiao was just randomly guessing.

“That’s right, Xiaoxiao. If you like it here, you can come and play with me often. We’ll be happy to have you,” Li Zhenting also chimed in with a smile.

Children are known for their innocence, after all.

“Really? Then 1’11 come over often with my brother,” Xiaoxiao said with a crescent-shaped smile, glaring triumphantly at Shen Mei with her big eyes.

Shen Mei was furious. As she locked eyes with Xiaoxiao, she suddenly felt a shiver down her spine.

Wait a minute.

This little girl’s big eyes were strangely similar to someone else’s!

She froze, and in her mind, she saw the face of Shen Ning. Her face turned pale, and she dropped her chopsticks.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” she panicked as she tried to pick up her chopsticks.

By the time she had picked them up, her heart was still racing. But Xiaoxiao had already turned her head to speak quietly with Ding Ding, and from that angle, there was no trace of Shen Ning’s resemblance.

Shen Mei breathed a sigh of relief.

After dinner, it had already turned dark outside.

Li Zhenting looked at Xiaoxiao and said, “Xiaoxiao, where do you live? Uncle can take you home if you’d like.”

“No,” Xiaoxiao hadn’t answered yet, but Coco spoke up first, “Today, Xiaoxiao will stay with me. She won’t be going home.”

Li Zhenting furrowed his brows slightly. “Ding Ding, if Xiaoxiao stays with us, we need her parents’ permission. They might be worried.”

“Her parents already know and agreed to let her stay,” Coco replied as if he were her parent.

Li Zhenting gave him a stern look.

This kid liked Xiaoxiao so much that he didn’t care about anything else, but he was an adult and had a responsibility to take Xiaoxiao home. Any parent would be worried if their child went missing.

“Xiaoxiao, do you have your mom and dad’s phone numbers? 1 can call them, and if they agree, you can stay,” he said with a smile.

Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment and looked at Coco.

Coco gave her a reassuring nod.

She shook her head and said, “I don’t remember.”

“Do you at least know where your home is?” Li Zhenting asked, somewhat amused. After all, she was only five years old; he couldn’t expect her to remember a long string of phone numbers.

Xiaoxiao still didn’t say anything.

Li Zhenting, seeing that Xiaoxiao didn’t even know where her home was, decided that it wouldn’t be right to keep her without her parents’ permission. He took out his phone and said, “Alright, let me call Teacher Wang.”

Seeing this, Xiaoxiao had no choice but to say, “My home is at Zhengsheng Apartments.”

Teacher Wang had no idea who she was, and if Li Zhenting found out that she wasn’t attending Blue Whale Kindergarten, he might not allow her to interact with Coco in the future.

She didn’t want that!
