If they could nurture Yuan Xu well, Yuan Ming and Sun Li would have someone to rely on in the future. After all, Yuan Wei’s personality was a little extreme. Yuan Xiao was very worried that she would become hostile to the Yuan couple.
When she returned to the Yuan Family, Yuan Xiao saw Sun Li cutting fruits in the kitchen the moment she entered.
“Mom, I’m back.” Yuan Xiao did not change the way she addressed the Yuan couple.
After all, they had raised her for more than 10 years. Yuan Xiao had long treated them as family. Even if they were not related by blood, it could not change Yuan Xiao’s feelings for them.
“Xiao Xiao!” When Sun Li saw Yuan Xiao walk in, she hurriedly walked out of the kitchen to welcome her.
un Li hugged Yuan Xiao tightly in her arms. Her eyes were a little moist. The moment she saw Yuan Xiao, Sun Li felt aggrieved. She was clearly the child she loved the most, but now, she could not live by her side every day.
“Mom, what’s wrong with you? Shouldn’t you be happy to see me?” Yuan Xiao gently wiped the tears from the corners of Sun Li’s eyes, and a wave of sorrow welled up in her heart. If not for fate, she would still be the carefree eldest daughter of the Yuan family.
“I’m just so happy to see you.”
Sun Li sniffed and brought Yuan Xiao to the two large suitcases. She pointed at the two large suitcases and said, “Xiao Xiao, bring these back later.”
Yuan Xiao walked forward and wanted to lift the two suitcases, but she realized that she could not move them at all. “Mom, what’s inside?”
“I bought everything that I thought suited you during this period of time.
Unlmowingly, I accumulated up so much. I originally wanted to send it directly to school for you, but your father said that the space in school was limited, so I wanted you to bring it home and pick some useful ones to bring to school.”
Sun Li was afraid that Yuan Xiao would be worried that she would not be able to carry it, so she said to her, “I’ll get the chauffeur to send it to your house later. Don’t worry about not being able to carry it.’
“Mom, I don’t lack anything.” Yuan Xiao did not know how to reject Sun Li’s good intentions. She knew Sun Li’s personality very well. If she did not accept these things, Sun Li would definitely secretly cry.
“I know. IVs just a token of my intentions. It’s not anything precious. Just accept it.”
Yuan Xiao could only nod. Thinking of her main purpose for coming back,
Yuan Xiao asked the Yuan couple, “Where’s little brother? Take me to see him.” “Alright, your father often shows Xiao Xu your photo. He’ll definitely be happy to see you.”
Yuan Xiao had never interacted with children before. After seeing Yuan Xu, she realized that children’s hands were actually so small. Moreover, their entire bodies were soft to the touch and were especially cute.
Yuan Xu looked very obedient. His skin was fair, and his big eyes flickered. He stared at Yuan Xiao for a long time and stretched out his little hand to her.
“Xiao Xiao, he wants to be carried by you.” Sun Li picked up Yuan Xu, who was lying on the crib, and handed him to Yuan Xiao, who was standing by the bed.
Yuan Xiao was originally worried that the little fellow would cry because of her, but she did not expect Yuan Xu to be especially obedient. Not only did he not have the intention to cry, but he also pressed his chubby little face tightly against Yuan Xiao, as if he liked this beautiful sister who was hugging him.
“Looks like Xiao Xu really likes Sister.” Yuan Ming looked at the exceptionally harmonious siblings and felt very warm in his heart.
It was unknown if it had heard Yuan Ming’s words, but the little fellow actually babbled and called her ‘Sister’.
Yuan Xiao felt that it was very magical. As she stared at the little fellow’s chubby face, her heart was about to melt. She gently kissed his cheek.
“Xiao Xu, be good. When you’re a little older, I’ll bring you out to play, okay?” Yuan Xu widened his big round eyes as if he understood. He smiled and nodded at Yuan Xiao.
“Can you understand? Looks like my younger brother is a little genius.” Yuan Xiao looked at Yuan Xu in surprise. She felt that this child indeed looked much smarter than children his age.
Yuan Xu was very comfortable in Yuan Xiao’s arms. He was unwilling to let Yuan Xiao go even when she wanted to place him down. He directly retracted his short legs and refused to plant his feet.
Sun Li and Yuan Ming were relieved to see the especially harmonious siblings.
“Xiao Xiao, I’ll go and check on the food preparation. Stay with Little Brother for a while longer. Come down when the food is ready.” Sun Li pulled Yuan Ming downstairs, as if she wanted Yuan Xiao to stay with Yuan Xu for a while more.
Seeing Sun Li and Yuan Ming leave, Yuan Xiao felt warm carrying Yuan Xu in her arms..
