361 Son, Ism Your Father 15 (1/2)
Long Xiaoxi got down from the swing. Slightly infuriated, she retorted, ”Sister Bao'er, I think you should ask your mother why you're supposed to call her your Auntie.”
Watching Long Xiaoxi's figure recede, Jin Bao'er turned around to leave as well.
On the way to school, Jin Bao'er asked her mother, who was driving, ”Mommy, why do I have to call her Auntie even though they're not married yet?”
”You silly child, why are you asking such a question?”
”I just don't understand it.”
”That's because your Uncle and Auntie were once married in the past and share a child together. They'll get married again in the future.”
”Can't I address her properly after they're married in the future?”
”Would it hurt to call her 'Auntie'? Look how polite those children are. Can't you be like them?” Jin Qingyue chided, slightly peeved at her daughter's stubbornness and twisted logic.
”No matter how polite they may be, they're still not your children. Other children have fathers, why don't I have one? Why can't I be like them and have a father too?”
Jin Bao'er's words had struck a sour note within Jin Qingyue. She turned to look at her precious daughter and said, ”You're better off not acknowledging your biological father. If you want a father, I'll find you one in the future. Besides, you may not have a father, but I've given you all my love. Isn't that enough?”
”No, of course not. Everyone else has a father, I want a father too. Bring me to see my biological father.”
”Bao'er, Mommy's going to get angry if you keep behaving this way.”
Upon hearing her mother's warning, Jin Bao'er fell silent and remained seated obediently.
Jin Qingyue put on the safety belt and began driving away.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

An Xiaoning decided to go shopping in the afternoon and buy a few sets of clothes. Since the weather was getting warm, she had to start wearing clothes that were more cooling.
She entered a prestigious clothing store known for its cutting-edge designs and reliable quality.
She laid her eyes upon a jacket and asked for the price, ”Miss, how much does this cost?”
”Hello, 370 thousand dollars.”
”Can I bargain?” An Xiaoning asked with a grin.
”Of course.”
”50 thousand.”
”Miss, you're asking for way too low. We can't even cover the cost with such a low price,” the sales assistant said in astonishment.
”If it weren't because it's a branded label, I would've just offered you a few hundred dollars at most. I used to be in the fashion apparel business, you can't fool me.”
Noticing that An Xiaoning was about to leave, the sales assistant hurriedly made an offer, ”Miss, could you offer a little bit more?”
”45 thousand.”
With a sullen expression on her face, the sales assistant conceded, ”Forget it, 50 thousand it is. I'll sell it to you at a loss. Do recommend this store to your friends, okay?”
”50 thousand is still overcharging. You've ripped me off,” An Xiaoning remarked, pursing her lips.
”Wow, Miss, I'm already selling it to you at a loss and yet you still say you're being ripped off. This is a luxury label, not a street market.”
”The difference between luxury goods and those sold at street markets is more than just quality. It also includes rental and location.” An Xiaoning handed the sales assistant her bank card and said, ”I'm paying by card.”
Just as she exited the store with her bag of clothes, she bumped into Mo Li, whom she had not seen in a long time.
Mo Li had looked completely different from before. She had gotten slightly chubbier and was dressed fashionably, with her long locks draped across her shoulders. She exuded the aura of a wealthy woman and was accompanied by bodyguards.
”Is that you, Xiaoning?” Mo Li exclaimed, surprised to see An Xiaoning.
”Yes, it's me, what a coincidence.”
”I patronize this clothing store frequently. Are you done shopping already?”
”Yes.”
Finding it rather rare to bump into her, Mo Li eagerly invited, ”Drop by my house for a visit. I really want to have a chat with you, I haven't seen you in so long.”
