Chapter 822 - Walls Have Ears (2/2)

”Li, where are you going?” asked Su Xixi ignoring Ying.

”I've something to ask Liu Nuan,” stated Xiao Li honestly. ”Do you want to come with me?”

”You can take her but not me?” questioned Ying.

”Auntie is not impulsive like you,” replied Xiao Li. ”Besides, auntie is very good at making people speak the truth.”

”I'm also very good!” Ying shot back.

”The more you're insisting to join me, the more I don't want to take you with me.”

Before Ying could say anything, the three of them heard a whistling sound and looked towards the stairs. All of them looked surprised to see Ah-Si whistling as he skipped down the stairs happily. Although he still had a pale complexion, his aura seemed to have lit up now.

”Little son, aren't you supposed to be on your bed right now?” Su Xixi was the first one to question.

Ah-Si looked at the three of them and grinned, ”I'm going back to the room to rest now.”

”How are you feeling now?”

”Godmother, I'm perfectly fine now. Don't worry about me,” said Ah-Si as he hugged Su Xixi and acted cutely. Seeing that Ying's face twitched.

”Why do you look so happy? Did something good happen? Won't you share it with all of us?” asked Ying.

”I can't be happy alone?” retorted Ah-Si.

”I don't think Nora's salty soup was this magical to make you turn into an entirely different person all of a sudden,” remarked Xiao Li.

Ah-Si tutted at him, ”Bro, are you doubting the power of love?”

”I don't think it's the power of love though,” said Ying. She looked towards the stairs as she added, ”You came from upstairs that means you went to up see Xiu. She must have done something to put you in such a good mood.”

Ah-Si thought about his words before he said, ”Godmother, do you know my Sister Xiu?” Su Xixi nodded her head. ”Then you should also know that my Sister Xiu has a strange magic. She can make everything alright.”

”What nonsense are you spouting now?” questioned Xiao Li.

”Bro, you're the one who used to say that whenever she is around, you instantly feel happy. She is like an energizer that makes everything seem easy. Didn't you say it to me?”

Xiao Li recalled his own words and nodded, ”Yes, I did. So what?”

”Then how can you question her magic?” retorted Ah-Si. ”Now, I totally believe you. She indeed is magical.”

”Now, I'm all the more interested in knowing what she said to you to make you look so happy,” said Ying.

Su Xixi pushed Ah-Si's hair away from his forehead as she said, ”It doesn't matter what made you so happy. I'm just happy to see that our family's little one is happy. Earlier, I was really concerned about your condition. I even lectured your father. What a poor job he is doing at taking care of you!”

Ah-Si pressed his lips together as he imagined the scene of his father getting lectured. It made him want to laugh out.

”And since your Sister Xiu managed to fix whatever was bothering you, then I also should say she has some magic in her hands. And I should personally thank her as well.”

Ying scoffed, ”You only know how to shower all your love on him.” She made a face as she went on, ”But why are you forgetting that he is no more the little one of our family. The youngest in the house is Ava! And soon, even her spot will be snatched!”

”How?”

Ying have both Xin brothers a look before she said, ”Are you both forgetting that Xiu is expecting? Once she gave birth, her child will take the place of the youngest one in this family.”

”That's true,” agreed Ah-Si.

”I'm getting late,” said Xiao Li. ”I'm gonna take my leave now.”

Thinking of something, Ying turned to her mom and said, ”Mom, you haven't met Xiu yet, right? You should go with Ah-Si and meet her. She is super amazing. You'll love spending time with her. You go to her, I'm going out with Ah-Li.”

Su Xixi held the back of Ying's hair and pulled her back saying, ”Ah-Li, you can leave.” Xiao Li smiled at Su Xixi and gave Ying a teasing wink before he ran off. ”And you young lady go to your room. So do you, young one!”

Both Ying and Ah-Si shared a look before they turned towards their rooms.

Meanwhile, Su Xixi kept watching them as she wondered, 'Even my daughter is praising you highly... It'll be interesting to know you more, Bai Xiu.'
