She knew what Xuan Peng meant by his words. After so many years, ugly had always been covered up by all sorts of luxurious tags.
However, that ugliness was still there. It could not be erased or disappeared. It was time to face it.
Taking a deep breath, Xuan Peng said something that had been in his mind for a long time: ”Aunt Hong, I feel that you and Xiao Ri are very similar in many ways. If you don't mind, I want you to recognize Xiao Ri as your adopted daughter.”
She didn't think Xuan Peng's words would be true. She nodded and only added, ”How about we make a pair of good things. Xuan Peng, you won't mind having me as your godmother, right?”
Xuan Peng was stunned. He was truly shocked, but he quickly reacted. He lowered his head, picked up a cup of tea, swirled it around his hand, and drank a mouthful.
The pair of heavy eyes reflected in the green tea soup were filled with a struggle.
After a second, Xuan Peng was like an old wheel that had stopped spinning. He swallowed the tepid tea in his mouth and then nodded at Qiu Hong.
Qiu Hong smiled. She said that it was a joyous occasion that was hard for me to come by after so many years. I must properly celebrate.
Without giving Xuan Peng time to go back on his word, Qiu Hong called a few of his best friends.
These friends were not sociable friends who would go shopping or drink tea. Many of them were women who had climbed into the high school gate with alcohol and alcohol from grassroots. They were worthy of Qiu Hong's trust.
Qiu Hong also called Yang Ziying, because Mo Xiaoxiao was her daughter-in-law, this was an irrevocable fact. Qiu Hong asked the waiter to remove the empty plate and replace it with a vegetarian one, then gave Mo Xiaoxiao a new dress, which was very conservative, a small lotus leaf suit.
Xuan Peng watched as Qiu Hong combed Mo Xiaoxiao's hair. He watched as she gently and benevolently painted his with a light makeup. He watched as the originally pure and sincere Xiao Hong turned into a charming and elegant woman. Xuan Peng regretted it.
He knew what Qiu Hong meant by 'brother and sister'. It was like a shackle had been placed on his and Mo Xiaoxiao's body, and it had also extinguished any of his fantasies towards her.
Xuan Peng slowly clenched his hand into a fist. The smile on his face was too deep. Xiao Yan, I also don't want to do anything that would let you down.
Brother and sister, let me stand by your side to protect you.
Xuan Peng let out a long sigh. He didn't want the dormant gossip to hurt him, and was even more afraid that one day, he would recover his memories and hate him for taking advantage of the situation.
Qiu Hong was blissful and moved, because she had dreamt of doing it for twenty years. Finally, at this time, it was round.
Silent Dye's silky hair slipped between her fingers. She slowly combed it and put on a beautiful hair ornament, wearing the light blue water drills she had prepared for Silent Dye years ago.
Qiu Hong took a step back and looked at Mo Xiaoxiao seriously. She seemed to have seen herself more than 20 years ago. She was so beautiful that the man who saw her couldn't move his eyes away.
”Xuan, are you enjoying it?” Silent Xiao Ran had obediently endured until now, when Qiu Hong finally came to an affirmative end.
He hastily stood up, turned around, and made a face at Xuan Peng. That small, exquisite face of his had a tinge of liveliness to it from this mischievous action.
Xuan Peng smiled, a doting smile coming from the bottom of his heart. His Little Rascal was always beautiful, always the most beautiful.
Xuan Peng stretched out his hands as he silently recited the name of Silent Xiao Yan in his heart. At the same time, he called out a new name: ”Little Sister.”
”Sister?” Mo Xiaoxiao widened her eyes in astonishment. She looked at Xuan Peng with suspicion, ”Isn't that the proclamation? Little sister, do I have to call you little sister from now on? ”
