"Sorry, Auntie!" Xia Lin said sheepishly, "My mom always says I'm like a kid who never grew up, just knowing how to play, I really am a bit..."
"It's okay. You're still young! Besides, what's wrong with being a kid who hasn't grown up? If Ji Chuan likes you, he would be more than willing to spoil you like a child. Right, Ji Chuan?" Meng Qingmei smoothed things over for Ji Chuan and gave him a look.
"Yes. Mom, you really know me well," Ji Chuan laughed.
Hearing this, Xia Lin felt a bit embarrassed, not knowing how to resolve the awkwardness with words for a moment.
She simply gave a slight smile and reached out to take the hot soup that Meng Qingmei brought from the kitchen.
Meanwhile, the anger and bitterness in Yan Huan's heart had already accumulated to the brim. She felt like she had been deceived; when Xia Lin wasn't around, Ji Chuan's eyes were only on her.
But when he saw Xia Lin, his entire demeanor changed.
And he claims to be a devoted person!
Hmph!
