"Uncle... are you still angry with us?"
Yin Bowen heard the unfriendly tone in Yin Shixiu’s voice and quickly asked in a flattering manner.
At such a mont, Su Xiaong wouldn’t randomly interrupt, but when she looked up, her eyes accidentally t Guo Tong’s gaze.
Guo Tong gave her a faint smile, which still carried an air of awkwardness and caution.
It was as if she was very afraid of Su Xiaong, which left Su Xiaong feeling a bit at a loss.
She thought of herself as being kind and amiable, always treating others well...
Even if she had so leverage over her, was it necessary to show such obvious and straightforward fear?
"Xiaong, are you also buying baby products?"
Xiaong responded lightly.
"But this mall is quite far from where you live, isn’t it?"
The implied aning was to inquire why they ca here to shop.
"This place is also quite far from your ho."
Xiaong didn’t answer directly, instead, she casually tossed the question back at them.
Guo Tong’s expression turned awkward, and she bit her lip, seeming a bit frustrated by Su Xiaong’s cold response, but quickly raised her eyebrows and explained,
"Bowen and I have an appointnt with Doctor Jiang for a prenatal check-up at one o’clock, we just happened to pass by here, so we ca to take a look."
One o’clock...
There happened to be a digital clock on the wall of the store, and the hour hand had just passed eleven.
Guo Tong saw the clock as Xiaong did and quickly said,
"I had a craving, so I dragged Bowen to co out early, to have lunch here before going to the hospital, it’s just about the right ti."
Xiaong felt that Guo Tong might really be very concerned about her actions and words.
In fact, Xiaong hadn’t asked anything, yet Guo Tong hurried to explain to her...
Su Xiaong rubbed her forehead, not sure if this kind of concern was a good thing or a bad thing.
"Were you Uncle and Aunt also just finished with a prenatal check-up?"
Yin Bowen asked tentatively.
"Yeah, are you still shopping?"
Yin Shixiu casually asked.
"We..."
"My aunt and I are finishing up here to go check out. Feel free to do as you please."
Yin Shixiu was not particularly polite, pushing the cart and supporting Xiaong as they passed by them.
"Then we’re off."
Xiaong politely and courteously greeted them.
Yin Bowen and Guo Tong respectfully replied,
"Goodbye, Aunt, take care."
After checking out, Yin Shixiu pushed the shopping cart into the elevator, directly going down to the parking lot.
There was no one else in the elevator, and Xiaong couldn’t help but say to Yin Shixiu,
"Even if you don’t care for those two, you should at least be polite... after all, you’re the elder."
"Was I impolite?"
Yin Shixiu looked surprised.
Su Xiaong blinked, "Polite? Your tone was cold and harsh, let translate for you, it was practically telling them to get lost."
Yin Shixiu was indifferent,
"That’s how I am with outsiders, I didn’t give them any special treatnt."
"..."
With just one sentence, Xiaong was choked up and couldn’t respond for a long ti.
————
The two returned ho, with Yin Shixiu carrying all the shopping bags.
As soon as they entered, Shuangshuang and Huanghuang stood at the door eagerly waiting for Su Xiaong and Yin Shixiu.
They had probably called Su’s mother before coming back, telling her about having bought toys for the two little ones, and then Su’s mother told them.
"Daddy and Mommy are back, not even a greeting, those little eyes are just fixed on the toys?"
Su Xiaong sighed and couldn’t help but say.
Who knew that this comnt would be taken to heart by the little girl, and Shuangshuang quickly looked up at Su Xiaong, seriously saying,
"Mom, it’s not!"
Su Xiaong raised an eyebrow, feeling a bit expectant.
Shuangshuang pointed to her own widened eyes, "Shuangshuang big eyes!"
After speaking, she and Prince Huang together grabbed a gift bag that Yin Shixiu was holding.
The little ones were quite sneaky, they weren’t interested in the other gift bags, only targeting the one with the cartoon bear on it.
Their toys were mostly from this brand, and every ti they brought them back, they targeted this shopping bag.
Su’s father still had an apron on, having just co out of the kitchen, and he praised Shuangshuang and Huanghuang for being clever.
But Xiaong said,
"This cleverness is not used in the right place."
Then Su Chengji retorted imdiately,
"You never used it in the right place either?"
"..."
Xiaong was blocked by her father’s words, feeling upset, it was as if having grandchildren ant not needing a daughter anymore!
As they were bickering, the two little ones were already focused on their new toys.
Su’s mother walked over, looking at the toys scattered all over the floor, and sincerely sighed,
"Kids these days, they really are so lucky!"
"Honey, what you said really shows your age!"
