Her second maternal aunt’s angry expression made her look like an agitated kitten. Xiaosuisui giggled, glanced at her, then ignored her and turned to Xie Pan’Er. "Pretty Sister, stop crying! Xiaosuisui will wipe away Pretty Sister’s tears!" Her gesture of wiping Xie Pan’Er’s tears, along with the sweet, childlike words she spoke, left everyone slightly stunned. "Oh, this child! I really don’t know what to say about her!" Old Madam Ji was utterly exasperated and sighed softly. The unyielding aura about her granddaughter was truly growing stronger and stronger. The Ji Family might not be able to keep her! "Why is Pretty Sister crying?" New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮※𝓷𝓮𝓽 Xie Pan’Er shook her head. "It’s nothing much. It’s just that the Princess suddenly disappeared. I got worried, so I started crying." Upon hearing this, Xiaosuisui suddenly felt a pang of unease in her heart. Her little face fell; it was an expression of self-reproach for having done something wrong. Seeing her , Xie Pan’Er knew Xiaosuisui understood that her actions had caused trouble for others and felt bad about it. So, she quickly seized the opportunity—striking while the iron was hot—to speak to her. "Xiaosuisui, promise me you won’t run off on your own anymore, okay? If you want to go somewhere, or if anything happens, you must at least tell us. If you don’t say anything, we won’t know where you are, and we’ll get very worried!" Xiaosuisui inexplicably felt a wave of warmth on her face. This felt like the regret and shame one experiences after doing something wrong! "I understand! Pretty Sister, please don’t be angry. I won’t dare to do it again," Xiaosuisui quietly promised. Xie Pan’Er reached out and stroked her small head. She had initially wanted to say that a child who knows how to correct their mistakes is still a good child! But then she remembered how audacious this child was, so she deliberately put on a stern face to reprimand her. "You said it yourself! You won’t do this anymore. But what if there’s a next time?" Xiaosuisui quickly said, "Then I’ll accept whatever Pretty Sister decides?" She’ll accept whatever I decide? I need to think carefully about this then. Xie Pan’Er looked at Xiaosuisui’s big eyes, her expression solemn. "If this happens again, you won’t get a share of any delicious food." Thinking about the little girl’s favorite things, there seemed to be quite a few, but eating was what she loved most. "Ah... Pretty Sister, can you change it to something else?" Xie Pan’Er resolutely shook her head. "No change!" After speaking, she glared at Xiaosuisui. "Does this mean you still plan to do it again in the future?" Xiaosuisui quickly shook her head. "No, no!" "If you don’t intend to do it again, why are you trying to bargain with me?" The others following behind them: ... Indeed, this was a classic case of one person having another’s number. When Xiaosuisui blinked her eyes at them and said just about anything, they couldn’t hold out. None of them could bear to punish her or even say a harsh word to her! Only Xie Pan’Er had the heart to scold her a little and lay down the rules. And Xiaosuisui, it seemed, listened to Xie Pan’Er very well! The group finally arrived at Zhiwei Restaurant. The old shopkeeper spotted them from afar and hurried over to greet them. "Old Madam, Princess, Third Miss... you’re finally here!" The old shopkeeper quickly bowed in greeting and led them inside. "There’s an esteemed guest waiting for you in the Private Room upstairs. She has been waiting for over an hour now." An esteemed guest was waiting for them in the Private Room? Everyone was quite puzzled. In Capital City, there were many who could be called esteemed. However, there seemed to be very few more esteemed than their Ji Family! "An esteemed guest?" Old Madam Ji asked in confusion. "Yes, Steward Liu personally drove her here. She’s waiting in the Private Room upstairs!" the old shopkeeper quickly said, then led them towards the Private Room upstairs. Inside the Private Room, Nanny Xiao was anxiously pacing in circles. It was already past noon; why hadn’t the Princess arrived yet? Could something have happened?
