Chapter 2643: Chapter 2643: The Way He Looks at a Pet
When she saw her, Jian Yufei was clearly stunned.
From that expression, it was obvious she knew the little girl.
The little girl instantly grew guarded all over, her deer-like eyes flickering uneasily, and she kept glancing at Ansel from time to time.
"Mommy, this is Xiaokui, the little sister I picked up at the amusement park that day. What, do you know her?" Ansel, always sensitive, asked curiously.
Jian Yufei came back to herself. "Her name is Xiaokui?"
"That’s just the name I gave her. She doesn’t have a name of her own."
Ansel waved at Xiaokui with a smile. "Xiaokui, come here. This is my mommy, she’s a really good person."
Xiaokui didn’t dare come closer, still full of wariness toward Jian Yufei.
Jian Yufei took the initiative to walk up to her. She squatted down and asked with a smile, "Child, where are your mom and dad? Did you get separated from your family?"
Xiaokui shook her head, her small mouth pressed tightly shut.
"Do you not have a mom and dad, or what is it?"
She still shook her head; it was like you couldn’t get a single clear answer out of her.
Ansel stepped forward and said, "Mommy, don’t ask. Xiaokui won’t say anything."
He’d gone to a lot of trouble trying to find out about her family back then, but she just wouldn’t answer, unwilling to say anything at all.
Jian Yufei was a little surprised. Xiaokui had to be five years old already; how could she know nothing?
She clearly just didn’t want to talk.
But why didn’t she want to?
"Do you have anyone else at home? Auntie can help you contact them and reunite you with your family."
This time Xiaokui shook her head so hard it looked like a rattle-drum, and the look in her eyes grew even more uneasy.
Were they going to drive her away?
Jian Yufei smiled and patted her shoulder lightly. "Since you don’t have any family, then live with us. Your two big brothers just happen to need a companion; you can be their little sister."
"My mommy’s right. Xiaokui, from now on you’ll be mine and Junqi’s little sister." Ansel said happily.
He loved taking care of little kids the most. From now on, he could not only take care of Junqi, but also look after a little sister.
Jian Yufei had a strange illusion—why did Ansel look at Xiaokui a little like he was looking at a pet?
Surely the kid wasn’t that twisted, liking to treat people like pets.
Jian Yufei felt she was overthinking it.
Ansel and Junqi had come back. Other than Ruan Tianling not being there, their family could be considered reunited.
Dinner was very sumptuous.
With two children—no, three children around, the oppressive, gloomy air that had hung over the Ruan Family for days was eased quite a bit.
After Jian Yufei finished eating, she went to take care of the two children.
This small villa didn’t have many rooms.
Ansel and Junqi shared a room, and Xiaokui had a small room to herself.
Naturally, Jian Yufei went to look after her own two children, leaving Xiaokui to the care of a maid.
The Ruan Family certainly couldn’t afford maids now; the ones here were all provided by the Li Family.
Jian Yufei helped them take a bath and put on their pajamas.
The two children were especially clingy to her today. Ansel pestered her to tell them a story, and Junqi was also eager to listen.
Jian Yufei casually told them a story, and they listened with great interest.
She pulled the covers up over them. "Alright, you two get some rest. Mommy’s going to rest too."
Ansel said with a sweet smile, "Mommy, good night."
Jian Yufei lowered her head and kissed his forehead. "Good night."
Junqi suddenly turned over and sat up, sticking out his pinky at her. "Mommy, pinky swear."
Jian Yufei: "..."
"Pinky swear." Junqi stared at her stubbornly.
