Shanshan held a chicken wing in her left hand and a cola in her right, her cheeks puffed out as she ate with gusto.
Qin Qiu patted her little head. "Eat slowly, don't choke."
"Mmhmm." Shanshan nodded, obediently slowing down.
After finishing her food, she patted her round little belly and said with a smile, "Auntie Qin Qiu, you're so pretty!"
"Oh, you! When you grow up, you'll be even prettier than your auntie is." Qin Qiu scooped Shanshan into her arms, the genuine affection for the little girl evident on her face.
Standing to the side, Chen Yang beamed, his previous worries completely swept away. He had only intended to visit Shanshan, but it was Qin Qiu who had taken the initiative and asked to adopt her.
