Xiaoli saw that it was getting late. She got up from the sofa and said to Yan Ruoxi, "Mom, it's getting late. I should be heading back!"
"Xi'er, this is your home. Where else would you go?"
Yan Ruoxi held Xiaoli's hand, not letting her leave, "Stay the night! You're not allowed to go anywhere else!"
"Mom!"
Xiaoli gripped Yan Ruoxi's hand tightly and said sincerely, "I came over today, not expecting to really find my family. I haven't explained anything yet. Even though my adoptive parents weren't the best to me, they did raise me for over twenty years. I can't just disappear like that. I need to go back and say goodbye to them."
She leaned her head on Yan Ruoxi's shoulder, acting spoiled, "Mom, please let me return for a few days to sort out my matters, okay?"
"This... is true!"
Yan Ruoxi nodded and said, "Xi'er is such a good child! I'll give you two days to handle everything, and then you must come back immediately, okay?"
