Ruan Tang was clearly stunned.
Her face flushed red as she glared at Xu Lai. This must be his idea, she thought. Otherwise, why would our daughter suddenly want a little sister?
Xu Lai was speechless. He was truly an innocent bystander.
However, he couldn't help but retort with a smirk, "Lady Ruan, don't make promises to a child that you can't keep."
Damn it! Ruan Tang was incredibly frustrated. Xu Lai was actually using her own words from yesterday against her.
"Yiyi, would a different gift be okay?" Ruan Tang bit her cherry lip, speaking softly. "This gift… it will take a very, very long time. I can't give it to you in three days."
Xu Yiyi shook her little head. "Mommy, I can wait."
Ruan Tang was at a loss for words, completely out of options.
Her younger sister, Ruan Lan, loved watching drama unfold and wasn't afraid to stir the pot. She tutted, "My dear niece, I'll make the promise on your mom's behalf. If she won't give you one, I will!"
Ruan Tang was dumbfounded.
