"Mom." The little girl Niuniu saw the warmth in Zhou He's eyes and immediately grabbed Xu Nianhua's hand and called out.
Zhou He looked at Niuniu in shock, then glanced at Xu Nianhua.
Xu Nianhua cleared her throat and explained why Niuniu called her "Mom."
Pei Yicheng walked in with a tray of fruit, unable to hold back a smile. Nianhua had already explained this little girl's situation so many times.
"Nianhua, I think Niuniu is really close to you." Pei Yicheng genuinely didn't mind raising another little girl, as long as she could make Nianhua happy.
"No matter how close she is, she can't be closer than to her real parents." Xu Nianhua said, exasperated. She was always hoping Niuniu would find her dad and mom; after all, no matter how well they treated her, it couldn't compare to her own parents, right?
"Mom." Niuniu held on to Xu Nianhua's hand, her expression as if she was saying: You are my mom.
