I sat on the sofa, seriously saying, "Little sisters are so adorable. Look how cute Xiao Chu is. I want Mom to have a little sister just like Xiao Chu."
"Really?" Jiang Buchen smiled softly at me, "Do you really just think sisters are cute, and that's why you want your big sister to have one?"
I nodded hard.
But Jiang Buchen shook his head.
"But that's not what Little Uncle thinks."
"Why?"
"You want a sister because you feel too lonely, right?" Jiang Buchen's thin glasses reflected a flash of wisdom, "I know, your sister and brother-in-law are very busy, and they have very little time to spend with you each week. You see other children your age with their parents and envy them."
"So you think, if your sister gets pregnant, she definitely won't be as busy, and your brother-in-law will make time for her, giving you more time together, right?"
My back went numb.
Little Uncle is indeed perceptive.
He saw through my true motives at a glance!
