"Youjie..."

"What is it?"

"Go ahead and carry it obediently!"

The mother in front of him, who seemed to have no affection for children, was named Luo Meihong, and the slightly weak-looking boy was named Xu Youjie.

"Mother..."

Although Youjie looked pitiful, Luo Meihong remained unmoved.

Instead, in a stern tone, she said, "How can you not endure a little hardship? Is it too heavy?!"

Luo Meihong had a fierce expression, causing Youjie to lower his head. He knew that if he were to confront his mother, he wouldn't have a good outcome.

So he sighed and carried the heavy promotional products he bought from the supermarket.

"You're such a good child, my mommy's good child," Luo Meihong said with a joyful smile, while Youjie's face showed displeasure.

"Mommy, mommy, where did you go?"

At that moment, a crying little girl appeared in front of them.

"Most likely, the little girl got separated from her parents," Luo Meihong muttered.

In his mind, Xu Youjie wondered, "Can I help her?"

In this brief moment of contemplation, a malicious man walked over, pretending to be friendly, and said, "Little girl, I'll take you to find your mommy, how about that?"

The little girl took a step back when she saw his face.

"I'm not a bad person, I know where your mommy is," he said.

"You're a bad person!"

"I'm not a bad person..."

"Xi won't go with you to find Xi's mommy."

"That's not up to you," he dropped the facade, revealing his wolf-like nature and forcefully grabbed the little girl's hand, attempting to take her away. But the little girl resisted with all her might, which was no match for an adult.

"Don't make a sound, or I'll cut off your tongue."

Faced with the man's ferocious face, the little girl was frightened. When the man realized that the little girl had stopped struggling, he tried to take her away quickly.

However, as he took a step forward, he was met with a punch to the face, causing him to see stars and fall to the ground.

"Who the hell?!" the man cursed.

But then there was another scream, and the man was grabbed and thrown to the ground.

Luo Meihong clapped her hands. "Daring to kidnap children, you've got quite the nerve."

"Who's meddling in other people's business..." Even while lying on the ground, the man remained arrogant.

"Seems like you haven't suffered enough," Luo Meihong performed a cross lock on the man, and immediately his face turned purple. Then, he begged for mercy, and when Luo Meihong let go, he ran away, disappearing without a trace.

"He got away before we could send him to the police station. He's fast," Luo Meihong said, looking in the direction the man had fled. Then, she remembered the little girl, turned around, and asked with concern, "Are you okay? Did you get hurt anywhere?"

The little girl shook her head.

"Did you get separated from your mommy?"

The little girl nodded.

"Where did you get separated?"

"Xi doesn't know..."

"Do you know your home address?"

"Xi doesn't know."

"Contact number?"

"Xi doesn't know."

Faced with a little girl who didn't know anything, Luo Meihong was faced with a dilemma.

"I have no choice... I can only wait here," Xu Youjie said as she found a more prominent spot to sit down. She had been witness to everything that had happened and was amazed by the power of her mother. At the same time, she felt relieved that the girl had been successfully saved.

"Youjie, what are you staring at? Quickly take out the food," Xu Youjie's mother, Luo Meihong, said.

"Oh... alright," Youjie took out the bread she had bought.

Luo Meihong smiled and said, "It might take a while for your mother to find you, so you shouldn't go hungry."

The little girl seemed hesitant.

"I'm not a bad person, this kid can testify," Luo Meihong said.

"Why are you dragging me into this again..." Youjie was about to explode.

When Youjie saw the little girl glance at her, she unexpectedly blushed. It seemed that she felt the other party had no ill intentions, so the little girl started eating.

"Eat slowly," Luo Meihong looked at the little girl with affection in her eyes. "I wish I had a daughter."

...

"Youjie... go buy some water!" Luo Meihong commanded.

"Mother, you're ordering me again..."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Whether or not Youjie was an annoyance, in any case, Luo Meihong urged Youjie to buy water. Youjie felt some resentment, but there was nothing she could do. It felt like the treatment of boys and girls was just not the same.

"Youjie, what's your name?" Luo Meihong asked.

The little girl slowly said her name, "Yu Xi."

"What a beautiful name," Luo Meihong commented.

"How old are you?"

"Four years old..."

"Auntie has an idea, I don't know if you're willing to listen," Luo Meihong said.

"What is it?"

"My child is very average-looking, and I'm really worried that he'll be single in the future. How about you become my son's wife?"

"... " Yu Xi blushed.

"Do you not like him?"

"I... I don't."

"What about your thoughts?"

"Well..."
