Gratitude

Nuo nodded her head in understanding. "I not twip!"

Jinhai dotingly smiled. "En."

But he still didn't leave her hand. Little Nuo was impatient. "Dada. I go to Siying!"

His mouth twitched. "You don't have to. You wish him from here. This is a good distance."

Suddenly, he felt a smack on his head, and he stiffened. He turned and saw his wife glaring at him, putting her hand on her waist. 

"What are you doing, Jinhai?"

"Not letting my precious daughter go near a strange boy."

"Siying is not a stranger to us! Don't be rude!"

"Nana!"

Xinyi and Zhiyuan came to their side as they saw the Liu family gather around Siying. Nana brightened in joy. "Xinyi."

They hugged and squealed in happiness.

"Thank you, Nana. I am so glad you could come."

"Of course, I will. It's Siying's birthday, after all."
