"She's forming her own zoo..." Wang Mei whispered under her breath, slightly in awe and helplessness.
Wang Xiao just shrugged, entirely unbothered. "She liked it," he said as if acquiring a baby panda was the simplest thing in the world. "So I got it for her."
Ignoring the stupefied stares from his family, Wang Xiao bent down and scooped up Zhenxi, who giggled happily, the panda cub nestled comfortably in her arms.
She snuggled into his chest, completely oblivious to the chaos that had happened moments earlier.
"Where's her mother?" Wang Xiao asked, his tone casual as though the day had been nothing out of the ordinary.
Xinyue Zhilan blinked, shaking herself free of the shock. "She's inside, waiting…" she said, her voice carrying the slightest edge of uncertainty as she pursed her lips.
The scene from earlier was still fresh in her mind, and she wasn't sure how to process it all just yet.
