Xuxu could feel the atmosphere getting strained, so she patted Su Yue's hand gently. "Alright. There is no point in studying so much as well. If he continues with his Ph.D. and work at the same time, he wouldn't have time for you and Xiaojiao."
"That's true." Su Yue nodded and her heart was aching. "He is really busy for the past year, and he kept losing weight no matter how much he ate. He's tired both mentally and physically."
The expression in Xuxu's eyes flickered, and she steered the conversation. "Why isn't Zhou Shuang here with Xiaojiao?"
She glanced at the door.
A towering figure walked in at that moment with the little girl.
Xuxu rose with a bright smile. She lifted the train of her gown and quickly strode to the little girl. "Xiaojiao!"
"Call her Xuxu," Yan Rusheng instructed Xiaojiao with a sly gleam in his eyes.
Xuxu threw a disapproving glare at him before turning to Xiaojiao. "Don't listen to Uncle. Call me Aunt."
