Xinyi said, "Oh but I should inform your Mama first before taking you to my room. Otherwise, she will get worried."
The mention of her mother tensed up Chyou. Her shoulders drooped and she sadly looked down.
"It's okay not to tell Mama."
Xinyi smiled. "That's what you think but as your mother, she will surely be concerned for you. Let's find her and I will ask her permission."
Chyou imagined Caihong flipping out again and her small fingers clutched onto Xinyi's hand. Her soft voice was strained and fearful. "Aunt please... i-it is really okay. Mama will not…"
She wanted to say that Caihong wouldn't care at all, but she felt embarrassed to say it.
If Aunty knows that Mama doesn't care about me then she will think that I am a bad girl. That is why Mama doesn't love me. Then-then Aunty will hate me too...
Xinyi didn't understand why the little girl seemed so sad at her mother's mention.
Perhaps her mother scolded her or something…
