She put Rainy down, took her little hand, and pointed at the numerous cakes in the display counter as she asked.
"Which one do you like?"
Rainy bit on her thumb. She stood on her toes and pointed to the smallest one in the counter. A smile lit her face like a flower in full bloom.
"Mommy, I want this."
She thought the smallest cake was the cheapest. It wasn't easy for her mother to earn money. She couldn't spend all her mother's hard-earned money.
"Okay, let's take this one." Xia Ruoxin went to the counter and ordered the small cake. However, she didn't tell her daughter the smallest one was actually the most expensive one, too.
Once they bought the cake, she placed it in her daughter's hand. Then, she tickled Rainy's face. "Come. Let's go home. The house is warmer so it won't be cold."
"Okay." Rainy held her cake tightly. She reached out with a little hand and tugged at the corner of Xia Ruoxin's blouse. "Mommy, I can walk on my own."
