"So..." Tang Yuxin raised an eyebrow, "Are you going to take me in as your goddaughter, or as a sister?"
"No," Ren Li shook her head, speaking earnestly, "I want to be your stepmother."
Tang Yuxin was taken aback. She hadn't expected the straightforwardness from Ren Li, and was left speechless.
"My name is Ren Li," she repeated her name, "My real name." She emphasized, "I have a reputable background, divorced and childless. My husband left for another woman he had been seeing. I couldn't cope, so I ran off to this small place." She stood up, leaned against the window, and felt the cool wind blowing from outside, making her feel more awake.
