He figured, most children love to eat and can't resist sweets. If Jiang Xia wanted candies or toys that children love, perhaps Liu Xing could actually indulge her.

If Jiang Xia really wanted some, he could bear the pain of parting with a few of them.
Liu Xing had already put his hand into his pocket, searching for candies.
