"Then take it off, we'll buy it. You can wear your new clothes to kindergarten tomorrow," Qiao Qianning said.
Lele seemed hesitant to take off the dress but her mother had already swiftly removed it and dressed her in her original clothes.
As the salesperson packed the clothes into a paper bag, Lele immediately excitedly picked up the bag and dutifully waited beside Qianning. Qianning paid for the items and, while leading Lele out by the hand, said, "Lele, shall Mama carry that for you?"
Yet Lele clutched the paper bag close to her chest and wouldn't let her mother take it. Seeing her like this, Qianning could only smile and let her hold it.
When Qianning looked ahead, her steps faltered, becoming somewhat disorganized. That was because, among the crowded pedestrian street and several shopfronts away, a lady was gazing at her Lele.
