Xiangxiang and Xiaoshan shook their heads.
The naive Xiangxiang thought for a moment.
"Aunt, they say my mom ran off with another man, is it true?" Xiangxiang asked with an innocent face. Xiaoshan's little fists clenched instantly.
He hated that man who took his mother away.
If it were not for that man.
His mother would not have left.
Mrs. Zhang stroked Xiangxiang's head, "Come, let Aunt tell you, your mother leaving is not for any other reason, and it wasn't some other man who lured her away, but..."
Mrs. Zhang deliberately held back for effect.
"What is it?" asked Xiangxiang and Xiaoshan in unison.
Mrs. Zhang smiled, leaned close to Xiaoshan and Xiangxiang's ears, and pretended to be secretive, "I'll tell you, but you mustn't repeat it to anyone else."
Xiangxiang and Xiaoshan looked at each other.
Both nodded.
The two children believed her words.
Mrs. Zhang felt secretly pleased.
