“Yixuan, I am your Auntie. In the future, I will give you lots of delicious food and I play with you. I will love you just like how your father loves you.”
Maybe it was because of the gentleness in Shen Yijun’s voice or perhaps it was a voice that little girls liked. Nevertheless, Xia Yixuan blinked her eyes in reply.
“Will I be the only one you love? Just like how Daddy does?” she asked Shen Yijun with her arms still hugging tightly around Xia Mingzheng’s neck. Xia Yixuan would give her part of her father if she would only really love her, play with her and make lots of delicious food for her. 2
Shen Yijun was caught in a dilemma. She subconsciously looked at her daughter who stood alone at the side. It wasn’t until she saw the look of displeasure flash on Xia Yixuan’s face that she started to nod her head.
“Yes, I will only love you.” 6
“Mummy.” Xia Rouxin’s mouth trembled from time to time, with her eyes filled with tears. As she helplessly looked at her mother, tears started to streak down her face.
And Shen Yijun really did what she had promised to Xia Youxin. To the eyes of the little girl, she was a marvelous mother who gave everything she wanted at home—she even gave Xia Rouxin’s share.
Shen Yijun carried Xia Yixuan and was feeding her at the dinner table.
“Mummy, I want to eat that.” Xia Yixuan looked at the cupcake in Xia Ruoxin’s bowl, she knew she must have it. She had painstakingly picked it with her chopsticks.
When Shen Yijun heard that the little girl had started to call her mother, she almost was brought to tears. She had finally started to call her mother.
“Xuanxuan, that belongs to your sister. Daddy will pick another one for you, ok?” Xia Mingzheng informed his daughter with a hint of displeasure. 2
“That is fine. An older sister should give in to the younger.” Shen Yijun quickly coaxed Xia Yixuan who was in her arms. She put her hand on top of Xia Mingzheng’s hand and took the cake out of Xia Ruoxin’s bowl. She had intentionally neglected the look of grievance on Xia Ruoxin’s face. 1
Yes. The older sister must give in to the younger one. That was why she had to give her everything, including her own mother. 3
Xia Yixuan only took a bite out of the cupcake and she refused to eat after that.
“Hey… you can have it back.” Xia Yixuan set aside her plate and pushed it to Xia Rouxin’s side of the table. “Aren’t you fond of eating that? Then eat,” she arrogantly said. She was the only princess in the family, Xia Rouxin was basically nothing. 1
Xia Ruoxin lowered her head and looked at the cake that Xia Yixuan had eaten. She bit on her lip and look helplessly at Shen Yijun, “Mummy…”
“Your sister gave you that. So you should eat it.” Shen Yijun purposely ignored the tears in her daughter’s eyes. She continued to feed Xia Yixuan attentively as she sat in her arms. 7
Xia Ruoxin’s head sank even more. She hesitantly took the fork that lied next to her plate and began eating. However, she did not taste the sweetness of the cake, instead, it tasted bitter.
“Mummy, I don’t want to eat. I really don’t feel like eating anymore.”
But she still kept on eating because her sister had wanted her to eat.
“I don’t want them to draw blood,” cried out Xia Yixuan while they were at the hospital. She kept pushing and pulling against Xia Mingzheng’s body, struggling her way out of his grasp. Her father ached to see her princess like that.
“Xuanxuan, listen to daddy. It will not hurt. We just need to draw a little bit of your blood.”
“No! No! I don’t want!” Xia Yixuan would not stop crying. There was nothing that the doctor could do.
Xia Ruoxin, who was present at that moment, glanced over to the doctor’s hand. She swore she saw a thick syringe, she couldn’t help but shudder. 1
It would be painful to be pierced with that.
