"Uh..." Xi Bao hesitated, tilted her head to think for a moment, and asked, "Do you have candied hawthorn, chestnut pastry, tiramisu, mango pomelo sago...?"

"Yes, yes, Auntie will buy you anything you like to eat, and I promise you can eat your fill." Si Lili was secretly delighted and nodded repeatedly.

Xi Bao then asked, "Will you buy me all these dolls like Ultraman, Lloyd, Jay, Kai, and Nia?"

"Buy, I must buy! I'll buy all the dolls you like!" Si Lili said with a determined look on her face, waving her hand with boundless pride.

As long as Xibao agrees to let her kiss his little face, she will buy him whatever he wants.

Since the money was all her brother's, she didn't care at all.

Xi Bao was a little conflicted, biting her lip, her mind racing with conflicting thoughts.

Just when Si Lili felt she had the victory in her grasp, the little guy in front of her kept shaking his head.

"Auntie, don't even think about making me change my mind. I won't bow down to you for these things."

Xi Bao secretly made up his mind that no matter how delicious or fun the food or the toy he longed for was, he would resolutely tell himself that he would never sell his body because of a momentary craving or playfulness.

Otherwise, if the girl who likes him finds out later, she'll be heartbroken.

He's a heartthrob, so he has to maintain his image and dignity.

"Ah!" Si Lili couldn't help but let out a long sigh, her face full of helplessness and exhaustion. "My nephew is really too difficult to deal with!"

As she spoke, she let her arms hang limply, looking utterly dejected, like a punctured balloon.

His once straight back was now slightly bent, as if he was under tremendous pressure.

His dejected appearance evoked pity in people.

Hearing Si Lili's long howl, Su Niannian looked at her dejected expression and gave her a comforting look with sympathy.

She comforted him, saying, "Honey, don't be too sad. You'll gradually find that your nephew is even harder to talk to than your brother."

Seriously, even though Xi Bao is her biological son, she has experienced what Si Lili is feeling more than once.

She truly admired no one but Si Lijue in this life. If it weren't for his genes, she wouldn't have been able to give birth to a child with such strong principles.

"I'm completely defeated, sob sob sob~ Niannian, I'm so sad, I was actually defeated by a child who's not even five years old, I'm so ashamed to face anyone!" Si Lili hugged Su Niannian's arm and complained about her grievances.

"Childish!" Xi Bao shook her head, coldly uttering those two words. Not wanting to watch her aunt act cute anymore, she turned around and continued walking forward.

Si Lili and Su Niannian were worried about Xibao walking ahead alone, so they hurriedly followed.

Si Lili was disliked by her own nephew and was on the verge of tears. She walked away complaining all the while.

“Niannian, look at your son, how come he doesn’t look like you at all? He inherited all of my brother’s genes, he’s cunning, ruthless, and hard to talk to.”

Su Niannian gently patted Si Lili's arm and stepped in to smooth things over, "Alright, whether it's good or bad, it's all your Si family's genes, you'll get used to it."

"Sons resemble their fathers, and daughters should resemble their mothers, right?" Si Lili seemed to have figured something out and tempted her best friend beside her: "Niannian, why don't you and my brother give me a little niece as soon as possible!"

By then, my little niece will surely be just as well-behaved, adorable, sensible, and considerate as you.

Su Niannian looked at Si Lili with a gleam in her eyes and smiled at her, saying, "I think the best choice for you is to find a boyfriend and get married as soon as possible, and have a little girl next year."

Si Lili shook her head like a rattle drum, her face full of sorrow, and said mournfully, "The fortune teller said that I am destined to be a lonely widow in this life and that it is impossible for me to get married and have children."

Therefore, I still place my hopes on you and my older brother.

Seeing this, Su Niannian couldn't help but gently scold, "You're so young, how can you believe such nonsense?"

Those so-called fortune tellers are nothing but charlatans; their words are baseless superstitions and should not be believed. Don't be fooled!

Then, Su Niannian gently took Si Lili's hand, looked at her with a playful and tender gaze, and continued to comfort her: "If you really want to find a suitable partner, with your stunning beauty and your distinguished family background, you will definitely be able to find a perfect husband."

“Sigh…” Si Lili didn’t take it seriously, and let out a long sigh, her eyes full of helplessness and despair. “It’s not as easy as you say. I’ve had people I liked all these years, but we just couldn’t get along.”

Si Lili was also very frustrated about finding a boyfriend. From high school to college, and then to graduating and starting work, she liked at least seven or eight men, if not more than ten.

But every time, just as things started to look promising, the man would unconditionally back out or start dating other girls.

She didn't even have the chance to confess her feelings, let alone date anyone.

Over time, Si Lili's self-confidence suffered, and she had no choice but to follow others' example, praying to Buddha for marriage and consulting fortune tellers to change her fate, but all these years, it didn't help much.

Su Niannian held Si Lili's hand tightly, as if this could give her encouragement and support.

She smiled and said, "That just means your destined one hasn't found you yet. Lili, don't be discouraged, maybe that person is looking for you everywhere!"

Xi Bao, who was walking ahead and eating candied hawthorns, couldn't help but stop when she heard her mother and aunt talking. She turned around, stared intently into Si Lili's eyes, and chimed in.

"Auntie, it's better to believe in ghosts than to believe the words of a fortune teller!"

Then, he patted his not-so-broad chest with his chubby little hands and said earnestly to his beautiful aunt in front of him, "Auntie, please don't be sad. Even if you can't find a partner, you still have me! I will always be by your side and won't let you be lonely for the rest of your life!"

And don't worry! I'll definitely find you a handsome, rich, and good-natured uncle!

Hearing her nephew's heartfelt and sincere words, Si Lili was deeply moved and almost burst into tears.

Although she knew that children's words were innocent and shouldn't be taken seriously, she didn't want to expose Xi Bao in person and disappoint him; she just wanted to cooperate with his act.

So she sniffed, smiled and nodded, "Okay, Auntie is pinning her hopes on you. You must remember to help me find a boyfriend!"

"Yes, yes, I will definitely keep an eye out for you." Xi Bao nodded vigorously.

Su Niannian watched as Xibao comforted Si Lili, and didn't stop them, just smiling at the aunt and niece.

Maybe if Xibao spends more time with Sili, she'll be happier.
