Upon entering the room, Tang Xiaoxiao put down the two large shopping bags she was carrying, which were filled with gifts for her sister and niece. There were too many things to move around, and she couldn't very well take them back to her hometown and have Tang Xinxin bring them back, so she picked them out first.

What I gave Tang Xinxin was a complete set of skincare products from a certain brand. Actually, with the facial cleanser mixed with space water that Tang Xiaoxiao had given me before, I didn't need to use any skincare products anymore. But I couldn't tell Tang Xinxin this, because I guess she wouldn't believe me anyway.

Tang Xinxin herself sells clothing, so Tang Xiaoxiao didn't buy her any clothes. Instead, she picked out two pairs of designer shoes for her, which, when paired with the black casual suit that Tang Xinxin had just changed into, created a strong sense of mature elegance.

Tang Xinxin and Tang Xiaoxiao have completely different styles. They look somewhat similar, but their temperaments are vastly different. Moreover, Tang Xinxin is five centimeters taller than Tang Xiaoxiao, standing at 175cm and exuding a powerful aura, like a queen. Tang Xiaoxiao clicked her tongue in admiration, "My sister is just so beautiful."

"What's so beautiful about it? We're all getting old," Tang Xinxin sighed.

"You're not old at all. This is the charm of a mature woman. Besides, if you didn't say it yourself, who would guess you're in your thirties? You look like you're only in your twenties."

This isn't just flattery; Tang Xinxin truly doesn't look her age. A beauty is a beauty. Although she experienced the blow of marriage early and struggled to raise her daughter alone, time has been kind to her. If you don't look at her mature attire, Tang Xinxin now looks like a recent college graduate. No one would believe that she already has a nine-year-old daughter.

As for Tang Xiaoxiao, the real recent college graduate, she looked even younger; people would believe she was a high school student.

“That’s right, Mommy doesn’t age, Mommy is the most beautiful!” Xuanxuan, who was busy unwrapping her gifts, chimed in.

"Is Mommy prettier or Auntie prettier?" Tang Xiaoxiao couldn't resist teasing the little girl again.

"...Mommy and Auntie are both beautiful! Xuanxuan is beautiful too!" Xuanxuan answered in her childish voice with a strong survival instinct, which made the two of them burst into laughter.

Tang Xinxin opened the last gift Tang Xiaoxiao had bought, which was an exquisitely crafted platinum clavicle necklace. Tang Xinxin was about to say that she couldn't accept it because it was too expensive, but Tang Xiaoxiao, sensing her intention, said directly, "I bought two identical ones, one for each of us. I originally wanted to buy matching earrings, but unfortunately you don't have pierced ears."

Seeing that she said that, Tang Xinxin didn't say anything more and readily put on the necklace. Tang Xiaoxiao had a good eye; the necklace, which shimmered with tiny silver lights, made her long, fair neck look sexy and charming.

Xuanxuan had an even bigger haul. Tang Xiaoxiao bought a complete set of Barbie dolls and a huge teddy bear, which the little girl loved and wouldn't let go of. She also got several sets of beautiful comics and brand-new school bags and stationery, almost overflowing her little bed.

After Tang Xinxin finished tidying up, she couldn't help but say to Tang Xiaoxiao, "Just this once, I'll treat you like a big spender. You can't spend money like this in the future. Even if you have money, you shouldn't spend it like this."

"Alright, alright, what's wrong with me buying something for my niece? Why are you nagging even more than Mom?" Tang Xiaoxiao said, feigning impatience.

Sure enough, Tang Xinxin shut up after she adopted that posture. In fact, Tang Xinxin knew perfectly well that Tang Xiaoxiao was saying that to prevent her from overthinking. Her younger sister had grown up and knew how to consider other people's feelings, which made the older sister very gratified.

After packing their things, the three of them went to the supermarket to buy some ingredients that couldn't be found in the town before driving home.

It was already evening when they got home. Tang's parents were both surprised and delighted to see their eldest daughter return with her child. Tang's mother hugged and kissed Xuanxuan repeatedly, calling her "my darling" over and over. Tang Xiaoxiao pretended to be jealous and muttered, "So mushy," which earned her a couple of light slaps from Tang's mother.

Tang Xinxin cooked dinner, with Tang Xiaoxiao assisting, and they prepared a sumptuous feast. Actually, Tang Xiaoxiao herself was quite a good cook. In her previous life, after getting married, her husband was a complete kitchen disaster, so the couple couldn't always eat takeout. Therefore, Tang Xiaoxiao gradually learned to cook and unexpectedly discovered a talent for it, making quite a few dishes. However, Tang Xiaoxiao had never touched a kitchen at home. Her mother doted on her daughter and wouldn't even let her do chores like washing dishes. So now, she could only pretend she knew nothing and do tasks like picking vegetables and passing plates.

The family enjoyed a lively reunion dinner. Tang Xiaoxiao thought to herself that it had been a long time since she had been able to gather with her family so happily. She really hoped that such days could continue forever.
