Xi Bao shook her little head like a rattle drum, and said honestly, "No, no, I'm a little man. It's our job to do the rough and tiring work of carrying things. How can you girls do it? That's too ungentlemanly."
Seeing that her son insisted on carrying it himself, Su Niannian didn't force him and smiled, saying, "Okay! Remember to tell Mom when you need help! Don't try to carry it all by yourself."
"Okay, I understand." Xi Bao nodded obediently in agreement.
Xi Bao walked ahead, while Su Niannian and Si Lili followed behind. The three of them left the children's clothing store together.
As the VIPs left, the staff in the children's clothing store began to whisper among themselves.
"Who are these people? They look really rich."
"The only people in Kyoto, and even in the whole of China, who can afford to use this kind of black gold card are the Si family, the richest family in the country."
"Are even members of the four great families of Kyoto not qualified to use it?"
"That's for sure. Although the Tang, Qin, Jiang, and Gu families are the four great families of Kyoto, their wealth and power are far from enough to qualify them to use this black gold card."
"Why is this black gold card so powerful? Even the four great families of Kyoto are not qualified to use it."
"Although the black gold card this young master has is only a supplementary card, its main card is a limited edition worldwide, with no more than ten in total. Just think about what it means to have no more than ten in the world."
"My God! This card is so powerful! I wonder what the relationship is between this young master and the Si family, the richest family in the country? We've never heard of President Si being married or having children."
"Who knows? How could we, the nobody who's been through so much in society, possibly know about the affairs of the wealthy and powerful?"
"These rich people are so extravagant. They spend tens of thousands of dollars on a gift for a little kid without batting an eye. That's a year's salary for me!"
"That's right. It's a pity that this young prince is too young. If he were an adult, I would definitely pursue him without hesitation. He's handsome and rich, and I don't know how many women he would charm in the future!"
"Haha~ Then you definitely won't have a chance. By the time he grows up, you'll be old, and he'll be even less interested in you."
"If you ask me, you might have a chance if you went after his father."
"What are you saying? Don't you see how beautiful and elegant the young master's mother is? How could I dare to steal his father?"
......
The people inside the children's clothing store were chatting enthusiastically, while the three people walking outside seemed rather lonely, creating a stark contrast.
Xi Bao was unaware that her behavior had just caused a stir among the people in the children's clothing store. She simply lifted her little dress and walked down the street without saying a word, a smile on her face.
At this moment, his mind was filled with the smiling face of the girl next door to his grandmother's house, the surprise and delight on her face when she saw the gift he bought for her, and her sweet smile as she looked at him.
She looked absolutely beautiful in the little dress he bought her, like a butterfly fluttering on the grass.
Si Lili remained silent, following Xi Bao blankly.
Right now, she was heartbroken and racking her brains trying to figure out how to go home and ask her father and brother for an unlimited credit card. She had no time to think about anything else.
Su Niannian looked at this and then at that, completely bewildered, wondering what the aunt and niece were thinking.
After the three of them had walked a distance, Su Niannian noticed that Si Lili's expression was getting increasingly off, and couldn't help but ask with concern, "Lili, are you alright? Are you feeling unwell? You look so pale."
"I'm fine," Si Lili replied absentmindedly.
Su Niannian, still worried, asked again, "Is something on your mind?"
“No,” Si Lili replied immediately.
Xi Bao, who was walking ahead, overheard her mother and aunt's conversation and deliberately slowed down.
Then, he tilted his little head, blinked his big eyes, and looked at Si Lili with a mischievous expression.
A moment later, he said with a grin, "Auntie, are you jealous because I bought a dress for the older girl but not for you?"
"What a joke, I wouldn't be jealous of a little girl." Si Lili looked disdainful, not taking the young lady Xi Bao mentioned seriously at all.
"If you're not jealous, then why are you unhappy?" Xi Bao frowned slightly, pondering what could make Si Lili unhappy.
Si Lili pursed her lips tightly, looking at Xi Bao with a stubborn and determined gaze, and said defiantly, "How could I be unhappy? I'm very happy!"
Xi Bao, standing to the side, stared at Si Lili with a suspicious look and mercilessly exposed her, saying, "Auntie, you're lying. You're clearly unhappy, don't think I can't see it!" As she spoke, she mischievously made a face at Si Lili.
Si Lili's face flushed red instantly after Xi Bao pointed it out.
She gritted her teeth, wanting to retort, but swallowed the words back.
Just then, Xi Bao suddenly seemed to remember something important. Her eyes lit up, and she exclaimed loudly as if she had just realized something: "Oh! I know! You must feel uncomfortable because you see that I am richer than you, and you can't save face, right?"
Oh dear, Auntie, you really are something else. You can't take money with you when you're born or when you die, so why care so much about it?
The most important thing is for us to live happily!
"Come on, come on, tell me what you want to buy, what you want to eat, I'll buy it for you."
After saying that, Xi Bao proudly grabbed Si Lili's arm and strode forward.
She had only taken a couple of steps when she turned back and called to Su Niannian behind her, "Mom, hurry up! I'm going to give you and Auntie a pretty dress each. You can't refuse!"
Seeing that Si Lili's expression was no longer as unpleasant as before, Su Niannian realized that Xibao had seen through her little scheme.
However, she didn't intend to expose them, nor did she want to spoil everyone's fun, so she replied with a smile, "Okay! Whatever you say." As she spoke, she quickened her pace to catch up with Xibao and Silili.
Si Lili was helplessly pulled by her nephew's sleeve and forced to walk forward quickly.
She was feeling quite annoyed, but when Xibao's sweet, childlike voice reached her ears, it was like a spring breeze brushing against her heart, instantly making her feel much better.
This little guy is very clever despite his young age!
Not only is he clever and quick-witted, but he also has a generous and proper demeanor, which is much better than his dull father and serious and rigid grandfather!
When she was in a bad mood, this little rascal even knew to buy her dresses to cheer her up?
This sentiment is truly rare; it seems that her usual affection for him has not been in vain.
He was still her beloved eldest nephew!
