Jiang Jinyao and An Lude exchanged a glance and said with a smile, "It's okay. Xingxing is a boy. When he grows up, he will protect Xiangxiang and Xiaonian, and be with Danian."
"I can protect myself!" Xiao Nian said earnestly, her accent slightly tinged with retroflex consonants, but she spoke with great conviction.
“Yes, yes, Xiao Nian is absolutely right.” Jiang Jinyao pulled Jiang Xiao Nian close to her and looked at Xiao Nian’s adorable expression. She sighed, “When I was pregnant, my baby was so quiet.

"We should learn from Xinlan and just talk back directly."
Liu Xinlan was mocked for having only daughters and no sons, so she angrily retorted with medical terminology, and those people didn't dare to mess with her at all.
