"Alright, alright, we won't bother you any longer. I'll take this boy back with me." She took a few steps and teased, "I say, Mr. Huang, you're not young anymore, and you and the female doctor are so loving. It's time to consider having a child. Your child will surely be both talented and handsome!"
Aunt Li picked up her little rascal and left, leaving behind two people with flushed faces.

Xia Yixin looked away as if she'd been electrocuted, forcing an awkward laugh, "You should just call me Wan'er, calling me 'Madam' sounds weird..."
