Aunt? Mother? Grandma?
They all seemed to know her.
And they all used the same nickname – Xiao Ruo.
Even her maternal grandfather would always call her that in a soft, indistinct way at home.
Could I really be Bai Xiaoruo?
"Hello, everyone." Mo Niannian seemed a little reserved, and besides returning their smiles, she didn't know what else to say.
Xuan Zhengsen's gaze remained sharp and serious as he stared intently at Xiao Youyou in Xuan Mingyu's arms. Finally, he glanced at Mo Niannian, who was sitting in the middle of the crowd, and asked, "Who is this little girl?"
Mo Niannian was stunned for a moment. Just as Xuan Mingyu was about to answer, Mo Niannian quickly got up and walked to Xuan Mingyu's side, grabbed his hand to stop him from speaking, picked up Youyou and put her on the ground, "Grandpa, this is Youyou, she is my daughter."

She didn't know how his family would view her or whether they would accept them being together, but Youyou's existence was a fact right in front of her. If they couldn't accept it or were unwilling to give their blessings, she wouldn't back down.
At worst, she would stop bothering Xian Mingyu and take Youyou back to S City to live their quiet life.
