Good times always seem to pass quickly. Xu Xiangbei felt like no time had passed before it was already afternoon. Xiao Qiulian and her daughter returned, carrying a ton of things—a big heap of bags full of daily necessities, some vegetables, fruits, and clothes.
As soon as Xiao Ailing put down the bags, she started chatting with Gu Xinyan, while her mother took the groceries to the kitchen to start preparing food.
At this moment, Xu Xiangbei felt a bit out of place and idle. He had nothing to do but tease the two beautiful women, making them burst into laughter. In less than half an hour, a delicious aroma wafted from the kitchen. Xiao Qiulian was adept in the kitchen and equally presentable in the living room; she was also rather beautiful. Otherwise, how could she have given birth to such a pretty daughter like Xiao Ailing? It's hard to understand why her husband left her back then, saddling her with a mountain of debt, making life so difficult for her.
