Jinrong without any reservation treated himself as part of the family, nudging Jiang Yifan aside to come closer: "Ah Xiu, it's been over a month since we last met. Come, let your godfather hold you and see if you've grown."
Not only did Jinrong push Jiang Yifan aside, but Ye Xinyan also helplessly stepped away to make room for this fellow.
Perhaps Ah Xiu wasn't at the age where she recognized strangers, or maybe she had some impression of this self-proclaimed godfather. Her bright eyes looked at the approaching Jinrong, and she reached her small hands towards him while babbling loudly.
Jinrong immediately beamed with joy, bent down to pick up Ah Xiu, and teased her, saying, "Look at our Ah Xiu, how clever she is. She recognizes her godfather, doesn't she? We two are destined to be close, Ah Xiu is so happy to see her godfather." He gestured to Jiang Yifan and Ye Xinyan, "You two, go and sit down, let's chat while seated."
