"This is my sister! Meet Heather, and this is her husband, Li Sinian."
"Hello, ma'am," Heather greeted politely.
"Hello, ma'am," Li Sinian echoed.
"Why are you calling me ma'am!" Mum greeted them warmly, "Why be so distant? You're about the same age as Liancheng and Qianxun, just call me Aunt based on seniority!"
"Aunt," Heather quickly corrected herself.
After saying it, she noticed Li Sinian hadn't responded, so she nudged him with a smile, prompting him to greet her.
"Aunt," Li Sinian said, expressionless but compliant.
Qianxun gave a dry laugh.
It was indeed difficult for Li Sinian. Unlike Gu Liancheng, at least he has a mother, while both Li Sinian and Heather are orphans. They grew up in those organizations, having only a godfather, who was their previous leader but passed away over a decade ago. Before meeting Heather, he was always alone.
He has no relatives, so suddenly calling someone 'Aunt' really puts him in a tough spot, doesn't it?
