Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: I Am Their Aunt

The children at the kids' table were all dressed like little young masters and princesses, sitting together.

Only Little Su Hua and Little Su Luo's pink and blue down jackets stood out, but the children didn't notice these things.

The siblings looked at the food on the table in front of them and subconsciously swallowed a gulp.

The food looked really delicious.

But they didn't start eating; instead, they turned their gaze towards their Aunt at the adults' table...

They really wanted to share with their Aunt.

"Why aren't you eating?" a little girl in a white princess dress next to them asked.

At this table, Little Su Hua and Little Su Luo were the youngest here, still little ones who needed adults to take care of them.

A five-year-old boy suddenly laughed and pointed at them.

"I know, they can't use chopsticks to eat yet!"

"Do they need us to feed them?" the other kids said.

The five-year-old boy brushed his face: "Shame, they still need adults to feed them!"

Little Su Luo, provoked, retorted, "Who says we need adults to feed us? We can clearly eat by ourselves!"

Shy Little Su Hua, with her brother's backing, also said, "Yes, we can eat by ourselves, we don't need Aunt to feed us!"

"Then eat by yourselves! Don't just sit here talking big."

"Exactly!"

The girl in the white princess dress stopped them: "Liu Yu, they're still little siblings, you should let them be!"

Liu Yu rolled his eyes at the little girl and said nothing.

"We'll eat!" The two little ones didn't hold back anymore.

Liu Yu saw that they could really eat by themselves, and the rice they spilled was less than his, so he instinctively picked up the grains of rice around his bowl.

The children at this table ate quickly, and many who were already finished ran to their parents' side.

"Mom!"

After finishing his meal, Liu Yu threw himself into his mother's arms.

Zhou Zhu hugged him and laughed, "Really, you're such a big boy, how come you're still so clingy!"

"Zhou Zhu, this is your son, right?" someone said enviously.

Zhou Zhu nodded with a smile, "Yes, you guys haven't met my son, have you? His name is Liu Yu, he's already five years old this year."

Everyone looked at her son and showered him with praise.

"So this is the young master you've been talking about? So handsome!"

"He looks so bright, he's definitely good learning material for the future."

Zhou Zhu, hearing everyone's compliments, felt her vanity swell.

"He's won quite a few awards in kindergarten, his teachers really like him, they always praise him for being capable and call him a diligent little bee in the class."

"Really? So likable at such a young age, he'll definitely charm a lot of little girls when he grows up."

Zhou Zhu couldn't stop smiling, "Pity my husband has been busy working overtime lately, otherwise, I'd have brought him along today too."

"No worries, your husband is a leader in a big company, it's normal for him to be busy."

The two little ones, after finishing their meal, ran over to their Aunt's side.

Su Xingwan saw them approaching, gently tapped their little noses, and said warmly, "Finished so quickly? Did you get full?"

The two little ones nodded "Uh-huh, uh-huh."

"Aunt, aren't we amazing!"

Su Xingwan praised them, "Very amazing!"

The two little ones smiled happily.

Everyone noticed this side with Su Xingwan.

The two little ones hadn't been scrutinized by the adults yet, but when looked at closely now, they appeared plump and adorable, very likable.

Except being a bit skinny, their features were exquisite, like works of art made by a creator, unbelievably beautiful, seemingly favored by heaven.

At the same time, they felt a little suspicious: To give birth to such beautiful children, Su Xingwan's sponsor must be a very handsome man, right???

Otherwise, just based on Su Xingwan's looks alone, she couldn't possibly have given birth to such beautiful little ones.

Everyone was mesmerized looking at the two little ones.

Some adults were so fond of them that they wanted to pinch the fleshy plumpness of the two little ones.

Zhou Zhu saw this and her expression turned slightly sour.

Liu Yu was also unhappy as the adults who had been praising him now turned their attention to those two little brats.

"Su Xingwan, are these twins? The siblings really look alike."

Su Xingwan said cheerfully, "Yes, they're twins."

Actually, they're triplets.

"Wow! They're twins, Su Xingwan, you are really blessed."

"Yeah, how did you even have them? They turned out so beautiful."

Some who were already mothers and some who weren't yet, were all wishing they could have such beautiful children too.

Compared to the somewhat insincere praise earlier for Zhou Zhu and her son, the compliments for Su Xingwan's children seemed much more genuine, with their eyes twinkling with real affection.

Su Xingwan explained, "They're not mine, I'm their Aunt, they're all my sister's children."

Everyone heard this and was stunned.

Not... they aren't her children???

Everyone looked at the two little ones.

Little Su Luo: "We are Aunt's kids!"

Little Su Hua, innocently said: "She's our Aunt, the best Aunt in the world."

Everyone: They really are their Aunt.

So they made a big blunder???

Su Xingwan is not supported by a supposed sponsor at all!!!

A hint of awkwardness appeared on everyone's faces.

They indeed had heard during school days that she had an elder sister who married early and was also a great beauty.

Who on earth spread the rumor in the group that Su Xingwan was supported by a sponsor??? This is ruining the reputation of an unmarried young woman.

However, they remembered something.

But what about her being down and out, her bankruptcy?

The Su Xingwan they once thought they quite knew suddenly became unfamiliar.

The former her had an outgoing personality, wanting everyone to notice her existence, often with a high and mighty demeanor, now she was completely low-key, wishing no one noticed her existence.

One could say the former Su Xingwan was quite disliked, though nobody said it out loud, but in reality, she wasn't favored by people.

She always acted self-righteous, didn't give others face, and was unbearably arrogant, thinking everyone wanted to cling onto her.

But now, Su Xingwan had totally changed.

No one knew what she went through to become like this.

However, this current her was indeed more pleasant, less domineering.

The one who knew her best, Zhang Qiaoqiao, had a trace of doubt in her eyes right now.

Over at the adults' table, they were still catching up, and many added Su Xingwan on WeChat.

Meanwhile, the children were arranged to play at the children's play area that Senior Brother Fang had prepared in advance.

Senior Brother Fang saw that Su Xingwan's gaze was still following her two little ones.

He smiled and said, "Su, rest assured, that place is very safe with special staff looking after them, nothing will happen."

Su Xingwan, hearing this, finally retracted her gaze.

"Mm, thank you, Senior Brother Fang."
