Adopting a Daughter?

With a casual wave of his hand, Wang Xiao caused the ice cream cart to vanish into thin air, leaving behind only Zhenxi clutching her two ice cream cones.

A troubled expression clouded her youthful face as she absorbed the sudden change in her environment.

His approach to discipline was unconventional.

Zhenxi's eyes, large and luminescent, blinked slowly, her gaze shifting between the ice cream cones cradled in her tiny hands.

A moment of hesitation danced across her features, her lips parting slightly as if to speak, yet no words came.

Finally, with a tentative grace, she extended her right hand, offering the vanilla cone to Wang Xiao—an act of sharing, her small face a canvas of sincerity and hope.
