Thus, Fang Lilan said affectionately, "Xinxin, you have to believe me. Mom really has your reputation in mind. How could I possibly bear to lock you up? Aren't I right here accompanying you?"
She patted the back of Fang Xinxin's hand. "Alright, now. It's really late. Mom's good daughter should go to sleep quickly. Go ahead and sleep first. Mom will go take a shower."
As if Fang Xinxin would believe Fang Lilan's nonsense.
She watched as her mom entered the bathroom. She quietly moved to stand next to the bathroom door. Through the door, she could hear Fang Lilan turning on the tap and lowering her voice to make a call.
"Manxue, I've already locked Xinxin in the room. I'll also be here to watch her. She won't be able to appear in the middle of the night to cause trouble for you. You'll have to rely on yourself for everything else."
