Jing Xi sensed his reluctance. In order to protect little Tieniu, she suggested, "Your Highness, if you do not want to be friends with Niuniu, I will not bring him here again. No worries. I'm taking him home after work today."
Little Grape suddenly recalled what Grandma Lan had said, which scared him. If Niuniu left, Auntie Xiaoxi would be gone too.
He stood up on the bed and said, as if he was giving a command, "I'm not unwilling to be friends with him. Fine. You may play with my toys now."
Little Grape pointed at the boxes on the floor. It was his biggest compromise.
Jing Xi knew that he had already accepted Niuniu as a friend. So she held Niuniu's hand and said, "Niuniu, say thank you to the prince. He is inviting you to play with his toys."
Little Tieniu felt uncertain and took another glance at the prince, then the boxes.
Little Grape hopped on the bed and urged, "Go open it and take a look!"
"Come on, let mommy show you the toys."
