Jia returned ho more tired and exhausted than she had expected. If she excluded Mingshen then spending ti at the Yang family was genuinely fun. Yet there lay a hint of sothing that seed to sap her energy away.
She tossed her body left and right on the couch but none position gave her relief. She sighed and simply laid back straight.
She then unlocked her phone and with Weiyun and Lii’s faces appearing as the wallpaper, her eyes lit up.
So cute!
Ah, I really want to play with them...
Jia hit Lihua’s number which was picked on the second ring. "Sisss!!!"
"Was your phone stuck to your hand or sothing?" She chuckled.
"I was scrolling on it anyway~ I am so happy that you called ! I miss you."
"Silly, we live in the sa city."
She harrumphed. "I still miss you. We don’t get to spend as much ti these days."
Jia smiled. "It’s natural, silly. You are married and a mother now. You have so many commitnts."
"Sis, don’t talk like that. It feels distant!"
Her smile held still for just a mont.
"We aren’t distant. I have my cases. You have your PR work and then the twins. How is everyone at ho?"
"It’s always chaos with the twins around," she cried. "You know sis they were around with paints and gosh the ss they made!"
Jia laughed. "I would like to see the pictures."
"Don’t laugh sis! It doesn’t end here. Even all the elders joined in the paint war and everybody was sared all colorful with paint. Lii was expressing her art on Wei’s face and he stood like the perfect statue for her to paint on," she released a deep sigh.
"He is a doting father, Lihua."
"Sotis too doting. Oh wait, the twins are tugging to talk to you."
"Jiaaaaa!!!"
Aaand I am in heaven again...
Her heart lted with their adorable voices. "Weiyun. Lii."
"Jiaaa. Jiaaa. Jiaaaaa..."
She chuckled. "Yes, Weiyun. I am here only."
"Weiyun, I know you are excited to talk to sis but don’t hit your head on the phone like that!" She helplessly scolded him.
Jua heard her naughty nephew giggle.
"Sis, he is so happy that he doesn’t know what to speak about."
"Jiaaa!" Lii happily took charge in the anti. "I daw paint Dada."
"Oh my, my Lii is such an amazing artist~"
She giggled blushingly.
"Jiiaaa," Weiyun jumped in. "I too paint...paint you."
"Aiyaa you drew ?" Her eyes shone.
Lihua said, "Yes. Right now he is blushing hard. He is keeping that picture hugged to his chest. Sis, he has a crush on you, hoho."
"I will willingly have him as my prince charming anyti~" she sighed and her eyes ached. "You all will make cry..."
Weiyun said tearfully. "Jia no cwy..."
Jia could feel a nosebleed coming.
This is a test of how much of their cuteness I can take.
"No, no. I am not crying."
"Aish, Lii you got your hands dirty again! And I had just washed you," Lihua sobbed in the background. "Now back to the bathroom again..."
"Sis, I will catch up with you later. These twins will not let breathe a single mont in peace!"
"A-Ah yes... Have fun. Bye." She fumbled and hung up the call.
She shook her head and prayed for her sister to have the strength.
It was almost ti for dinner but she wasn’t really hungry after the full blown lunch at the Yang villa. She tapped her finger on her phone restlessly and eventually pinged Huojin.
’Hey.’
’Congratulations.’
Jia frowned and typed back. ’For what?’
’Did she succeed in making you her daughter-in-law?’
Her brow twitched hard. ’I still have a functioning brain, Huo.’
’What does that have to do with your wedding?’
’If it’s with Mingshen, then everything.’
’You are missing out on a colorful life~’
’I would rather choose a grey and dull canvas.’
’That’s boring.’
’That’s peaceful. Cases already keep my life very interesting. Back to the topic. Would you like a free trip to Tianjin and et the actor Bai Caishen?’
’You know about Bai Caishen?’
’Aunt made watch his drama.’
’So it’s like that. I thought you betrayed that you watched dramas but not ani. Your knowledge on anything fun and entertainnt is as ek as Yang Mingshen having sympathy.’
Is he an idiot? Jia truly wondered at that point.
Huojin’s ssage ca again. ’Who is sponsoring the trip?’
’Yang Bingqing.’
’Then that trip is not ant for . The trip is a trap for you and Yang Mingshen.’
’He won’t be coming.’
’Then what’s the point of the tra - I an trip?’
’Apparently, she also wants Bai Caishen’s autograph. She is a huge fan.’
’She is Yang Bingqing. She can get anything she wants.’
’So I told her.’
’You are on a vacation, not . So go and have a blast.’
’Why do I feel that you are escaping?’
’You see, if word went out that I am accompanying you then upon our arrival, we would mysteriously find one ticket canceled. But if it’s Yang Mingshen, then both the bookings will be safe and sound.’
Jia read it, speechless.
He is really an idiot.
’As if Aunt will do anything like that. She is really sweet.’
’To you. You didn’t see the look she gave this morning. Even if I do go, I am pretty sure my part of the trip won’t be sponsored anymore.’
Jia choked.
’Fiiiine. You always call the party pooper but you are the biggest party pooper!’
She kept her phone aside. There was her other friend Xia Nian she could ask, but she was out of the country for a while.
What would I do going all alone?
She shrugged and feeling a yawn coming, she dozed off to sleep.
—
Jia.
Jia.
Jia.
I am here, Jia.
Jia’s eyes opened with a sudden jerk. She felt she would have gasped out loud but she didn’t even feel if she was breathing. She remained frozen. Just a racing sensation lingered in her chest like always.
She stared at the ceiling and tiredly closed back her eyes.
