"Daddy will get someone to buy you chocolate, but just for today, mmh?" Perhaps it was because his little princess had been wronged earlier, Lu Aotian relented to letting her have chocolate. She had always been restricted when it came to sweet things and she didn't even dare ask for them. She would only wait for her daddy to voluntarily buy them for her....
"Yes Daddy," after having her way, the little girl was happy now, so she rested sweetly in her father's embrace.
Wan Jia looked at them jealously at the side.
Hugs! Hugs and chocolate! I want them too. She pursed her lips.
Lu Aotian rubbed her head with one hand, chuckling at her adorably jealous gaze. He had embraced her all night. Was she still jealous of Little Jia?
Wan Jia's phone rang. She froze slightly at the caller ID. Yun Xuan? What could she want? It's not that she didn't want Yun Xuan to call her, she was just scared that it might be something confidential and she was with Lu Aotian.
"You finally remember I exist." she scolded cautiously.
"Wanwan, please scold me later, okay? I need you to do me a very very very important favor. No matter how much you reject me this time, I'll bug you billions of times. Only you can help me."
"Well, we can't talk about it on phone. How about we meet up?" she scratched her ear and sneaked a peek at Lu Aotian whose ears were perked up.
"Okay. Usual place, thirty minutes later."
"An hour later."
"Okay." Yun Xuan hung up.
"Baby, I'm meeting Yun Xuan in one hour. You won't mind, right?" she blinked her eyes beautifully as she clung onto his arm.
Of course Lu Aotian had taken a day off and he anticipated spending time with her, they even agreed to go on a date today if all went alright. Now Yun Xuan just called to take his wife away. How could he not mind?
Knowing he was going to reject her request, Wan Jia purposefully kissed his cheek and nibbled on his ear slightly. This should be his weak spot. "Baby, I'll be back before you know it. You can play with Little Jia as you wait for me."
Little Jia, who was curled into a warm ball in Lu Aotian's arms gave her a greatful smile. Mommy was leaving her to spend some quality time with Daddy! Oh, I love Mommy so much.
"Baby....Little Jia wants to play with you too. Let me go just this once, pretty please?....Okay?" She looked at Little Jia silently for help. This guy was being difficult on purpose. Since when was he this hard to coax?
"Daddy, didn't we agree to have a little picnic in the backyard, just the two of us? Since Mommy wants to meet her friend, how about we have the picnic today?"
Lu Aotian "..." When did we ever agree to such a thing?
"See, Little Jia in fact wants to spend time with you alone. "
Lu Aotian: Shouldn't you be jealous if I were to really spend time with Little Jia alone? How important is that meeting with Yun Xuan?
Fine, he had to admit that with both of them coaxing him, he was totally helpless and could only agree reluctantly.

"Sorry am late." Wan Jia said apologetically as she took a seat opposite Yun Xuan.
"I just got here." she smiled. If not for the obvious tired look in her eyes, Wan Jia would have believed her.
"What's up with you? Not having enough rest? Is Tyler bullying you? I'll...."
"Whoa, whoa, slow down missy." Wan Jia was rambling on looking like she wanted to find Tyler and kill him and Yun Xuan could only stop her.
"I met Tyler's family." she said after a tormenting wait.
"Big news! How could you not tell me, future Mrs. whatever his surname is?" then she thought about it "What's his surname anyway?"
Yun Xuan varessed her neck and replied "That's not important. The main point is... his grandma is nice and kind, but his sister is the atomic bomb."
Wan Jia looked on curiously. "Can you not tease me like that, and tell me exactly what happened?"
Yun Xuan replied "She looks at me like a wife looking at her husband's mistress. Gee, it gives me goosebumps."
"Wait, did you just say his sister looks at you like a wife and all that, I mean, isn't he her brother?" Wan Jia's eyes were just on the verge of rolling out.
"Godsister." she said indifferently.
Wan Jia was still shocked. "So what if she's his godsister? It wouldn't look moral for her to lust over her brother, even if they are not related by blood. Moreso since her dear brother has a girlfriend." "Wait, did she bully you? If she did, I'll strangle her."
Yun Xuan's expression relaxed. She had been feeling bad about the whole thing and blaming herself for snatching Tyler away from Ruolin. Now that Wan Jia felt that their relationship wouldn't have been quite right, she felt more relaxed. "Forget about her. That's not why I called you here."
"Oh, oh, why did you call me then?"
"It's a long story but my father met this weird old friend and apparently he has a son slightly older than me so am now set up for a weird blind date."
"What? What about Tyler?...and what's this got to do with why you called me?"
"Tyler went on a mission: I hope he never finds out about this. Sigh, as for the favor, I want you to go in my stead."
