"No, father," she says, "I am fine. There's already a pile of work for me to do so I cannot just take one day off."

Her father's face falls, and he glances at Sha Sha who is standing beside him. "Why do you sound more and more like me?" he mumbles, pinching the bridge of his nose. 

Sha Sha scolds him, "I told you earlier not to give her your work advice! Look at her now, she is just like you!"

"Honey, it's not my fault if she wishes to work. Why do you blame me?" he defenses himself, making a puppy face to his wife. 

Shi Lian chuckles watching her parents bickering. They are adorable and she loves them. 

Before they make this topic huge, she steps in, "no one is at fault here. I like working, that's it. Don't blame Father" she requests her mother, smiling. "Okay, mother?"

Sha Sha sighs, shaking her head, smiling. "Fine, as you say." Shi Lian and her father share a secret smile and he mouths her thank you.
