My Beautiful Love

"My love, you don't have any...?" she asked then felt like biting her tongue off.

Gah! What did she just ask? She did not need anyone to tell her. Her face must be completely red by now.

Lu Aotian did not need her to say the word to know what she was asking for. Much to her embarassment, he opened a drawer and took out a little box.

"Why do you have such things in your bedroom?" Even at the peak of her embarassment, she did not forget to ask accusingly.

Lu Aotian smiled at her. "What are you thinking? I have nit just in case you are not ready to have another baby."

"Oh..." she said before her lips got sealed.

However, Lu Aotian's phone just had to interrupt them.

The man was annoyed but picked up when he saw the caller ID. He only said an "I see" before hanging up.

Wan Jia was curious.

"It's an emergency at the company. I must have a brief conference call right now."

"Oh." Since he did not explain further, she did not ask either.

"Go to sleep, okay?" he kissed her forehead.

"Don't stay up too long." she said.

He nodded and left for the study room.

True to his word, it was very brief. As she drifted to sleep, she vaguely heard his footsteps, felt the other side of the bed sinking and warm arms around her waist.

As Lu Aotian fell asleep, he had a lot on his mind. Someone had attempted to break into one of the branches. Nice try. Luckily, the security system had been personally modified by him.

...

The next morning, Little Jia was very unhappy when she woke up and refused to eat her breakfast. She would not talk to anyone either. Even the servants were extremely careful and didn't dare to act recklessly, lest the little miss gets angrier and throws a fit. Would they continue living?

Lu Aotian was at a loss. He would never leave the house when his princess was unhappy but what was this? She wouldn't have a peaceful conversation with him, much less tell him the reason for her bad mood.

"Daddy is bad." she cried.

"Yes, Daddy is bad, Daddy is the worst. Can you tell me what I did wrong?" he coaxed gently.

Watching the scene, Wan Jia was thinking, it was not at all strange that Little Jia was incredibly spoilt. Her daddy tolerated all her tantrums and pampered her like a jewel. It would be a surprise if she was not spoilt.

"Can you tell mommy?" Wan Jia asked when she ignored her father. Still, the little girl shook her head.

"Then, eat your breakfast, okay? After that, we can chase Daddy for all his crimes. It's so yummy. Mommy cooked it for you. Do you want to try?" she took her from Lu Aotian's arms and sat her at the dining table.

The little girl got down as soon as Wan Jia let go of her. "Mommy is bad too."

"Eer..."

It's a conflict between Aotian and his little princess. How did I get involved?

Just when Wan Jia's and Lu Aotian's heads were about to explode, Lu Shaoting called.

Little Jia overhead her uncle's voice and rushed over. "Is that second uncle?"

Before Lu Aotian responded, the little girl let out an anguished cry and burst into tears. "Second uncle, uwaaaaa-!"

Lu Shaoting who was talking about work matters stopped. "Hey! What did the two of you do to my niece?"

Little Jia cried even harder. "Second uncle, they bullied me. I was bullied wuuu..." she was holding onto her father's phone like it contained her life.

"Little Jia, stop crying, okay? What did daddy and mommy do? Can you tell second uncle?"

Her tears fell harder as she complained about her parents to her second uncle. "Last night they...they did not read me a story. They let Little Jia sleep alone." she sobbed.

Lu Aotian: "..."

Wan Jia: "..."

Lu Shaoting on the phone : "..."

All the maids present: "..."

Our dear little great grandaunt, allow us to call you great grandaunt. The reason you sulked all morning, threw a tantrum and threatened to drown the entire estate in your tears is...just this?

Lu Shaoting could only coax her. "Forget about them. Second uncle will not only read you stories and sing you songs, I will also take you somewhere fun to play."

Only then did she wipe her tears, put her father's phone away and agree to eat her breakfast.

Lu Aotian and Wan Jia were speechless.

In the next few days, Lu Shaoting tried to talk to Su Ling but she seemed unwilling to even look at him. He could only resort to asking for help from his sister-in-law. If not, how was he supposed to have a baby with her if they couldn't even hold a peaceful discussion?

On a certain day, he made a deal with Wan Jia. He would go to Elite Fashion World and when Su Ling was in Wan Jia's office, he would have a private chat with her.

As soon as he entered her office, she left, leaving only Su Ling and Lu Shaoting in. After walking out, she sent him a message. [Please book yourselves a hotel room. Don't do it in my office.]

Lu Shaoting cursed her a million times. How could she say such things?

He was yet to know that the naughty Wan Jia had locked them in.
