Chapter 111 - We must have been sisters

Lin Lihua held in her gasp. Was this really Wan Jia? She looked like a sixteen year old girl!

"How adorable! So so cute! Come here, let big sister hug you!"

Wan Jia rushed over obediently. To recieve such a loving hug from an older woman, it felt really nice. She did not know why Sis Lihua was nice to her but she made her feel like she had an elder sister.

Jeez...what's with these emotions? Wan Jia, she's just your friend, not your sister.

"Little Wan, can I take a picture of you using your phone? You can share it with me later." she had just broken her own phone earlier from the shock of seeing her cute little sister.

"Wait, wait. Let me dress up too. We can take photos together." Wan Jia liked the idea too.

Lin Lihua wore a little black strapless dress. She called over her friend who lived not too far away to take photos of them.

They contrasted each other in their styles yet neither overshadowed the other's beauty.

One looked like a cold yet elegant queen in her black dress while the other looked like a warm and obedient little princess in her pink dress. They both had lovely long legs. From an outsider's perspective, they looked different but the beauty of the two of them in the same frame was simply off the charts.

They took several photos hugging, making cute poses and teasing each other. In the end, they had more than twenty of them. One particular photo would catch everyone's eyes.

Lin Lihua was standing behind Wan Jia, overshadowing her since she was wearing high heeled shoes while Wan Jia had a pair sandals on. Lin Lihua was pretending to pull Wan Jia's hair while the latter rolled her eyes in mock disdain. They looked exactly like a pair of loving sisters bantering with each other.

.....

At a high end Villa in the north side of the city.

"Mom, we have to go to the hospital right this instant!" Lin Lihua was out of breath as she ran into her mother's room.

Hearing the mention of hospital and seeing her daughter trying to catch her breath, Xia Rou was worried. "Lihua, are you sick? Where does it hurt? Quickly tell Mommy."

"No. Calm down mom, I'm not sick. Look." She gave her mother a little package.

"This is...?" Xia Rou was suspicious.

"Open it."

Xia Rou opened it nervously only to find a hairbrush.

"You bought this for me?" she asked with her eyes squinted. It had a few strands of hair stuck between the bristles. Obviously it had not been bought. "Could it be..." She dared not think about that.

"Yes! I helped Little Wan style her hair today. Don't worry, I haven't used that brush before."

"She won't suspect a thing?"

"She will not. We both dressed up."

Xia Rou was elated. "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go right now, quick!"

"I also took a few photos with her. She looks so adorable. You should..."

"Show me later." Xia Rou grabbed her daughter's hand and ran out with her. You would think it was an emergency.

"What took you so long?" As expected, a certain consort who had been banished to the cold palace was unhappy.

Wan Jia on the other hand was bursting in happiness. She kicked off her shoes into different directions and literally collapsed onto the sofa. "I was with Sis Lihua. She gave me this dress and even styled my hair. Don't I look cute? We took photos together. You don't know but Sis Lihua is too cool! She must have been my sister in my previous life." The girl rambled on and on making Lu Aotian wonder just how she was able to make friends and become so close in such a short amount of time.

"Why do you still look sulky?" She asked when she noticed his mood didn't look too good.

"You left me for a whole day and didn't even answer my calls. Can't I be unhappy for a bit?"

"You can't." she rejected. "I order you to be happy. Aren't I here now?"

He scanned her face and body speechlessly. How could this little girl look this adorable? Moreso, she looked even younger than she looked before he married her. If anyone publicly said that this 'underaged' girl was his woman, wouldn't he be jailed for life? But she looked kind of...sexy...

"Why are you looking at me like that?" she covered her chest when she saw what this hooligan was looking at.

"You look too adorable." he couldn't resist anymore and took her into his arms. She was so soft and warm in his arms. No matter how many times he held her, he would never have enough.

"Stop messing around. Where is Little Jia?" she asked.

"Mommy!" Talk of the devil, the little girl ran downstairs from her playroom.

When she saw her mommy, the little girl stopped in her tracks and tilted her head.

"Mommy looks so pretty." she complimented in awe. She was happy that her Mommy had pigtails today, just like her.

"Baby, what did you do today?"

"Mommy, Little Jia played with toys and drew Mommy and Daddy."

At the mention of drawing, she ran to her room like she had remembered something, then she came back with her chaotic 'drawing'. At least it was slightly better than the previous one.

...

That evening at the dinner table, something unexpected happened to Wan Jia.
