Chapter 624 Out of place
Jia stared at her niece, who was lightly stirring in Mingshen’s arms as if she was having a lovely dream.Mingshen cocked his brow in amusement seeing her faintly smile.
”Why does her smile remind me of the little chilly lying on that bed there?”
Jia smiled. “It’s because she is like her. She smiles just like Lihua.”
”I hope it’s only the smile and not the brain,” he sneered.
She glared at him. “Aren’t you tired of saying that?”
”If her mother is not tired of her brain, then why will I be tired of commenting on it?” He shrugged. “Whatever. Hold her.”
Jia pursed her lips. In the end, she held her when Mingshen was practically pushing baby Limei in her arms.
As soon as she felt small, warm body pressed against her chest, tears pooled in her eyes. It was a happy day meeting her nephew and niece for the first time, but she didn’t know why she wished to cry. She brushed the top of her soft head with her index finger and smiled. The pure and innocent look on Limei’s face tugged her heart strings. It arose an urge within her to protect her from all the evil in this world.
Mingshen stared at them and failed to understand the strange feeling tugging his chest at this moment. He could only gaze at Jia, who looked beautiful holding the baby in her arms. She looked just like a mother would look holding her child, though she was an Aunt.
”…You look good holding your niece. You should do it more often,” Mingshen whispered.
Jia pressed her brows together and looked at him. “What kind of a compliment is that?”
He snapped out of his daze and grinned. “Nothing. I am just saying that you should get used to it because in the future, you will hold our babies too~”
Her face blackened.
”You can use your nephew and niece as training grounds to raise our beautiful and smart children~” he shamelessly said.
She clenched her jaw. If only she wasn’t holding Limei right now, she would have punched the living daylights out of him.
”Please refrain from making such jokes that make my skin crawl,” she smiled, “otherwise I will skin you alive.”
Mingshen gleamed. “I like it so much when you threaten me!”
”…”
Jia took a deep breath and released all her anger as she exhaled. Limei was more important than Mingshen right now.
She focused her attention back to her niece and smiled. “Hello, Limei. I am Song Jia, your Aunt. Hehe, I was waiting for you and your brother eagerly and now I can finally hold you two. You two are the cutest.”
Mingshen tickled Weiyun’s cheek in the crib and asked, “If they are the cutest, then why didn’t their Aunt come and meet them sooner?”
She stiffened.
”And why is she meeting them secretly?”
Jia gritted her teeth. “It’s nothing like that. Don’t make it sound like something scandalous. I just…The Zhao and Cheng family were there with her. I didn’t think it was good to disturb them.”
He tilted his head. “Disturb? Did you really think like that or did you think that you aren’t needed in Lihua’s life anymore?”
His words shook her hard. “A-are you an idiot? I would never think that way-“
”You are. You think that little chilly is reunited with her real family now. She got them back, so are you unnecessary in her life anymore? And you think that way more because you understand that your parents have betrayed and tried to kill her in the past. So now that the Cheng family is back, why would little chilly need a sister whose parents wanted her dead? Spicy…”
Mingshen took two steps towards her with an unreadable expression. She couldn’t figure out what he was thinking as he approached her.
He bent his face towards her and squinted his eyes, “Are you feeling lonely?”
She unconsciously gripped Limei tighter in her arms. “Or are you feeling awkward being with your own sister now?”
”It’s nothing-“
”That’s why you didn’t visit Zhao villa much after Wei and little chilly went back because the Cheng family was frequently coming to visit them. Did you feel out of place?”
She froze.
The hell…what does he know about me that he can understand what I am feeling!?
”Don’t act like you understand me.”lll
He narrowed his eyes further. “There is nothing for me to act, Spicy. Remember? I have touched your heart. I know what exactly goes on in there.”
She widened her eyes.
”I know I am right and so, I am a little mad at my Spicy. As long as Yang Mingshen is by your side, you will never feel lonely or out of place. But you are still feeling those useless emotions despite this handsomeness with you.”
She stared at him, and her lips automatically burst into a chuckle, “Handsomeness? Seriously?”
Mingshen’s eyes went wide. This was the first time that Jia was genuinely laughing instead of throwing daggers at him like she always did. She looked so breathtaking that Mingshen had an urge to capture her lips and kiss her senseless.
Her laughter then soon faded which got replaced by a tinge of melancholy in her smile and gaze.
”Useless emotions…Indeed. Lihua will say the same thing. She will scold me a lot if she knows this.”
”So I am right,” Mingshen remarked.
Jia went quiet and looked down at Limei. The cute pumpkin adorably yawned, bringing a smile to Jia’s lips.
”Lihua has…so many people by her side now, right?” She said as she cradled Limei. “Zhao family, Yang family and now the Cheng family. So many people love her. There was a time when she depended on me, and now she is surrounded by three lovely families whom she can depend on. It just feels…” her smile was awkward as if she felt embarrassed.
”Even if I have the whole world to depend on, do you think anybody can replace you, sis?” Lihua’s question rang in the silence.
