Huian quickly said, “I mean, did he look or behave anything…differently?”Nana furrowed her brows as she thought back. “Well…I think he did seem a little absent-minded. For a moment, I thought that he was in a daze, but he quickly snapped back. I thought that I might have misunderstood.”
Indeed, after the check-up, Shin seemed comparatively less energetic than before. She was going to ask him, but he already left with Jinhai.
Nana asked, “So it wasn’t my imagination. Do you know what has happened?”
Huian didn’t know what or how to say it. Suddenly, she felt as if she couldn’t face her.
Nana gently placed her hand on her shoulder. “Huian. Are you fine? Did you meet him recently? Or had any argument?”
Huian was clasping her hands together in nervousness. She looked at her and shifted her gaze away.
Nana was now getting concerned.
What might have happened?
Huian finally gathered the courage to speak. “That Nana…I-I want to tell you something…”
“Yes, sure. You can share anything with me.”
She awkwardly smiled. “I don’t know how from where to start…I haven’t even told this to Mom and Dad. I couldn’t. I didn’t know whom I should go to. B-but I felt that I could talk to you…”
Nana nodded. “En. It’s alright. You can say anything to me. I promise I won’t tell anybody else if you don’t want me to. This conversation would be only between us.”
Huian felt a little relieved. The tension eased up a bit with Nana’s reassurance. She knew she could trust her, so she never nodded.
“Alright…actually, I wanted to know if Shin said anything to you ab-about…”
Nana encouraged. “About?”
Huian took a deep breath. “That Shin and I…I mean…we have-“
“Waaaaaaa…”
“Waaaahaaaa…”
Suddenly, she was cut off by loud cries.
“Aiyooo, don’t cry, my cuties! See, your mother is here!” Jing entered Nana’s room, wheeling the stroller who was almost on the verge of crying himself.
“Sister-in-law, please help! My adorable nephews are hungry like crazy. If they don’t get their milk, then I will go crazy.”
“Waaaaaaa!!!”
“Waaaaaaaah!!!!”
Jian and Nian were wailing in the stroller as their stomachs were grumbling. Their teary, black orbs saw their mother, and they tried to reach out to her with their chubby, little hands.
Jing was surprised to see Huian. “Oh, Huian! You are here too. Good. Help me with the twins.”
Huian froze for a moment as she didn’t get to say what she wanted. But she quickly smiled it off.
Nana helplessly smiled at her brother-in-law’s state. She apologetically looked at Huian for the sudden disturbance, but Huian didn’t mind it.
“I will quickly tend to them.”
“En.”
“Hey, Huian. Help me already!” Jing whined.
Huian glared at him. “How many times do I have to tell you? I am older than you by seven years. Address me as sister Huian!”
Jing looked at her in disdain. “How about oldie Huian?”
Previously, Jing hated her to the core because of how she troubled Jinhai with the forced marriage. But the day she apologized for her actions and confessed in front of everyone, Jing had also changed his opinion of her. Since she was genuinely remorseful, he forgot all his grievances as well. Now, he teased her just like he did with any other person whom he liked.
Huian wanted to pounce on him, but Jing nimbly dodged. “You! Come back here! How dare you call me oldie. I am only twenty-eight!”
Jing grinned. “But it suits you~~”
“Then why don’t you call Jinhai an oldie as well?”
Jing looked at her in horror. “How could you? My brother is the most handsome and charismatic in the whole world. He wouldn’t lose his charm even if he turns a hundred!”
Huian gritted her teeth. “So, you mean that I will lose my charm?”
“Well…” Jing left it unsaid.
Huian was about to bash him again, but…
“WAAAAAAHH…”
The twins cries made them stop. Huian pursed her lips. She shot a glare at Jing and then gazed at the twins with a sweet smile.
“Aww, are you hungry?”
“Baaaabaaa…” Nian furiously agreed.
Nana said, “I will feed them. I will take Jian first.”
Huian nodded. “Until then, Jing and I will play with Nian and divert his attention.”
“Oh, thank you! That would help a lot.”
Nana fed the twins one by one, and they finally stopped crying after their bellies were full.
Jing said, “I am so bored sitting in the villa. Why don’t we head out in the garden for a stroll? The twins will love it too.”
Huian hesitated since she wanted to talk to Nana.
Well…I will talk to her some other time.
“Sure. I don’t mind.”
But Nana wasn’t that excited. Her smile faltered, and she said, “Umm…I am feeling a little chilly, so I will pass…”
Jing worriedly asked, “Sister-in-law, are you still not getting better? It’s been almost a week. Let’s take you to the hospital for a more detailed check-up.”
Nana vigorously shook her head. “No. Really, I am fine. It would be too much trouble.”
Huian frowned. “Jing is right. You should get a check-up done. We don’t want it to get serious.”
Nana fiddled with her dress. “No, I am fine. Oh, I think my phone is buzzing. I will check who is calling. Maybe, it’s Meiling for Natsukashi work…”
She hurriedly grabbed her phone and left.
Huian asked, “Shall we go then?”
Jing nodded. “Yup. You take the stroller ahead. I will join you in a moment.”
He left her room and walked up to the study room. He found Jinhai going through some documents, and at Jing’s entrance, he raised his head.
“Jing.”
Jing closed the door behind him and sat in front of him, letting out a sigh. “Bro, you were right.”
Jinhai paused. He kept the documents back on the table and stared at Jing, indicating him to continue.
Jing said, “After sister-in-law fed Jian and Nian, I said that we should go to the garden for a stroll, but she declined. She even made an excuse that she got a call from Natsukashi and hurriedly left.”
Jinhai’s expression turned grim as he heard this.
“You were right. Sister-in-law is indeed avoiding to be anywhere near the twins as much as she can.”
