Since the news of Francesca's pregnancy started circulating, even before the Spring Festival, everyone was in the mood for the festival. But none get the chance to celebrate it. Since it was the end of the year, everyone's workload had increased. And they hardly even had time to breathe.
One would say Xiu was the most leisurely person but she was the busiest. She had been spinning like a top. She had so much planning to do. And since she was the only person at home, all the kids were also with her. How could she be free in these circumstances???
To people, she was truly like a virtuous and loving wife and mother. No one could say otherwise.
But when it came to people around her, they knew that those labels weren't enough to describe what Xiu was. She was a whole lot more than what people said. Her biggest role in this family was, being the best support!
No matter who it was, she would give them her whole support.
This year's Spring Festival was special to all. Everyone was gathering for this Spring Festival. Even Ying was back, how could it not be a big deal now?
"You got tanned," said Xiu when she looked at Ying. And trust me, she was putting it lightly when she said Ying had 'tanned.'
"You don't need to be so polite, Xiu," said Ying as she hugged her. "And where is my nephew? Does he even remember me? Or my absence left a mark on his little heart?"
Xiu laughed at her, "As if. He never had any impression of you. Well, he wasn't supposed to. But my Xiao Bobo is your sole follower, how can he not let my son know about you?" Ying looked pleased when she heard that. What Xiu didn't explain was how whenever Xiao Bobo came around to visit, he'd open the photos of Ying to show Rowan and tell him long stories about Ying Jie. So much that even Rowan was excited to meet this aunt he had never even seen!
"Leave me aside but you look quite happy," stated Ying.
"Don't speak the obvious," came Dylan's voice. "Hello, my archenemy!"
"Hello, dear mistress!" replied Xiu. "It's been a while, eh!"
Dylan looked back and held the hand of the woman behind him before pulling her up to stand beside him and placed his arm around her waist as he said, "It takes a while to catch a wife."
"First get married then try to show off," retorted Xiu. Then she turned to Cali and smiled happily, "It's a surprise to see you! I thought you weren't coming."
"I asked Dylan not to let you know beforehand," said Cali. "But now that I've managed everything in Italy, I'll be staying around."
"What staying around? You already are joining the hospital as department head after the Spring Festival," grumbled Dylan unhappily.
"Being a surgeon is still the passion, eh?"
Cali nodded her head, "Can't forget my roots. I can't deal with business. It's not my cup of tea. I'm happy Dylan helped and now I've put responsible people on respective fields. I can finally go back to the playground which I ruled once."
Xiu chuckled, "That's good for you."
"You're not inviting us in?" asked Dylan.
"When did you need an invitation, mistress?" retorted Xiu.
"That's also true," agreed Dylan and walked in.
"Ying Jie, you took a long time to come back," stated Dylan to Ying.
"Dylan is right. Ying, you took way too long," Cali also chimed in. "By the way, you're here. How come you're little lover isn't here with you?"
"He is my husband now. Legally!" Ying said it so proudly that Xiu found it quite funny. Good thing she had the recording on and now, this clip would be sent to Xiao Bobo who was in the middle of an event. Just imagining the agony he'd be in after seeing the person he yearned for being so close and yet so out of his reach. Ah! Xiu was feeling jubilant!
When did she start having such evil ideas for enjoyment? How come she even started enjoying her Xiao Bobo's misery? Xiu shook her head! Let go of it. When it's fun, what does it matter?
"You really hit the ball out of the boundary at the first ball," said Cali sourly. She had been in love with Dylan for so long and they had been engaged for over three years now and yet, they were still unmarried. How did Ying take the victory in this case?
"I have always been the MVP," said Ying.
"Aren't you scared your husband might get scared of you bein so tanned?" asked Cali.
Ying threw a cushion at her, "Is this called friendship?"
"I can tell you in all honesty that this is exactly what's called friendship!" came Nora's voice from the door.
"Xiu, I'm here! Rowan, Jiejie is here!" Ava's excited screams were ringing in the whole house just as she walked through the foyer.
"Slow down a little!" Nora's voice was heard again. "Why do you become like a fish who found her way back to the water whenever you step into this house?"
"This is Xiu's place," told Ava innocently.
Nora rubbed her forehead, "Go and look for your little brother, Rowan. See, what is he up to."
"Okay!" Ava didn't even care who was sitting in the lounge since all her attention was on her little brother Rowan. How can anyone be more important than that cutie?
"Nora!" Dylan stood up to meet her but she pushed him away.
"I just met you last month, do you think I missed you that much?" Nora gave a displeased look to him. "I am more excited to meet these two pretty ladies I haven't seen in a long while." As she looked at Ying, she was stunned, "Ying Jie, who beat you black and blue?"
Xiu laughed out loud, "Ying Jie, give her an answer."
Ying's tanned face got even darker, "You're looking for a beating in my opinion."
Nora instantly jumped behind Xiu, "Save me."
"Who asked you to touch the hornet's nest?"
