Hui Yin felt frustrated.
She just spent half an hour fixing Jiang Xu's hair, so why did it still look every bit as messy as before?
Hui Yin sighed, raising her palms in defeat.
"I give up."
Jiang Xu clutched the messenger bag tightly to his lap as he gave her a boyish grin.
"Too bad."
His eyes revealed mixed emotions as he watched Hui Yin gather up her hairstyling products before going back to the bedroom.
If the timing hadn't been so wrong, he would have already been floating in happiness by the fact that his Wifey had taken the initiative to stay close to him.
However, the two little brats were here, and one of them seemed to be already thinking of a way to send him back to his ancestors.
Jiang Xu could only cry silently at his bad luck.
"Shouldn't you be going now? You're going to be late," Hui Yin said as she re-entered the kitchen, carrying Baby Shang's 'dowry' box.
She placed it on the table, giving Baby Shang a regretful look.
"I'm sorry Baby Shang, but I really can't accept this. I took the chocolates though," she added, flashing a cheeky smile.
Baby Shang was naturally disappointed by this, since it was his 'dowry' to his Wifey. But thinking that she at least accepted his chocolates, and had not accepted anything of Wuji's, Baby Shang became slightly happy.
Jiang Xu checked his watch, and abruptly stood up.
He was still using the messenger bag as a shield, trying to look as casual as possible.
"Let's go."
Both the two little buns ignored him.
"Can't we stay?"
Taking a direct hit from Little Wuji's puppy eyes that was being directed at her, Hui Yin showed some hint of hesitation.
She had nothing important to do today after all, and she enjoyed spending time with the little buns. But Mrs. Jiang might not like the twins being far away from her for too long, and Hui Yin didn't want to intrude too much on their family. While the Jiangs may not be as strict as the Lus in terms of their attitude to outsiders, all aristocratic families were essentially still the same.
If Hui Yin hadn't been close to Jiang Xu and the twins from the start, she would have avoided that kind of circle altogether. She had planned a long time ago to move into a different place after breaking her engagement to Lu Shen, creating a fresh start.
Hui Yin crouched in front of Little Wuji, pinching his cheek.
"We'll have another sleepover in the future, okay? I promise."
Little Wuji pursed his lips, looking reluctant.
He really didn't want to leave his Wifey.
Hui Yin kissed his forehead, and leaned over to give Baby Shang a kiss as well.
"Be good little buns for me, it'll make this Auntie very happy."
She watched as Jiang Xu dragged them away, both Little Wuji and Baby Shang craning their necks to glance back at her with each step they took.
Every time that they did, Hui Yin gave them a wave and a warm smile.
Although she regretted the fact that she hadn't tried to meet with Jiang Xu and the twins sooner, Hui Yin knew that it was for the best. The past her would have only embroiled them into her conflict. It was better that it was the current her that had contacted them, because at the very least, she knew the dangers that was waiting for her ahead.
Hui Yin shook her head as she went inside her bedroom, taking out her secret planner.
She couldn't believe it had only been four days, including the night when she had been reborn.
It hadn't even been a week yet, and so much had already changed.
