"Aria, where are your manners?" Ming Jia admonished her. Why on earth did she get two brats as her children? Why couldn't she get one as cute and obedient as Long Jie? She really liked the boy.

"Sorry, Mom," Aria said in a low voice.

"And why on earth are you drinking ginger tea when you hate ginger to death?" Ming Jia asked.

"I was nauseous and Auntie Su said that it would help with it."

Ming Jia frowned. "Okay, but don't drink too much. I can't stand its smell now. I used to drink it when you were in my stomach but now I even hate its smell. So, go away if you wanna drink."

Aria pursed her lips and went away with her cup of ginger tea.

"What happened to Aria, Auntie?" Fan Bingbing asked. "She had been acting strange these days. Always losing her temper and eating weird things."

"God knows!"

"You didn't reply to my question, Bingbing." Zhenyi reminded her.

"No. Not officer Zheng. I'm talking about that handsome musician that you signed months ago. Remember?" Fan Bingbing said.

"Oh yeah. What about him?" Zhenyi remembered him too well.

He acted as her spy a few months back and now he was back to Moonlight entertainment. She had heard that many of Du cooperation's projects were canceled and the artists that left for the Du cooperation came back to Moonlight entertainments. Of Course, they accepted back. But with more stricter and effective contracts. It was as if the artists had sold their souls to the Moonlight entertainments and it was still less of a punishment if you ask Zhenyi.

"Well, he asked me if he could pursue me." Fan Bingbing's reply shocked Zhenyi.

"Well...that's... Great." Zhenyi had no words to say. It was...alright.

"Great?" Fan Bingbing scoffed. "What's so great about it?"

"You can get laid now. If you say yes to the guy, you will get laid every day. What's not so great about it?"

"Girls!" Ming Jia said in a warning.

"Of course, the glow on your face clearly tells me that you're freshly fu--"

"Complete the sentence and see how I punch your face." Zhenyi gave her a warning look.

Fan Bingbing turned towards Ming Jia and gave her a funny look. "Mrs. Qin, have you noticed Zhenyi's unusual attire today? I wonder what happened--"

Zhenyi attire was not unusual, it was just too simple for her liking. She was wearing a full sleeve top and jeans. So simple and comfortable. But Fan Bingbing didn't need to know.

"Come on, Bingbing, let's not tease Sis." Aria's voice rang. "By the way, did you know that bro planned a date night for Sis last night. Damn, it was romantic."

"No wonder!" Fan Bingbing muttered and Zhenyi gave both of them a murderous glance.

"Stop teasing her." Ming Jia chided both of them. She curiously looked at Zhenyi and asked with a smile. "Child, tell me how was your date night."

"Godma." Zhenyi groaned.

"Come on, aren't we like best friends? You can always share the details."

"Now. Now. Everyone. Get ready for breakfast." Xin Yichen appeared with a long line of servants and cooked dishes.

Zhenyi thanked her father for rescuing her from such an awkward situation.

"Bá, isn't it too extravagant for a simple breakfast?" Zhenyi asked her father in astonishment.

"Nonsense!" Xin Yichen immediately reacted.

Ming Jia rolled her eyes at his childish behavior. He didn't change at all even after so many years.

"Where is Jie?" questioned Zhenyi, she looked around but didn't find her husband.

"Oh, he said that he will be back in a moment," said Xin Yichen, and occupied a chair beside his precious daughter.

"There he is." Somebody said and Zhenyi turned over to find Long Jie pushing her Yéyé's wheelchair.

Her grandfather was sick and so he rarely came out of his room, but since today everyone was anticipating a family breakfast, he thought of inviting her grandfather too. It would be a change of scenery for the sick old man.

"Good morning, Yéyé. " Zhenyi stood up and kissed her grandfather's cheek to greet him.

"A good morning indeed," her grandfather said, and his dull eyes shone with contentment as he looked over Zhenyi and Long Jie.

'That brat was right. No wonder he was willing to trade for anything for these two to tie the knot.'

He laughed in his heart for what he had planned in his heart for his grandchildren.

Just wait and watch. historical

Everyone greeted the elder Xin and then started the breakfast. It was such a beautiful and peaceful atmosphere for the Xin family. However, it wouldn't stay for long, but for as long as it kept up, they must enjoy it.

"Brother Yichen, your culinary talents haven't rusted a bit even after so many years." Ming Jia was all praises for Xin Yichen and so was everyone.

"How come I haven't eaten dishes made by Uncle Chen before?" Aria wondered out loud. Her nausea disappeared suddenly.

"Because he don't cook too often." Ming Jia informed Aria and then mustered in a low tone. "Well, he used to serve a queen and that queen was too possessive of his talents.So, he don't cook for us humble people."

Long Jie, who was sitting between Zhenyi and Ming Jia, glanced up when heard Ming Jia's loud enough muttering.

He leaned towards Zhenyi's side and asked her in a whisper who apparently had heard Ming Jia's muttering as well, but didn't respond.

"Who's the queen?" questioned Long Jie.

"My mom."

"Oh." Long Jie didn't ask anymore. Xin Yichen once told him that the topic of Tang Reine was a sensitive subject in this house. So, he didn't ask any further.

All of a sudden, the servants of the residence started running here and there, some in shock and some in confusion, but most of them in astonishment.

"What's the noise?" Xin Yichen asked.

Everyone's attention went to the commotion, but no one noticed Zhenyi's appalled body. She saw that thing again.

The thing that she saw last time at the mountain.

It was real. As real as her. She was not wrong.
