"Where do you plan on going with your son?" Xia Meilin couldn't help but ask . It has been two years since her brother's death and she couldn't help but get worried when it came to Li Bingbing .
Xia Meilin knew that the person who would have the hardest time to move on was Li Bingbing .
"Somewhere far . " These were the only words that she said as she looked at the beautiful scenery of the sea .
Xia Meilin narrowed her eyes because of her words . She was about to say something but she kept her mouth shut when she saw Lu Xian Yu approaching Li Bingbing from behind .
He leaned and hugged her from behind which surprised her . "What the . . . ?
Li Bingbing turned and saw the familiar blond hair of the man she was trying to push away .
"Found you . " Lu Xian Yu whispered in her ears . "I can't believe that you're planning to run away from me again . "
Li Bingbing frowned and pushed him away . "Get lost, Lu Xian Yu . "
"Momma, you shouldn't be mean to papa . " Xia Mengjie who followed her father behind quickly said with a pout .
Although it wasn't obvious back then, as Xia Mengjie grew up, the features she inherited from her father became more visible .
At first, Xia Meilin thought it was her brother but . . . her real father was actually Lu Xian Yu .
Both Lu Xian Yu and Xia Sinian had almond-shaped eyes that's why she had mistaken it as a part that was inherited from her brother . Except for her eyes, during Xia Mengjie's infant days, most of Xia Mengjie . . . well . . . Lu Mengjie's features were mostly from her mother's side that's why it wasn't obvious that she had a different father .
Lu Mengjie was holding her brother's hand as she stood in front of her mother with a pout on her lips .
Xia Liqin was the exact replica of Xia Sinian and seeing the little boy made Li Bingbing ignore her daughter . "Come here, Liqin . "
Xia Mengjie pursed her lips as she was once again ignored by her mother . She let go of Xia Liqin's hand before she lowered her head .
Li Bingbing carried her son and made him sit on her lap .
"Mama!" Xia Liqin giggled out loud when Li Bingbing nuzzled his nose .
Ever since Xia Liqin was born, Li Bingbing's attention was mostly towards him .
Xia Meilin sighed heavily at how Li Bingbing was showing complete favoritism towards her children .
Lu Xian Yu went to his daughter and patted her head before he turned to Li Bingbing . "Let's go home . "
"Go home?" The smile on Li Bingbing's face disappeared when she turned to him . "I'm leaving with my son, I-"
"Mama is leaving?" Lu Mengjie's eyes became teary . She quickly went and hugged her mother's leg . "Mama, please don't leave Mengmeng!"
Clueless of what they were talking about, Xia Liqin turned to his sister who looked like she was about to cry . "Jiejie (big sister), what's wrong?"
Lu Xian Yu narrowed his eyes at Li Bingbing, "No one is going anywhere, we will go home together . Li Bingbing, can I have a moment with you?"
Xia Meilin stood up, "I remembered that I baked cookies earlier, do you want to try out auntie's cookies, Qin'er? Mengmeng?"
Xia Liqin's eyes sparkled in delight . "Cookies!" He jumped off from his mother's lap before he went toward her . He then called for Lu Mengjie, "Jiejie, eat cookies! Eat cookies!"
Since Xia Liqin knew a few simple words, he couldn't say the complete sentences of what he wants to say yet but the idea was easily understood . He wanted to eat together with his sister .
Xia Mengjie hesitated since she was afraid that if she let go of her mother, she might leave her .
Knowing his daughter's worries, Lu Xian Yu gave her a reassuring smile, "Sweetheart, your mother and I will just have a small talk, okay? After that, we will go home together . For now, why don't you go and have some snacks with your brother?"
Since Lu Mengjie trusted her father's words, she obediently left with Xia Meilin and her brother .
After the children left them, Lu Xian Yu's face became serious .
----
While watching the two children eat their snacks, Xia Meilin couldn't help but hope that things would get well for their family .
"Auntie Meimei, does mama hate Mengmeng?"
Xia Meilin was taken aback by the little girl's sudden question .
Lu Mengjie turned to her brother who was happily eating the cookies and was ignoring his surroundings . "Mengmeng doesn't like him but Liqin looks a lot like daddy so Mengmeng loves Liqin a lot too . "
Hearing his name, Xia Liqin raised his head and smiled cutely at his sister, he reached out a half-eaten cookie to her, "Want?"
Lu Mengjie leaned and took a bite from the cookie before she grinned, "It's delicious . "
Xia Liqin grinned back at her before he turned and continued eating his snack .
Xia Mengjie's eyes started to become teary as she lowered her head . She can never hate her brother even if he was getting all her mother's attention .
Xia Meilin went and hugged Lu Mengjie closely, "Your mother loves you a lot, Mengmeng . "
She little girl buried her face on her chest as she started crying quietly in her arms .
Lu Mengjie knew that if she cried out loud, her brother will definitely join her in .
"But mama never says that she loves me . . . "
Xia Meilin gently stroked her hair, "Mengmeng, your mother loves you, okay? Never think that she doesn't . She may not say it but she really loves you so much . " She said softly, "It's just . . . Right now, she's going through a lot . "
