"Honey," he called her softly while leaving little kisses on her neck.
"Mmh?"
"When will we get married?"
This question again?! She had thought that she had escaped it during the day.
"When we can really visit my maiden home." She replied. The last time they were married, they had gone to someone else's maiden home and he couldn't have gone to the He family either. She wanted to marry him with honor and blessings from both of her birth parents if they were still alive. If they were not or if they did not accept her, then she would assume that she had always been a member of the Lu family.
Lu Aotian looked at her silently. How could he ever tell her that they might have already visited her maiden home in the past? That the man she hated with all her strength was possibly her father? What was even worse was that he had her with one of his harem of mistresses. As for which one it was, Lu Aotian wished he did not investigate.
"Aotian, what are you thinking about?" she asked when she noticed he was deep in thought.
"What did you call me?"
A very familiar line.
"Don't change the topic. How can you think of other thinks when I'm kissing you, huh? What or who are you thinking about?" she punched his chest.
"I'm thinking that it's time to enroll Little Jia into kindergarten and make siblings for her." He said.
"How can you think about other women when you're with me?!" she pouted angrily. It didn't matter even if that other woman was three years old. Also, make siblings for Little Jia? She blushed. She would actually love to…perhaps a son that would be a miniature version of Lu Aotian would be perfect.
As if reading her mind, Lu Aotian chimed in. "How about we have a bunch… no, a harem of daughters?"
Bunch? Just how many was he thinking about? Also, what in the world was a harem of daughters?
"That way, you wouldn't have to worry about lacking models for your runway shows. "
"…"
"Oh, and I'll also need a committee of sons to take over Lu Enterprise. It's too tiring to be just me and Shaoting."
"…"
"When the boys are old enough, I'll have them join the army. We can make a team of our own later and protect you."
Wan Jia felt all her strength leave her body. "How many kids are we talking about here?" she raised an eyebrow.
"At least twenty. Ten girls and ten boys. Together with Little Jia, that will be twenty-one. Father would be very happy."
"Are you crazy? You idiot! I can't have all those kids even if I were to start now!"
"Don't worry, we can have them in pairs of twins or groups of triplets." He smiled.
Wan Jia did not know what to do about him. Did he take her for a pig? "I'll tell Little Jia that you plan to have a harem of daughters to compete for her affection." She threatened.
"I think someone else will be jealous if I had many daughters, and that's not Little Jia."
"You…you..I don't want to talk to you anymore. Sit upright. I want to sleep." She pulled his hand away and rested her head on his lap. Lu Aotian watched the little beauty closing her eyes and smiled.
Such a beautiful girl, how could her life be so unfortunate?
He sighed as he rubbed her back softly and used his other hand to make a phone call.
"Hello bro."
Lu Aotian let Wan Jia rest on the sofa gently and went to the balcony. "How's the matter coming?"
"Our initial speculation was right. Yun Jifeng's mother is indeed still alive, and she has been trying to find a chance to get close to her son."
"Mmh." So he was right. That woman had fake her own death and left her son to be raised by Madam Yun. Why was she trying to contact Yun Jifeng, though? Was it so that she could have someone to rely on since her son was the second heir of such a powerful family?
"What else did you find out?"
"Oh, I almost forgot the main point.
Brother, this woman is indeed interesting. She was abducted by General Yun then she had a daughter with him twenty three years ago, but she did not stay with her. Instead, she gave her up to someone else for adoption."
"That doesn't make her Wanwan's mother."
"The main point is, that woman's daughter was born on the same day as sister-in-law."
"Investigate all the details related to that child, including the hospital where she was born."
"Got it, bro. But on a side note, that woman looks a lot like sister-in-law."
"Even Yun Xuan looks a lot like your sister-in-law." He dismissed. His point was that with cosmetic surgery being so common, one could not use looks to determine if two people were related. "Besides, Wanwan has the exact same eyes as Madam Yun. Does that make her Madam Yun's daughter?"
"Got it bro, I'll investigate this matter clearly."
"I'll give you ten days."
The other party almost fainted. Ten days?! Was his brother nuts? Anyway, it was better to just agree and try his best than offend that overlord.
His first lead, among all of general Yun's mistresses, there was only one whose daughter should be of Wan Jia's age. Coincidentally, that daughter was missing. It was best to follow such leads than go for stories like being switched at birth which could have been altered.
