Chapter 70 - What Am I Thinking?

"Mom, you should come too. You have also not gone out for a very long time."

Little Jia stared at Ning Wie with starry eyes.

"Huh, how can I come, won't I be..."

She was about to continue when Yuan Meng interjected from behind.

"Sister Wie, Little Jia is right we must all go, it will be a nice family trip."

Yuan Meng smiled and patted her shoulder.

Ning Wei was dumbfounded at her words and was unable to say anything as she nodded.

'She is not even displeased by me coming with them, she will have a nice time after so long with her husband but she is still happy to bring me with them.'

"Sister Wie, don't deny, we will have a lot of fun after so long."

Yuan Meng consoled her.

'They must be going to some park since Qiqi is so excited about it.'

Yuan Meng thought and glanced at Ye Qian who was still playing with Little Qiqi as he tickled her sometimes.

'I don't think he will be angry at this since Little Jia is asking for it.'

Yuan Meng glanced at Little Jia who was also giggling as she sat on Ye Qian's lap.

"Hehe, Papa stop tickling Jia. Hehe."

Ning Wei also glanced at them and sighed.

'He doesn't seem to be annoyed by me coming with them, so better I go.' 

Ning Wie turned to Yuan Meng and smiled.

"Alright, we will go then."

"So where are we going?"

Ning Wei asked as she nodded.

"Huh, I don't know it either, only Qiqi and Qian'er know, I think it would be some park or something."

Yuan Meng shook her head and continued.

"Huh if we are going to some park shouldn't we make some preparations for it, like some snacks and fruits."

Ning Wei pondered and asked.

"There is no need to make snacks and other things we will go to the park but later not we are going just to enjoy."

Ye Qian walked to them while carrying both Little Jia and Little Qiqi in his arms and said.

"If you say so, but where are we going."

Yuan Meng tilted her head and asked in confusion, she couldn't point out where they were going either apart from the park.

"Get ready soon we will go after half an hour."

"Alright, but we need to go over Sister Wie's house for her and Little Jia have to wear clothes."

Yuan Meng suggested that since they were going out it was not good for Ning Wie to wear the same clothes.

"That will do, we will first go to Little Jia's house and then from there to the..."

He was about to continue when Little Qiqi placed a finger on his lips.

"Papa, what are you doing, you will spoil the surprise."

Little Qiqi exclaimed and grinned.

"Oh my bad, Papa was about to spill the fun."

Ye Qian poked out his tongue and smiled.

"Huh you two, why are you keeping it like a secret or something."

Ning Wei was amused and asked.

"Mom let it be, Jia will like to whatever place Papa takes Jia."

Little Jia smiled and placed her head on Ye Qian's shoulder.

"Oh, we have a traitor here, quickly changing sides huh."

Yuan Meng chuckled at her and pinched Little Jia's nose.

"Hehe aunt Meng, Jia is not a traitor."

Little Jia giggled and turned to Ning Wie.

"Mom, what happened to you, why is your face red?"

"Huh no, nothing. I will go to the washroom."

Ning Wie stammered and skipped out of the kitchen.

"Huh, what happened to her?"

Ye Qian raised his brows and asked Yuan Meng.

"No idea."

He turned to Little Jia who had her lips pursed.

"Ok let her be, she might have something to do."

"Ahem!"

Yuan Meng was about to continue when the four heard someone clearing their throat.

The little girls peeked over Ye Qian to look.

Yuan Meng and Ye Qian also turned to see Jiao was sitting on the chair a little annoyed.

"So did you guys finally realized that I was here too?"

Jiao sneered as she narrowed her eyes.

"Oh, Jiao we forgot that you were here since there was so silent."

Yuan Meng mumbled.

Jiao's lips twitched listening to Yuan Meng.

"Sister Meng doesn't care for me and didn't even ask for me to come with you. This Jiao has no one to be with, boohoo"

Saying that Jiao closed her eyes and tried hard to shed some tears, but to no avail.

Yuan Meng shook her head for her fake cry and called.

"Jiao I don't think you should come with us, it's better you find someone to date with!"

"Boohoo Sister Meng doesn't even care for me now."

"Is this how you treat your little Jiao when your husband came back?"

Jiao continued to rube her eyes which had turned red so far due to her 'crying'.

Yuan Meng rolled her eyes.

"Huh me, how is this related to me."

Ye Qian raised her brows and glanced at the little girls.

"Did I do anything?"

He asked them.

"No Papa, Big Sister Jiao is always like this, don't mind her."

Little Qiqi consoled him as both of them shook their heads.

"Papa let's go you have to find some clothes to go out."

Little Qiqi said.

Ye Qian nodded and walked to the bedroom.

Once they were out Yuan Meng glanced at Jiao and asked while rolling her eyes.

"Is your acting finished cheeky girl, Qian'er is gone now?"

"What are you saying, sister Meng."

Jiao glanced at her in confusion and asked.

"Don't tell me you were not here just to eat the food."

Yuan Meng was looking at her as if seeing a monkey.

Jiao's eyes widened and she stuttered.

"Sister Meng, I...I can explain!"

Jiao felt embarrassed and looked at the ground as she continued.

"No need to explain things, I know you just want to look beautiful and young given you are a woman, I don't have anything to be angry about you. Just don't tell these things out anywhere."

Yuan Meng walked near her and said in a calm manner.

"Yes sister Meng, Sister Wie also said me the same thing."

"So you also told this to her?"

"Umm."

"Ok, that's fine. Now you must have some work in the school right?"

Yuan Meng walked to the door and asked her as she stopped.

"Hmm."

Jiao nodded.

"You can come tomorrow at the old age home, there is a small party, in return of Qian'er."

"Ok sister Meng I will come tomorrow to help you guys."

Jiao smiled and went to pick up the jug of water.

"Hmm."

Yuan Meng nodded and walked out.

"Sigh. Sister Wei."

She sighed and looked at Ning Wie who was standing at the balcony.

__________

A while ago after Ning Wei ran with her red face she barged directly into the bathroom and closed the door shut.

Her breathing became heavy and her face flushed.

"Why would I think in such a way?"

She asked herself as she gazed at her reflection in the mirror.

"Jia, you had to call me Mom and him Papa at the same time."

"Why am I feeling like a teen in love again, this is so annoying."

Ning Wie smiled mockingly.

"Huh, there is nothing wrong with him, it's just what I am thinking."

"She calls him Papa, but Yuan Meng is not annoyed then why should I feel my heart tingle when she called him Papa after calling me, Mom."

"Wei what are you thinking, there's no such thing, it's all your assumptions. He is a simple man, umm with some powers."

Splashing some cold water and washing her face, Ning Wei took a deep breath and tidied her clothes and walked out.

She saw that there was no one and so walked to the balcony and took a few breaths of fresh air.

She gazed at the surroundings and had a melancholic expression on her face.

"If Jia is happy then this is the least I can do."

"She had always yearned for her father, but I was not able to give her the same love, I know other men would not treat Jia like how Ye Qian is treating her, it's like she is his own daughter, how can I think of such things. It must be because I am too alone nowadays and not able to focus on things lately."

Saying that she heard some giggles and knew that Ye Qian and the girls were out.

She didn't want to face him so stood in the balcony for a while and walked after she saw Yuan Meng follow them in.
