Chapter 147 - Past, present and future

What in the world was most of most's most?

Although Wan Jia wanted to laugh at what her baby just said, her heart was filled with warmth. Ultimately, she was Little Jia's favorite. She smiled at Lu Aotian and made a face gloatingly.

As they ate Lunch, Lin Lihua studied Little Jia in awe. She even took a few more photos.

How even...? If it was only Wan Jia, it could be understood. But Little Jia also looked at least 70 percent like Xia Rou! Was there such a thing as multiple younger generation clonning in the world? The little differences were of course brought about by age difference and Little Jia's slight resemblance to Lu Aotian.

Apart from that and Wan Jia's slight differences from her mother, they would look identical.

Lin Lihua couldn't help but wonder if that was how Wan Jia and Xia Rou looked when they were three.

"Little Wan, your baby looks like she could be your past version. Can I take a photo of you two together?" She asked.

Wan Jia nodded and let her take several photos as she fed the little girl.

After the meal, they also took many more in the garden.

"She seems to like you." Commented Wan Jia when the little girl practically stuck onto Lin Lihua. After playing around a lot, she clingily clutched onto Lin Lihua's clothes and fell asleep. She even rejected her mother who wanted to take her to her room to sleep and nestled comfortably in her aunt's embrace. Her cute sleeping face made Lin Lihua really wish to get married and have a child of her own.

Lin Lihua smiled and thought. 'I'm her aunt. Of course she would like me.'

"Little Wan, I need to prepare for a business meeting tomorrow. I will not stay much longer." She said after some time.

Little Jia was the first to react. She woke up in a daze and looked up to Lin Lihua. "Aunty wants to leave?"

"Mmh, aunty has work to do so aunty is leaving."

She looked down sadly, then thought of something and became cheerful. "Then, aunty will come to play with Little Jia the next time?"

"Yes." She promised and picked the little girl up. She kissed her on the forehead and tickled her neck a little.

Little Jia was happy and returned the kiss onto Lin Lihua's cheek.

Lin Lihua smiled widely. That was the third kiss she had recieved from her niece! Her mother would be very jealous.

...

As expected, Xia Rou felt very jealous. "Why don't I get to see my granddaughter and hold her?" She couldn't stop herself from smiling as she saw the beautiful photos of Little Jia.

At the beginning, she was all neat and pretty then as the day advanced, she had played so much that her hair was now quite messy and her clothes looking crazy.

"If Little Wan is the present, Little Jia is the past and you are the future." Lin Lihua joked.

"Mom, when do you plan to tell her. Hasn't it been very long?"

"When I can make sure that man is put in prison. The evidence I gathered so far does not directly implicate him. He can push the responsibilities to other people." Xia Rou replied. This time, she was not as hopeless as she was months ago. At least she had gathered something. Besides, she knew Lu Aotian was also making his own plans. When General Yun is brought down, the risk would be gone so she would step out and reconcile with her daughter.

Wan Jia bathed her daughter at night and put her to bed, then she went to find Lu Aotian in his room.

"I think I've gained enough tips from Grandfather Qian."

Lu Aotian pulled her into his arms. "So you want to enroll into a competition?"

"Yeah. The Golden Hand Awards." That was the next designer Awards and it would happen in just over one month. That was coincidentally just enough time for her to prepare.

In fact, Grandfather Qian had been grooming her for this lately. He knew that this would be a very important point in her career.

"Under what studio?" Lu Aotian asked.

Wan Jia rubbed her head against his chest, igniting a fire as she said, "that's where I may need president Lu's help."

"Mmh...you mean you finally made up your mind to join Elite Fashion World?"

"Mmh." She said timidly. She had not wanted to, but she had no choice as most of the other studios wanted weird terms such as to make her sign a life contract, make her work behind the scenes or make her the head designer. She only wanted a temporary contract because her ultimate goal was to start her own studio. These crazy people!

Well, instead of getting into arguments with unreasonable CEOs, she may as well get help from her man.

"It's just temporary. I still want to start my own studio when I gain enough experience." she said.

"You can just sign a lifetime contract. Your studio will be a subsidiary of Lu Enterprises." He reasoned.

"What about Elite Fashion World?"

"Don't worry, EFW will be the husband, your studio will be the wife." He said. He was serious about it.

Some time ago, he had painstakingly drafted for her a one in a million contract. It would last up to a century after her death. That went to say that even if she died and reincarnated, the new her would still belong to Lu Enterprise.
