As Jasmine babbled on and on, Avery and Archie barked, in a way of communicating with her. Jia Li was all smiles as she watched them play.
Fu Hua was busy in the workshop, so he couldn't join his wife and daughter outside. As the Boss of FJ, he was constantly following up with trends and finding innovative ideas for the clothing designs.
In the backyard, Mei sprayed the mat on the grass and put some of Jasmine's toys on them, while Jia Li put the little bun on the mat, with the pets, surrounding them.
Since Jasmine could sit on her own, Jia Li let her play with her toys, while she lay beside her with a fashion magazine in her hand.
It wasn't that cold outside but Jia Li still wanted them to spend a few minutes outside before going in for dinner. In order to keep up with time, Jia Li told Mei to tell her when 15 minutes was up, so they could all go back inside.
The little girl was all covered up, and she looked so cute as she babbled away. Jia Li couldn't help glancing at her with a smile.
"You sure talk a lot! Give me a kiss." Jia Li said while pointing to her cheek. The little bun giggled and continued hitting her toy with her hands.
"Jasmine, I want a kiss! Kiss mummy." Jia Li said as she leaned towards the little girl. Jasmine was looked excited as she brought her hands towards her mother's face and touched it.
The little bun stared at a few strands of her hair in amazement and went on to touch it.
"What are you…" Before Jia Li could finish her statement the little bun had already leaned in to put the few strands of hair in her mouth.
"Yah! Stop it!" Jia Li said in a commanding tone but it looks like the little girl wasn't going to listen because she didn't flinch.
Mei who was standing by the side had to come to the rescue but that made the little bun start crying.
Finally, Jia Li sat up and chided the little bun. "Jasmine, why are you crying? You can't eat hair, it's not good!"
Jasmine continued to cry and that alone gave Jia Li a big headache.
"Why are you crying, no one hit you. Do you want your daddy and your grandma to think I hit you?"
Ocean and her pups had their gazes on Jasmine and they made sounds of protest. They couldn't inch closer to comfort the little girl because Jia Li forbid them from climbing on the mat.
Jasmine reduced her wails to sobs as she put her fingers inside her mouth. Jia Li sighed seeing how pitiful her daughter looked. Not being able to stand it, Jia Li lifted her from the mat.
"It's time to go back inside the house." Jia Li said as she comforted the little girl a bit.
When Jasmine stopped crying, Jia Li talked to her in a soft loving tone. "Jasmine, you can't eat Mummy's hair and you can't eat other people's hair too, it's dirty."
Jasmine had her eyes locked on her, it was as if she was trying to make sense of what her mother was saying.
"Did you hear me?" Jia Li asked but all she got was the same gaze from the little bun, shortly before she looked away.
Ocean, Avery and Archie followed Jia Li to the entrance of the house, before following her instruction to return to their kennel.
The little bun who has just been warned by her mother was currently trying to eat her mother's jacket, while still in her embrace.
No matter what Jia Li said to her, the little bun wouldn't stop and when she pushed her face upwards, the little bun started to cry again.
"You haven't told me what you want from me." Jia Li said with a tired gaze as she climbed up the stairs with the little bun in her arms.
Thinking that Fu Hua was still in the workshop, she went there to look for him but she didn't find him, so she went to his bedroom, only to see him lying shirtless on his bed and his phone in his hand.
When Jia Li walked in, Fu Hua raised his head to look at her with a smile. "You're back?"
"Yes, I brought your daughter for you." Jia Li replied as she walked up to the bed to hand over the little bun to him, who knew that Jasmine would refuse.
Fu Hua chuckled when Jasmine refused to come down, as she held onto her mother's clothes tightly.
Jia Li on the other hand did not find it funny. "Are you kidding me?"
Jasmine hid her face in Jia Li's chest and refused to look up. The little bun was playing games with her mother.
Fu Hua saw that Jia Li was annoyed and said to her with a smile, "You didn't bond well?"
"As if? I chided her for eating my hair and she started crying, so I had to bring her inside." Jia Li replied.
From Jia Li's response, he could tell that the mother and daughter pair were at odds. He understood what Jasmine was trying to do. The little child who would be 6 months old soon, knew she had offended her mother and didn't want to leave her embrace.
The little bun was really too smart for her age.
Jia Li saw this, as Jasmine punishing her for not letting her eat her hair and jacket but Fu Hua saw and thought differently.
Fu Hua glanced at his little bun and couldn't help chuckling. "Princess, come to daddy." He said as he touched her little fingers.
Jasmine glanced at him but still refused to move. Jia Li sighed and said to her, "Jasmine, I want to you use the bathroom, when I come out, I will give you some milk, is that okay?"
"Are you bribing her with her food?" Fu Hua asked with a smiling gaze.
"Shhhh… she can hear you… it's not as if I have too many choices. I don't want her to start crying, it's so annoying.." Jia Li replied.
