"When I checked the Qin family at that time as well, I didn't see anything linking them up with the Huang family, although, at that time, I wasn't able to find out the family Jia Li's mother was from. Do you think the Huang family is related to Mrs. Qin?" Grandfather Fu asked.
"I have no idea. When are you meeting with them?" Fu Hua asked. This whole thing came as a surprise to him and hearing his grandfather talk about this, reminded him of what Mu Keer had said to Jia Li a few years ago.
"Saturday in the morning. I asked them to come during brunch hours. For now, keep this information away from Li girl, until we find out the purpose of the Huang family's visit." Grandfather Fu instructed.
When Fu Hua went back to the bedroom, he saw Jia Li lying there with a wedding magazine in her hands.
Fu Hua's mood changed for the better as he went to join her on the bed, "Are you preparing for our wedding?"
Jia Li smiled and replied, "Why not? I'm looking for the style for my bridesmaids' dresses. I want them to have a particular style, so I've got to make an effort to find the best design for it."
"You are a fashion designer and you are looking for styles? You can just design something and give it to the stylist to make use of." Fu Hua said as he joined her in looking at the styles on the magazine.
"I know, I want to combine the style I have with something else. Latest, these dresses will be ready in 2 weeks from the production date." Jia Li replied.
Fu Hua thought of something and said, "Can I see your childhood photo album?"
"Why would you be interested in my childhood photo album, are you trying to make fun of me?" Jia Li asked as a slight smile appeared on her face.
Fu Hua pinched her cheeks and said, "You should be confident in your looks and besides, I have seen a few of them."
"Who said I'm not confident in my looks? Actually, indeed, I'm not a sort after beauty but I was quite cute as a baby. Wait here, I will get the photo album for you." Jia Li said as she closed the magazine and passed it to him, before jumping off the bed and running into the inner room.
Fu Hua smiled at her childish acts and said in a low tone, "Why is she so excited to show her baby pictures to me?"
Jia Li was not very beautiful like the supermodels but she had her own charm. And she even became prettier after she gave birth to Jasmine. Jia Li's most proud photos were the ones taken when she was a baby because she was chubby and looked more cute then.
The smile on Fu Hua's face slowly disappeared when he thought of the possibility of Jia Li's mother being related to the Huang family. But he quickly changed his facial expression when Jia Li returned to the bedroom with a big photo album in her hands and with an excited smile on her face.
"I'm going to show you how cute and calm I was as a baby." Jia Li said as she sat on the bed and opened the first page of the photo album.
There were four pictures on the first page of the album. Jia Li pointed at the first picture there and said, "My mum was 4 months pregnant here but you wouldn't know unless you see her bare stomach, at least that's what she told me."
"She looks pregnant to me." Fu Hua replied with his gaze on the first picture.
"How?" Jia Li asked with an interested gaze on him. She really wanted to know how he could tell her mother was pregnant from that picture that didn't give much information.
"Because I have gotten someone pregnant before and I lived with her throughout the 10 months pregnancy before she gave birth." Fu Hua said with a smile.
Jia Li chuckled hard at the way he chose to explain that he knew about the changes in a pregnant woman.
"I can't believe you were talking about me." Jia Li said in laughter. "Who else, would I be talking about?" Fu Hua asked with a smiling gaze.
"Let's look at the second picture. My mum was almost 9 months pregnant here. At that time, she was too lazy and couldn't do anything in the house, so all the work in the house was left to my dad." Jia Li said. Going down the memory lane, brought a smile to her face.
"Your stomach was bigger here when you were a little past 8 months." Fu Hua pointed out.
Jia Li hit his finger away and said with a frown, "Are you trying to say that I have a big stomach?"
"That's not what I said. Let's go to the next picture." Fu Hua said.
The next picture was of Jia Li's parents carrying her in swaddled clothes. "I was born a few hours before this picture was taken." Jia Li said.
"You look thin." Fu Hua said and Jia Li replied, "That's the reason my mum's stomach wasn't big during pregnancy but as she breastfed me exclusively for 2 months, I started becoming chubby."
Fu Hua recalled something funny and asked her, "Tell me the truth, how long were you exclusively breastfed?"
Jia Li looked him in the eyes and said, "Why are you asking?"
"You look guilty already. You used to complain about our daughter drinking breast milk till she was a year old but who knows how long you drank breast milk for." Fu Hua said.
Jia Li immediately started to defend herself, "Well my case is different. My parents never planned to have another child after me because they only wanted to give me all their love, so my mother fed me breast milk for a long time that I can't remember."
Fu Hua took the photo album from her and closed it while asking, "How was your case different from our daughter, you haven't said anything yet."
