"Jasmine, who thought you to say that?" Jia Li asked with widened eyeballs. She still couldn't get over that shock.
Jasmine could tell her parents change in facial expression. The little girl looked a little confused while replying, "Uhm… grandma and grandpa said it will be nice to have a junior sibling to play with, so I want one."
"Princess, do you want a sister and a brother so badly?" Fu Hua asked in a low chuckle. He seemed to get over this quicker than Jia Li, and besides, he felt it was fun watching the horrific look on his wife's face.
"Mmm… one of my classmates has a younger brother, she showed me his photos on Thursday, he looks so cute!" Jasmine said as she gushed over the pictures of a newborn baby her classmate showed to her at school.
"Oh my goodness!" Jia Li exclaimed with a palm over her face. She didn't know what to say to her little girl as she was exhausted already.
Fu Hua saw that Jia Li was out of it. He knew what was going through her mind, and he decided to talk to the little girl who was still waiting for their response, "Princess, your mummy and I are very busy, but we will give you a sibling soon, okay?"
"Okay…" Jasmine replied with a smile.
"Now go to bed, good girl." Fu Hua said as he tucked her in, while Jia Li watched in awe. She was wondering who would be the one to give birth to another child.
Actually, Jia Li was very busy working on her brand, and she couldn't afford to have a child now, because the stress from being pregnant and from work will take a toll on her.
Jasmine was 4 years old already, and it wasn't a bad idea to have another child soon, the age gap was perfect. But due to the serious work at hand, Jia Li couldn't afford to have a child now.
She has gone through pregnancy and childbirth, and those experiences were enough for her to know it wasn't a joke. And besides, having another child mean, that she would now have two children to worry about.
After Jasmine had slept off, Fu Hua hugged Jia Li to his chest. "When do you think we should have another child?" He asked in a gentle tone.
"Not this year, remember, I'm working on my brand." Jia Li said in a calm reminder.
Fu Hua peered at her face and asked as his lips arched in a small smile, "Does that mean you're ready to have another child?"
Before, Jia Li wasn't ready to have another child, but from the look of things, it seemed she was ready now.
Jia Li hid her face in his chest and replied, "It won't be bad to have another child soon, the time is right."
Fu Hua was so happy with her response that he hugged her again, "I'm glad we can over this journey one more time. If you had said you didn't want another child, I would have accepted it, but we would have to make the whole family understand our decision. But I'm truly happy if we can get another child."
Jia Li smiled and hugged him back. She can remember how he pranked her with the fake pregnancy news from the doctor, she had almost lost her mind because she was not ready back then.
The family of three had a good night's sleep, and during breakfast the next morning, Fu Hua announced to the family of he and Jia Li's decision on having a second child.
"Jia Li is busy working on her brand that would be launched in December, so we can't make another child till sometime around next year."
"What? Are you serious? Sister-in-law, are you launching your fashion brand this year?" FangSu asked in a thrilled manner. She seemed really excited.
"Yes, I am." Jia Li smiled.
"This is good, we have been waiting for this day for 4 years now." Grandfather Fu said with a proud smile.
Meixu shifted her focus from FangSu to Jia Li and said with a happy smile, "This is good, I can now model for you since I didn't get to do it the last time."
"Since this is the case, you can focus on your brand this year." Fu Hee said with a big smile. She knew that Jasmine had delivered the message last night which promoted Fu Hua to bring the topic up now.
"It will also be good if the child can arrive before the end of next year, but still, take your time." Fu ChuHua chipped in.
"I can't imagine what another little Jasmine would do in this family," YingPei said with his gaze at the healthy chubby little girl wobbling down food from her plate.
"This may give me an inspiration for developing another game." Fu Ling said and drank from his glass of freshly squeezed juice.
The joy of a new child in the family was truly the greatest. And from the look of things, it seems that the Fu family has been patiently waiting for another child from Fu Hua and Jia Li.
After breakfast, Jia Li for dragged outside the house by Jasmine who wanted to see Ocean and her grown pups, Avery and Archie.
Jia Li has been busy lately, and no longer had time to play with her dogs, so she hardly saw them frequently.
When Ocean and her pups were released from the cage, they barked and rushed towards Jia Li and the little bun.
"Ocean!" Jia Li called out happily as she knelt with her arms stretched out, to welcome the Ocean into her arms. Ocean was excited to see Jia Li again after several days.
Jasmine was not difficult to see, because she had a playground built outside for her so she usually played with them.
Avery and Archie went to receive hugs and pats from Jia Li after their mother, Ocean gave them the chance.
While Jia Li was busy with the grown pups, Jasmine played with Ocean, after giving her some soft cuddles. Ocean was really being careful as to not pounce on the little girl.
