"Hello, Grandfather Qian."

The old man sounded overjoyed on the other side. "Congratulations my Little Wan, your fashion show was the best I have watched in recent years."

"Thank you, it's because my mentor taught me well."

The old man was even happier. "That's one sweet tongue. Little Wan, you can still come to me if you want to learn even more tips on fashion design. There's something I noticed about your male outfits that needs a little improvement."

It had been so long since she last spoke to her mentor that she almost forgot about his existence. She gladly agreed to go and learn a few things about male outfits.

"Aside from that little hiccup, my student is doing very well. As a mentor, I am very proud."

The way he complimented her was as though he was complimenting his own granddaughter.

…

Meanwhile, the Lin residence was exploding in excitement.

Lin Zhou even brought out his oldest and most priced wine to celebrate.

"Can you believe it? Our Lihua finally has a boyfriend! Lihua, tell us more about him quickly!" Xia Rou was walking on air.

"Yes, quickly tell mommy and daddy. He is very handsome and seems to be from a good background but I still want to hear it from you. Also, you child, why didn't you tell us about him before?" Lin Zhou was on his wife's side as usual.

Lin Lihua shook her head speechlessly. "Dad, Mom, I already told you. Henry Blanc is not my boyfriend."

Xia Rou didn't let her off. "You are lying. I saw the way you guys are looking at each other and you were no different from a couple madly in love. At the time, I even thought there was something wrong with my eyes and I was seeing things."

Lin Lihua sighed. "That's because there really is something wrong with your eyes. You need to see an optician as soon as possible or else you will keep seeing things forever."

"Are you saying that I saw wrong? I will ask Little Wan right away."

"…"

You don't believe me when I say that man is not my boyfriend, but you will believe Little Wan about the same thing?

Xia Rou was not joking. She called Wan Jia and started a barrage of complaints. "Little Wan, why did you not tell mummy that your sister has found herself a boyfriend? This is such huge news!"

Wan Jia's answer shattered all her excitement. "Mom, they are not in a relationship."

"Oh…"

"However…"

Xia Rou's hope returned. "However what?"

"They look so good together. It's all about sis falling for him. He's chasing her."

Xia Rou was overjoyed. She had heard of many men chasing her daughter but she felt this Henry Blanc had a high chance of winning her Lihua's heart.

The phone was on speaker.

Lin Lihua groaned at the side. Little Wan, just you wait!

Xia Rou used the chance to ask about something else. "How is Little Jia? Is she doing fine?"

"She is doing fine. She doesn't look sick in the slightest."

After chatting with her mother for a while, Wan Jia hung up.

In just a few days, it would be one full month since Little Jia was diagnosed. She should take another pregnancy test, right? Perhaps a miracle had happened within the month.

Sadly, her period came even before she had the chance to buy the pregnancy test kit.

She had never hated her period so much before. Didn't they do it when she was supposed to be ovulating? Hadn't she been taking highly recommended tonics and supplements?

To avoid someone intentionally giving her contraceptive drugs, she had asked Doctor Cui to test all of them. There was no possibility of having taken anything that could prevent pregnancy. Why, then, was it that she wasn't pregnant?

___

In country V.

"Father, do you know? Lu Meili was diagnosed with Leukemia. It was all over the news in country C but it was pulled down. However, I still believe the possibility is very high."

"Who is Lu Meili?" the dark-haired man asked as he took a sip of wine.

"Little Jia, Wan Jia's daughter. Wan Jia can only save her by having another child."

The man took in the shock he had just received from his son's words by taking a huge swig of wine.

The son approached him carefully. "I can be of help. If I go back to Country C and give her my new pill, she could become pregnant faster and Lu Meili will have a higher chance of survival."

"Shut up! Do you think Lu Aotian will not kill you as soon as you arrive in that country? Don't forget you tried to trick him. Send someone else instead."

"If I send someone else, Wan Jia will never trust them. Besides, if she were to trust other people that we send, we would have received good news long ago. I still think she didn't open the case you sent her."

"And you expect her to trust you, the man who tricked her and her husband?"

The son kept quiet. He didn't need to get his father's consent. His priority now was to save Little Jia. He knew it was not going to be easy but he had to try, right. Perhaps he should use someone close to Wan Jia instead. Someone like…Lin Lihua or Su Ling.
