"Aunt, be safe. And I hope you come back just in time to see my baby being born." Chen Lihua said with a lovely smile on her face, as her dimples appeared, stunning everyone.

"I will make it in time." Aunt Lin assured as she hugged her one more time before going to say goodbye to the others.

​​

Changying cried as she hugged her mother, she suddenly didn't want her mother to leave her alone in the country, she wanted to follow her. But she had to be strong, for herself, and her sick mother.

Aunt Lin hugged her daughter for what seemed like ages before she let her go after giving her words of encouragement.

"Mum, I love you," Changying confessed as she wiped her tears away and glanced at her mother.

"I love you too my darling..... take care." Aunt Lin said and immediately walked away as if she was being chased.

But she did that so that nobody would see the tears that were on the brink of rolling down her cheeks.

As she walked away, HuiQing walked behind her as he rolled their suitcases behind him.

Aunt Lin was supposed to have traveled some weeks before today, but there was a little delay with tidying up her work in the company, and handing it over to her daughter, so all these caused her trip to be delayed.

Chen Lihua went to stand beside Changying to comfort her. Because of their height difference, Changying was able to lay her head on Chen Lihua's shoulder.

The whole family comforted Changying after her mother left.

"Changying, you can come and stay in the house if you will feel so lonely staying in such a big house by yourself." Lady Chen suggested as she looked at her in pity.

"Thank you, Aunty, but I will be fine by myself," Changying said with an appreciative look on her face.

"Alright, make sure to take care of yourself, and if you ever need anything, you can always find any of us." Lady Chen reminded her before leaving with her husband.

After most of the family members dispersed, Chen Lihua turned to her cousin to ask, "Won't you feel lonely staying alone in that big house?."

"I'll be fine Lihua, and besides, my boyfriend will be coming over to spend a few days with me, so I've got someone to keep me company, you don't have to be worried about me," Changying said to Chen Lihua as a smile appeared on her face.

"Oh!." Chen Lihua said while nodding her head, then she glanced at her with a hidden meaning.

Changying looked a little frightened "Cousin don't give me that look."

"What kind of look?." Chen Lihua asked in surprise.

'Was it that obvious?' She thought to herself.

"Cousin, don't give me that 18+ rated look, I haven't tasted the forbidden fruit yet," Changying revealed before she turned to walk away.

Chen Lihua's eyes lit up as she chased after her "Wow that's great! That means I get to tutor you."

Changying heard the rapid approaching footsteps and increased her pace. 'What's wrong with my cousin? Is this a symptom of pregnancy?' She thought to herself.

"Heh! Changying!." Chen Lihua called out carefully as she looked around.

She was a public figure, so she had to be careful so as not to be seen and surrounded by reporters and fans. That would be a difficult situation for her.

Changying didn't want to stop in her steps for a second, because she didn't want Chen Lihua to catch up with her. She just couldn't understand what was wrong with her cousin. Why on earth would she want to embarrass her in public?

When she came outside the airport, she stood there to wait for Chen Lihua, because it just occurred to her that she was pregnant, and she wasn't supposed to be working so fast so she will not slip.

What if she fell while chasing after me? I will not forgive myself! She regretted walking away because she was scared of being embarrassed. Right now, her cousin's safety was more important than her face.

So as she attempted to turn back into the building, Chen Lihua came out, and at the same time, her bodyguards walked towards them.

"Oh thank goodness you are out," Changying said in relief.

Chen Lihua stared at her, "Why are you acting like a drama queen? Relax, I know my way around, I am not a child that would lose my sense of direction so easily."

"I have to be worried. For a moment, I forgot you are pregnant since there is no physical sign, you know..." Changying said as she glanced at her tummy.

Although Chen Lihua is in her third month of pregnancy, her stomach was still flat, and people wouldn't know she was pregnant.

Chen Lihua followed her sight to her stomach and smiled as she unconsciously rubbed her tummy, but, Changying stopped her in time.

"Cousin don't do that Unless you want to stand at the entrance of the airport to announce to the world that you are pregnant."

"Oh that's right, let's go." Chen Lihua said to her, as she pulled her along, totally ignoring the bodyguards that were following behind them.

"It's just a matter of time before the baby bump becomes obvious, but for now, you just have to look at another obvious place to tell that I'm pregnant." Chen Lihua suggested with a smile on her face.

Changying glanced at her in confusion, not understanding what she was talking about. Then accidentally, her sight stopped at her chest, and only then did she get the point.

"Cousin, you don't expect someone to keep staring at your chest to compare the size now, from before, do you?." Changying asked.

"No...no. I only said that because you are the one. You were searching for a baby bump, so I told gave you another alternative, so instead of finding a baby bump, you found a milk bump." Chen Lihua replied shamelessly.

"Cousin, I will leave now, see you some other time, bye!." Changying bid her goodbye and immediately fled without waiting for a response.

Chen Lihua could only pause in her steps as she glanced at the disappearing figure.

'Finally, you are smiling!.' She thought as she continued staring at her cousin, till her car disappeared from her sight.
