"What did Dad tell you?" asked Xiang Weimin curiously.
"He said grandfather only looks like a stern man. Inside, he is a softie. As for his sister, his exact words were, 'Chenchen is... well Chenchen. You of all people would really love her. She's everything you wanted to be and much more. But beware, my sister is a little mental.'"
Xiang Weimin chuckled, "That's what he used to tell me as well. But I am not able to see how aunt is actually mental. I always wondered if it was really okay for him to call his own sister mental?"
"I'm curious to see why everyone who knew her always told me that I resemble her," said Xiang Wai. "I'm even willing to increase my vacations to see why and how I resemble her."
"From the looks of it, she is more than ready to kidnap us," smiled Xiang Weimin when he recalled Mu Chenyan eyes darting around, cooking up the plan to keep him there.

"Wifey, are we really playing basketball today?"
"Yes," answered Raelle.
"Do you know how to play basketball?"
"I don't," she replied. "I've never been that into sports."
"Then why did you think of playing basketball out of nowhere?" asked Shui Xian in confusion. The question had been on his mind since last night. Even he was surprised when she told Grandfather Xiang that they were gonna play basketball today.
"Don't you like to play basketball?" asked Raelle in return.
And that one question was actually able to answer all of his questions. Because he liked to play basketball, that's why she was gonna play with him.
"How do you know that?" he asked her.
"Bà told me that you're a champion back in school," said Raelle. "I also saw your basketball in the storeroom last time."
"So, you want to accompany me because I like it?" he shook his head to himself. "But baby, you haven't played basketball before."
"What? You won't even teach me?"
Shui Xian instantly went into silent mode. "Why won't I? Now that you've pointed it out, I'm even more looking forward to playing basketball." He took a pause and told her, "But I haven't played in a long while. Hopefully, I'll be able to save my reputation before my wife."
"It's okay," said Raelle. "Even if you play it badly, I'll pretend like I didn't see it."
Shui Xian chuckled at her words. "That's very reassuring."
"Good morning, Raelle!"
Both Raelle and Shui Xian stopped in their track and looked at Xiang Weimin and Xiang Wai. It seemed to be Xiang Weimin who called out to her just now.
"What's good about this morning?" was Raelle's response. She was about to leave but stopped and looked at him, "Do you have selective sight?"
"Huh?" Xiang Weimin was confused.
"If not, why are you ignoring my husband?" asked Raelle. "Can't you see him standing right here with me?"
Xiang Weimin narrowed his eyes at Shui Xian but still said, "Morning, Mr. Shui."
"Morning," replied Shui Xian with an awkward smile. He could already see that this brother-in-law wasn't all that friendly towards him. But he also knew why that was so. Any brother would act like that, no?
After that, Raelle took Shui Xian and continued her morning run. Xiang Weimin and Xiang Wai just followed them at a moderate distance.
"This brother-in-law is actually not that bad," said Xiang Wai. "I heard that grandfather chose him for Raelle. Do you think he'd have chosen a husband for me by now if we were living together?"
"No," replied Xiang Weimin. He had a complicated look in his eyes as he told her, "Raelle had a lot of freedom in her life. I'm not sure why grandfather picked a husband for her but I'm certain he wouldn't have done the same for you."
"Why do you think that?" asked Xiang Wai.
"He isn't really the kind of a person to impose his decisions on others. Dad said grandfather always followed the wishes of grandmother. Even the reason behind why grandfather doesn't talk to Dad was grandmother's last wish."
On the other hand, Shui Xian was looking at his wife helplessly, "What was that?"
"What?"
"Why didn't you just greet them?"
"Who told them to ignore you?" was Raelle's response. "Ignoring one of us is equal to ignoring both of us."
Shui Xian tsked, "I don't know what to do with you."
Raelle pointed somewhere and said, "For now, why don't you go and say hi to your favorite dog?"
Shui Xian looked over and found Coco running towards him barking excitedly. He crouched down and rubbed Coco's fur. Meanwhile, Raelle took a step away to maintain a distance between them. Now, that her dear husband had touched that dog, Raelle was definitely going to keep her distance until he took a shower.
"Hi, Zhenzhen!"
Lin Zhen was taken aback by how Raelle greeted him and almost took a step back. He stopped himself and looked at her, "Hi, Raelle!"
"It seems you're getting used to my presence," said Raelle. "How come that Huang Shuyi didn't seem all that concerned when he met me yesterday?"
"He had always been a lot bolder than me," replied Lin Zhen.
"But being the leader of the group made you a bit more cautious," said Raelle.
Lin Zhen nodded his head in response.
"Come with me, I need your help."
Lin Zhen pointed at himself, "Me?"
"Yes, you," replied Raelle. "Are you helping or not?"
Lin Zhen jumped up, "I'm all here for you, President Raelle! You're little Fai's sister, that makes you our sister. I just don't dare to call you sister with your status."
"Then come and help me," said Raelle as she took him aside.
Shui Xian was left looking at their backs, deep in thought. Why were they suddenly becoming so chummy? And why did his wife was the one to start a conversation? Forget it.. She had her own thoughts that he couldn't possibly know.
