"I cannot eat anymore." i i said to Jun Yi when she started feeling like her stomach had bulged a little too much to the point of explosion. "A picnic is supposed to be a light snacking event, not a full five course al. I might have to pretend to have a broken leg as well and be carried by the bodyguards."
"Soone." Jun Yi shouted. "Co and carry my sister because she lacks the ability to control her mouth."
i i gave a little shout, rolled on the blanket once and covered Jun Yi’s mouth. She never expected her silly younger sister to shout sothing so ridiculous.
Jun Yi mumbled sothing that i i did not hear.
"Hey, Jun Yi do you think that you are so kind of empress or princess and if you shout "soone," a person will actually show up to do your bidding?" i i removed her hand from her sister’s cheek and pinched it.
Two bodyguards and Muyang showed up!
Jun Yi smiled victoriously. "We have a dad, we don’t need to be royalty."
Muyang’s eyes moved from one daughter to another. "What happened? Who needs to be carried? Please do not tell that we have had another accident of so kind or else I will begin thinking that the bad luck of the Mo’s is following us around."
i i laughed. Of all the people in the world that could accuse the Mo’s of having bad luck, their family should not be on the list. They were the ones that engineered most of the bad luck the family was facing.
"I heard the old man died." Muyang started as he sat down next to them. "Why didn’t you tell us this?"
"I am the one that told dad." Rose shared as she sat down.
They shifted slightly and ford a circle: a father and his daughters.
"It was not important." i i answered, reaching her hand out to get so more dessert. The hand was swatted by Rose.
"You have eaten enough i i, anymore and Thunder will not be able to bear your weight tomorrow." She covered snacks and food around them, one by one.
The chef ca over to put away everything.
"Did Jingzhe tell you that the old man nad him his heir?" Muyang asked i i.
Her eyes widened slightly, which was an obvious answer that he had not told her anything. "He did!"
Muyang nodded.
"Why?" Rose and Jun Yi blurted out at the sa ti.
Muyang shrugged. "Who knows? Maybe he thought the family would rise again as long as Jingzhe was in charge of it. He is the only rich relative they have left and he has our backing and protection. If that was the old man’s sche, I don’t bla him for trying. If I was in his shoes, I would make the sa gamble."
i i shook her head slowly, "I would not. Given how they treated Jingzhe, he will never show them rcy. The fact that he has not ntioned it to ans that he has no plans of saving the Mo’s. If it mattered, he would share it."
i i looked out and saw what her daughter was up to. It made her wince before she raised her voice. "Jun Mingzhu, you have three seconds to put that wombat down."
Mingzhu was trying to stuff a wombat into her bag!
"But it wants to go ho with ." Mingzhu replied.
"Down, now." i i bellowed.
She looked at her daughter intensely, eyes shooting swords and daggers. It was the look she used when she needed to be firm.
Muyang shuddered. "You have beco scary."
"Because I am a mother whose daughter has Jun Yi’s large heart and habits." i i turned her head back, smiling at her father. "If I was not firm on controlling how many pets we had at ho, I would be living in a zoo right now. She tries to bring ho every suffering animal she sees. Look at that wombat, it has more fat than . How is it suffering?"
They all laughed as their heads turned to look at the wombat. No doubt, it was very healthy. Agent Boyle and two others were trying to get it to go away but it was not leaving.
The children were cheering the wombat on, encouraging it to dash and win. The agents were sweating and once in a while casting looks that were seeking help from other people.
But nobody wanted to get up and help. They were all relaxed, watching the sun which was dipping and casting a golden light on the orange falls, making them more beautiful and ethereal.
"Do you rember the last ti we watched a sunset, just the four of us?" Jun Yi asked.
"In my garden, only days ago." i i answered with a frown.
"Way to ruin what I was trying to build up to." Jun Yo muttered.
Rose and Muyang laughed.
"Rember when Jun Yi tried to smuggle that wild Bobcat into the house and mom said no." i i suddenly asked sothing that brought smiles on everyone’s faces.
Rose grinned. "Oh, yeah. She tried to sneak it inside in her bag but it kept yowling and scratching. So she started yowling out and pretending the sounds were coming from her."
"And after being forced to let it go," Muyang chuckled, "She tried to zip line with it from the neighbors house into her bedroom through the window. But it slapped her half way through the journey and she ended up dangling from the zip line with a wild Bobcat hissing and screaming."
"It pissed on her after they were rescued." i i laughed hard, slapping the ground. "And then it glared at her and run off."
Jun Yi rolled her eyes. "I was like four years old. I thought every cat was just a cat."
"And you made a zip line out of socks!" Rose shrieked and laughed so more. "You should have seen everyone pretending that were not noticing what you were up to."
Jun Yi grinned. "Do you know that the Bobcat ca used to sneak into my bedroom once every month an pee on my bed?"
Rose and i i laughed loudly like hyenas.
"That was them." Muyang pointed at his oldest daughters. "They would pour water mixed with so dye on your bed and pretend the Bobcat had co by."
Jun Yi huffed. "I cannot believe you guys. I hand washed my bed sheets every ti because I was afraid mom would find out and move that Bobcat from its ho or sothing."
Rose and i i continued to laugh.
"Your mom knew about it." Muyang revealed. "As did your brothers and all the employees at ho. They would gather in the kitchen and bet on how long it would take you to figure out that the Bobcat was not the one pissing on your bed."
Jun Yi’s head fell back. Everyone in the house had known but her. No wonder the pissing ended after i i left ho.
