Dimensions Apart (Wangxian)

Children

Mingxing’s greyish pink eyes widened in shock as she looked at her innocently pouting little meimei, dumbfounded and exclaimed, “What?! AQing! You Little brat! What are you even saying to mama?!”

Wei Ying sighed dramatically, ignoring his elder daughter's surprised reaction, “I know and I’ve always liked that brat for his honest no-filter remarks and outspoken personality but he hasn’t uttered a word about this for past two years!

And I’m starting to feel really annoyed by this indecisive behaviour of Jingyi.” Wei Ying said, bringing his daughter back into the comfort of his arms and wiping the tears from her small face, affectionately

“Mamma?!!!” Mingxing exclaimed in disbelief, “Y-you know?! And… two years? But I’ve… I’ve started liking Jingyi ge only a few months ago!”

“I, too, have been observing him for more than a year now, mama, and I don’t think he has what it takes to express his feelings in front of Ajie.

He’s a loser and I won’t give my Ajie to someone who can’t even accept his own feelings!” AYun declared, frowning

“AYun? You too?! Observing Jingyi ge for… over a year?!” Mingxing asked, looking at her siblings and mama, baffled, “You… you all know about this? And Jingyi ge… likes me for about two years?! I didn’t know…”

“Ahem! AXing. Didn’t I say just now, parents who love their children, know their feelings, happiness, and worries? It’s just that, I consider AYi as one of my children, too.

And I knew, he started liking you ever since you used the Lan Clan silencing spell on him, which he himself taught you, just an hour earlier, that day,” Wei Ying said, giggling mischievously, “But…I won’t approve of this. Well, not until he comes to me and Lan Zhan and asks for your hand in marriage, himself!

And you, my gentle caring daughter, will not help him or give him any hint! If he really likes you, then he has to take the action, all by himself!”

“Mama is right, AXing. Although Jingyi has been my best friend ever since childhood, I still want him to make some genuine efforts for you and convince all of us here that he likes you and can take care of you, all his life.” Ayuan said in his gentle, calm and deep voice, as he entered the Library Pavilion.

"..."

Mingxing’s pale face burned with embarrassment.

Quickly and silently, she moved and hugged Wei Ying’s back, hid her face and mumbled, “C-can we talk about something else now?! Please?!”

Wei Ying’s back shook as he chuckled silently and said, “Ayuan? Did you talk to them? What are they saying?”

“I did. And they are coming here to talk about it.” Ayuan said, coming to sit next to Wei Ying, AXing and AQing, who were huddled together and asked knowingly, “Hey, dear baby sister, what are doing now? Any new tricks to keep our mama all to yourself?”

Wei XiWang grumbled incoherently, not sparing a single glance to her eldest brother while enjoying the warmth and comfort of her mama’s arms after so many days when suddenly she heard the cute voices of her younger cousins and raised her head to peek over Wei Ying’s shoulder, only to find Lan Mei and Lan Yonggan barrelling towards her and Wei Ying with quick stumbling steps.

“Axian!” Lan Xichen said, pulling his innocent children away from a sulking AQing who was discreetly trying to keep Lan Mei and Lan Yonggan away from sharing her mama’s arms, “We heard from Wangji and Sizhui, you all are going to meet Omega Wei Wuxian and Alpha Lan Wangji tomorrow, right?” he asked, passing a temporarily calm Lan Mei to Wanyin and trying to restrain a guileless Little Yonggan in his lap from jumping towards Wei Ying and Wei Qing, again and again.
