The dirt was crushed under the knees of the little toddler as she crawled in the rose brush with no care. Her chubby hands took a fist full of brown soil as she flung it into her lap. She exclaimed giggles before clapping in glee.

"Princess Jiaoxian, you need to stop dirting around all the time because you gonna tempt me to!" Elise said as she dug into the rose bush picking her daughter up who only clapped in excitement, Elise shook her head fondly.

"Now let's you cleaned up before we go to your aunt's graduation!" Elose said caressing her long brown curls tied up with pink and white bows that adorned her head. "Oh aren't you the sweetest!" Elise cooed out digging her neck into Jiaoxian's neck as Jiaoxian giggled.

"Mommy! Look what me and daddy got you!" Elise heard her son say as he ran up to her holding a bonquet of freshly picked lilies. Quànrui not so far behind him.

"Oh isn't that beautiful! Thank you Lian." Elise said patting her five-year old who smiled fondly heavily resembling Quànrui. "Hey buddy, why don't you go inside and get ready for Auntie Mary's graduation?" Quànrui said as Lian gasped excitedly "Right! See you soon Mommy!" Lian said as he ran up to a servant who held his hand leading him back to the manor.

Quànrui approached Elise and Jiaoxian and smiled at Elise before his eyes drifted to Jiaoxian who resembled her mother and auntie in terms of looks. "Oh what were you doing here? You're so dirty aren't you Princess?" Quànrui cooed out as he tickled Jiaoxian who giggled.

"We should get ready for Mary's graduation, otherwise she'll kill us." Elise said as Quànrui pretended to tremble in fear " She's still as feisty as all those years ago." Quànrui said as Elise nodded "Extremely." Elise said putting Jiaoxian down who started walking around the garden.

Quànrui smiled fondly at Elise who looked at them grinning. "What?" Elise asked as Quànrui placed his hands on her waist. "Have i ever told you how beautiful you are?" Quànrui said as Elise chuckled wrapping her arms around his neck.

"You tell me that everyday." Elise said as Quànrui nodded in agreement "Because i need you to know that you're absolutely gorgeous." Quànrui said causing Elise to blush as Quànrui held her closer.

"Don't you think Jiaoxian needs a younger sibling?" Quànrui said as Elise widened her eyes "She's two years old." Elise said as Quànrui shrugged "It doesn't matter, please." Quànrui pleaded as Elise grinned

"Absolutely not Prince Quànrui." Elise said grinning as Quànrui pouted "Don't call me that!" Quànrui whined as Elise laughed before wiggling out of Quànrui's hold.

"Hey! Come back, I'm not done holding you!" Quànrui whined out as Elise dodged his embrace. "We have to get ready." Elise urged on as Quànrui pouted, Elise cooed before giving him a soft peck on the lips.

"You're cute." Elise said as Quànrui grinned "Because I'm cute, can you give me one more kiss?" Quànrui reasoned as Elise shook her head "No ways Quànrui, let's go get ready."

Elise said walking back into the manor as Quànrui followed behind her.

"I think i need one more kiss before we get ready."

"No Quànrui."

"Oh c'mon Elise, i can't function without it."

"One more kiss will lead to another child, I'm quite fine thank you."

"Dad says that's a good thing."

"Quànrui!"
