Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

"Uncle Jin!"

"Ailun!" Jin gleamed with bliss. He bent on his knees and hugged him. "It didn't look like that in the video calls but you are so tall!"

Ailun brightened with the compliment but nodded with a serious demeanor. "I am six years old now. I got to be tall."

Jing snorted. "Brat. He is clearly happy but showing otherwise."

The little boy narrowed his eyes. "Grand uncle Jing, the last I know your husband is still angry with you."

Yukito's other twin, Yukira choked. "Yeah he is still living in my room. Do I smell a divorce coming up?"

"Don't be so harsh! And you brat! Who is the one who made him angry at me in the first place!?" Jing demanded an answer.

"You," Ailun coolly snorted.

"You…!"

Liu Hai shook his head. "Where did I go wrong in raising you?"

"Zip it, you old man!" He cried. "You go and count your limited number of days that you have got to live."

"Oh shut up! I am easily going to outlive you! Just look at you. You already seem to be having a hunched back. At your age, I was still very much active in bed-"

"Hai!!!" Liu Chunhua warningly glared at him. "At least think of the fact that Ailun is here!"

Ailun calmly said, "It's okay, Great Grandma. I have heard many more unspeakable things for my age. I am used to it now."

Liu Hai nodded in appreciation.

Jun felt his wife slowly trying to disappear in the background, but he dragged her back. "It's you and Grandpa, right?"

"I am a writer. I just tell my son pure stories."

"I highly question the purity of those stories," he pressed his lips.

Jin ruffled his head and whispered. "Keep your distance from the clowns, okay? You know who clowns, right?"

Ailun obediently nodded.

The chaotic gang shuddered at once. "Jin, why do I feel that you just dissed at us!?"

"You're imagining things."

Ailun then finally met the two members of the family he was always so excited to meet in person.

"Ai-chan! Jun-cute!" He failed his arms towards them, his eyes sparkling gold. The two cats jumped down and softly purred beside him.

He hesitated at first to touch them but Jin encouraged him with a smile. "Try rubbing the top of their heads. They like it."

Little Ailun, in all seriousness, gradually extended his hand towards them. He softly poked on Ai-chan's head with his index finger and slightly ruffled it.

*Meow*

Ai-chan purred with joy and so did Jun-cute when it was his turn. Ailun looked beamingly at his uncle and the latter chuckled. "See, I told you right?"

Ailun blushed and his cheeks turned warm, his heart fluttering with immense bliss in getting to meet his new furry friends.

"Hey Ailun, don't you hog Uncle Jin and the cats to yourself!"

Ailun's brow twitched.

They made their way out already?

Two pairs of footsteps rapidly ran down the hallway and stopped with their hands on their waist.

Jian looked down at his boys and blinked. "There you are. I wonder where you two disappeared."

Behind them followed Leina who released a sigh. "Apparently, they got locked."

The six years old elder brother, Aang, cried his tears of injustice. "It wasn't an accident. Ailun locked us out! It was his devious plan to be the first one to meet Uncle and the cats!"

"Devious? Where did you even learn that word?" Leina scratched her chin.

Their second son, Taio, who was four years old, said with pride, "Aunt Ai. She teaches us cool words."

Ai nodded with the same pride. "You two are such fast learners."

Nian scoffed. "Cannot be faster than my precious daughter, Yina! Yes, behold you all and bow your heads before me! My wife, Xing Bi, saved this family from collapse, ahahaha! Not Jian or Jun or Nuo, it's ME and MY XING BI hohoho~"

Jian and Jun's mouths twitched at the same time.

"Hah. Is that jealousy I see in your eyes?" Nian smirked. "It's my daughter, mind you, MY DAUGHTER, who is the light and shine of this family~"

It was always the case with the Liu family that for some reason, they always had boys in every generation. Girls were rare, so it would become an event of celebration like a festival when a daughter would be born.

Jun and Ai had Ailun, Jian and Leina had two sons, Aang and Taio and Nuo, who was now happily married to Siying, also gave birth to a son, Muyang two years ago.

Naturally, it was and still is a moment of great pride and happiness for Nian that Xing Bi gave birth to a girl.

Jian glared at him. "Are you not conveniently forgetting your one-year old son?"

Right on the cue, Xing Bi slowly climbed down the steps with a sleeping Baihu in her arms. His chubby cheeks peacefully rested on her shoulder.

A minute later, the last missing person of the family arrived too, carrying a little girl in his arms. Yina, Nian and Xing Bi's daughter, was laughing as she played with Jinhai's hair.

Nian covered his mouth with his palm and tears flowed out of his eyes incessantly. "My lovely daughter…"

He collapsed on the floor on his knees. "Is this heaven? Every day, she looks more and more adorable than before! I still remember how I held her in my arms for the first time in the hospital…She was so delicate. She is still delicate as a fairy! Ah, I feel so blessed…"

I will seriously feed him to the sharks! Jun and Jian cursed him together.

Yina brightly said, her bubbly aura matching that of her mother's who would be happy just like this, "Uncle Jin, look, look, Grandpa gave me pocket money!"

It was a thick wad of cash. Very thick wad of cash.

The men of the family almost fainted with that sweet heart attack.

An angel…Everybody spoke in unison.

Aang clutched his chest. "Grandpa! How come I didn't get my pocket money?" He cried.

"You are not my granddaughter," Jinhai calmly said.

Aang and Taio looked betrayed. To pacify their hurt heart, they ran towards the cats for some solace.

Nana rolled her eyes.

Jin smiled. "Ah, that takes me back to my childhood days. The only difference is the daughter part has been replaced by granddaughter."

Jinhai nodded without any remorse.

Xing Bi handed Baihu over to Nian, who was still sobbing over his daughter's cuteness. "Baihu, you are cute but Yina is a fairy, okay?" He sniffled.

She walked towards Jin along with Leina and simultaneously squeezed his ears. Ai joined in by pinching his nose. "You made us wait for too long, brother-in-law!"
