Mrs Huo placed and arranged the breakfasts on the table then she removed her apron and returned to the kitchen, she walked out of the kitchen, expecting them to have been seated on the dining table, she stood akimbo when she returned to the dining and they still weren't out of their rooms yet.

"Yu Yan, Li Na, Li Jing!" she called aloud, today is the first day for Li Na and Li Jing to start their school in the same city with their grandparent since their parents have travelled abroad so she had woken up very early to prepare their breakfast in order to prepare them for school as early as possible.

​​

The trio walked out of their bedrooms and walked to the dining with a drowsy look on their faces and their body showing how reluctant they are to leave their bed, she was surprised to see Yu Yan in her mickey mouse sleepwear and the twins still in their nightwear, as the trio took their seat on the dining table, she watched them with her hands crossed on her chest.

"How are you all still in your nightwear, don't tell me that you haven't taken your bath yet?" she questioned with a frown on her face.

"No," the trio chorused

"What!" she slammed in her hand on the table in disbelief

"Yu Yan, what are you going to do if they are late to school on their first day?" she questioned in disappointment.

"Mum, you don't have to worry about that, they still have about an hour and thirty minutes to get ready, as long as they finish their breakfast in time they can still make it," Yu Yan responded as though she had already made her calculation even though it is the opposite, because of her nightmare, she slept longer than she had planned to but thankfully, she still had some time before she takes them to school and resume work while the twins nodded in affirmation.

"If that is the case then you had better dig in as fast as you can," her mother replied then she took her seat on the dining table and wished out their food on their plate before passing it to each of them.

"By the way aunt, why haven't I seen your car since we arrived?" Li Na asked after taking a bite out of the fried dough stick which she held with her hand, earning an irritated look from her grandmother even though she isn't aware of it.

"Li Na, why are you holding the dough stick in your hand?" her grandmother queried with a scolding, she took another bite from it and dropped it back on her plate with her mouth pouted, she has always been scolded by her hand for doing the same thing but it had already become a habit for her.

Yu Yan sneakily dropped her's on her plate before her mother notices that she is also holding the dough stick in her hand.

"Birds of the same feather," she remarked while eyeing Yu Yan who averted her mother's glare knowing that she had been caught.

"You should be laying a good example for her but you are also doing the same thing she is doing, the both of you need to learn from Li Jing, just look at him using his chopstick skillfully," she scolded, while the both of them turned to look at Li Jing who was using his chopstick skillfully as his grandmother praised but he didn't seem to be aware of his surrounding as he concentrated all his attention on the food.

He raised his head while slurping the rice noodles, when he felt the eyes fixed on him, he dropped his chopstick after filling his mouth with the noodles and looked at them with confusion written on his face, the three of them shook their head at him and returned to eating their food including his grandmother who had just praised him.

"I haven't seen your car around, did something happen to it?" her mum asked.

"Aunt, are you still using your old car?" Li Na inquired

"Of course not, I just bought a new car two years ago but it has a little problem so you don't need to worry about it mum," Yu Yan responded, she didn't want to go into detail to avoid a situation where she would have to tell her mum about Han Chen using her car and the engine overheating.

"You don't need a car anyways," Li Na remarked with her attention fixed on her food, then the three of them turned to look at her in confusion.

"What do you mean?" her grandmother asked

"That handsome man can always pick you u...." she didn't finish her sentence before Yu Yan pulled her closer to herself and covered her mouth with her palm to prevent her from spilling the entire thing, her mother glanced at the three of them in suspicion seeing as they all looked like they were hiding something from her but Yu Yan quickly smiled broadly to pretend like it is nothing but it wouldn't fool her mother.

"Why are you covering her mouth?"

"Nothing mum, you don't have to bother about it," she answered with a side glare at Li Na who had just realised that she had almost spilt the beans.

"But..."

"We have to go now else we will be late," Yu Yan interjected and hurriedly stood up from her seat before her mum starts probing her, the twins understood her intentions so they also stood up and followed after her.

"You haven't finished your food yet!" her mum shouted

"We will finish it later," Yu Yan shouted as she disappeared into her room, it didn't take long for her and the twins to come out after getting dressed for work and school.

She secretly picked her mum keys on the dresser, then the three of them left the house after bidding her goodbye.

After some minutes, they arrived at the school.....Legacy international school, one of the most prestigious schools in China with students from different countries and of course, the school is also very expensive but their father bring the CEO of a company makes them qualified to attend such a prestigious school.

The twins were dressed in a casual but dandy way, Li Na was wearing a high waist ripped blue jean trouser with a black crop jumper while Li Jing wore a black chinos trouser with a formal black shirt, leaving the first two buttons open.

As the trio walked onto the school, the students fixed their eyes on them while they whispered to each other, Yu Yan couldn't understand why they were staring at them and she was now beginning to wonder if there is something wrong with their looks, she brushed wavy hair to one side of her shoulder giving them a perfect view of her neck.

The male students seemed excited the moment she brushed her head aside while some female students stared at her with admiration and others with dislike, Li Na and Li Jing looked around them to see that more students were staring at them then they turned to Yu Yan.

They now understood the reason for their stare, Li Na tapped Yu Yan and leaned towards her to whisper into her ear.

"Aunt, can you please cover your neck, you are already attracting everyone attention even before we get formally enrolled," Li Na whispered, Yu Yan looked around to find their eyes on her so she quickly did as Li Na said.

"Good morning miss..."

"Miss Yu Yan," she replied.

"and I am guessing these are the children you would like to enrol in ou school," the middle-aged women asked in a slightly demeaning tone and look in her eyes, she was dressed luxuriously and had her hair in a french updo, Yu Yan noticed this but she didn't want to make a big deal out of it when she hasn't done anything really offensive, she put on a smile on her face to answer her.

"Yes ma, this is Li Na and Li Jing," Yu Yan replied politely, the woman then nodded and ushered them into the luxuriously designed office decorated with furniture of either black or brown colour, she sat at the head of the table and gestured them to take their seat, the three of them sat on the chairs opposite hers.

"So miss Yu Yan, I would like to know the reason for their transfer?" she asked

"Their parents are abroad so they have left them in my care, hence the change of school," Yu Yan replied concisely, she didn't want to give too many details to her.

"ooh I see...." then she shifted her gaze from Yu Yan to the twins with a disapproving look, she scanned the way they dressed, unlike the wealthy students from conglomerate families, both of them were dressed casually.

"Is anything the matter?" Yu Yan questioned seeing the look she was giving the twins, the headmistress smiled and turned to her.

"Nothing, but are you sure there is no problem with their family relationship?" she probed, earning a frown from Yu Yan and the twins but they knew better than to butt in.

"What type of problem are you referring to?" Yu Yan asked with a dark look on her face.

"I don't mean to be rude but as a prestigious school known for having a good reputation, we have to take note of things like this so if there are any problems with their family such as...their parents getting divorced, please feel free to tell us," the headmistress answered, Yu Yan scoffed with her head lowered then she raised her head with a sharp look in her eyes.
