It'll Come Naturally

"Justin, Major General Ouyang fought against me for daddy," the little girl complained in between sobs. Her nose was red and her eyes were still wet with tears. She looked adorable. Since her most prominent backer had arrived, she cried even harder. Moreover, she wiped her tears and snot with his white shirt. That kind of privilege only belonged to Jasmine. Anyone else who did that to Justin would be very likely to come to regret their decisions quickly as they were beaten black and blue.

"Let's give daddy to her for now. Let me play with you instead, okay?" Justin asked in a soothing voice while wiping her tears away. Just as Leena had observed, Justin loved his sister even more than Duke loved Leena.

"Hmm! Jasmine wants to go horseback riding with you, brother!" the little girl smiled even when her eyes were still moist and red after her brother's offer. After all, she was only a kid.

"Ah! "Why on earth would you want to play that again!" Justin felt helpless before his supreme little sister. Being a gentle and sophisticated individual, he had to satisfy his sister by playing her favorite game - horseback riding. Only in her version, Justin was the horse. He had to lie prone with a hunched back and let her ride on his back. Edward secretly took pleasure in Justin's misfortune, because the little girl didn't want anybody else to play the horse.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Daisy tried suppressing her laugh with her hand over her mouth to no avail. The scene unfolding before her was too funny. Her regal and sophisticated son, a prodigy and genius, on his knees on the ground playing horseback with a little girl whose smile could reach the heavens. As long as nobody fought her for her husband, she didn't care whom the little girl brought disaster to.

When years went by the time came for Jasmine to attend primary school, she grew up to become even prettier. She was lively and outgoing, and devilishly charming as well. She made friends in droves in her class and other sections in her grade. Her popularity was mainly due to how Daisy educated and disciplined her daughter. Although Jasmine was a girl, Daisy didn't want to treat her like a rare flower in the garden. Instead, she applied some of her spartan military training but also gave her freedom to explore her environment. As a result, Jasmine was set on the path to become an iron lady.

This was to the dismay of Edward and Justin, but neither of them dared challenge Daisy's parenting decisions. In the Mu Family, Major General Ouyang had the final say in bringing up the children.

To be fair, Daisy took a long time to carefully consider the decision she made. She wanted her daughter to be well-liked and respected instead of becoming a spoiled rich girl who thought others to be beneath her. She strove to root out any sign of that mentality. So despite the disagreement of the two men in the family, she still brought up her daughter her own way.

At the school grounds, the bell rang and soon the grounds were filled with schoolchildren waiting to be picked up. "Jasmine, is your elder brother coming to pick you up?" one of her classmates asked. As soon as school was over, she was surrounded by her fellow female classmates, each of whom had a crush on Justin.

"I'm not sure. Maybe brother Huey will come fetch me," Jasmine answered promptly while packing up her things and neatly putting them inside her backpack. She stood up from her seat and made her way out of the classroom happily with her bag on her back. Since Huey was attending the middle school next door, he often picked her up and accompanied her home. On a normal day, she took the bus home. Not for a lack of a driver, but her mother instilled in her that she was a primary school student and not a rich young lady. She must have the perseverance and spirit to endure the daily grind and hard work. That was why she was made to go to school and come back home by bus. Not that it bothered her. It had taken some to get used to at the start, but now it was all part of the daily routine for her. Occasionally her daddy and her elder brother sent her to school and fetched her, but only when her mother knew nothing. Otherwise, they would be punished together by her mommy as they did in the military.

"Wow! Really? He looks so cold though and we dare not get close to him," her classmate said. The school girls followed her out the classroom. Jasmine was ten years old now and was far taller than most girls her age. She looked like a crane standing among chickens. "Yeah. Brother Huey is the coolest and handsomest among my elder brothers," Jasmine answered proudly. She always said the exact same thing when she bragged about her brothers. Each of her elder brothers had his own personality and style, no matter how old they were. However, they all had one thing in common and that was their incredibly handsome appearances, which always brought droves of girls to pursue them.

"Jasmine, how many elder brothers do you have? How can they all look so handsome?!" another classmate of hers added. As primary school students in the fourth grade, they had only just begun to be aware of their feelings towards the opposite sex.

"Let me count. Brother Justin from my own family, brother Huey from Uncle Rain's family, brother Spencer from Uncle Duke's family, brother Owen from Uncle Luke's family, brother Richard from Aunt Leena's family aaand... That's all," Jasmine said while counting with her fingers.

"There are so many of them! You're so extremely lucky! You must be really happy," her classmates exclaimed. They thought Jasmine only had two or three elder brothers, but she turned out to have as many as five. She was the envy of the group to the extreme. "Of course I am. Not only are they handsome, they're all really studious as well," Jasmine said in a mysterious tone. Since all of her elder brothers had outstanding school records and had various honors, she often felt inadequate with her average grades. It was a good thing Major General Ouyang didn't care much for high grades, otherwise she would be trained by her hard. Jasmine thought that the reason her mother was so strict with her was because she had fought against her mother for her daddy back when she was just a small child.

"Wow! Really? Then can you introduce them to us?" the girls all came forward asking for an introduction, effectively surrounding Jasmine.

"No. Well, let's go. I have to get home now. Sorry to disappoint you girls, but the person who'll pick me up isn't anyone of my elder brothers, but my daddy," Jasmine said with a happy smile that could have reached the heavens. She waved goodbye to her classmates as she saw Edward's ultra-luxury car pull up the school driveway. She ran to her daddy happily.

Edward had been waiting for his beloved daughter in the car. When he saw her running towards him, he quickly opened the door and stepped out. A number of years had passed, but his face was almost untouched by time and hardship. He was now more mature and reserved than ever before.00000000
