20 Alls Fair In Love And War (2/2)

”There now mommy doesn't need to see them!” Rin harrumphs while jabbing her fists onto her hips proudly.

Twinkling her eyes rapidly, Ai bursts out into fits of giggles, her slender snowy hand covering her rosy lips.

”En, thank you Rin,” She wipes a tear from her almond-shaped eyes. ”But you didn't need to do that. After all, they're just innocent flowers.”

”Nu-Uh!” Rin shakes her head disapprovingly. ”If they make mommy sad then Rin doesn't mind destroying even more! For now, on Rin hates peonies!”

Ai, once again starts giggling at her beloved daughter's brazen words.

Rin on the other hand stares at her laughing mother with a 'feeling wronged' look.

”Come here little Rin,” Her mother smiled.

Crossing her small arms across the top of her flowing dress, Rin gives in hopping towards her mother.

”Do you know why mommy likes chrysanthemums?” Ai softly spoke while grasping her precious daughter's small hands.

Looking wonderingly into her charming mother's calm emerald eyes, Rin gently shakes her head.

A small loving smile forms on Ai's glossy rosy lips, her lovely eyes turning upwards.

”Because they remind me of my little Rin.”

Gradually processing her words, Rin's round cheeks flush a rosy color - the visible tips of her fragile ears redding.

”Mommy you're not being fair!” She whines concealing her face into her mother's light blue hanfu.

”Hehe, all's fair in love and war Rin!” Ai laughed joyously while proudly patting her daughter's hair.

When it thunders in winter,

When it snows in summer

When heaven and earth mingle,

Not till then will I part from you.
