"How's life in Celestial Xia, cousin?"
Back at home, Erin got a call from her cousin. "I saw the selfies you posted on Instagram. Looks like you've gained at least five pounds?"
"Nonsense!" Erin wasn't flustered at all, even striking a seductive pose in front of the vanity mirror by the door. "I work out every day. My weight hasn't fluctuated by more than ten ounces."
"That's a relief. I'd hate to be welcoming a little chubby girl next Christmas," Lawrence laughed.
"I thought you were going to come to Celestial Xia to find me," Erin said faintly.
"You know I can't," Lawrence sighed. "Otherwise, why would I have asked you for help? Wouldn't it be better if I pursued Xiao Ya myself?"
Erin raised an eyebrow and smiled, recalling the genuine delight on Xiao Ya's face when she saw Gu Zhao. "You don't stand a chance. Xiao Ya has a boyfriend."
