{FlashBack}
"It would seem she is becoming the world's best big sister uh?" Kudia chuckled deep in his throat as he leaned against the doorway to the nursery beside his where his bonded was standing.
"I had thought at first she might get jealous but no. Jin-er seems to be thriving when it comes to having our little Yao around" smiled Sudoku as her eyes were soft and loving as she watched as Jinyang was cradling little Yao in her tiny lap with the help of the female house elf, Wink, who had come with their new daughter as the other two were tidying up the room.
"See, Yao-Yao. Your Jie-Jie will always be here." nodded 4 year old Jinyang as she was showing the moving pictures in her favorite nursery rhyme book to her baby sister as Winky was helping her. She beamed as the baby giggled and clapped for her. She would be the best big sister in the entire world and would never let anyone or anything harm her precious mei-mei!
"When is Qiang going to be arriving?" inquired Kudia of his lovely bonded as she glanced at him, at his mention of their eldest child.
"Next week…something tells me he will be very receptive to her. That is the feeling I have, call it a mother's intuition." nodded Sudoku with a small smile playing on her lips as she turned back to her daughters playing.

Sicheng narrowed his whiskey amber eyes slightly with a thoughtful glint reflecting in them as Chen Qiang, the Heir Apparent for Chen Family stood in his base before him. Along with standing beside the man was a barely standing at 5 '3, female. However, what had his attention the most was that she was using a very powerful glamor to keep others from seeing what she truly looked like. So, he naturally ignored how she looked for now.
"Heir Lu." commented Qiang with a sharp nod to the powerful man before him. He watched as he looked away from his currently feeling mischievous and impish little sister at his side.
"Heir Chen." nodded in return Sicheng before he turned towards the female as she snorted with a dry amused look flickering across her face, causing him to feel a flicker of amusement at her.
"Done with tossing around your titles? Or are you going to pull out your wands next to see which ones are bigger?" smirked Yao as she moved, poking her elder brother in his side gladly and happily ignoring the arched eyebrow from the Lu Heir and the amused but shocked looks from the others of his team at her words.
"You're one to talk Xiǎozǐ (Brat)." snarked Qiang back at his little sister with an edge of playfulness lacing his tone, ignoring the brief shock from those that have never seen his playful side. But this was his youngest sister and his favorite, he had no issue with showing her affection, he dared anyone to say anything about it because he would end them.
"I only do that shit to people I don't like or to people that I just feel like annoying because they need to be annoyed." stated Yao bluntly with an impish look and tone towards her brother not noticing the brief flicker of amused interest in whiskey amber colored eyes.
"Lady Chen Yao?" inquired Ming as he stepped forward towards the impish looking woman and could sense she was wearing a glamor upon her as she turned and looked at him with dark eyes that did not seem to match her. He raised his eyebrow though as her face lit up with a bright smile on her face as she eyed him.
"You can call me Yao or Yao-er! I am most pleased to finally meet you, Heir Yu Ming! You are my most favorite E-Sports player!" chirped out Yao as she clasped her hands behind her back as she rocked back and forth on her feet with a grin. She focused on the man before her and tilted her head to the side as she ignored as her elder brother snorted, however, had she been paying attention, she would have seen that her brother was amused for more than one reason.
"Um?" swallowed Ming with nervousness as he glanced at her elder brother, who had a reputation as powerful and as dark as Cheng's was and had no desire to cross the man. He was amused as he saw the man had a resigned amused slash fond look on his face as he stared at his sister.
"She is the most stubborn person in our family. Our grandfather is the only one that seems to be able to win against her. If I say no? She'll go on a pranking spree causing chaos and mayhem just to get back at me." commented Qiang in a dry tone as his sister gave him a sharp smile though he was very amused as he had noted the irked look in a certain Heir's eyes at his Midlaner being his sister's favorite E-Sports player.
"What's life without chaos, mischief and mayhem?" countered Yao as she shrugged her shoulders at her elder brother before she lost all amusement as another male approached with glasses and recognized who he was as her brother straightened up and tensed as well.
"Xiao Rui." tried Rui but he swallowed hard with fear as both Chen siblings were giving him dark cold looks.
"The Misogynistic Manager." commented/stated Yao in a cold and dark tone as she fought to keep her magic in check, from lashing at the man before her.
"Indeed." scorned Qiang as he placed a hand on his sister's shoulder beside him, lightly touching her magic with his own magic to keep hers from lashing out as he leveled a dark look of his own onto the pale and nervous manager.
"Chen Jun, informed us that you can heal Ming Shen?" spoke up Lao K with hope in his tone as he looked at the female as she locked her assessing eyes onto him.
"Yes." nodded Yao as she turned, re-locking her eyes onto Ming as they gained what could be called a soft edge to them. "Shall we? Couch would be better because I am not catching you if you faint as I am healing you." she stated bluntly as she motioned to the sitting area as she eyed the man that gave her an amused look.
"Chen Yao, glamor off before you start. It will make the magic unstable, otherwise. I have no desire to pay to have the ZGDX base rebuilt because you end up blowing it up." commanded Qiang sharply of his sister as she led the Yu Heir to a couch.
"Not a bloody novice! I am a Master Healer and have another Mastery in Runes!" snarked back Yao over her shoulder at her brother.
"Says the female that found out runes could be used for healing after using herself as a gods' damn guinea pig." stated Qiang in a dry disapproving tone as she had damn near given them all a goddamn heart-attack that fucking day when she had come down and informed them happily on what she had discovered and how she discovered it!
"And you don't suffer from a bloody curse every damn month!" retorted back Yao with sass and snark as she sat a beautiful, well made leather charmed Healer's bag down on the table.
"Curse?" frowned Lao Mao as he inched closer with a curious look on his face.
"Of being a damn female." muttered Yao as she removed her special, very expensive rune making tool from her bag and sat it gently down on a soft cloth, she had sat down. She ignored the shocked looks from the males around her at her words and what she had done.
"You…you suffered from cramps so badly, that you carved a rune to make them go away, into yourself without knowing if it would kill, harm or damage you?" gaped Ming as the female blinked as she straightened up with placing her hands on her hips.
"It worked and I am alive." huffed Yao as she rolled her eyes at them all before she set about pulling potions and such from her bag.
"Glamor, Chen Yao." reminded Qiang with a resigned tone as she waved her hand at him, signaling she had heard him. "Shall we go to your office?" he nodded to the Lu Heir and was amused as the man that was more of an Ice Prince than he was, seemed to be entertained by his sister.
"We shall. Come with us Rui." nodded Sicheng with a cold glance to the inching away Manager before he turned to head for his office which was located underneath his base.
~~~~~~
"You really combine runes with healing? How did you come up with this idea?" inquired Pang as he came closer to take a look at some of the things the female was removing from her bag.
"I got the idea after reading a series of books called the Mortal Instruments. The Shadowhunter's in the books are what they are called and they use runes it seems practically for everything. So, I thought why the hell are we not doing that. My Master, who taught me? Would call me a Mad Hatter...he was sort of obsessed with Alice in Wonderland. Personally? I see myself as more of a Wednesday Adams." shrugged Yao as she tilted her head to the side as she moved, pulling out some pain relief potions from her bag.
"That's…reassuring." muttered Lao K as he eyed the female with an amused look. Though his eyebrows raised with wonder and shock as the others drew in sharp breaths as well as she released her glamor and showed off her real looks.
~~~~~~
"So, Lady Chen Yao will be joining us?" asked Rui nervously but he swallowed hard with fear as Chen Qiang regarded him with ice.
"Why should I allow my most favored sibling to join this team with such a misogynistic manager? The others but three of us had gotten over your actions. My grandfather, I and Yao have not gotten over it." spoke Qiang in a low dark tone as he glared at the man before him as he crossed his legs staring at the fool.
"He won't be in charge of her. In fact considering she now owns 34% of ZGDX? She would be seen as his boss and in charge of him alongside me. Rui knows he has messed up and was brought to task personally by me for his actions." remarked Sicheng coldly as he was still fucking furious with the goddamn manager, the used to be Ceo Bao and Mr. Su for daring to bring such a goddamn problem down on ZGDX's head.
"Be that as it may. If he steps one toe out of line, especially concerning my mei-mei ever again? He is finished and it will not be the others he has to worry about coming for him. Because if I do not get to him? Yao-er will end his life before he can even apologize. So, good luck Mr. Xiao Rui, in trying to get back on her good-side, you already have one strike against you. Make it 3 and you are finished." informed Qiang icily towards the man as he gave a deep dark amused look as Rui was now pale and terrified.
"I understand." swallowed Rui with a nod of his head as he was really regretting his actions and his decision now.
"And you will have to deal with me." warned Sicheng darkly as he glared at the man causing him to wince as he nodded his head. "Dismissed." he ordered as he fought back the urge to rub his forehead.as he watched as the man left his office before he turned his focus onto the Chen Heir before him as he knew this man was just as feared as he was, in their community, especially the Magical Community. "You wanted to speak with me?" he nodded as Qiang folded his hands before him as he eyed him back.
"My sister has already made up her mind to join you all here at the base." began Qiang as he eyed the younger man and knew he was making the right decision. "My grandfather agrees with me on this. I know you will do everything for those under your protection and you're honorable. What I wanted to speak with you about is to request that you take my sister under your direct protection. Because if anything happens to my little sister? I will tear this base apart in the wake of my rage." spoke Qiang in an icy and dark tone as he leveled a look onto the young Heir before him as the powerful 27 year old wizard eyed him back with an emotionless look.
Sicheng stilled as he eyed the man before him with a calm cold look on his face. He rolled the idea around in his head because what the man was asking of him was nothing to be taken lightly. Taking someone under his direct protection and not just placing them underneath his family's protection was very serious and was something he had never done before.
"What you ask of me is not something I take lightly." he warned in a low dark tone towards the man before him.
"I know." commented Qiang coldly back to the man but he knew if he could trust anyone with his favored one's safety and well-being…along with possibly keeping her out of trouble. It would be this man before him, though he had a feeling instead of keeping her out of trouble the damn man would be right there in the midst of said trouble, having his sister's back.
~~~~~~
"There you go." chirped Yao as she eyed the man's wrist after he had taken some potions and she had waved her wand over the wrist before her, scanning it with a proud look as it was fully healed.
"You…you did it." murmured Ming as he twisted his wrist around. He was in awe and was extremely thankful the woman had healed him. He swallowed hard as he moved, bowing his head to the woman as he fought back the urge in giving her a hug as he knew that would cross lines that her brother might be tempted to kill him for. "Thank you." he implored as she beamed brighter at him as she stood dusting off her clothing.
"Welcome!" winked Yao with a grin on her face as she nodded her head though her head tilted to the side as her magic sensed her brother approaching with Heir Lu.
"All done, Mei-Mei?" inquired Qiang as his sister turned around swiftly, giving him a grin as she stood before him with her actual looks. Though, he damn near snorted as the man beside him froze in his footing as his eyes had widened at the sight of his sister's natural looks before something darkened in his eyes.
Sicheng fought back his reaction and put on his cold mask as he stared at the woman before him, Chen Yao. His eyes took in everything about her, she was still lithe, curvy and short about 5'3. However, her appearance was now fairer with her hair twisted upwards into a bun, her locks were a dark crimson almost blood red color that went well with her natural pale skin tone along with her piercing almond shaped, viridian bright emerald colored eyes. "Xuè Jīnglíng (Blood fairy), she looks like a fucking Xuè Jīnglíng (Blood fairy)." thought Sicheng as he fought back the urge in wanting to see her with her hair down and wild around her face and frame. "Your request is granted." he informed the man beside in a cold darkened tone as he eyed the female before him and knew it was going to be needed because he could already see the goddamn Stamps the female was going to collect without even trying to do so.
"What request?" demanded Yao as she ran her assessing viridian bright emerald eyes over both men before her and tilted her head like her Kneazels would when they were curious about something.
"Grandfather and I asked Heir Lu to bring you underneath his personal protection while you are a part of ZGDX. It was the only way we would not contend with you about joining." nodded Qiang with a smirk as she blinked owlishly at him before giving him an accusing look.
"You did it on purpose to prevent me from plucking off Sunflower stems. Why do you have to ruin all my fun?!" Yao accused her elder brother with a pout playing on her natural dark red lips as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"Sunflower stems?" frowned Ming in concern for the female as she glanced at him over her shoulder and felt overprotective of the female that healed him.
"Heir Jian Yang…has become obsessed with my sister, you can say." growled Qiang as he looked like he was tempted to just kill the man.
"Did you date him?" asked Lao Mao of the female as she blinked before wrinkling her nose as disgust flashed over her face, at his words.
"Bloody hell no. I met that lonesome cockroach about 4 years ago at Ai Jia's birthday party, and it was only once. I would have already been done with him by now if Ai Jia had not requested that I spare that little bastard." muttered Yao with a scowl as she cursed the fact she had a soft spot for her sister's fiancé and huffed some.
"Are you friends with Ai Jia, the Mid next door?" inquired Lao K with his lips curling in amusement at the female's snark and homicidal tendencies it was seeming.
"Friends…no. Soon to be family, yes. He is engaged to my JieJie and since I adore my JieJie to death? I granted him his request which is soon about to expire." snorted Yao as she snapped her fingers and all her things flew into her Healer's bag and packed away neatly.
"You will leave Jian Yang to me. If he bothers you? He will deal with me." informed Sicheng coldly as he looked into the female's eyes as she blinked staring at him.
"You have one chance if he shows up to bother me. If that does not work? I will not hesitate in staining my hands with his blood." warned Yao coldly with a darkened tone as her eyes flashed dangerously with her magic spiking some.
"Spicy." smirked Sicheng with approval in his eyes towards her promise of killing Jian Yang. The male was fucking annoying and he would not bat an eyelash if the man ended up dead or disappearing.
"Will you be joining us?" inquired Pang as he stared at the female as she tilted her head to the side as she connected her eyes with her elder brother's eyes.
"Grandfather and I have no issue as long as you are under Heir Lu's personal protection and as long as Dobby, Kreacher and Winky come with you plus Mio Yuna will be popping in as well to check in with you." nodded Qiang to the female as she hummed with a thoughtful look on her face as she seemed to be weighing everything.
"Don't forget the loves of my life! They will be coming to live with me! I have no desire to be awakened in the middle of night to attend to them by Grandfather demanding my presence to see to them if they decided to be blight terrors because I am not there." huffed Yao as she rolled her eyes as her Kneazels were her babies and her familiars. She loved them with all her heart and soul but they could be so needy and clingy with her…and she loved it!
"Boyfriends…er significant others are not usually allowed to live at the base." began Rui in a quiet tone as the female blinked at him, however, no one noticed the darkened look of displeasure in a certain someone's eyes but one, and he was very amused.
"Eh Boyfriend? Are you high or something? I don't have a boyfriend. In fact, I have never even dated someone or been kissed. No poor sorry sod has ever gotten past Jin-er or Qiang-ge to even get a chance to ask me." laughed Yao as she pointed towards her elder brother as he smirked with a shrug of his shoulders.
"But you just said the loves of your life?" frowned Pang with confusion at the female as she looked entertained and amused at their confusion.
"Yao-er, stop playing mind games with them. She is speaking about her familiars. Two very overprotective Kneazels, named Da Bing and Xiao Cong. Words of advice for everyone here? Do not touch either one in a harmful way because she will end you." spoke Qiang with a brief amused tone as Yao winked with a chaotic grin before he warned everyone.
"Two familiars uh, how powerful are you exactly little Xuè Jīnglíng (Blood fairy)?" mused Sicheng as he was finding the female to be highly entertaining especially now that it was known she did not have a significant other. He knew he was going to have to warn the girl that since she was now underneath his personal protection? All his possessive, territorial and overprotective tendency with what he has claimed as his? Would be more attuned when it comes to the mischief, chaotic, mayhem causing female. He had a feeling, Chen Yao was going to make things very interesting.
