The little girls have grown up
Xiu Jiekai, who was involved in a military service case last year, allegedly paid NT$150,000 to have his military service handled. He was later indicted and faces a potential prison sentence of two years and eight months. Since then, Xiu Jiekai has paused most of his public work, shifting his focus to family. He has accompanied Chia on work trips to China and shared aspects of his daily life, such as running, on social media. The recent travel photo marks a rare public appearance.
They are really getting prettier
In the shared photograph, Xiu Jiekai is seen in casual wear, standing behind Chia. Their daughters, Bubu, who is nearly 11, and Boๅฆ, who is 9, stand in front, making "YA" gestures. The girls, with their long hair and increasingly delicate features, have transformed from young children into teenagers. Many netizens expressed surprise at how much the girls have grown, with comments like "The little girls have grown up," "They are really getting prettier," and "As beautiful as their mother!"
As beautiful as their mother!
