Chapter 239 - Do you know what "wife" means?

After a while, the children got bored and gathered to play on their own. Aside from Little Jia and Tangtang, there were a few other kids who had tagged along with their parents. Among them were a few boys who started dancing off.

"Tangtang!"

"Tangtang!" The kids cheered. Apparently, Tangtang was the most skilled dancer and gained hearty cheers from all the little girls present. Even the adults sneaking peeks couldn't take their eyes off him.

"I want to be Tangtang's wife when I grow up!" a cute four year old girl exclaimed. The adults who were not too far off burst into laughter.

Tangtang was stunned. Wife? He was only five! Does Little Cherry even know what that means?A little boy looked at the girl with his big eyes. "Little Cherry, do you even know what it means to be someone's wife?" he reprimanded.

The little girl called Cherry was angry. She went to hide by Tangtang's side and blinked her round eyes at the little boy. "You bad Chenchen! I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to Tangtang. I want to be his wife, not yours. " She squinted her big bright eyes and asked, "Bad Chenchen, do you know what it means to be someone else's wife?"

The boy called Chenchen shook his head. "I don't know either. All I know is that you get to stay together forever."

"Then I want to be Tangtang's wife and stay with him forever!" The little girl was more confident.

"No! I'm your twin brother. You can only stay with me forever. I can dance too!" He retorted.

The scene seemed quite thrilling to watch. Children could be very cute in their interactions. However, sometimes the peaceful moment didn't last too long.

"Ahhh! " Little Cherry suddenly screamed and burst into tears, crouching to hold her ankle. Little Jia had kicked her in her ankle.

"Little Jia, why did you kick her? It is wrong to kick people. You should apologize to Little Cherry." Tangtang was the first to react.

"I don't want to."

"Why did you kick my sister? Little Jia is a mean child."

At that moment, their parents came rushing over.

Lu Aotian pulled his daughter aside. "Why did you kick her?"

Little Jia was frightened by how everyone was suddenly looking at her. Did she do something wrong?

"She said that she wants to be Tangtang's wife in future.. Daddy, only I am Tangtang's future wife." She was already in tears when she finished saying this.

Lu Aotian's expression turned serious, making the little girl shiver in fright. "Lu Meili. First of all, you are no one's wife. You don't even know what that means and I don't want to hear that kind of nonesense again. Apologize to her."

Little Jia cried and looked at Wan Jia who was beside Lu Aotian.

"Baby, you shouldn't kick people. Didn't Daddy say to be friendly to other kids? Fighting is what bad kids do. Apologize to Little Cherry, okay?" Wan Jia had the same opinion as her man.

The little girl felt wronged but when Lu Shaoting said the same thing, she could only suck it up and apologize. "Sorry Little Cherry."

Little Cherry's parents were understanding of children's disputes and did not make a fuss. That, and the fact that this was the Lu family and they were afraid of offending them. Luckily the Lu family was not a family of bullies who would arrogantly brush the matter aside. 

However, Little Cherry tried to walk and they realized that she was more hurt than they thought. Her ankle was swollen and excuriatingly painful.

When Little Jia saw the red and swollen ankle, she cried. "Daddy, I did not use a lot of strenght. I only kicked her a tiny bit to teach her a lesson. I did not want to hurt her."

"We should take her to hospital." Wan Jia said. Lu Shaoting's focus was on something else. "What do you expect from my monster brother's child? She's still so little but she is already too strong for her age. She should not fight in future." 

...

After taking Little Cherry to hospital, Lu Aotian turned to Little Jia. "Promise Daddy that you will not fight again." 

"Daddy..." Little Jia cried. Did that mean that no matter how ther kids provoked her, she should not fight? 

"Lu Meili..."

That was the second time he had called her using her full name today. He was truly angry..."Daddy, I promise." She cried.

Just like that, the party was more or less ruined. Some guests still remained at the Xu estate but the Lu family left. 

At night, Wan Jia coaxed Little Jia to sleep and went to Lu Aotian. 

She massaged his shoulder to relax his muscles. "You were too fierce with Little Jia today, don't you think?" 

"I wasn't. I understimated her." How was she a little kid? Just a little strength was able to make another child's ankle so red and swollen? 

At the same time, in the Lu residence. 

Lu Tongyan was worried about the exact same thing. 

"Such an amount of strength in a little girl...how dangerous will she be in future?" In other families, it was an honor for their children to be strong but in the Lu family, it was more or less a jinx. Lu Aotian had been hard to deal with...
