Chapter 139 - Do You Love Children?.
Chen Lihua was the only one who looked at her in astonishment, while wondering the world she came out from, because she was surprised that she could talk to her 'sister-in-law' that way.
Chen Lihua suddenly found Liu Longwei's family interesting, and she believed that she won't ever be bored out of her mind with Liu Dongmei around.
Liu Longwei's playboy of a brother will really get it hard from him.
But seeing that almost every one didn't like what she said, she apologized, but winked at Chen Lihua.
Liu Longwei definitely saw that, and so he glared at her, and Liu Dongmei had no choice than to contain her excitement.
Liu Longwei suddenly felt a sense of crisis, and so he leaned in towards Chen Lihua and whispered in her ears, "My brother is not more handsome than me. I have the kind of mature handsomeness, while his is childish".
Chen Lihua instinctively leaned away from him when she felt his breath on her ear and neck because it tickled her. But that didn't stop her from replying.
"What are you doing?. All eyes are on us. No public display of affection till we leave this house". Chen Lihua whispered to him.
Liu Longwei was speechless as he thought to himself, 'Did you even get what I just told you before pushing me away?'. But he still respected her decision.
There's was a little talk between the adults before a babyish voice was heard.
"Mommy mommy". That was the voice of a little child as she came running towards Liu Dongmei.
Liu Dongmei picked the cute little girl up and sat her on her laps while asking, "Heh baby what happened?".
The little girl smiled and said in her childish voice while pointing at her dress, "Mommy look, I've changed my clothes and this outfit fits me a lot more than the previous one".
"Yeah I can see that, you look beautiful in this outfit". Liu Dongmei said as she pinched the little girl's cheeks.
"Let go off my cheeks mommy, it hurts". The little child said as she pulled Liu Dongmei's hands away from her cheeks.
Liu Dongmei sighed and said to her, "OK I've let go. I want to introduce you to someone".
"Oh! And who may it be?". The little asked curiously.
Liu Dongmei answered as she pointed at Chen Lihua's direction, "That's Aunt Lihua, she's my big brother's wife. Go say hello to her".
The little girl turned towards the direction Liu Dongmei was pointing at, and there she saw an unamused Liu Longwei, and a smiling Chen Lihua sitting together".
She had a Wow look on her face, and so she turned to her mother and whispered in her ears, "She's pretty".
"I agree with you, so hurry up and say hello to her". Liu Dongmei said as she smiled.
The little girl struggled free from her mother's embrace. And as her feet landed on the floor, she walked towards Chen Lihua's direction.
She stopped five steps away from her. Then she looked at Liu Longwei who didn't have a smile on her face and Chen Lihua while had a welcoming smile. So she contemplated for few seconds before finishing her steps.
Now standing before Chen Lihua, she greeted Liu Longwei uneasily, "Hello uncle".
Liu Longwei gave a little smile of acknowledgement before he took it back.
The smile alone eased the little girl's heart and so she smiled at Chen Lihua as she brought forth her little hand for a handshake.
"Hello Aunt Lihua, my English name is Annabelle but you can call me Anna like my family and friends do. And as for my Chinese name, I will keep it a secret till our next meeting".
"Hello beautiful". Chen Lihua smiled and reached out her hand as she shakes the little girl's hand.
"She sounds like her mother". Liu Huiling said with a smile.
"Yeah I know. Always talking about their next meeting". Madam Liu said from the side and everyone burst out in laughter.
After she shook hands with the pretty chubby little girl, Chen Lihua let her go.
As the little girl was walking away, the old lady called out to her, "Anna come let great grandma carry you".
"No thank you great grandma, but am not a baby anymore, so am fine sitting on my own".
The little girl said as she walked to sit on an empty sofa.
She climbed unto the sofa and sat down comfortably while stretching out her legs, and began to look around.
Chen Lihua was amazed, and so she smiled brightly with love in her eyes.
"I want great grandma to carry me". Little apple said suddenly. But Liu Huiling stopped her with a little scolding, "Great grandma is old and you shouldn't disturb her. So continue sitting quietly beside me as you've been".
"It's fine, let her come to me". The old lady said with a smile.
Little apple looked at her mother, and then at her great grandma. Then she shook her little head, "Great grandma, do not worry anymore, you need to take care of your health. I will go sit with Anna instead".
"What a sensible child". The old lady said with a smile.
Just then, the little girl came down from the chair gradually and went to sit with her cousin. They two played with a jigsaw puzzle softly, while cherry remained sitting obediently by her mother's side.
"Wow, they two seem to get along really well".
Chen Lihua said with a smile as she kept on gazing at the little girl's.
"Yes, they are agemates. Little apple just clocked three, and Anna is three and a half years old". Madam Liu answered with a smile too.
Everyone can tell how much she loved her grand kids with that doting smile on her face, and anyone could tell that Chen Lihua loved children as well.
Liu Longwei who had long noticed that Chen Lihua's gaze was frequently moving between the three children with a beautiful smile on her face, could not help but ask when he leaned in close to her. "Do you love children?".
