He was still a child and therefore there was no way Ling Tianya was going to argue with him. Therefore, she smiled again., “Okay. This is also for you.”
She was urgently craving a tangerine by now and could only reach into the fruit platter for the third time. The boy watched Ling Tianya quickly peel the tangerine, his eyes wide. Then, he placed the two tangerines on the coffee table and ran around the sofa, wanting to grab the third tangerine out of Ling Tianya’s hands.
Once, twice, but not three times. Although it wasn’t a big deal, Ling Tianya felt that this child was a little bothersome.
Just as the boy reached over to snatch the tangerine, Ling Tianya raised her arm high. The boy couldn’t reach it, and he glared at her. “That is mine! Give it to me!”
The boy’s voice was loud. Everyone had seen him take Ling Tianya’s tangerines the first two times. Although Second Ruan Aunt and Ming Li had witnessed it, they hadn’t said anything and had even felt that the way the precious child snatched Ling Tianya’s tangerine was really adorable!
Wang Yazhi and Madame Ruan knew that Ling Tianya had recently been craving things that were sweet, sour and refreshing. Therefore, the majority of the fruits at home were prepared for Ling Tianya.
Seeing the boy take the already peeled tangerine from Ling Tianya twice, they hadn’t said anything. After all, he was but a child. However, they had also noticed that the boy would snatch the tangerine but wouldn’t eat it. Instead, he would grip the tangerine and then watch Ling Tianya peel the next one before attempting to grab that as well.This kind of action didn’t sit well with Wang Yazhi and Madame Ruan.
They thought the boy’s behavior showed how spoiled he was. Wang Yazhi was confident that Ling Tianya would definitely not spoil her child to such a degree that it would it would be embarrassing. Fancy that she had wanted Second Ruan Aunt to instruct her on how to raise a child! Seeing that their precious child had turned out this way, it was better for her not to listen to any advice from that quarter.
The boy climbed onto the sofa with his shoes on and reached out to take Ling Tianya’s tangerine, glaring at her.”Hurry up and give it to me. That is mine!”
Ling Tianya placed the tangerine in her other hand and patiently asked the boy, “You already have two. Is that not enough for you to eat?”
The boy reached forward in an attempt to grab it, his movements becoming frantic. “It’s none of your business! Hurry up and give it to me!”
Worried that the child would bump into her stomach, Ling Tianya gave him the tangerine.
Having managed to snatch the tangerine, the boy once again simply held it in his hand without eating it. Second Ruan Aunt and Ming Li laughed while rubbing the boy’s head. Not only did they not scold him, they praised him! “Our precious child is so amazing. You got the tangerine again.”
Madame Ruan couldn’t stand it any longer. The boy’s previous conduct and behavior were loathsome. The child’s actions also weren’t appropriate. If he had bumped into Ling Tianya’s stomach, it would be a mess.
“Old Second, you can’t spoil a child like that! What is going to happen with him as he gets older? He takes things from other people’s hands and gets frantic if he doesn’t get them. This is home. If he does the same outside, wouldn’t he be a huge laughing stock?”
Madame Ruan’s criticism of their precious child didn’t sit well with Second Ruan Aunt and Ming Li. Their eyes darkened but at the end of the day, they didn’t dare to go against Madame Ruan.
Second Ruan Aunt glared at Ling Tianya. “Ei. Is the old woman distressed because our precious child took three tangerines from his aunt? In, the old woman’s heart, the child in Tianya’s stomach is a golden nugget and our precious child can’t compare.”
Ling Tianya’s eyes darkened. Who were these words of jealousy for?
