After taking a few deep breaths, Lan Ruoruo said, \u201cIt\u2019s my fault. I\u2019ll wait here for my secretary to bring the ice pack. Then, I\u2019ll personally apply it to Mr. Zhan\u2019s face until the swelling goes down!\u201d<\/p>\n

Zhan Wei gestured for her to sit.<\/p>\n

Lan Ruoruo sat down reluctantly.<\/p>\n

Haitong didn\u2019t interrupt\u2014she simply watched the scene unfold with great interest.<\/p>\n

The two children were watching, too.<\/p>\n

Beibei was still too young to understand what was happening. Zhan Muchen didn\u2019t fully grasp it either, but he knew one thing for sure\u2014his Seventh Uncle had won.<\/p>\n

This pretty auntie might look nice, but she was too fierce. She even hit his Seventh Uncle! Zhan Muchen decided he didn\u2019t like her.<\/p>\n

His father had told him not to judge people by appearances. Many women looked beautiful but had harsh hearts. When the time came for him to choose a wife, character would matter more than looks.<\/p>\n

Zhan Muchen understood what it meant to marry a wife\u2014it was like how his dad had married his mom.<\/p>\n

But wasn\u2019t he still a long way from that?<\/p>\n

His dad said he couldn\u2019t get married until he was at least 28 or 29 years old. He was only six this year.<\/p>\n

That meant he\u2019d have to wait another twenty years before marrying!<\/p>\n

His dad always joked that he had stolen his father\u2019s wife and kept telling him to stay away from his mom, because Mom was Dad\u2019s wife.<\/p>\n

But Mom was his mom too\u2014not Dad\u2019s mom\u2014so why should he stay away?<\/p>\n

He didn\u2019t take his dad seriously. His dad was just jealous of him, probably because everyone thought he was cute and loved him.<\/p>\n

Dad clearly favored his little sister and doted on her the most\u2014Zhan Muchen knew that well.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, he was constantly being told to write a set number of characters, learn a specific amount of math, practice piano, and do kung fu. His dad always wore a stern face around him. His mom said it was like Dad was staring at someone who owed him money.<\/p>\n

Even so, Zhan Muchen adored his little sister. She was his favorite person, too.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeventh Uncle,\u201d<\/p>\n

Zhan Muchen called out to his uncle.
\nZhan Muchen called out to his Seventh Uncle.<\/p>\n

Zhan Wei gently patted his head and said, \u201cSeventh Uncle is a real man\u2014generous and magnanimous. He won\u2019t hold a grudge against this aunt. As long as she apologizes, he\u2019ll forgive her.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBaby feels bad for Uncle Qi. His face is all swollen,\u201d Zhan Muchen said, glaring at Lan Ruoruo. Then he added, \u201cAuntie, why did you hit my Seventh Uncle? My dad says no matter what, you shouldn\u2019t hit people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though he remembered his father had also said that if someone crosses the line, it\u2019s okay to teach them a lesson\u2014he wisely chose not to say that part.<\/p>\n

Lan Ruoruo replied awkwardly, \u201cUh\u2026 kid, this is grown-up business. You shouldn\u2019t ask too many questions.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYour Seventh Uncle and I are, well\u2026 you could say we\u2019re rivals. And who shows mercy to a rival?\u201d<\/p>\n

Zhan Muchen understood that much.<\/p>\n

His great-grandmother and his parents had taught him that being soft on your enemies could end up hurting you.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat did my Seventh Uncle do to you?\u201d the little boy asked. \u201cCan\u2019t you and Uncle Qi make peace and be friends?\u201d<\/p>\n

In kindergarten, when kids fought, the teacher always asked them to shake hands to make up and stay friends afterward.<\/p>\n

Lan Ruoruo looked at Zhan Wei. He looked back at her, then placed a piece of dessert in front of Zhan Muchen and said, \u201cBaby, eat your dessert. You don\u2019t understand what\u2019s going on between your Aunt Lan and me, so don\u2019t ask too many questions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zhan Muchen nodded and said \u201coh,\u201d then obediently started eating his snacks without pressing further.<\/p>\n

\u201cHug, hug.\u201d<\/p>\n

Little Beibei suddenly stood up.<\/p>\n

Both Haitong and Zhan Wei quickly reached out to steady her, afraid she might fall. But to their surprise, she extended her arms toward Lan Ruoruo, asking to be picked up.<\/p>\n

Haitong smiled and pulled her hand back, then said to Lan Ruoruo, \u201cMiss Lan, it looks like my daughter really likes you. This is her first time meeting you, and she already wants a hug.\u201d<\/p>\n
