#LangTu Le-Cha dynamics, huuuuge age gap
NaiCha, 4 y.o, screaming at the top of her head while running around the living room, “You can’t tell me what to do, you’re not my mother!!!”
Lele, 21 y.o, following him with a pink lil toothbrush in his hand, “Oh, yes I am! Now, brush your teeth and go to sleep!”
Gao Tu shook his head at the scene, his gaze fond and his smile soft, “Mr. Shen, your children are are in a screaming competition again.”
“When they’re naughty, they’re mine. When they’re cute, they’re just yours?” Shen Wen Lang dramatically flopped on the kitchen table.
Gao Tu scrunched his nose. Shen Wen Lang’s heart on the loose.
“Alright kids, NaiCha listen to your mother—I mean, brother…” Wen Lang corrected himself after receiving a glare from Lele, “he’s the one prepping your milk and helping you to finish your homework, right?”
NaiCha, tho pouting, nodded, “But papa, gege promised me we’ll watch a dinosaur movie tonight and eat popcorn together.” Her sentence started loud and ended in full on sobs, “gege is always with his friends, gege doesn’t love me anymore.”
Wen Lang and Lele felt their throats constrict and their eyes swelling with tears, they cannot bear to watch their little princess crying.
“Baobei, my pretty meimei, your gege is a fool. Your gege is sorry. Will you please forgive me?”
“Hmp! No!”
“Do you wanna visit the mall tomorrow? Gege will buy you lotsa toys and pretty dresses!”
NaiCha’s sobs died down a little at that, her screams toned down to tiny hiccups, “no!”
“And we’ll also visit Toyland and gege will carry beautiful ChaCha down the slide,” Lele is now kneeling in front of her with their father, “gege will also buy ChCha her favorite lime and cherry sorbet!”
“No, Hua Sheng ge told me my gege is broke.”
“You’re right, your gege is broke and heartbroken,” Lele clutched his chest, “because our beautiful ChaCha is angry at gege.”
As the saying goes that apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, NaiCha’s chin quivered once more, her eyes damp with tears.
“Can my baby ChaCha please forgive this foolish gege now?”
NaiCha nodded, her eyes closing thus her tears rolled down her chubby cheeks, “I want lotsa toys and candies tomorrow, okay?”
Lele smiled, his own eyes red and cheeks wet, “All for my ChaCha. And don’t worry, gege is broke but gege and ChaCha will use papa’s card!”
“Huh?!” Shen Wen Lang’s tears stopped flowing.
“Right, baby ChaCha?”
“Yehey!!! I love you papa, thank you papa! I love you gege, thank you gege!” Both men received kisses to their cheeks before NaiCha ran towards Gao Tu, “I love you daddy, so so so much!”
“Lele, here’s my card. Buy whatever your sister wants, buy something for yourself too.”
Gao Tu just sighed upon hearing his husband’s words.
The next day, while in the meeting, Shen Wen Lang’s phone chimed nonstop with notifications. Bank notifications. Seeing they’re from toy stores and candy shops, he ignored them.
And so, NaiCha became a proud carer of a green, stuffed dinosaur, and Lele? Well, he can’t wait to brag to Hua Sheng his new GTR pro simulator.
Shen Wen Lang did not noticed that between the $30 candy bars and $75 entrance fee to the playground is a $15,012.00 purchase at a toy store.
But what about it? Shen papa’s money is for Lele and NaiCha to spend anyway! (Much to Gao Tu’s dismay. He really cannot understand rich people. Yes, including their children.)
