Chapter 282 - Little Jia's birthday

After playing for a while, Little Jia went to take a bath and dress up for her party. A timid maid stood at the side as the little girl scanned the dresses on her bed. There were four of them and she found them all very beautiful.

In the end, she picked the one that fit into Wan Jia's family outfit. "This one is the prettiest so I will wear it right now. As for the other three, I will wear one tonight, one tomorrow and the last one tomorrow in the afternoon." As for Princess Isabelle's costume that she had dreamed so much of wearing before, it was now totally forgotten.

The maid nodded and helped her into the dress she had chosen. The Little girl did not know that it had been designed by her mother and only chose it for its beauty. For some reason, however, she loved it more each time she looked at it and felt very happy and comfortable wearing it. Well, it had been made with so much love specifically for her. If she didn't feel that way, Wan Jia would have wasted her time and resources.

As for the shoes, Lu Aotian had given her a very pretty diamond pair. It had been custom made for her by Miss Blanc. Wan Jia was wearing a similar pair. She and Lu Aotian were also wearing the family attire.

"The guests have started arriving." Lu Aotian informed her.

"I'm done. Help me pull up my zipper." She had unintentionally made it so low that she couldn't pull it up herself.

Lu Aotian touched her skin as he pulled it up. "You look too beautiful, Mrs. Lu."

Wan Jia blushed when she felt his breath near her skin. They had been together for so long already. Why was it that her heart still raced when he was close to her?

He helped her with her necklace too before they left the bedroom hand in hand.

The pair received the guests with smiles on their faces. Most of the people invited were from Lu Aotian's side. It was only when organizing this party that Wan Jia realized that she in fact had very few friends. Aside from Su Ling, the Lin family and a few friends of Lin Lihua, she found that she had practically no one else to invite.

"You must be Mrs. Lu. You are even more beautiful than I thought." One of Lu Aotian's friends commented as he shook Wan Jia's hand. He received a look from Lu Aotian and didn't dare to stare too much.

The next friend only told him two words when he saw his wife. "Good eye."

Wan Jia got to meet some of Lu Aotian's friends that she had never even heard of before. Most of them came along with their wives or children. Little Jia would make very many little friends by the end of the day.

When Xia Rou and his wife-slave Lin Zhou arrived, Lin Lihua was not with them. She had sent Wan Jia a message to inform her that she would be slightly late.

When everyone else had arrived, Wan Jia sent for the little girl.

Just a minute later, the little girl walked down the stairs in a pink dress and her hair in an adorable ponytail. Beside her was a little boy dressed in a little black tuxedo.

Everyone exclaimed.

"Is that Lu Meili? Whoa, she is so cute!"

"She looks just like a smaller version of Mrs. Lu."

"How can a man like Lu Aotian have such a cute daughter? If all one has to do is marry a beautiful woman, I will marry a goddess!"

"Wait; is the boy beside her Lu Aotian's son? How come nobody told me that idiot has a son?"

"Not only are you the idiot, you are blind too. That is Xu Liaowen's son. They must be friends."

"I think they look like a little couple. So cute."

The woman who had just said that received glares from around her. How can her imagination be so wild? They were little kids!

While the adults spurted words of admiration, the young ones were happy and all wanted to strike a conversation with Little Jia.

"Hello Lu Meili, my name is Li Tong. Do you want to play together?" a little girl approached her following which, more kids joined them. For a moment, it was as though there were two parties: the kids' party and the adults' party.

While the kids were immersed in their games, one of them shouted, "Is that the emperor's daughter?"

"What emperor's daughter?" the others looked over.

"The one walking beside Lu Meili's mom."

"It's really the emperor's daughter!" the kids rushed over to peer closely in awe.

"Her name is Lin Lihua. She is my aunt." Little Jia said proudly.

"Really? You are not lying right?"

"Lu Meili, is she really your aunt? Can she sign me an auto… one of those that superstars sign for their fans? My classmates will be very jealous." One of the older girls said.

Lin Lihua was quite famous even among little kids. "The emperor's daughter" was one of her teenage dramas and was the most famous television series she had ever acted in. The kids rushed to her for photos and autographs. Some women who were her fans asked for them too.

...

After the cutting of the cake, some of the adults took the chance to chat with the powerful figures and gain business alliances. They had to thank Lu Aotian for gathering many big shots in one place.

At night when everyone had left, Little Jia started opening her presents. There were so many of them that they formed a hill in the hall.
