BXBX NOVEL Chapter 26 Dinner 1
"What? No....I am thinking someone else to be suspected..."
"Who?"
"Minister Hua..."
"HuaMuTan’s uncle?" Prince FengEr also glances to TanTan, "You don’t think she is also involved right?"
"I don’t know..."
"Well, we don’t have any evidence yet. Its too early to say..."
"You’re right"
Prince FengEr doesn’t say anything else, although in his mind, he believes that HuaMuTan is innocent but he doesn’t want to share that thought with Prince Li.
"YiFu..." At the entrance of the dinner room, FangFang approaches them happily. When she sees Prince FengEr with them, FangFang suddenly behaves as she had been taught, she greets Prince FengEr politely.
"FangFang greets *San Wang ShuShu.."
"Smart FangFang...how are you? Shushu glad to see you again after a long time..."
Prince FengEr pats her head and FangFang seems comfort with him. Not too long, TanTan and XiaoRue have catching up them. When FangFang sees TanTan, she gladly hugs TanTan.
"Yang Mu..."
And coz of the pain, TanTan mutters pain,
"Ugh...." but TanTan holds it, letting FangFang keep hugging her. She tries to smile to FangFang.
"FangFang, don’t do that...your YangMu is in pain...her ankle is hurt..." Prince FengEr pulls FangFang from TanTan.
"YangMu, your ankle is hurt?" FangFang looks worry,
TanTan smiles and pats her head,
"Yes, FangFang, but only a little bit so don’t worry...."
"Let FangFang helps YangMu..." FangFang holds TanTan’s hand, leads TanTan slowly entering first to the dinner room,
Seeing the view of what happened makes Prince FengEr widens his eyes, he asks Prince Li softly,
"Since when FangFang becomes so close with MuTan Cie, didn’t she afraid of her after the burning incident?"
Prince Li just sighed,
"Many thing has changed lately in this house..." then he gestures the Prince FengEr to enter the room first before him.
In the room, Aunt Tong and the other servants have waiting for them,
Aunt Tong and the other servant do their duty to give the best service, they don’t wasting any time to display the dishes on the round table. The food is delighting TanTan although she doesn’t feel want to eat a lot. Also she feels right to call FangFang join. During the
dinner, she can keep busy taking food for FangFang so she doesn’t need to talk too much with both of the princes.
Prince FengEr is the one who do talking a lot and make the dinner quite alive. He praises Aunt Tong for the food like usual, then recalling every time he visited the house, he always satisfy with the food. Indeed Aunt Tong responds gratefully to Prince FengEr.
While in other eyes, TanTan is really acts like a mother to FangFang. She cuts meat into pieces for FangFang and makes sure that FangFang is eating enough as she is also eating her food. Same also with FangFang’s attitude toward TanTan. Even although FangFang doesn’t like carrot, but she eats carrot that be offered by TanTan. It surprises Aunt Tong a lot.
As Aunt Tong did, Prince Li also doesn’t take his eyes off from TanTan, it looks like he keeps monitoring every TanTan’s movement. Both of Prince Li and Aunt Tong are having the same feeling,
’FangFang can’t be that obedient if she doesn’t likes the person so much. What on earth did HuaMuTan do to make FangFang likes her that much? beside...
the way HuaMuTan eating is also has changed... in the past, HuaMuTan is a food picker, she doesn’t like to eat together especially with children like FangFang and the past HuaMuTan’s eating way much elegant than now’
"MuTan Mei, you keep feeding FangFang...Don’t forget to make yourself eat also..." Prince FengEr shares a meat piece in TanTan’s bowl.
TanTan surprised, she thanks to Prince FengEr while Prince Li just keep looking,
"Thanks San Wang Ge" She eats it to show her grateful.
Seeing that, FangFang also follows.
"FangFang also want to give YangMu..."
She takes another meat piece onto TanTan’s bowl.
"Thanks FangFang" She also pretending to enjoy eating it to make FangFang happy, "Hm, yummy.."
FangFang is so happy. She then looks to Prince Li innocently,
"YiFu have to give YangMu also..."
Surprise with FangFang’s request, TanTan looks at Prince Li who has been looking to her.
"I had enough eating meat, FangFang... look, you are also almost finish, why don’t we finishing the eating and then take a rest..."
"Are you already tired, YangMu?"
"Yes, I need to take a rest earlier so my ankle can recover fast"
FangFang seems doesn’t want to left, she still want to be with TanTan, She gives a begging look to Prince Li,
"Hmm... YiFu, can I sleep with YangMu tonight?"
Prince Li gets upset easily somehow seeing FangFang becomes closer with TanTan.
"What? No! You should sleep at your own room!" Letting FangFang alone with HuaMuTan? It can be dangerous...right?
The objection makes TanTan unpleased, ’Does he think I still will harm FangFang?’,
FangFang still begging to Prince Li,
"But why YiFu? YangMu’s ankle is hurt, I want to accompany her...Please Yi Fu...I want to sleep with YangMu..."
Prince Li can’t find any reason to object her request so he looks to TanTan, giving a warning eyes, giving a clue for TanTan to object FangFang’s request.
"Well, I don’t think your YangMu’s let you sleep with her?!"
"YangMu, can I?"
Although she felt threatened with Prince Li’s stares, but this time she decides to ignore it and even feels glad if she can upset Prince Li by not obeying him.
"Why not? I am glad if FangFang can accompany me...but FangFang, you must finish your food first."
"Okayy..."
FangFang immediately finishing her food. After that, HuaMuTan and FangFang, accompanied by XiaoRue excuse themselves and back to HuaMuTan’s room.
Prince Li just stares angrily to them walking out from the room,
’That woman purposely against me!!!’
He drinks water and put the glass with harsh to show his anger.
Prince FengEr sees Prince Li’s anger and tries to comfort him,
"Calm down Wei Di, I think you don’t need to worry...don’t you see MuTan Mei just now treat FangFang nicely. She won’t harm FangFang again."
Prince Li sighed to calm himself,
"Do you think that HuaMuTan can change easily? We both know how she is in the past..."
Prince FengEr answers to him carefully,
"Well, so far I see now...she is quite different...Now...now...don’t thinking too much....Suddenly I want to have a drink...Why don’t we have a drink before I return to my place? We can continue talk about the case while enjoying this night clear sky view..."
"Ok, but why don’t you stay over here, SanWangGe...I see the time is already too late to do a long journey. I’ll ask Aunt Tong to prepare the room for you resting later. You can return tomorrow."
"If not too bothering you WeiDi...this big brother feel grateful..." And then both of them walks out to find a right place to have a drink and enjoying a night view.
In TanTan’s room, XiaoRue helps to massage her ankle for a while with massaging oil. FangFang want to help but TanTan doesn’t allow it, she insists FangFang to get ready to sleep at inside part of the bed.
"Is it hurt?"
"No..auch....not really FangFang..."
"How can YangMu’s ankle get hurt?"
"hmmm... YangMu is trying to catch bad guys today but unfortunately they are stronger than YangMu and get escaped..." TanTan feels giving this kind answer will surprise FangFang. She likes to see FangFang’s surprise look, its cute.
But hearing TanTan’s answer, XiaoRue is the one who becomes worry,
"XiaoCie, please be careful with XiaoCie’s body. XiaoCie had hurt on XiaoCie’s back and now XiaoCie’s ankle...XiaoCie got too many wounds since XiaoCie forgotten things..." complaints XiaoRue in worry. She is so worry about TanTan until she doesn’t care if her XiaoCie scolds her for her bold words. But TanTan doesn’t upset with her words, she knows XiaoRue being noisy coz concerning her condition.
"I will be careful next time, don’t worry!"
After finishing massages, TanTan even thanks to XiaoRue before she goes out from the room. TanTan prepares the blanket for both her and FangFang.
"YangMu supposes to tell YiFu..let YiFu catch the bad guys... YiFu is strong, he won’t lost to any bad guys..."
’Yeah...like he will help?’ TanTan smirks for her own mind, but she immediately says to FangFang,
"Hm...but I am afraid your YiFu is too busy to help me,..."
"YiFu will help you. FangFang will tell him to help you..."
"No..no...no...FangFang...don’t do that...please.." Otherwise Prince Li will think that she, TanTan influences and using FangFang for no good.
"Don’t you worry, FangFang. I also can be as strong as your YiFu...You know, Me and your YiFu are having competition right now, who will catch the bad guys first will be the winner. So don’t ask him to help me...coz it would be a cheating..."
"Hm...alright!"
"Now, lets sleep well tonight okay...." TanTan kisses FangFang’s fore head and lays her own head.
"YangMu?"
"Hm...?"
"Can you sing for me again? That song?"
TanTan surprised, she doesn’t expect FangFang had conscious and remembering that song at that time.
"Do you like that song?"
FangFang nods, "I want to hear it again"
"Okay, I’ll singing for you" TanTan repeats the lullaby song for Fangfang, patting her shoulder till FangFang feels asleep.
