“Yeye!”


    Han Qian cocked his head out of the door to find Little Fe standing in the living room calling for him.


    “Little fe, where were you?” Han Qian asked as he quickly walked toward the living room without his cane. “Did you know we had a barbeque feast the other day? Then, Zixin and I made a variety of chickenst night for dinner. We even tried a new dish this morning. It was amazing.”


    An Xin looked at him and licked her lips while swallowing. “Yeye, were you able to finish all the food by yourself?”


    “Of course, we have big stomachs, ” Han Qian said while smiling as he rubbed his stomach. “Oh, I forgot to ask you. Do you want water?”


    “Water?” An Xin said in a hurtful voice. After eating so many dishes, they were only asking for water? Do they have no refrigerator working in their home? Couldn’t they save something for her?


    “Grandpa, stop teasing her, ” Han Nanxian said as he arrived with a big bowl to ce it on the dining table. “She is going to cry and Han is gonna beat us.”


    “Teacher, what are you doing here?” An Xin asked as she looked at him with a curious look on his face._.


    “What am I doing in my own house?” Han Nanxian asked her with a raised brow.


    An Xin blinked her eyes as she felt that she hade at the wrong time here. “Yeye, my mom must be waiting for me for lunch. I wille in a few days.”


    As she was about to run back, she heard a crisp voice, “Grab a pair of chopsticks and take your seat. Don’t make me repeat.”


    She looked at the boy who was setting the dining table, a nk expression on his face as he ignored everyone and pushed a chair next to him. She quietly walked there and sat on her chair. Her gaze fell on Han Zixin’s blue eye and gasped. “What happened here?” Her fierce eyes met Han Nanxian’s face and she said while pointing her chopsticks at him. “Teacher, did you best my cheat prince?”


    “Excuse me?” Han Nanxian said as he looked at her in disbelief. “Why would I beat him? And why would we even fight with each other?”


    “You might be jealous of my best friend, ” An Xin rebutted. “After all, he is better than you. This reason is enough for you to be jealous of him.”


    Han Nanxian scoffed as he looked at the girl. “Better than me?”


    “Of course, look at my cheat prince’s face,” An Xin replied. “A face that could cause battles between great empires. If I was an Emperor in ancient times, I would have made him my Empress and you wouldn’t even meet the standard of my lowest rank concubine in my harem.”


    Han Qian,who was trying to eat in peace, ended upughing. This girl never fails to abuse him with her vivid imagination. “Little fe, if you would engage in a battle for this face, why would you have concubines in your harem?”


    “For variety purpose, Yeye. What else?” An Xin said in a duh tone.


    Han Zixin flicked her forehead and said in a monotone voice, “Eat. And he didn’t beat me. If he dares to touch me, I will break his legs and arms.”


    “Excuse me, ” Han Nanxian gaped at him.


    “Why did you think he could beat me? Am I this weak in your eyes?” Han Zixin asked him.


    An Xin bashfully smiled as she pinched his developing biceps. “He has swollen eyes and jaw too. I get it that you didn’t beat him. You are too kind to harm anyone.”


    “I punched him, ” Han Zixin said and she fell silent.


    “Oh, I’m sure he had done something to deserve it, ” An Xin said and began back to eating.


    “Little Fe, where have you been?” Han Qian asked, trying to divert her attention from the hard topic.


    “Yeye, I went to live with my father and stepmom for a few days, ” An Xin told him. “I showed you my little brother’s picture, right? He was missing me and so I went to meet him as I’m such a good and kind big sister.”


    “Oh, is your father nice to you? Tell me if he bullies you, I will give him a piece of mind, ” Han Qian said. He had heard from his grandson how her father was a scumbag. So, the image of her father in his head was not good.


    “Yeye, ” Han Nanxian sighed. “You know her father.”


    “I do?” Han Qian asked the child.


    Han Nanxian nodded his head. “It’s uncle Zhaolin.”


    “Your father’swyer friend?” Han Qian asked with a gasp.


    “The one and only Lu Zhaolin whosew firm has a partnership with ourpany, “Han Nanxian informed.


    “Yeye, you know my father?” An Xin asked as she blinked her big eyes.


    “Unfortunately, yes, “Han Qian nodded his head. “Your grandfather and I were friends back then. Your grandmother was a fine woman back in her age. We became friends.”


    “Yeye’s choice of friends is quite questionable, ” An Xin muttered to herself. She was still angry over the fact that the old woman was persuading her mom to not let her participate in beauty pageants. Did she grow her height in vain? Huh! She wouldn’t forgive the woman at all.


    Sabotaging her glittery future?


    Let her be Miss China once then she will win the entire world with her glittery smile.


    She looked at her best friend who was quietly eating breakfast. “Best friend, I’m participating in the contest. Will youe to support me? I wanna be Miss China and you are my lucky charm. Be with me always, okay?”


    “Alright, my Miss Universe, ” Han Zixin said as his face softened when he looked at her.


    ‘What a smooth boy, ‘Han Nanxian said in his heart.

    I’m sad. I’m mad. I’m disheartened. But I will be fine after rating for a while. This is the benefit for having goldfish memory and simr concentration power.


    I just replied to a text and forgot the reason for my ranting and sadness. Never mind, I will just sulk for a while until I recall the reason and continue being sad.
