That night, after TanTan returned from the dinner with LiMingHu, she had a dream. In her dream, TianTian felt like she saw a cartoon movie, there was a princess who be caught by a beast in a castle. Princess" brothers were trying to save her but failed. The princess" best friend tried to offer herself, replacing the captured princess but be rejected by the beast. Finally the princess fed up and tried to escape by herself, but only to be caught again by the beast. At the end all citizens of the kingdom wanted to kill the beast but the princess unexpected protected and save the beast.She awoke until that part, reciting the dream she had just now made she giggled herself coz suddenly it reminded her to a similar cartoon movie that XiaoAi, her student always told her about, "What a weird dream...."
Then she went down from her bed and prepared herself with taking shower. In the shower, there is a mirror where TianTian could see her reflection. "Have I change?" She shook her head and then finished her shower.
When she descended down the stair, she didn"t see the beast everywhere, its odd
a little bit. TianTian met Aunt Ma, then she asked about the beast,
"Aunt Ma, where is..the...President Li?"
TianTian almost said "the beast", but Aunt Ma didn"t notice it, she just answered her politely,
"President Li already go to work, he tells me to let you rest at home today" Aunt Ma explained.
"Hm...not taking me again? What a weird moody that beast...well, its better than I must bore waiting him like yesterday..."
TianTian then looked to Aunt Ma and asked again,
"I am hungry, is there any food ready to eat, Aunt Ma?"
"Sure, Miss TianTian. I"ll prepare a breakfast for you..."
Then later at the eating room, TianTian enjoyed her simple meal, be accompanied by Aunt Ma. While eating, TianTian kept busy with her mind, reciting what happened yesterday ,with WenWen...with the beast...
"Last night, I finally can meet WenWen ,but the situation was so bad...how can I meet her again to clarify all these? That I and that beast have... nothing?" TianTian touched her lip with the spoon she hold, the last sentence in her mind was spoken unsure..."nothing"? the pa.s.sion that she felt last night? And the beast...he somehow became so gentle in kissing and touching her. She recited the pa.s.sionate moment she had with the beast last night,
"I...want to kiss him again..."
That thought sudden occured and shocked TianTian. She felt shameful with that thought till it made her face red as a tomato. Aunt Ma who looked at her, felt worry...
"Are you okay, Miss TianTian. Your face seems reddish, do you have fever?"
"No...no...I am fine Aunt Ma..." She immediately finished her meal to proof that she was fine. She even almost chocked a little bit and coughing,
"Just slow down, Miss TianTian. No one rushes you here.." Aunt Ma smiled seeing a childish act of TianTian.
After drinking a water, TianTian looked around the house and realized how big it was but felt empty.
"This house is too big but empty..." She spoke her mind...
While Aunt Ma cleaned her empty dish, she responded,
"Its not always empty like this... 20 years ago this house full of happiness when President Li"s parent still alive. They were a lovely couple, so fond to each other and little Master Li was a very sweet cheerful boy...."
TianTian widened her eyes hearing that,
"Cannot imagine that beast ever became a sweet cheerful boy!"
"Then what happened?" she asked,
Aunt Ma sighed and gave her sad look,
"*Sigh....The car accident...they three went to celebrate little Master Li"s birthday but their car had problems... only little Master Li survived from that accident....it changed everything... it changed him and changed the happiness atmosphere of this house..."
TianTian was speechless, she couldn"t imagine a ten years boy lost his parents like that and got such a big trauma.
"No wonder he turns become this cold and selfish beast..."
Aunt Ma observed TianTian"s face and smiled sadly. She even grabbed TianTian"s hands like begging to her.
"Miss TianTian...I know maybe I am not deserved to say this but I have been watching you and President Li lately. I know you are a kind woman, different than other gold diggers out there and President Li seems so peaceful and happy when he with you... so please always be his side, help him to get out from his sorrow..."
"Aunt Ma...?"
Aunt Ma looked so concern, TianTian even could almost see tears coming out from Aunt Ma"s eyes.
When another servant came, Aunt Ma felt shy to cry, she let go TianTian"s hands and then continued to clear the dishes.
"Just...please don"t give up on him!" Aunt Ma said before she went out to the kitchen.
The concern of Aunt Ma touched TianTian"s heart, "If Aunt Ma can concern about him that much,...maybe...that beast is not really bad after all...."
Now that she was already full, she didn"t plan to stay at home all day. Especially she wanted to meet WenWen if possible. So she reached her smartphone, tried to call WenWen.
What a surprise that she heard a man voice answered her,
"h.e.l.lo, Miss TianTian"
"Who is this?" TanTan asked curiously, "a man picks WenWen"s smartphone in the morning, is it her lover?"
"We have met last night. This is Phillip Huang, I am afraid that Ms WenWen is not able to pick up the phone...she is...still sleeping."
"Oh...I see..." TianTian really could see their relationship was not simple.
"Ok, maybe I will call her back later...thank..."
But Phillip Huang interrupted her words,
"Wait...Ms TianTian. I don"t think she want to answer your call even though she has awake later..."
"..." How far this man knew her problem with WenWen?
"But I might can help you to meet WenWen...so how if we meet for a while at lunch later?"
"Lunch?" TianTian remembered that this man, Philip Huang had a rivalry relationship with LiMingHu, "It it wise to meet him?"
Feeling the unspoken hesitated from TianTian, Phillip Huang continued to persuade her,
"...I"ll speak to WenWen so she willing to meet you later..."
This might be a good chance to her to clear things with WenWen. So she agreed,
"Okay, tell me the time and the place...I"ll be there"
"Good, let"s meet in The Grand Restaurant at lunch time..."
"Ok!" *click, TianTian hanged up her smartphone.
"Now, still have time till lunch, maybe I can make something sweet for WenWen" She recited in the past, everytime WenWen in bad mood, her sweet home-made cake could soften her mood easily.
