However, the most shocked of all were the hidden Wang Royal Manor warriors that were hidden all over guarding the two young masters from a distance. Never have they seen a person live long enough to explain themselves after offending the young Heir of the Wang Royal Manor. They couldn't understand why the young Heir hasn't walked away yet. Never have they seen him allow someone to talk to him this long or like this. They all wondered who was this young master, and how does he managing to keep his life after touching and angering the Heir of the Wang Royal Manor.
Liu Tián Qǔ didn't know all of this, but she understood angering this young master was detrimental to her health, "The moment I met Little Dumpling I already saw into his character. You stood next to us eavesdropping on us here in the market earlier. So you tell me what was Little Dumplings' first reaction when he realized how much danger his actions could bring to his family?" Liu Tián Qǔ knew that the chance of Wang Fèn Yǒng answering was very slim. So she didn't bother waiting for him to answer and continue to say, "I'll tell you, his first reaction was to protect his family. Although he ran away and was upset with his family, he was determined that no one would use him to hurt his family."
Standing to the side, Little Dumpling face blushed red in embarrassment and pride. He threw his shoulders back and stuck out his chest. His heart felt warm, and he felt a deeper connection and affection for this new friend he just made. He didn't know this new friend thought so well of him.
Pedestrians passed back and forth, going to and from their destinations in the market. But everyone steered clear of the Heir of the Wang Royal Manor not passing too close at all.
Liu Tián Qǔ closely watched Wang Fèn Yǒng eyes as she explained her actions to him, "I will be the first person to tell you that I have many bad habits and I can be a not so nice person. But if there is one thing I value, it is the true, sincere heart of a friend." Wang Fèn Yǒng eyes and expression remained unapproachable and ice-cold as Liu Tián Qǔ explained her self to him. Little Dumpling stood there with his heart in his throat. Yet he was also extremely proud and happy to have made a such a good new friend.
"Why do you think I begged you earlier to allow Little Dumpling time to get cleaned and change his clothes? Why do you think I advised Little Dumpling to tell his parents that although he momentarily left home to see the world, his parents were still in his heart? That is because my friend, Little Dumpling, has his dignity as well. He should be allowed to save face, and it definitely is not a lie that although angry, he still kept his family in his heart. That is his character Big Brother I understood that well."
Wang Fèn Yǒng cold eyes drilled into hers. He probed her eyes and expression for several heartbeats before he looked over to Little Dumpling.
Watching Wang Fèn Yǒng eyes closely as he looked over to Little Dumpling. Liu Tián Qǔ saw his eyes turn several degrees warmer as he told Little Dumpling in what was almost a gentle voice, "You have 15 mins to pick out gifts." He took out a heavy money purse and held it out to Little Dumpling.
Feeling dizzy, Little Dumpling released a long breath that he was wasn't even aware that he was holding. Little Dumpling beamed at Wang Fèn Yǒng as he walked over to Wang Fèn Yǒng and received the heavy money purse from him. His smile was so wide it turned his eyes into crescents. "Thank you, Older Brother."
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
Liu Tián Qǔ also smiled at Wang Fèn Yǒng and said, "Thank You Big Brother."
Feeling very happy with how things turned out. Little Dumpling look over to Liu Tián Qǔ still smiling and asked, "What should I buy?"
Laughing out loud at the cute fat Little Dumpling Liu Tián Qǔ said, "I can't tell you that Little Dumpling I don't know your parents' taste. You have to pick out something that you feel they would like."
With a look of helplessness, Little Dumpling then looked to his Older Brother for help. But the Big Ice Cube only looked at him and said, "It is your gift" and dismissed him with an elegant wave of his hand saying, "Go on."
Poor little dumpling looked utterly lost.
Grinning at the cute fat Little Dumpling. Liu Tián Qǔ threw an arm around his shoulder and said, "Come time is short. We are already here in the market let's quickly look around at the wares the vendors here are selling."
"Okay, big brother," little dumpling said.
They proceeded to walk through the market together with Wang Fèn Yǒng trailing behind them guarding from the rear. Little Dumpling stopped at a vendor who had his wares displayed on a table in front of a book shop. He was selling mirrors. Liu Tián Qǔ looked at Little Dumpling with a slight smirk on her face and asked, "Little Dumpling doesn't your mother already have a mirror?"
Liu Tián Qǔ thought to herself which noblewoman doesn't own two or three mirrors? It was very obvious to her that the two brothers came from an extremely powerful and wealthy noble family. In her past life, Liu Tián Qǔ, herself came from a wealthy, powerful family that was considered noble. So she knew the signs when she saw them. It was an aura and breeding that was extraordinary hard to imitate for people who weren't born and raised in it.
"Yeah, she has several" Little Dumpling said morosely.
"Then I would advise you to put a bit more thought into the gift you're getting for her."
"But I really don't know what to get." Little Dumpling said with anxiety aware that his time was running out.
In a solemn voice with sincerity, Liu Tián Qǔ said, "Think of things your mother like or use a lot. Does she have a special tea or wine that she really likes a lot or perhaps a favorite special incense she like burn? Or maybe a special cream, scent, or makeup she like to use. Does she always wear jewelry? Is there a special kind of jewelry she likes? Don't just grab a random gift and force it on her. Think of something you see your mother use all the time or really like. This is a way to show that you have truly thought of that person. That you truly care enough to take notice of their likes and dislikes."
With wide eyes full of deep appreciation, Little Dumpling said, "I know now, thank you, big brother. I understand now."
Wang Fèn Yǒng stood behind them quietly, waiting for their 15 minutes to expire. So neither Little Dumpling nor Liu Tián Qǔ noticed the deep, profound look in the eyes of Wang Fèn Yǒng that constantly followed Liu Tián Qǔ.
As they turned to step away from the table, a large package came flying out the door of the book shop next to them, and a person came flying out behind it, landing heavily on the ground.
It seemed as if all the pedestrians walking back and forth, and everyone in the immediate vicinity immediately stopped and turned to look and see what was going on.
Suddenly the book store owner appeared in the doorway face red with rage. He pointed to the person on the ground that was just thrown from his shop and yelled in anger, "If you ever come back here again and attempt to swindle me by trying to sell me that trash, I'm going break your legs. Now scram!" Flicking his sleeves in anger, he turned and disappeared back into the shop, leaving angry words in his wake, "200 Gold for a map humph, try and swindle me again and see what happens?"
