1271 Chapter 8 Mao Mao love story
"Y-yes?" Fen Wén tilted her head in confusion. She didn’t understand why Mao Mao suddenly asked whether she was cold or not. Like...out of the blue??
Mao Mao slowed down his speed as he turned around to look at the girl. With a sweet smile on his face illuminated by the candle’s light, he spoke, "I wonder if you feel cold..." the young man’s voice was a bit faint sounding like a whisper.
Yet for Fen Wén, his voice was as clear as ever. His deep yet childish voice struck her right ear instantly made her face turned red for the n-th time. The girl hurriedly shook her head and said, "N-no I’m not cold, I’m okay, really." Ahe was stuttering as she answered.
Fen Wén just felt very nervous at the moment. No one ever treated her so gently like Mao Mao did, asking her whether she felt cold or not. Somehow it touched her heart. Something felt warm and fuzzy inside even though it was indeed a bit chilly outside.
’Mao Mao is so kind...’ Fen Wén silently thought as she glanced at the young man. She didn’t know why but her heart was out of control every time she was near this young man.
Was it because she rarely interacted with boys around her age? It could be.
Fen Wén was busy in her own thought that she went silent, not speaking anymore. She only walked slowly wishing that she would never reach her chamber.
Seeing Fen Wén fell silent, Mao Mao also didn’t pursue his question before. Naturally, he knew that a dragon was stronger than a sacred beast so the girl won’t be cold.
Thinking like this, the young man didn’t bother to ask anything else to the girl. He just kept walking and made sure he could protect the girl next to him.
Just like that, Mao Mao and Fen Wén walked side by side to the girl’s chamber. None of them spoke and only enjoyed the silence of the night. This activity naturally repeated every day until both of them were used to it.
Because of this, they were closer than before and could be seen as a close friend. Some servants even paired them up saying that they looked good together.
Today, when it was break time for the servants, someone brought up the issue.
"Hey, Wen’er I heard that you’re close with our prime minister?" A female maidservant in pink clothes munched on a moon cake while casually asking Fen Wén who was sitting across her.
Hearing the question, the girl who was sipping a warm tea almost choked. Putting down the cup with a loud thud, she coughed, "I’m his personal servant. How can I not be close to him?"
Fen Wén soothed her throat and took out her handkerchief trying to wipe her lips. She almost died because of a cup of tea. It was all this rascal’s fault!
The female servant raised one of her eyebrows in disbelief. Playing with her black hair, the girl lazily asked, "Are you sure? The rumour said that you’re not close as a servant but-"
The girl hadn’t finished her words when another maidservant in turquoise clothes chipped in, "But as a secret lover!" The girl slammed the table excitedly as she sat down, wanting to join the juicy gossip.
Her loud statement made the surrounding maidservants perked their ears trying to get any valuable gossip for their boring day.
Hearing what the other girl said, Fen Wén’s face instantly turned red. Steams raised from her head. Stuttering, she tried to deny, "N-no! It’s not like what you guys think ah!"
She gripped the teacup tightly trying to hide her nervousness but her fellow maidservants noticed her shyness. With a sly smile on their face, the girl with pink dress pressed Fen Wén, "Hey hey you look so shy, tell me, do you like our young prime minister?"
She didn’t stop at that. The maidservant clasped her hand together and sighed, "If I were you, I would fall for our prime minister, " she looked at Fen Wén with sparkling eyes and continued, "After all, he’s so handsome and accomplished at the same time!"
The girl’s words were followed by the other girls’ nod. All of them bashfully praised Mao Mao, "Right, right! I saw him once and he is so cool!"
Another girl chipped in, "He’s so handsome and you know what, I saw him when he’s having a meeting with the officials...and he is so capable!" The girl with freckles on her face squealed in joy.
Not only these three girls but even the rest of the maidservants there also started to sing praises for Mao Mao.
"Hey, hey, not only that, but he’s also super kind! He once helped me carry books when he passes by, " a girl with her hair tied up smiled bashfully as she recalled the kindness Mao Mao shown her.
Mao Mao was indeed popular among girls of his age because despite being the youngest prime minister of their kingdom, he was so humble and kind. A lot of noble families had aimed at him to be their future son-in-law.
Mao Mao was one of the most promising husband candidates among the noble girls!
Hearing all the praises for Mao Mao, Fen Wén suddenly felt sour. Her face turned gloomy for a second and an uncomfortable feeling appeared in her heart.
Just why...she didn’t like it when these girls admired Mao Mao? She felt...irritated inside...
Was it because of the fact that Mao Mao was also kind to others, not only to her?
