3 Ism Sorry, Little Vase (1/2)

in a present...

'Do you see any sign of waking up from her?' ask the whitefox to the nurse.

The same nurse who came before and injected TianTian with some liquid.

”No, she still not wake up since that day.”

”Okay, you may continue your work...”

The whitefox looks to the girl who is laying on the bed, she had been sleep like that for a long time, like a sleeping beauty... a poor sleeping beauty...

In her dream, TianTian recalled the moment she came to the king's house for the first time....

That time, when TianTian was in the king's car, she became too silent, but not with her mind.

'Are you crazy, TianTian? How can you just follow this beast?'

'But we have a deal right? he should keep his promise, not to touch me or...'

'Wouldn't he? Didn't he has force kissing you without permission? What makes you think he wouldn't attack you this night...in his own home?'

In a quick glare, she looked at the king. 'Why is he silent too? What is he thinking about? Could be...” At that moment, the king glared back to her, surprising TianTian.She turned her head immediately to the window, pretended seeing the road...

The king smiled, right now he had a victorious feeling, well...at least he already got a half of way to achieve his goal.TianTian will stay with him, she had promised to be with him anytime.Of course deep in his heart, he cursed the 'test' that TianTian wanted, but he could not swallowed his own words, he is a business man, keeping a promise is a vital to gain trust between him and all his clients.Very well, it just three months, he had been lived like a monk before he met TianTian.How hard it can be? Then the king checked on TianTian who kept her sight on the road, the king made promise to himself, 'On the first day of fourth month, I would eat this girl up, embracing her as much as I want...otherwise I am not LiWangHu, the king of Li Empire. Just wait, girl!'

The car had trespassing the outer gate, but it takes a few minutes more until the car finally stopped in front of the house.What a big garden he has....

”We arrive.Lets go...” Always commanding, TianTian took a deep breathe before she finally got out from the car, and silently amazed with the house.It's so huge and so decorative in luxury...two statues of chinese lion guards watches over the front door, and chinese ornaments on the sides of house....

The door was opened and TianTian noticed an old woman, dressed as a head of servant, followed by two young servants, welcoming the king politely, ”Welcome home, Master Li”.

The king just nodded as his response, and not wasting time anymore to introduce TianTian as a new member of the house.

”Aunt Ma,this is TianTian and she will stay here starting today....”

TianTian could see a surprise look ,even though just in second on the old woman who called as Aunt Ma, but when she looked her again, the look was gone.

”I will prepare the room for Ms TianTian right away...” TianTian didn't see wrongly, Aunt Ma was surprised indeed but as a professional maid, she made her face flat and keep doing her job while she was evaluating in her thought, 'It is the first time Master takes a woman to this house and more than that, he allows her to stay here...who is this girl, is she a girlfriend? a future Madam of this house? But this girl looks so...ordinary...a commoner... she is not fit for Master Li' For Aunt Ma , the king is already like a young prince she cared so much as she witnessed him grew. Even though she knew, she was not in the position to ask about the king's decision, she made her mind to evaluate the worthiness of this girl furthermore.

”Don't bother, put her things later in my room...” the king took off his cloak and gave it to Aunt Ma...

'What...i must sleep in his room? Hell No...'

” No...You had promised... 'the test!'....so you have to give me my own room...”

The king felt irritated for being reminded about 'the test'.... , he stared on her as a protest but TianTian won't gave up...

She stared back, ”three months!”

”Fine!..., Aunt Ma ,go prepare a room for her...”

'Fiuuh, thanks God.At least this beast can keep his promise.

”Yes, Master Li” Aunt Ma didn't waste anytime.She right away instructed other young servants what to do and they went to other inner sides of house busily.After making sure a room was being prepared, she turned to the king, expecting another commands from the king,

”A room is being prepared, do you need anything else, Master?” and then TianTian could saw the king gave another instruction about dinner and seems this Aunt Ma also wanted to report regular daily things to her master.TianTian didn't interest to hear it, she more interested to explore the antique things around the house.

Looking at all those antique gave TianTian more data about the beast, 'So he is...an antique collectors ... these antique are so old and original...I cannot imagine the price he has spent for them...' TianTian grew in a very traditional family; she familiar with antique things as her grandfather whobe called as an antique expert by all his old friends.When she was a little, she often played in her Grandpa's house, she learn a lot of things from her beloved Grandpa... TianTian slowly moved, observing one antique vase to another.... seeing those antiques always made her thought of her Grandpa, who had passed away when she graduated school...oh how she missed him so much... TianTian stared on a small chinese vase with a fairy with long chinese ancient dress drawn on it, she didn't realise that she holding it as she was deep memorizing her Grandpa...

”Do you like it?” A whisper blew on her ear, it was so close until TianTian could felt the breathe of the king.It shocked her and accidently loose the vase.

”Prankkk!” Oh No..the vase...

The brittle noise also surprised the servants around the house.Aunt Ma was still there, witnessed what happened; this girl just broken one of master's antique collections.She knows how this Mr.Li loved his collection so much.She remembered in the past when there was a servant so clueless and accidently broke one of the vases, instead of just cut her salary and forgave her, Master Li broke her fingers and kicked that servant out from the house.She couldn't imagine what possibly happen to this girl now,...what a poor girl...'

The king didn't expect that TianTian would dropped the vase.His precious little vase,...he remembered it priced at least around 50 millions,...it might be the cheapest one in the room but the art is priceless...what a waste... a little battle occured in his mind...

'Damn Girl, you just enter my house and now you already broke my vase... if only you are someone else...i would kick you out of here...' He looked at TianTian... 'Hooh...look at this girl, look at her face....she is also in shock and scare...Hah, let me punish you hardly...'

But before the king said any words, he froze, seeing tears started come out from her eyes. '...is she so scare to be punished?'

But instantly, TianTian gave a anger look to the king,

”Look at what you've done!!!!”

'What??? How come she angry back to me?'

TianTian kneeled down and cried...

”What a poor vase....I'm so so sorry, little vase...it's all his fault...he was not supposed to surprise me like that...but i'm also wrong, i didn't hold you tightly just now, i'm sorry i could not protect you...hik hik...” She started to collect the big pieces of the broken vase...while she kept crying...
