16 A Dinner with the Beast 2 (1/2)

In the room, LiMingHu found out that TianTian had taking a nap on the sofa. He walked closer but without any sound.Then he saw there was a little piece of cake on TianTian's lip.He touched the lip with his thumb to remove the piece, but it awaken TianTian, she startled and woke up immediately, her face turns red...

”You...you has return...”

LiMingHu pleased to see TianTian's reaction, he then purposely ate the cake piece on his thumb, but he looks intensely to TianTian,

”Hm...so sweet”

TianTian tried to cover her shy and try to divert his attention,

”Now what do you want me to do? Do I still need to wait here for you all the day? You make me die from boring here!”

The King closely looked at her face and said,

”Without my permission, you even cannot die leaving me, TianTian.Come on...” He pulled TianTian's hand again, out from his office.They entered the lift.

In the lift, TanTan dared herself to complaint,

”Where are we going now? Can you please just tell me before you drag me?”

”Well, I don't want to ruin the surprise...” LiMingHu smiled teasing her,

”Surprise?” TianTian wondered in scare, will be this one of his crazy surprise type? Since they met, TianTian felt she had enough to get unpleasing surprises in her life.But she decided not to fight yet, she just obediently entered the car with the king.

And after a few minutes, they arrives at the Li hotel again.But this time the King took her to a boutique in the hotel, the manager and other staff in the boutique greets the king politely,

”Change her now!” LiMingHu's command was immediately be done by the staff.They guided TianTian to the change room and then helped her to change her cloth, make up and put some accessories, TianTian realizes on her neck was being put the same necklace like before.It reminded her what happened to that night, when the king jealousy angered to her coz of meeting her brother.TianTian touches the necklace nervously and gulped,

'What is his plan this time? Changing me into a doll like this? Is he asking me to accompany him again to some event?'

When TianTian was ready, she looked to her own reflection in the mirror.Once again she became so pretty in her blue short dress this time and simple hair ties.

”The lady is ready, Sir” announced the worker to LiMingHu, while giving a way for TianTian to walk out from changing room.

LiMingHu was stunned,

'This is the girl that I want so much...she is so astonishing and adorable...'

LiMingHu smiled, he offers his hand to TianTian,

”Shall we?”

TianTian had a little bit doubt, but she finally took LiMingHu's hand.In her mind, she was ensuring herself to cooperate with the beast to find out his weakness.

Then both of them moved to other floor, which was the 5 stars restaurant of Li Hotel, 'Star Li Restaurant'; where is known as a luxury and high-class restaurant in the city.TianTian felt amazed with the atmosphere of the restaurant.But what surprised her most that it was empty, no other customers at all.All restaurant servants welcomed LiMingHu as the only customer for that night.

”Please this way, Sir...”

The waiter lead them to the most vip table, where they can see a view of city night from 500th floor in the wall glass beside their table.

'This is crazy, he ordered one entire expensive restaurant just to have dinner with me?'

TianTian can't stop herself to feels flattered about it.But again she reminded herself to have self control.She, TianTian was not a materialistic woman. 'The beast is showing off his wealth, I won't easily moved by that.'

LiMingHu was enjoying TianTian's changing looks, he could clearly saw what was struggling in her mind.

”So do you like this place?”

”Its...fine...” TianTian actually want to scream, 'Its too much.. you wasting too much money, which could be used to feed the needy out of the street!!!'

”Hm...you act nice tonight.That kind a weird...Are you finally giving up to me?”

The King teased her, TianTian stared fiercely to him,

”No...I am not, I just wanna to make a peace with you for awhile...”

”Oh ,is that so? Well, it is better if we can eat in peace...but somehow I miss your fierce acts” LiMingHu smirked, and gestures to the waiters to serve the food.

When the food has come, TianTian once again keep reminding her to control herself coz she was now almost drooled seeing the delicious steak which served in her plate.

”Now enjoy the food...” LiMingHu started to cut the steak and eat,

TianTian didn't wait any longer to eat also.In a few minutes, her plate became empty completely and also with another dishes.LiMingHu seemed glad to see TianTian enjoying her food.After all food had been served, LiMingHu gestured the servant to pour the red wine.

”This is Domaine Leroy Musigny Grand Cru 2012, a sumptuous cornucopia of flowers, gentle and delicate with silky tannins...” The servant who is actually a sommelier was giving the explanation of the wine.TianTian couldn't understand it at all, but what she knew that the red wine must be so expensive...

When the sommelier left them, LiMingHu raised the wine glass to have a toast with TianTian's glass.

”Cheers for a peaceful dinner”

TianTian felt the same.The dinner was not too bad, although the King didn't say anything during the meal, but somehow she felt quite comfort and unexpected enjoying the meal.So she raised her glass too, but before they finish the toast, a loud voice sounded from outside of the restaurant.Someone seemed barged in and complained,

”What do you mean, you can't accept another guest tonight! Don't you know who I am!! Beside who is so dared reserved entire of my favourite restaurant tonight Hah!! I wanna to see the person by myself..”

What a shock when LiMingHu and TiantIan saw who came.It was Philip Huang, and he was accompanied by WenWen.Four of them clearly surprised to see each others.

”WenWen...” TianTian called her name but WenWen threw her face to other side and gesturing that she was really really upset

While Philip Huang obviously was unpleasing to see LiMingHu the one who reserved entire restaurant.

”So...its our President Li! No wonder they won't let me in....but as the owner of this hotel, should you dominate the entire restaurant for yourself??? I am afraid it won't good for the business later...”

Philip Huang clearly mocked him.But LiMingHu didn't give a lot of respond, he just stayed sit calmly and answered,

”Well, Mr Huang...like you said, I am the owner of this hotel, so I think I have right to use this restaurant for my benefit also.”
