"Princess!"
-----
In a carriage not far from the Heaven Restaurant
"Oh, man! What an exhausting day…"
"Sorry I made you follow me around all day, Yan."
"No, don't be. I was having fun too, Xinya. Yet, I feel like shouting and letting my tiredness out."
"Haha, I get it."
Feng Xinya and Li Yan were inside the green draped carriage, sitting across from each other. Li Yan had a dark honey-like skin complexion with some scars on his body while Xinya had a skin complexion like milk with jade-like flawless body.
"It is so considerate and kind of Princess Fai Fai to invite us to her restaurant." Li Yan said. "And right after we got from looking for a gift for your sister."
"Yes, it was very nice of her." Feng Xinya slimed softly. "I heard they have a new menu."
"Really? I haven't tried it."
"Anyway, what did you buy for my sister, Yan?"
"Hmm… that is a secret."
"What? Come on, I let you take a look at mine." Feng Xinya helplessly frowned.
"You will see it in a few days anyway." Li Yan cheekily smiled. While the two best friend were talking inside, the carriage suddenly stopped. Feng Xinya frowned, he asked his driver.
"What is wrong? Why did you stop?"
"Young Master, there is a huge commotion in front of the restaurant."
"A commotion?"
"Eh? That is interesting, why don't we get out and check what is it." Li Yan proposed. "I know that you don't like crowds but I should try asking, you know."
Feng Xinya chuckled. If Feng Xinya was like the moon, then his best friend, Li Yan, was like the sun.
"Well-" Feng Xinya suddenly had a weird feeling about this. "Driver, take care of the carriage and the gifts, I will personally check what is going on."
"Eh? Seriously?" Li Yan did not see that coming. "Wait! Wait for me Xinya!"
The two young men went into the crowd and painstakingly pushed themself to the front.
"Excuse me, coming though, I am sorry Lady. Wait, Xinya, wait!" Li Yan finally catched up to Feng Xinya, his best friend was standing on the very front of the crown. "Phew... damn, you are fast."
Li Yan patted Feng Xinya's shoulder but did not see his reaction. Feng Xinya was standing there, like a stone, with his eyes widened. "Xinya?" Li Yan looked at the center of the crown and his eyes widened too.

Han Fai Fai's carriage managed to push through the crowd, her carriage which had symbols of the royal family on it helped a lot. Every Time people saw that symbol, they would give way to her. Fai Fai looked from the drapes. She did not like the sounds of commotion in front of her restaurant. Moreover, two important people were coming tonight so she was very annoyed.
"What is going on here?"
Han Fai Fai scanned through the crowd. She was satisfied when she saw people turning their attention toward her. Her voice was trained so it will sound lovely and ladylike by her personal tutor. No one managed to not turn her way when she used this tone of voice.
All of them looked at her except three. One was the deaf boy, others were Feng Xinya and Li Yan. Han Fai Fai did not know that the boy was deaf so she was not sure why that poor looking boy did not look her way but Feng Xinya was different. He is her betrothed, how could he not recognized her voice and turn his attention to her?
Han Fai Fai knitted her lovely brows and looked at the direction Feng Xinya was looking at. She gasped.
There stood a woman whose beside her was a boy. Both made her feel a certain kind of familiarity.
Who are they?
Han Fai Fai pinched her eyes. She decided to get out of the carriage and looked at the two more closely.
As Han Fai Fai got closer and closer, Han Lian Ai became multiple times more panicky. Her heart was beating faster and faster and more and more cold sweat was falling from her forehead. She could hide her face but not everything else like her body's posture and voice!
Han Lian Ai looked left and right and saw no room to run. She looked to a place far away and saw Ni Wen made it halfway there. She wondered if Ni Wen could jump and bring them to the carriage but with Han Fai Fai already there, it would be rude of them and would even count as offensive to do something like that.
If only she could make Han Fai Fai unable to recognize them right away.
While Han Lian Ai was thinking of another plan, Han Fai Fai had already arrived at their place.
In an instant, Han Lian Ai curtsied. "This subject greets the Second Princess."
The people around the place finally come to their senses and greeted Han Fai Fai too. Han Wu Xia's eyes widened. He was the Crown Prince and never bowed to anyone but his father and mother. He almost exploded when Hui Lei made his sister's body bow to Han Fai Fai.
Han Wu Xia sent signals. It was a signals like a glare that can pierce through the veil. More or less, the signal was like this.
"What the hell are you doing?!"
"Shuush, just follow my lead!"
Behind the screen, Han Wu Xia frowned severely. He ended up bowing against his will.
"Rise." Han Fai Fai said delightfully. "It is pleasant to know that you recognize this Princess."
"Of course." Han Lian AI tried to make her voice sound a bit more girly. "Is there anyone in the capital that does not know the beautiful Second Princess?"
"My…" Han Fai Fai loved praises no matter who said them. Han Lian Ai went to the good side of her heart immediately. She smiled like a blooming flower and answered. "You are good with flattery."
"Princess…" Han Fai Fai heard Yazhu called her.
"Oh, yes. What happened here? How come so many people are surrounding our restaurant?"
"That, that is…" Qui tried to explain.
"Second Princess, there was a commotion before." Han Lian Ai answered before Qui could say anything else.
"A commotion?
"Yes, it's because these two claimed the pitiful boy there was a thief. But this subject thinks there was a misunderstanding."
"Oh, really?" Han Fai Fai frowned her brows. "What kind of misunderstanding?"
"The boy is deaf." Han Lian Ai voice was firm as she said. "These two man failed on understanding him and passed judgement on him one sidedly. Second Princess is fair, this subject will dare to bring this up in front of the Second Princess so they will be judged fairly."
"Is that so, Yuzhu, Qui?"
"It, it was the cashier employee, Young, Young Miss! He, he was slacking around and did not receive the boy's money correctly."
"No, it was't me! There are no money in the first place." The cashier man rebuked.
"Silence! This Second Princess did not permit you to talk." Han Fai Fai looked at the cashier and marked the man behind the desk. Han Lian Ai smiled and continued to reprimand.
