1273 Chapter 10 Mao Mao Love Story
"Festival?" Mao Mao tilted his head in bewilderment. It's true that there would be a festival tomorrow, mainly to celebrate the emperor's birthday.
But...why this girl asked him?
Fidgeting, Fen Wén squeezed her palm and spoke in a faint whisper, "T-that...w-will you go to the f-festival?" The girl lowered her head as she couldn't look straight at Mao Mao when she spoke.
This is too nerve-wracking!
Mao Mao saw Fen Wén's trembling shoulder and a sigh escaped his lips, "Well even if I want to, I won't be able to go, " he smiled bitterly, "I have a lot of work to do, as usual."
One could hear the sadness in his voice as he spoke. Fen Wén who noticed this couldn't help but feel bad for him. The girl's heart ached for the young man in front of her.
He was around her age, still young, still a teenager yet he didn't have a lot of free time because he was the youngest prime minister at their kingdom.
The old prime minister retired and since no one was more capable than this cute panda, he became the new prime minister.
Feeling a bitterness in her heart, Fen Wén softly spoke, "Master...can you take a break for a day? Just for a whole day…" she slowly raised her head after she said her piece.
At first, she just wanted to go to the festival with Mao Mao to tested her feeling toward this young man but now...she genuinely wanted him to enjoy his day, having fun like others of the same age.
"A day?" Mao Mao raised one of his eyebrows in interest. He didn't think of this before since he was really busy having to attend a meeting here and there but if he took a day off…
Would it be possible?
This thought never crossed his mind before but now thanks to Fen Wén, he was enlightened. He had never taken a day off even though he could. Should he use this chance to do that?
He could just ask his subordinate to finish the miscellaneous tasks and finished the rest later.
"Yes, a day...just a day...master also need a break!" Fen Wén nodded enthusiastically. Her eyes were shining as she tried hard to ensure Mao Mao would take a day off.
Coincidentally tomorrow the festival would begin so Mao Mao should go out and play!
Seeing Fen Wén was so eager to make him rest, Mao Mao secretly laughed. A smile appeared on his face as he said, "I'll try to ask for a day off, " he paused a bit and spoke again as his cheek turned a bit red, "Then maybe you can accompany me on my day off?"
He instantly regretted what he said. Surely no one would want to use their precious day off to accompany their boss, right? Fen Wén might want to go out on a date with her boyfriend or something…
This thought made Mao Mao wanted to retract what he just said when Fen Wén beat him to it, "Y-yes yes, gladly! I also want to accompany master…" the girl shyly said, "H-how about we go to the festival tomorrow?" She even suggested where to go.
Startled, Mao Mao was dumbfounded. He saw Fen Wén's face was filled with happiness and she didn't look like she's faking it. He really...was stunned silly. Why this girl looked like she enjoyed this?
He was curious yet didn't want to probe further. Still, just to be cautious, the young man asked, "Is that okay with you? In case you have a boyfriend and he dislikes me hanging out with you…"
Mao Mao's words were instantly interrupted by a loud denial from the girl, "No, no! I don't have a boyfriend nor a fiance so it's okay, really!"
Fen Wén shook her head real hard trying to reassure Mao Mao that she wasn't seeing anyone at the moment. He shouldn't misunderstand anything about her relationship with others!
"Really? I thought someone from a noble family like you will surely already get a fiance…" Mao Mao sheepishly laughed. He looked calm like usual but inside he felt relieved.
He didn't know why he felt like that.
"Ah, well usually that's the case but I'm serving at the palace so my family won't arrange a fiance or a husband for me, not yet, " Fen Wén scratched her hair feeling a bit awkward that she was talking about her circumstances.
"Alright if that's the case, let's go to the festival tomorrow morning? I'll ask for a permission today, " Mao Mao faintly laughed before he looked at his work again, determined to finish a lot of tasks today so tomorrow he could enjoy his time.
Hearing this, Fen Wén was so excited that she almost jumped if not for her good self-restraint. The girl only nodded several times with a flushed cheek, "Y-yes, yes, thank you, master!"
She hurriedly picked up the plates she collected before and rushed outside wanting to make sure her job for the day was over. She even asked for a day off tomorrow so she could go with Mao Mao.
Nighttime.
'Mao Mao agreed! He will go to the festival with me!' The girl happily thought as she went back to her chamber, wondering what clothes should she wore.
Somehow this seemed like a date, a first date because she never went out to a place alone with a boy of her age.
"Ahhh I can't wait!" Fen Wén squealed as she jumped to the bed, waiting for tomorrow.
Tomorrow would surely be exciting!
