Apathetic Bride!

"No, it's okay. Go eat first Miss Fan." Shan Lee could only reply like this.

Fan Xifeng glanced at her grandparents, silently telling them to deal with the organizer themselves. When the maids saw the oldest Fan miss, walking towards the kitchen, one of them hurriedly approached her. "Miss, your mother cooked chicken porridge earlier. She especially instructed to have it reheat it and serve for you. Do you have any other request?"

"French toast. Thank you." Fan Xifeng replied shortly. Another maid offered her a glass of milk and a tray of fruits when she was seated in front of the dining table. "Do you know where mother and Fan Xiaodan went to?" Fan Xifeng finally asked after realizing both women weren't around. Her father, she was sure, is in the company busy for his overtaking.

"The madam went to visit one of her friend's house early today. Young miss Xiaodan went with her. The madam was supposed to bring you as well but since you were still sleeping, they just let you be."

Fan Xifeng nodded her head. "Okay thank you. You can go ahead with your work. Just let the one who reheat the porridge to serve me."

"Yes miss."

After a while, the maid entered with a bowl and place it carefully in front of Fan Xifeng. The delicious smell of the porridge wafted through Fan Xifeng's nostrils. The maid then served the french toast she requested. It's crispy and buttery toasted smell blend with the porridge made Fan Xifeng finally felt her hunger. She was about to take her spoon to savor the porridge when she saw the maid stood beside, waiting for her every demand.

She looked up. "Go on with your job. You don't have to wait on me."

"But miss,"

"It's okay. I'll tell my grandparents about it, don't worry." Fan Xifeng isn't actually a very kind of person but she would always try to be nice and humane with how she treat other people lower in status than her. She believes that when you treat people with dignity and show them respect, they would also return it with their loyalty.

After eating her brunch, Fan Xifeng remembered that she's supposed to talk to Shan Lee but with a glint in her eyes, she decided to stroll around the backyard of the mansion.

Fan Xifeng isn't actually familiar in this backyard because there was never a part in that flashing memory that she ever step foot on this area. She only could see it from her balcony and never really tried to visit this place.

Approaching, Fan Xifeng saw a white painted wood swing tied on a tree's branch and decided to seat on it to relax and feel the slightly warm breeze of the wind since it's already early noon. The backyard of her grandparent's lot was really large that there was a little field of mo bamboo. As Fan Xifeng looked over and survey her surroundings, she could also see various trees like mahogany, acacia and nara. Hearing the chirping of the birds, Fan Xifeng closed her eyes enjoying the serene and peaceful atmosphere. Just as when her subconscious drifts away, Fan Xifeng's phone rings. She heaved a sigh and looked at it, unknown number. "What the hell." She murmured remembering the weird call from another phone number last night.

Trying to make sure who the person is before acting on it yet, she answered, "Hello?"

However, the other side remained silent. Frowning, she dropped the call without another word and blocked the number just like what she did with the other number last night. "So many weird things happening in my life right now and this one wanted to add on the list." 'But this phone call, this do not happen on the dream! Then who the hell is the strange caller?!'

Having her peace of mind unfortunately broken, Fan Xifeng stood up and walked away to return back to the mansion. 'Won't be bringing my phone with me the next time I come here.' Fan Xifeng thought.

"She's finally here." Grandma heard her grandmother talked about her as she passed by the living room.

Fan Xifeng stopped and look at them, 'Ah yes, Shan Lee is still here.' "Grandma?" Fan Xifeng greets in a confused manner.

Grandma Fan laugh. "Oh this child! Miss Guan was asking if you have any more ideas to add on the event because she's leaving."

Fan Xifeng "Oh". She was having her peace time from the backyard thinking that Shan Lee would leave anyway as she wasn't in the mood to deal with her much that there's a lot of thoughts filling her mind however, who would have thought that she would be patient enough to wait for her.

"I'm sorry I didn't know. Nothing actually. Be it as originally planned."

Shan Lee's expression turned inexplicable. 'These, these young woman! I doubt anyone would believe that the future bride is as apathetic as this!' Shan Lee thought, however her face is clothed with a smile.

"If that's the case, I will do so eldest Miss Fan. Oh by the way, would you mind if I asked for your number? It is so I could personally update you or if I have something to ask about your personal opinion."

Fan Xifeng just realized that she seemed uninterested with how she acted and decided not to embarrass both herself and that man. But another problem arises, since she had been receiving strange call from another number, she planned to change her current one. "Would you rather mind I get yours? I was planning to change number. I'll message you once I got a new one."

"Oh then here." Guan Shan Lee then gave her number to.

"If there's nothing else, I would go first. Good day master Fan, madam Fan and eldest Miss Fan."

Grandma Fan asked for a maid to send the organizer outside. Once Guan Shan Lee was out, grandma Fan turned to Fan Xifeng. "My dear, I know that you are not into this arrange marriage. I and your grandpa were still grateful that you are an obedient child despite of it. But I hope I'm not asking too much if you show a little enthusiasm with the planning of your engagement party and hopefully with your future marriage. It's fine if it's only between us family members because we can understand..... but if words spread out and reach the Han family, this might create unnecessary trouble. So please dear, I hope you can understand grandma and won't hate grandma for this request?"

Fan Xifeng didn't reply but rather just embrace grandma Fan. "This granddaughter would do what pleases grandma."

Grandma Fan's eyes moistened as she turned to her old husband who was looking at them with a gentle expression. "This child."
