After Erbao had feasted somewhat, her little belly quickly became stretched.
Her great-grandma had prepared too many yummy snacks and she could not control herself.
Sitting nearby, Dabao reminded his sister gently, “That's quite enough. There's lunch coming soon.”
Erbao herself felt she must not eat too much. What if Great-grandma brought out tastier snacks? Then I can't fit
them in my tummy.
“I am not eating anymore.” Erbao clapped her little hands. “I'm a sweet young thing with self-control.”
Dabao glanced at her baby sister. Oh, my goodness! You have the audacity to use “self-control!”
“Dabao, come with me to my study. Let me teach you some calligraphy.” Nan Zhengde was here to abduct the
child.
“Dabao has just arrived, and he hasn't eaten many mouthfuls of snacks. Why are you asking him to practice
calligraphy? Darling, you are such a troublemaker!” Feng Wan chided her husband.
“I'm not making him practice anything, but just watch me write. Children need cultural edification. All you do is stuff
them with food!”
“What's wrong with feeding them? Food is important to mankind. Adults need to eat and children even more so. You
write all the time. Does writing satisfy your hunger?”
Nan Zhengde shook his head. “Speaking this way in front of children is not good for their education. Dabao, let's go.
Erbao, do you want to come along?”
“I'll be with you in a moment, Great-grandpa. I want to have a chat with Great-grandma first. She's so lonely!”
Erbao replied lovingly.
“Oh dear! Look at my good little great-grandchild. She knows I'm lonely. You must spend more time with me, then.
Your great-grandpa only reads and writes all day long. His life is so meaningless!” Feng Wan continued to chide her
husband.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter Nan Zhengde had taken Dabao to his study, she picked up another piece of snack. “One more, dear?”
“No, Great-grandma, I'm full. I cannot eat anymore.” Erbao waved her little hands.
“Don't worry, they are not around. It's okay if you take one more piece. Children digest fast. It's all right to eat a bit
more!”
“All right, then. One last piece!” Erbao could not resist the temptation.
Feng Wan laughed happily. With the twins around, life seemed much more interesting to her.
“Great-grandma, I have something important to tell you. Only you can help me with this.” The girl spoke suddenly
and solemnly.
“What's it about? As long as you're not asking for the stars or the moon, I can get you anything you want. Is it
pastry from some specific shop? I can buy the whole shop and have them send pastry to you every day.”
“Great-grandma, you are really wonderful. I love you!”
Erbao, the little flatterer, went over to her great-grandma and kissed her on the cheek.
Feng Wan hugged her, feeling terribly pleased.
“Tell me, exactly, what you want? I really hope it's not the stars or the moon. There isn't a ladder long enough to
reach them,” the elderly said jokingly.
Erbao giggled. “Great-grandma, you're so funny. I don't want the stars or the moon, so you needn't look for a long
ladder.”
“Tell me what you want. I shall send someone to buy it immediately!”
“I want to act in a movie,” Erbao said.
“You want to act in a movie?” Feng Wan did not understand.
“That's right. I want to make movies and be an actor, just like Mommy.”
Now, Feng Wan understood. “Our family is not short of money. Why do you want to make movies?”
“I just want to. Mommy is shooting a movie and her character has a child. They need a child for this role. I want to
play this role. Then, my real mommy will also be my mommy in the movie. Don't you think this is fun?”
Erbao expressed herself clearly so her great-grandma could understand what she said.
“You just want to be a child star, not for the money, but for fun?”
“Yeah. In school, the teacher often asked me to play a role, and every time the teacher would praise me for doing it
well. Now that I have the opportunity to act in a movie, of course I have to try it. Besides, it's by invitation, not just
me wanting to do it.”
“Who invited you?”
Erbao opened her mouth, but she did not know the person's name.
She explained, “Seems like Daddy's friend. Someone who makes movies.”
“That means Nan Chen already knows about this, but he doesn't allow you to go. Is that right?”
“He and Mommy said they would think it over, but I fear their final decision is not to let me go.” Erbao pouted.
“So, you are telling me this, hoping I'll convince Nan Chen to let you go, aren't you?”
Erbao nodded. “Great-grandma, you love me most. I'm sure you will support me.”
“Yeah, it's no big deal, but why are you so keen to make a movie? Is it just for fun?” Feng Wan wanted to
understand the reason.
“If I make a movie now, it would be meaningful to me when I watch it years later as a grownup. Furthermore, it's
done together with Mommy. It's perfect timing! I won't miss school since it's the school holiday. When I'm grown up,
there'll be more studying to do. I won't have time to make movies. So, Great-grandma, please help me convince
Daddy and Mommy.”
Erbao tugged at the woman's hand, rocking it urgently.
It wasn't easy to refuse an adorable little girl's request.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Fine, fine, I'll help you. I'll call Nan Chen now and ask him to arrange it.”
“Thank you, Great-grandma!” Erbao was overjoyed.
This was the main purpose of her coming to the Commoner Residence today. She knew there were only two people
in this world whom her father must listen to—his grandparents.
Nan Zhengde was sometimes strict, and Erbao dared not try to enlist him. So, she selected Feng Wan for her
scheme.
It was apparent, now, that she was right. Her great-grandma would support her.
“You said you missed me and wanted to visit, but this is the real reason, isn't it?” Feng Wan realized she had been
tricked.
“No, of course not. I want to see you too.” Erbao quickly added.
“You cunning little brat. You know how to use me.” The elderly flicked the girl's forehead with her finger.
Erbao giggled and hugged her neck. “Great-grandma, you are the best. I love you.”
“Really?”
“Of course, it's true. Great-grandma, when I grow up, I shall give you lots and lots of yummy food.” Erbao said,
lovingly.
“Great, that's nice.” Feng Wan was so touched that her eyes brimmed with tears.
“Great-grandma, do you like Mommy?”
“What do you mean? What do you want me to do for your mommy?”
“Nothing. Grandma doesn't like Mommy. So, I'm worried you won't like her, either,” Erbao said.
“Don't worry about your grandma. She's not a good woman. She is not in control of this family, so her decisions
don't count. If you need anything, come to see me. I am in control,” Feng Wan said with authority.
“Please ask Mommy and Daddy to get married, then.”
The old woman laughed. “I've already predicted you have more requests. However, I don't have control over this
matter. It is something they must decide. I cannot get involved.”
