An Hao froze and then slowly turned to the rest of them. His eyes immediately fixed on the Emperor and he immediately hopped over to him and opened the box, "Your majesty, you're here too! I made these, try one. Tell me if they taste authentic."

{...How could I have missed the Emperor's presence?! Right in front of my eyes too! How stupid! >_

The Emperor looked down at the box and then glanced at Lei Xing to catch her glance at the cakes and then look away, still looking upset. The Emperor knew Lei Xing enjoyed her food quite a bit and had faith in An Hao's cooking and so went, "Xing er', you try it." In a bid to cheer her up. He was not pleased with Tung Mei at the moment for upsetting her again after he finally got her mood back up.

An Hao immediately frowned and quietly mumbled, "There's barely enough for two."

Lei Xing glanced at the box and then at An Hao, who was glaring at her and said, "I think not." Then she looked away again.

{...I don't think I'm ready to die for some cakes, no matter how good they are -_-)...}

The Emperor narrowed his eyes at An Hao, and An Hao looked down pouting. He was only willing to make an exception and share because it was the Emperor. But now the Emperor wanted to give his precious hard-worked snacks to this hateful girl, who wanted to kill him. How could he be happy with it?

{...Not only is he going around with this girl, but now he wants me to feed her too? Isn't this a bit too much?...}

"Jiejie can have some of mine." Xiao Ting said smiling at Lei Xing, An Hao narrowed his eyes at her and then glanced at the Emperor, then at Lei Xing. He gave up and said, "Fine, you can take one from mine, just one." He had made them especially for Xiao Ting, so she had to get the full experience otherwise, it will not be worthwhile.

Lei Xing looked at An Hao's aggrieved expression as he begrudgingly held the box towards her and shook her head, "I really don't want any."

{...Dude at least hide your evil eye -_-)...}

An Hao smiled and then nodded, "That's good."

{...I guess she's not so unreasonable after all...}

Xiao Ting narrowed her eyes at him and he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What?"

Xiao Ting then picked one and held it out to Lei Xing and An Hao immediately said, "Xiao Ting, she said she doesn't want any...Just enjoy them yourself." An Hao said smiling at Xiao Ting as he circled her hand to her mouth.

"Xiao Ting?" Lei Yong asked with a raised eyebrow. An Hao suddenly remembered there were other people there and glanced towards Lei Yong and then his eyes darted away and he looked back at him and added, "...Miss...Xiao Ting...Miss..."

While An Hao was looking at Lei Yong, the Emperor picked one of the cakes and forced it in Lei Xing's hand. An Hao realized this too late and could frown at her as she ate it. Lei Xing blinked.

{...Does this guy have a problem with me? Or is he just very possessive of his snacks? He kind of reminds me of that stupid doctor with his ring...And yes, I said stupid, if you don't like it then leave! -_-)...}

The bracelet did not respond and Lei Xing frowned, she was feeling very upset right now.

Lei Yong walked up to An Hao with a frown and asked in a low voice, "What exactly are you doing?"

"What do you mean? I - I brought snacks!" An Hao responded slowly stepping to the side. He did not think he was doing anything wrong but his instincts demanded this response. They had never failed him before so he complied.

Lei Yong narrowed his eyes at him and An Hao immediately shoved the box into Xiao Ting's arms and said, "Don't share." Then he swiftly jumped on his horse and sped off.

Lei Yong was unfortunately too slow and watched his departing form in an annoyance. The Emperor watched the scene and chuckled in amus.e.m.e.nt.?Lei Yong turned back to find Xiao Ting happily eating and sharing the cakes with the others. He immediately pulled her to the side and asked, "That brat, An Hao and...What is this?"

Xiao Ting raised her eyebrows, perplexed and said, "He's your friend, isn't he? He often comes over to look for you but you're always gone and he always brings snacks so...He's nice." She finished as she continued to eat and offered some to Lei Yong.

Lei Yong scrutinized Xiao Ying's expression and concluded she looked innocent. He did not want to put any ideas in her head and so he put on a smile, took one of the cakes and walked over to Tung Mei, who was still pouting in Lei Xing's direction. He handed her the cake and then asked with a frown, "When did that start?"

Tung Mei glanced at him and offhandedly responded, "He's been coming over every couple days for the last few weeks. Apparently they are "snack friends"."

"What? Why didn't you tell me?" Lei Yong exclaimed.

"Well, you didn't ask." Tung Mei flatly responded. She was really not in a good mood, not even for him. Lei Xing was angry with her and there was nothing she could do.

"What's wrong with you now? Is something going on with Xing er'?" Lei Yong asked, perplexed with her change in mood. It was she and Xiao Ting who happily dragged him out.

"Nothing...I'm fine." Tung Mei mumbled and continued pouting in Lei Xing's direction. Lei Yong sighed and looked towards Xiao Ting who was now happily talking to a disgruntled Lei Xing. It was obvious, Lei Xing was also in a bad mood and a perplexed Emperor was at her side, still trying to figure out what happened.

Lei Yong looked at Tung Mei's upset expression and sighed annoyed that nobody told him about An Hao coming over. He and An Hao had met several times over the course of the last few weeks and he never mentioned going to his house. Worse yet, going to his house to feed his little sister.

{...That brat never agrees to cooks for anyone else except the Emperor...And well, himself...But then why Xiao Ting and several times too?... Nice? An Hao nice?... What the hell is that kid up to here?...}
