141 Chapter 141: Paris 4

Charlie went out of the museum to smoke. A few minutes later TP also went out of the exhibit.

She tried so hard to remember who Brandon Zhou was but to no avail.

She figured she would just as her friend later. Then she decided to look for Charlie who was sitting at a nearby bench.

She immediately notice his sulking aura. She rolled her eyes but she's somewhat felt guilty after she lashed out on him eariler.

An idea popped in her mind. She sat beside Charlie and in her most high pitched cutesy voice she called onto him.

"Honey, Fan-Fan wants some ice cream. Hmmph.hmmph."

She squealed while holding Charlie's arm and slowly swaying it with her puppy eyes pleadingly looking at him.

She saw it on one of her favorite Kdramas and so she decided to copy the aegyo (¹) of the actress.

Charlie choked on his smoke as he heard TP's baby voice. Then he burst out laughing.

Not just because TP looks so adorable but because TP had made another slip of tongue without her even realizing it.

'Her nickname is Fan-Fan, so cute.' He thought.

"Baby, you know you are the prettiest girl in the world. But please don't ever do that again."

Charlie smirked as he lighlty pinch TP's nose.

She was now so red from embarrassment.

She didn't know what had gotten into her. All she know is that she wanted to somewhat make him smile.

"I especially did it for you! It's your fault for being so petty!"

TP snarled at him while covering her flushed face as he continued to laugh enjoying TP's tsundere (²) side.

"Stop laughing. Im not gonna do it again ever."

"Alright, alright I'm sorry for sulking. Thanks so much for cheering me up!"

"..."

Charlie lightly kiss her forehead. Then slowly pried her hands away from her blushing face.

"I,.. I forgive you for being stupid."

She stutteringly said. She felt guilty saying harsh things to him when she knows he was just trying to help her.

"It's alright. Let's go back."

Charlie snickered trying to suppress the urge to pinch TP's cheeks.

The truth is Charlie didn't really mind what she had said.

He kinda understand that TP was just worried and concern for her friend's welfare that's why she was so keen on investigating about the portrait.

They walked back together to the hotel holding hands while TP was heartily eating her ice cream.

They both looked so happy and contented as they both enjoyed each others company walking around the cobblestoned streets of Paris.
