Secluded room.

Theresa entered to see Marabelle dancing to a song played by Fu Jin, Long Hua Ming, and Clark. What Aarti did was applaud in rhymic patterns. Theresa had to rub her eyes to make sure she wasn't dreaming. Gosh, Marabelle could dance this well? That's a first. As far as she knew, Marabelle doesn't know Chinese dance and had two left feet in pop music. So what was she doing? Had she deceived her all along?

"What's going on here?" she asked Fu Jin telepathically.

"Oh! This girl is quite talented. She asked us to play a song for her. Besides, she can speak Chinese now" Fu Jin replied telepathically.

"What?" Theresa couldn't believe it. How can that be possible? Marabelle only knew German and a bit of English and despite watching so many Chinese dramas, it's still impossible for her to speak Chinese. To confirm her doubts Marabelle called out to her.

"Theresa, come over here and dance with me"

Theresa's eyes became wide as saucers. "You can speak Chinese now?" she asked in disbelief.

Marabelle nodded and Long Hua Ming telepathically explained that Marabelle had finished bonding with her pet completely hence it's only natural.

"A pet? She has a pet?"

"Your mum has one too but both of them are in slumber for now. When the time is ripe, they'll wake up but none of them are aware yet and I want you to keep silent on this matter" Long Hua Ming warned.

Though she was stunned she quickly nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Grandpa Long" she replied telepathically to him.

" Oh, Theresa you're back. Take a look at Marabelle. She can dance so well" Aarti praised.

"Yes, mum. She is great" Theresa confirmed.

"Where are your pets?" Aarti asked as she couldn't find the annoying trio.

"Well, they'll be back soon. I gave them a task" replied Theresa before sitting beside her mother to cheer for Marabelle.

It didn't take them long to join Marabelle on the stage to perform a german dance. Long Ren, Bai Lu Chen, and Ju Wei came inside to see this lively scene. Three beautiful ladies dancing an unfamiliar dance to Chinese music. This made Long Ren think of Lu Wei his dear mate. If he hadn't pushed her away, maybe...maybe she'd be here now. How was she doing with Ye Feng? He doesn't know how to survive ten years without her. He really wanted to smack himself in the face again and again. He put himself into this so he deserves this suffering.

The trio took their seats at different places and nodded at each other. Each of them had a musical instrument that they were good at and after the three ladies on stage finished dancing, they applauded them and asked to get back on stage.

" Party spoilers! Not happening!"Marabelle said unhappily.

"Em...wedeeply are sorry for what we did so we prepared this performance as an apology to you all. We aren't really bad singers so please give us one more chance," said Bai Lu Chen.

"Pei! Liar! You sound worse than demons"

"Actually we trio are demons"Ju Wei rebutted.

"You" Marabelle was made speechless.

"It's just that we haven't sung in a long time. So let's be allowed to try one more time"Bai Lu Chen pleaded.

"Now I really miss my headphones"Marabelle muttered under her breath.

"Okay" Clark agreed.

"Uncle!"Marabelle whined in German.

"Little girl, let's give them a second chance alright" Clark pacified Marabelle.

"Hmph!"Marabelle sat with folded arms and crossed legs.

"You can perform but if it isn't good you'll be thrashed" warned Fu Jin.

"Yes," the trio replied and then brought out their various instruments and nodded to each other with a smile. Bai Lu Chen was holding a Gu Zheng, Long Ren had the chimes and Ju Wei had the pipa.

"You can play the pipa?"Aarti asked but this time she had spoken Chinese.

"Aarti, you can speak the language now?"Clark asked in shock. One Marabelle suddenly speaking and dancing to Chinese music had shocked him and now his wife had given him another.

"Well, it must be a miracle then. Ju Wei, don't fail me with that pipa" Aarti warned.

"We'll be singing 'Flowers blooming but dying red at west'" said Bai Lu Chen.

"What song is that?" Fu Jin asked with furrowed eyebrows. He hadn't heard of this song before.

"It's a song composed by Bai Lu Chen," said Long Ren, and Bai Lu Chen nodded.

"You may start" ordered Long Hua Ming.

"Yes," the trio nodded and took their places. Bai Lu Chen and Ju Wei sat on the ground. Only Long Ren was standing. He looked at Theresa and she nodded with a smile. He also nodded and began to play his chimes slowly. Long Hua Ming furrowed his eyebrows again as he recalled something. Long Ren was indeed good at the chimes. Able to relax your body right from the start and make you feel at ease with all mankind.
