By a few requests, I have mulled it over and was able to think of a chapter with Wang in it!

And good news! I will be able to get more updates in before the trip! I got about two more weeks before vacation! I don't know how many I can shove out, but I'm going to be working them!


Wang looked up when Felix shifted near him. His frosty grey were turned across the room, his lips curled down into a displeased frown. Wang followed his gaze, seeing the blonde girl from earlier glaring at their table, her lips in a sneer.

Wang narrowed his eyes at her, still sore with her pettiness and dishonor.

He is quite relieved that she was taken off the judging for his soup.

And for his company.

He watched from the corner of his eye as his great niece reached over and touched the translator's hand, drawing him away from his glare at the rude girl. Felix spoke to her lowly, his voice bordering something that sounded like a growl to Wang's ears.

Not that his great niece was intimidated by the low sound. She sighed and replied coolly, sharing his agitation with her own roll of her eyes as she gave the blonde girl a stink eye. Then with a bright smile, she reassured the blond easily. Wang caught the word hot; Wang's lips twitched up as the blond blushed darkly. He quickly tried to hide it by taking a sip of his tea while his great niece giggled.

When the flush died away from his cheeks, Felix straightened and turned to him, asking with a polite smile. "Marinette and I are wonderng if your stay been enjoyable so far, Master Cheng?"

"I have," he reassured, "Paris is very beautiful. Most of the people are very courteous. I can see why my niece enjoys staying here."

Felix nodded, pleased. Turning to Marinette, he translated for her.

She had a relieved smile on her lips. She spoke quickly in reply, glancing to him as her hands moved with her speech. None of her words he caught, unfortunately. He turned to Felix as the blond met his eyes.

Felix translated, "We're happy to hear that you've been largely enjoying your stay. And we are very sorry for our classmate. She is... difficult." Clearing his throat like he was trying to brush displeasing thoughts of the girl away, Felix continued, "Marinette hopes to one day go to China, see where Sabine grew up in Wenzhou."

Pleased, Wang promised, "It's a very beautiful city."

Felix echoed him to Marinette.

Her smile grew, blue eyes gleaming excitedly.

To Felix, she spoke shyly, hopeful.

Wang caught the word come and me.

Felix smiled, reaching over and squeezing her hand, saying something with I and happy.

Wang smiled, already having a good guess on their conversation.

Easy conversation passed between the three. Wang offered recipes that Marinette listened to eagerly, Felix provided him with some of her skills and hobbies, and his great niece was happy to show some of the designs she's done.

He was very excited to see that she had a cheongsam in development.

When music started to play in the background, he saw Marinette perk, glancing towards the open floor in interest. Noticing her shift, Felix murmured something to her.

Flushing, she tried to wave it off, talking too quickly for Wang to catch any of her words.

Her partner had no issue.

His tone was insistent as he answered her, standing up, he held out his hand to her, imploring her to take it. Blushing darkly, she flashed her great uncle a sheepish smile. When Felix turned to him, Wang waved them away. "Go have fun," he encouraged.

Nodding his thanks, Felix lead his nervous great niece out onto the dance floor.

Picking up a cup of tea, he leaned back in his seat, observing the two as Felix directed her into the right positions. By his own wary expression, Wang wondered how much of a dancer the blond was.

His great niece certainly didn't offer any confidence herself with how she pouted down at her feet.

"May I sit?"

Wang gave a start, turning to see an old Chinese man asking for the empty seat near him.

"You may," Wang welcomed, "tea? It's jasmine."

"I would love jasmine," the old man proclaimed, glancing towards the dance floor, where the two were awkwardly shuffling about, Marinette giggling while Felix smiled, trying to focus on their grace, and not bump into any other couples that were there dancing with them.

Key word being trying.

Evidently these two didn't have any grace to give with dancing.

Wang found it to be very amusing. Even more so when Felix accidentally bumped into a waiter, sending a drink over the blonde girl, making her sputter in rage and stomp off. Marinette's hand instantly flew to her mouth to try and hide her laugh, and Felix quickly twisted them around, offering a clipping apology as he bore a small smile. Marinette buried her face in his chest, shoulders shaking as she giggled.

"They are very cute," the old man comments fondly.

Wang hummed in agree, watching as Marinette withdrew, grinning up at him. She jumped up to her tippy toes to catch a quick kiss from him.

Very good choice.


Marinette and dancing, I'm open to her being a good dancer or not.

Same for Felix, I can see him being a decent dancer to being a good one, or at least knowing basics to certain dances; probably not enjoying it too much. Or maybe just not a good dancer at all.

For my own personal giggles, I'm having these two both be awkward dancers in this.
