The Great Tang Dynasty's Trans-Dimensional Conference: Little Rhinoceros Arrives

Chapter 55 Baby

"Here you go, Lin Fan!"

Little Sizi ran up to Lin Fan with the box in his arms, then lifted it up with some difficulty. Lin Fan quickly took it from him.

The wooden box was exquisitely carved on the outside and felt quite heavy in the hand. Under the expectant gazes of the two, Lin Fan slowly opened the box.

Lin Fan initially thought it would contain some local specialties or ordinary items, but when he opened it, he was surprised to find dozens of different kinds of jewelry inside.

The dazzling array of jewels almost blinded Lin Fan. Although he didn't know much about these treasures, he could tell just by looking at them that this box of items was priceless!

"These...these things are all from the rhinoceros?" Lin Fan's voice trembled slightly.

"This was given to Sizi by my mother this morning, and she specially asked me to give it to you, my lord! Although gold and silver are a bit too common, please don't mind!"

Chang Le was sincere and her words were genuine; she was even a little worried that Lin Fan would look down on these things!

Lin Fan shook his head helplessly upon hearing this. To say that "yellow and white things are a bit vulgar" is really giving himself too much credit.

Looking at the contents of the box, Lin Fan swallowed hard, temporarily suppressing his shock, and handed the box to Chang Le.

"These treasures are far too valuable; you should take them back!"

Lin Fan didn't think he had done anything extraordinary; he had only bought some food and drinks for Xiao Sizi.

"This... young master, do you not think much of these things? These are all items that your mother cherishes, and most of them were gifts from your father. Although you have no shortage of rare treasures, this is still a token of your mother's affection, so please don't refuse!"

Seeing Chang Le's resolute attitude, Lin Fan, being no saint, was naturally tempted, but in the end, he shook his head and chose to refuse.

"I appreciate your mother's kindness! Besides, since this is a gift from your father to your mother, I absolutely cannot accept it. After all, as the old saying goes, a gentleman does not take what others cherish! You should take it back!"

Seeing Lin Fan refuse, Chang Le felt a little anxious, but the saying "A gentleman does not take what others cherish" was very well said!

"Brother Lin Fan, does Mother not need money for medical treatment?" At this moment, Xiao Sizi couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, Lin Fan... Brother, you must have spent a lot of money treating Mother's illness. How about we use these jewels as payment for the consultation?" Chang Le immediately responded when she heard Xiao Sizi's words.

After all, in Chang Le's eyes, no matter how valuable these treasures were, could they possibly be more valuable than Empress Zhangsun's life?

But the moment he uttered the word "brother," Lin Fan felt even more embarrassed.

"Chang Le, don't misunderstand. Actually, I didn't spend any money on your mother's illness at all, and the joy that Xiao Sizi has brought me these past few days is something that no material thing can buy!"

At this point, Lin Fan couldn't help but reach out and pinch Xiao Sizi's cheek.

"what!"

Chang Le was somewhat incredulous upon hearing this. After all, Li Shimin had searched for famous doctors all over the Tang Dynasty for his mother's illness. Even the renowned physician Sun Simiao had visited the palace multiple times, but the conclusion was that she should rest and recuperate. The hope of a complete cure was slim!

As for the various rare medicinal materials purchased, they were countless. Although Empress Zhangsun repeatedly advised Li Shimin not to waste money and resources on her, how could Li Shimin possibly listen!

Seeing that Chang Le was somewhat skeptical, Lin Fan had no choice but to explain his second uncle's situation to him.

"That's how it is. As you've seen, I only played a communicative role, so these gifts were really unnecessary!"

With Lin Fan's patient explanation, Chang Le understood the whole story and couldn't help but admire Lin Fan's character. "Yes, I will tell Father and Mother the truth about this, but Brother Lin Fan, Chang Le can't take these things back!"

"Why...!"

Lin Fan was about to speak when Chang Le immediately interrupted him!

"Brother Lin Fan, there's no need to say anything more! You should know the saying 'A gentleman's word is his bond.' What Mother gives is equivalent to what Father gives. If you insist on making her take it back...!"

Although Chang Le didn't finish her sentence, Lin Fan could understand her meaning. After all, people in ancient times valued promises extremely much, especially since it was personally delivered by Empress Zhangsun of the Tang Dynasty. There was absolutely no reason to take it back.

Seeing that things had come to this point, Lin Fan couldn't say anything more and could only nod: "Alright, in that case, let's leave these things here for now!"

"Okay, thank you, Brother Lin Fan!"

Seeing that Lin Fan was finally willing to accept it, Chang Le breathed a sigh of relief. At least there was now hope for her mother's illness! This little bit of stuff was really nothing to the vast royal family!

"Um, you don't need to be so polite!"

Giving me such an expensive gift and then having to thank me? This puts a lot of pressure on me! Lin Fan felt even more embarrassed.

"By the way, you guys came so early, you probably haven't had breakfast yet, right? How about I order you some takeout?"

After chatting for so long, Lin Fan finally realized what was going on!

"We only made one pancake today!"

Upon hearing about food, Xiao Sizi immediately spoke up, making it clear that she hadn't eaten enough that day!

"I already ate this morning! *glug*"

As soon as Chang Le finished speaking, her stomach rumbled loudly, and she was so embarrassed that she just wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground!

"Huh, what was that sound just now?"

Lin Fan originally wanted to pretend he hadn't heard anything, but unexpectedly, Xiao Sizi suddenly jumped out again and stabbed him in the back!

Before Chang Le could speak, Lin Fan immediately spoke first.

"Sizi, you must have misheard. There's no sound at all. Come and see what you want to eat, I'll order it for you!" He said, taking out his phone and opening the food delivery app!

"How about this!" Little Sizi became interested upon hearing this and immediately moved closer to Lin Fan to look at the phone screen!

Seeing this, Chang Le secretly stuck out her tongue, her pretty face slightly flushed and hot, and could only sit on the other side of the sofa as if nothing had happened!

Lin Fan swiped his finger across the screen and quickly found a restaurant he had eaten at before, where both the taste and cleanliness were guaranteed!

"Come on, take a look, what do you want to eat?" He said, placing his phone in front of the two of them.

Little Sizi was clearly more skilled, constantly swiping her little finger across the screen.

"I want this, this, this, and this...!" In no time, Little Sizi had chosen several kinds of food!

"Sizi, there are too many choices; it'll be a waste if we can't finish them!"

Under the influence of Empress Zhangsun, Chang Le had developed a habit of not liking waste from a young age. She was a little confused and couldn't understand what the two of them were doing, but she still couldn't help but remind them.

"Oh, so you know!" Little Si pouted, looking a little unhappy!

"Haha, it's okay, if we can't finish it, we can put it in the fridge and have it as a late-night snack!"

Lin Fan patted Xiao Sizi's head. He knew that Xiao Sizi had never eaten many kinds of food before and was probably just curious, so he quickly spoke up to help.

"Hehe, Lin Fan is the best!"

Little Sizi grabbed Lin Fan's arm and shook it for a while, then stuck out her tongue at Chang Le triumphantly.

Chang Le could only shake her head helplessly. This young man spoiled Si Zi too much. Although that was what she thought, she was not unhappy at all. On the contrary, she was very happy about Lin Fan's doting on Si Zi!

After Xiao Sizi finished making her selection, Lin Fan then gestured for Chang Le to also choose a few items. Chang Le carefully took the phone, and although she was extremely surprised, she didn't dare to waste any time and simply chose two items before making any more.

Seeing this, Lin Fan didn't say anything more. He knew it was normal for the girl to be a little reserved at the moment.
