With a smile bright enough to light the room, Mei explained, "It's for the baby!"
"Yeah, master," Lian echoed, leaning forward with a conspiratorial tone. "You will be eating for three soon."
Han Xin couldn't hold back a chuckle. But when he caught sight of Xiang Yu's eyes narrowing at him, he coughed, turning away to suppress his grin.
Xiang Yu raised an eyebrow. "You want ice cream, don't you? That's why you're being all extra."
"Yes!" Lian admitted eagerly, while Mei added, "No, no!" her laughter was nervous.
"Is it a yes or a no?" Xiang Yu pressed, a teasing smile on his lips.
In unison, Lian and Mei chirped, "It's a yes!"
Han Xin looked amused. "Why can't they have some? What did they do now?"
"They were smoking and lied about it," Xiang Yu replied without hesitation.
Marshal Wu's eyes widened in disbelief. "They what?" he asked, shocked. "Since when do you two smoke?"
Lian flung her hands up in defence. "We didn't mean to!"
