After disconnecting the call of Li Xue, Feng Yi Lan was quick to give another call to Feng Shufen. At first, she thought he wouldn't be answering her call, but strangely he did. The moment the call got connected, she spoke feigning fear in her voice. "B-Brother, I brought WeiWei with me but now she is missing, I can't find her. What should I do?"
She said and for a good moment of time heard nothing in response. After a while, she heard the beep of disconnection. And even though the man has said nothing over the call, she knew by now he must be on his way here.
Feng Yi Lan then looked down at the little girl who was eagerly waiting to begin the show. "You are ready? Both your Mama and Daddy Angel are on their way here." She asked and the little girl blinked her eyes, nodding her head profusely.
"Aunt Yi Lan, do you know when I first came to this city, Mama had gotten lost. She was searching for me all around the airport when I finally found her. And today again she would be searching for me. And again, this time, I will find her." She said, looking around.
The mall had many people today but she was not scared. Her Mama was here and she was her Mama's lighthouse. There would be no way her Mama would miss her in between the crowd.
"Should we go now?" She asked eagerly and Feng Yi Lan held her hands to nod but not before saying.
"WeiWei, your Aunty is taking a risk in the game. You better be safe, okay? Otherwise, by the end of today, I will die in the hands of your Daddy Angel." Feng Yi Lan said and the little girl nodded obediently. Feng Yi Lan then looked around and continued, "I have kept many men here. They would be looking after you. But still, you should also look after yourself. Don't go out of their sight and the mall, okay?"
Little Li Wei smiled. "WeiWei is going to search for Mama. She won't go out and remain inside the mall since she would be coming in as well."
"Great then. Go for it. She will be here soon." Feng Yi Lan said and in the next second, she saw the little head getting mixed among the crowds. Once she was no longer in sight, she turned to look at one of the men behind her and said, "Ask everyone to be alert. She should remain safe."
The man nodded and then quickly sent the command signal to everyone.
Then suddenly, Feng Yi Lan realized, "Oh crap! Li Xue has lost her memories and from then on, she has never met WeiWei. How was she going to recognize her?" Thinking of that, she pulled out her phone to make a call, but the other end was stated to be switched off.
Gosh! All this plan was to bring the family of three to the same page of the story. Was it going to get ruined just like that?
Feng Yi Lan felt her head throbbing as she ran to check on Li Xue to see if she was still there or had she just left? Although leaving like that wouldn't be an option but still …
While at the same time on the other side, Li Xue didn't know whom she was searching for but there was a vague face in her head continuously playing. Even though she heard that name for the first time, she felt like she was very familiar with it. That name felt very normal over her lips as if she had always been calling it.
Along with that feeling, there was also anxiousness laced with desperation in her heart. From the moment she heard Feng Yi Lan saying that she was missing, it felt like she was missing a part of her.
"Xiao Meng, don't search this way. Go on in the other direction. I will look for her here." Li Xue said when even after looking for a while she found no trace of the kid she was looking for.
Xiao Meng looked a bit hesitant. "But Sister Xue, Sister Xinyi has said I should …"
"I said go and look for the little one first. I am fine and I can look for myself." She said, and in her words, there was a sense of emergency that can't be forsaken.
Xiao Meng nodded in the end. But before leaving, she said, "Okay, Sister Xue, I will go and look for her but you please take care. You have not yet recovered properly. Don't stress yourself out too much."
Li Xue didn't say more to her. Instead, she turned around and started looking once again. There were many kids around, but none looked like the one she was searching for. All the kids have always been cute but she felt that the one she was looking for was special.
Suddenly, her gaze caught the glimpse of a face and she instinctively took a step in her direction but the very next second she disappeared. After feeling her hope turning into a disappointment, her heart felt an excruciating pain that she felt was hard to endure.
Where could she search for her? She was thinking about it in her heart when suddenly she felt a tug on the edge of her clothes.
"Mama! Are you looking for me?" She heard a soft voice and the next second instinctively, the name left her lips
Li Xue turned to look down and the next greeted her the face of the most adorable kid she has ever seen in her life. Although she doesn't remember how many kids she has seen in her life, she was sure that this one was the most adorable.
Getting on her knees, she at once held her before embracing her to her heart's content. "Dear, where have you been? I have been looking for you," she murmured under her breath and heard the little one softly giggle.
WeiWei also pulled her hands up to wrap around her neck as she said, "Hehe … Mama, Weiwei has also been looking for you. Where have you been?"
Li Xue's brows jutted together as she pulled back to look at the little one's face. Her big gray eyes held an innocence that almost pulled her into daze for a second. But soon she recovered from it as pinching her cheeks she asked, "You have been looking for me? Why?"
WeiWei paused for a moment. Her eyes suddenly looked dewy and looking at her like that, Li Xue was about to ask if she was going to cry when suddenly, pulling a smile, WeiWei spoke, "WeiWei has been looking for you because we have not met for a good number of days. Mama, have you not missed WeiWei?"
Li Xue was confused for a moment. Jutting her brows together she asked, "Have we met before?" She had forgotten her memories but there was an inkling that she had known her from before. And seeing the girl recognize her already, only confirmed her thoughts.
But wait! Did she just hear her call her Mama?
Yes, in her every sentence, she had called her Mama and she didn't even notice it as if hearing her saying mama was all normal to her ears. Her brows tugged in a frown and she was about to speak to ask when suddenly her eyes went close instinctively at the camera flashes.
Her instinct didn't work to protect herself, rather her first move was to shield the little one from the people's eyes, before scooping her up in her arms.
All this while she failed to care that she was roaming around without a mask on her face. It was quite normal that the paparazzi around her had come with their cameras.
"Ms, Li Xue, who is this little girl? Do you know her?"
"We have heard her calling you mama. Is she your daughter?"
"What is your relationship with her?"
"If she is your daughter, who is her father?"
"Did you marry some old CEO? Do you know this could create a new scandal?"
"Ms. Li Xue, say something. Who is this girl? Who is her father?"
One after the questions were thrown forward and before Li Xue could get any time to clarify things, a cold voice traveled making everyone stiffen in their positions.
"She is my daughter", came the voice.
Li Xue's eyes looked up and caught the sight of the man. His face at once made her heart skip a beat. Not just because he looked handsome but because there was something else in her heart that she failed to comprehend for a moment. This man was …
Before she could remember it from her memory, she heard someone say.
"President Feng is here. He said she is his daughter. Does that mean she is the little young princess of the Feng family?"
Li Xue was taken aback. President Feng. Do they mean Feng Shufen?
