The little girl was already very excited about the evening. But seeing the people already arrived in the house, she felt guilty for missing their welcome. Tears would have welled up in her eyes if she had not remembered her mother's words at the right time.
It's never late. Apologize for the wrongs and then move on!
Keeping that in mind, her thin pair of lips curled up in a smile as she sprinted her way up to her mother and Daddy Angel calling out with slight cheerfulness. "Daddy Angel! Mama! Sorry I am a little late!"
At her words, all three people in the house except the couple went stiff and shocked. Qi Shuai felt the most disheartened there, thinking that the world was plotting conspiracies against him so that she could not get to watch the love story of his own friend. Chen Yujian and Ryan were also dead shocked at the scene.
What shocked them, even more, was gentleness, the man was holding his eyes looking at the little girl? Chen Yujian could not believe his eyes when he saw his own uncle bent forward a little to scoop the little girl up in his arms. Was he the same man who has always given him the cold shoulder when he was a child and was still all cold and aloof to his 11 years old little brother?
Ryan could not help but step her way up towards the couple. Reaching them, she asked all carefully. She couldn't let her thoughts become a reality, but the more she looked at the little girl, the more she felt that the girl was exactly the splitting image of the man. "Shufen, this is …?"
Before anyone else could reply to the question, the little introduced herself on her own unique style, "Hello everyone! I am Li Wei, my mother's daughter and Daddy Angel's little princess. It's nice to meet you. Welcome to our place!"
Daddy Angel's little princess! What was that? Li Xue was stumped at her little one's words. When did she change her introduction lines into something like this? Was it Mr Beelzebub again?
Her eyes turned to look at the man, who looked all unfazed at those words, confirming her suspicions. 'Such a cunning Devil he is!' she cursed internally as her eyes went to look at the cheerful smile on her daughter's face. She could see her eyes shining like stars. There was no doubt that she was very happy with her words.
Seeing her smiling like this, unknowingly, Li Xue's lips also curled up in contentment as she turned to give her more better introduction to others. "This is m..." But again before she could even get to complete her words, the man at the side casually announced.
Hearing his words of confirmation, Kim Ryan almost stumbled back on her foot. Her eyes lost its colour making her face look paler than it was before. Stammering her words of surprise out, she asked "Your … Your daughter? When did you …" Even after putting all her strength, she wasn't able to complete her words. How can she? All her dreams are getting snatched away one after the other … how can she have the strength to accept it?
Chen Yujian at the side was no less shocked? His own uncle has a daughter. How come he was still unknown to it? Though he knows that he was not in the country from the last few years but he was not to hold some distant relationship with the Feng family to not know something this important.
Fengs were his own blood related maternal family and this well – known cold and aloof President was none other than his own uncle. He was sure that he had not yet heard his uncle getting married and having a kid. And above that, he has only been away for only 3 or so years and that was not enough span for his uncle to make a 5 years old kid.
Does that mean, his all so proper and strict uncle always had a hidden girlfriend by his side? Whoa! Did he discover his uncle's one of the secrets? His eyes went wide at that thought. Knowing the devil's secret was not an easy job.
Li Xue no more knew what else she could say to make the situation a little more easy and understandable. She could feel the accusing and surprised gazes of the two people but was feeling all helpless as she has no words in defence.
Now she knows what it meant when people say that one lie was just needed and the web gets created on its own. And now she understands it in a better way as she has got herself trapped into it. Or for a better understanding, she could say that Mr Beelzebub has trapped her into it, using his charming schemes and cunning mind.
At this moment, Little Li Wei went to look at the most depressed-looking man in the room. Tilting her head to both of her sides with some thoughts, she looked at the man in a better way before asking, "Uncle Cutiee! What happened? Why are you looking so sad? Did you lose something here? Should I help you find it? It will be easy. Mama says, work becomes easy with more helping hands".
When Qi Shuai heard the little girl being so gentle with him, he felt like he had found back his home after getting lost and drenched in rain. Not caring anymore about his surroundings, he threw his head back calling out to complain of his utmost pain and disappointment.
"My little munchkin, only you care about me here. No one else does. Am I not the most pitiful one in this world" he cried out, taking everyone with a funny surprise. No one has expected that in the middle of such a serious situation, something like this crazy can also creep its way in.
When she heard her Uncle Cutiee crying like a baby, the little princess was all dumbfounded. Looking between her Mama and Daddy Angel, she raised her brows of confusion on the scenario. When she did not get any answers from her both elders, she asked her Daddy Angel to put her down on the floor.
There was no way Feng Shufen would ever ignore his little piece's request especially when he could already guess what she was up to. Giving a nod to her, he put the girl down back on the floor, letting her follow her heart.
