After getting her daughter all ready for the school, Li Xue took her towards the exit but suddenly got halted hearing her question. "Mama, Daddy Angel said that he will accompany us today. Are we going to call him?" As Li Wei asked this question her head raised up to look at her mother, waiting to get her answer. To say Li Xue was still mad from last night will not be wrong but she was more befuddled than angry. She was confused about the feelings she was going through inside. Last day has changed many things inside her. Not only heart restraints have weakened but also she has become weak in front of her heart feelings. She was touched by his words and efforts but was also upset with his ignorance. She wanted to confront him to ask the reason behind his such nonchalant behaviour but then she stops herself thinking that her questions might make the complexities go worse. Shaking her head in disapproval, she looked at her daughter and said, "No dear, it's okay. I am sure your Daddy Angel will already be waiting outside for us. Believe me!" Little Li Wei looked at her mother and nodded her head, "Same as he was doing the last day, Mama?" Li Xue nodded as the charming face of Mr Beelzebub from the past flashed in front of her eyes, making her senses remember every feature of him, for which the other women crave to have in their men. "Okay, Mama! Let's go then. We should not make Daddy Angel wait for too long. It's not good to make people wait, you said last time when I made Brother Bojing wait for me", the little girl said, getting all ready to run a marathon to reach her Daddy Angel in an instant. "Yes, yes … I said that but I never said to be this excited," She said with a smile, as she twisted the knob to get the door open. And as they had expected the man was all ready, standing outside with his car. Seeing him already there, in no seconds the little energy ball sprinted towards him with her arm opened, asking to be embraced at once. Feng Shufen's thin pair of lips also curled a little upwards to give the smile of contentment as he bent down to scoop the girl up. "Happy Morning, Daddy Angel!" The man nodded to her too, saying his greetings all lightly and softly for only the girl to hear. "Yes Happy morning!" He has never been used to greeting people in the morning. It has been like this since he was ten but with this little piece, everything was different … "Daddy Angel, I am ready for my school and have also asked Mama. She has agreed that I can do my school homework with you after getting back home". The girl informed all cheerfully. She was happy and so she wanted everyone around to be happy as well.
The man nodded to her joy-filled voice, agreeing "Okay, from today I will get back early to help you with your studies!" As he completed his words, his eyes turned to look back at the woman who was still standing at a distance. An expression of 'keeping a distance' evident on her face. The same expression she was holding last night. Was she still mad at him? But for what? Did she again assume something on her own, without giving any hint to him? "If we are ready, then we should leave. It is already time", he asked in a calm voice. His inner questions are all perfectly hidden behind his calmness, not letting anyone around to guess. Li Xue looked at him for a moment and then shook her head. "Sorry, President Feng but I think I would need to ask your help today". The man raised his brows of askance at her, as his words followed, "Help?" The woman nodded as she made her request more clear. "Yes! Since your office is on the way to Li Wei school. It would be great if you could help me drop her there. I have some work to attend to at home so will not be able to make it today. And later I need to go back to the dessert shop too. I hope you would help me out this once". Her words were very polite, without any doubt. If it would have come from someone else, then he would have appreciated it. But these words coming from her was just making her more distant from him. Something that was not at all pleasing him. There was no doubt that she was pulling this stunt just to ignore him and keep him at a distance. He knew it too well but there was nothing he could do to stop her. All his fierceness and domination weakens when she is in the question. Nodding his head to her requests, he gave a piercing accusing gaze to her, like he was blaming her for ruining his mood again. Then taking the little girl inside the car with him, he said to the driver to take them to the school. The little girl would have asked her mother a question but thinking that her mother might be really busy, she did not go any further. Li Xue kept her eyes on the car until it disappeared from her view. An unknown thought rose in her heart thinking that the man might turn to look back at her once but he never did, making an unwanted disappointment rise in her heart. She put a smile on her face when she saw her daughter waving her hands at her from the back window of the car. 'Li Xue, you are just thinking too much' She consoled herself and then moved back inside 'Why are you regretting it now? Wasn't it you who asked him that silly help? You were all ready to accompany them along so why did you stay back saying that you have some work back at home? Now that you have stayed then bear the loneliness you have wanted all along' Hearing her inner thoughts, Li Xue sighed and slumped on the sofa, throwing her head back. 'What a great mess I am getting into now? Getting my thoughts puzzled to an extent where I, myself, not getting them properly. Sighhhh! Hope things get back well soon'.
