Soon Li Xue's car returned back to the Little Carnations. On her way, she had informed Shufen that she was already returning home in her car and he does not need to send Du Fan anymore. Though her mood was all calm and easy on the surface, her insides were screaming in desperate curiosity for answers.
"Ma'am, we are already at your place", the driver announced as he pulled the car at its usual place in Little Carnations.
Looking out from the window, Li Xue nodded her head to his words and then showed her manner of gratitude through her words, "Thank you for driving me back. I will inform you the time I will be leaving tomorrow. For now, you can go and rest too". She said and then stepped out from the car.
Her steps subconsciously led her back to the house she was used to going every evening after returning from work, but it got paused when saw all the curtains were pulled around the windows. "Ohh! How can I forget that I have shifted my things to Mr Beelzebub��s place? I am no longer living here rather in the neighbouring house". She chided herself lightly in annoyance as she turned to walk towards the other nearest house.
"Mama!" a soft cheerful voice kissed her ears as she set her foot inside the place and in the next second the little girl came up sprinting forwards to become her mother's beautiful leg accessory.
And just like that, all the internal screams of Li Xue were soothed. Soothed to an extent where she no more remembered their existence itself.
Her lips curled up in a smile as she looked down at her little princess who was showering her with her best welcoming smile. Bending a little down she took her into her embrace as she asked all lovingly while walking to the living space of the house, "My princess looks happy. Did something special happen around?"
Her eyes went to greet gratefully to the old Sister Margaret, who was standing at the side. The old woman also smiled as she bowed down her head a little to show her respect for Li Xue. Her gesture of politeness was all the same as she was trained to be around Feng Shufen. Nothing different!
Little WeiWei's grin deepened more as she nodded her head to reply to her mother, accompanied by a sweet sound of affirmation. "Mhm – hmm! I am happy that my Mama is back home early today. Now she could cuddle with me on the bed to take a good and relaxing afternoon sleep".
The little girl said, wrapping her small arms around Li Xue's neck.
"Aww … so much care for Mama! What did I do to get such a good, caring daughter for myself?" Li Xue said as she downed herself on the sofa with her little angel on her l.a.p.
"Ummm …" The little girl pondered her mother's words for a moment, tapping her little fingers on her chin. Li Xue looked at her daughter's thinking expression and waited for her to finish her contemplation. It was quite amusing to look at her like this. She looked so cute and adorable using her little innocent brain to bring up the best reasons out of her own book of thesis.
Suddenly a soft spark of shine went through her little eyes, letting the mother know that she has got her reason prepared to deliver.
"Mama, to get a sweet daughter like me, you must have trained lots and lots in baking desserts. Because desserts are the sweetest things in this world. Haha …" The little girl said, laughing all cheerfully.
Li Xue did not make any comments. She just looked at her daughter and let her enjoy her laughter. She felt like it has been a long time since she has got to see her laughing like this.
Now looking back, she realized that her days had been so busy that she wasn't able to accompany her princess well around. Didn't get any time to hear her sweet talks.
She felt guilty. Being her mother it was also one of her responsibilities to accompany her sweetie, no matter how busy she gets into her professional life.
When Li Wei did not find her mother laughing at her sweetness, she tilted her head to a side with some confusion, while her warm, grey eyes remained on her mother's face. Her Mama has always loved to laugh at her sweet honeyed words with equal cheerfulness.
Not understanding the reason behind the sudden change in her mother's persona, the little girl clasped her face between her small palms and said, "Mama, I have got only one mother. If not you, then who should I care? Being your daughter, I should care for you. And didn't you say that we should always care for ones we love? Then I love my Mama the most, so I must take care of her".
Li Xue looked at her daughter as slight drops of tears came to the edges of her eyes. Growing a little worried at her Mama's tears, the girl asked with some fear, "Mama, did I say something wrong?"
The mother instantly shook her head as she denied, "Can my devilic – angel ever be wrong? Definitely not! She is the wittiest sweet talker in her Mama's heart." She said and then bent slightly down to kiss her daughter's forehead.
"Mama is sweet so her baby is also sweet", the little girl said as she also brought her Mama's face down to kiss her cheeks.
Li Xue could only smile at her sweet little gestures. Her daughter knows well how to show her love for people around her. Knows well to reciprocate as well garner their lover too! Something that's rarely learnt by people in this world. At the side, Sister Margaret's lips also left a smile as she looked at the sweet pair of mother and daughter.
"Did you complete your lunch? Or did you trouble Sister Margaret?" Li Xue asked, giving a smile towards the old lady.
"No, no, our little miss was all fine and good to us. She didn't trouble us even a bit, Madame. This must be out of my line of discipline but I must say, you have taught your daughter well! She is really adorable as well as sensible at such a young age".
Sister Margaret has really admired how well the young woman has brought up her daughter. That was really something commendable.
When in the world, parents fail to give time to their children to maintain their work, Li Xue has taken the responsibility of both her work and daughter so beautifully that none lacked her time and attention.
Li Xue smiled as she looked at her daughter. It felt good when people around complimented her because of her daughter. "Thank you, Sister Margaret!" she said, accepting the appreciation.
"I will go and change first. Then I will accompany you to afternoon sleep, okay?" Li Xue added, turning back to her daughter.
WeiWei smiled and then nodded, "Okay, Mama!"
The mother put her princess down on the floor and then moved to take her steps upstairs, but suddenly halted when heard Sister Margaret inform from behind, "Madame, we have moved your clothes and other necessary things to the master bedroom on Young Master's order".
