Feng Shufen looked at her confident smug face and was impressed by her skills of coaxing. Did she really think that he would believe her words? He knew her too well to know that she was not a person to depend on other's power and money. If she had been then he would not have to put so much effort into making her accept her.
But her words were not wrong. He was definitely the ace of her pack of cards but he was not a card who will lose its power on getting revealed to the opponent.
Nevertheless, since she wants it that way then he would always follow her demands. His lips tugged slightly at the sides as he said, "You better remember your words. I am the ace and you would always have me in your hands to win the game".
Li Xue merely smiled at his acceptance. He was too different for his kind of species. If it had been some other man instead of him, they would have definitely felt offended thinking the woman they cherish was simply calling them a winning pawn of their game. But he was so comfortable to hear the new definition of his existence in his life.
Nodding her head, she blinked her eyes once and said, "Of course! Who would forget the most beneficial card in their hand? At least not me. I am too stingy and almost remember everything that would keep me benefitted."
The man smiled looking at her nonchalant antics. But right at this moment, a little bunny's voice came from a little distance. "I am sorry, Mama"
Detaching herself at once from Feng Shufen, Li Xue turned to look at the source of the voice. There stood her little girl, rubbing her sleep away from her eyes and lips in the form of a pout.
Her sweet look was exactly what anyone would love to watch early in the morning. Even if it had been a stone, it would have been melted seeing the little one.
Li Xue looked at her and let out a soft chuckle. She knew well, for what her daughter was apologising. Folding her hands behind, the woman gave one nod to the man standing by her side and then made her way towards her morning angel.
"Aye! My devil is finally greeting the risen sunlight now" she said as she got on her knees to level her height with her princess. She would not want her daughter to strain her neck to look at her early in the morning.
WeiWei looked at her mother, her little lips getting curled in the way which was making her look like she was about to cry in the next moment but the mother knew her little was not a child to waste her tears uselessly.
"Mama, I am sorry. I wasn't able to reciprocate the Sun's warmth when it came to hug me early in the morning. I was in my deep sleep, Mama. Will the sun not come to hug me anymore?" the little girl said, rubbing her eyes a little more.
Li Xue pressed her lips together. Although her daughter was growing the way her Daddy Angel was teaching her, she was still holding her mother's words dear to her heart. So at the end of the day, without any say her mother's love was still at the best place in her heart. Not like she ever doubted that.
"Did the sun come to say that?" The mother asked, looking at her daughter while rubbing her chin.
WeiWei instantly shook her head, "No, Mama when I woke up the Sun was still there, staring at me from the woman. It did not say anything, neither it left me alone in my sleep. It just remained there quietly".
"Then the problem is already solved. Why are you still worrying about it? If anyone is upset with you, will they stay there to watch over you??" Li Xue asked, holding her princess, all dearly by her shoulders.
WeiWei shook her head showing her denial for the fact.
"Don't worry the Sun is understanding enough to understand that my baby would have reasons to sleep late today and will always try to not repeat her action of late rising again" Li Xue said, pecking her daughter's cheeks lightly in adoration.
Little WeiWei instantly wrapped her arms around her mother's neck as she hummed, "Yes, Mama. I would not stay up late at night from today on and always be an early riser to get all good luck of the day. I promise".
"Haha...I know sweetie. Your promises are always the best", the mother agreed, reassuring her daughter that she believed her.
"And Mama, the Sun should be understanding to me, after all, I have also been the same for him for the morning when he doesn't come to hug me and remains hidden in the clouds"
WeiWei defended her previous self with some better light but she was intelligent enough to not justify her wrong actions to be right. Her mother has definitely not taught her something like that.
Li Xue nodded at her words with a smile. This little devil of hers knew well how to coax her own self when in disappointment.
Right at this moment, WeiWei caught the sight of her Daddy Angel behind her Mama. Her lips instantly curled up to give a perfect arc as she called cheerfully, "Daddy Angel! Good morning! Rise and Shine!".
That was enough time she had with her mother, next was her joy with her Daddy Angel. Bribing her mother's cheek with a soft peck, she soon sprinted her way to Feng Shufen, only to jump up into his arms.
"Good morning, WeiWei!" Feng Shufen greeted back, taking her comfortably in his arms.
Li Xue could only shake her head at her daughter's action. She really needs to reconsider her previous drawn conclusion on her daughter. Whether she accepts or not, the little princess loves her Daddy Angel, no less than her mother.
"Daddy Angel, will there be another bedtime story today or will there be a further continuation of the one you started last night?" The little girl asked all cheerfully.
The man smiled at her and said, "We will see that later at night". To which WeiWei nodded in agreement.
Though there was nothing to feel jealous of, still Li Xue could not help herself. Gruffing internally, she said in all sober tone. "Okay then, you two enjoy your together time at home while I will go to meet Yi Lan and Su Fai out".
But little did she expect to hear the stern anxiousness for both the people at the front.
