The mouthwatering aroma of flavours wafted in the air, as the figure of two a.d.u.l.ts along with a small little bunny figure was enjoying their time in the kitchen.
"Daddy Angel please add more choco ch.i.p.s in that serve. I feel the other two is having more and WeiWei would never want to differentiate between Daddy Angel and Mama". The little girl's chirping voice sounded like a blessing in the air of silence.
At her request, Feng Shufen nodded as he took some more choco ch.i.p.s in his hand to add to the third cup of mousse cake. While Li Xue could only shake her head at her daughter's words before saying, "Why WeiWei? If you don't want to differentiate between Mama and Daddy Angel, then let us have the cup with a good amount of choco ch.i.p.s while you can have the lesser amount one."
Little Li Wei instantly paused at her Mama's words. Then thinking for some time, she said, "Mama, we cannot do that. It will make me lose the debate competition later in the week. And I would never want to lose it because there will be so many people coming to see me on the stage".
Li Xue's brows wrinkled a little in confusion at her daughter's words as she exchanged some looks with the man standing beside her. But Feng Shufen simply shrugged off his shoulders in response. He has always enjoyed the tricky words and reasons for his little piece. There is no way in which he will ruin his enjoyment by detailing the reasons to the woman.
"How will sharing your mousse cake with extra choco ch.i.p.s make you lose the competition, sweetie. Please explain. I would love to hear", Li Xue said, bowing all dramatically in front of her princess.
Looking at her mother like that the little girl giggled as she said suppressing her laughter behind her little palms. "Hehe … Mama, you are so cute. Same as me! If WeiWei doesn't get the extra choc chip mousse cake today, she will dream of it for the whole week and will not be able to give her best in the debate competition. That will ultimately make me lose. Since Mama and Daddy Angel would not want that, it will only be good if WeiWei doesn't share her serve of cake with anyone."
The mother instantly squinted her eyes at her daughter first then went to trail the man who was professionally plating the serves on the three plates with perfect quantity. "I see, along with reading to you the business stories during bedtime someone is also making efforts in making you narcissistic."
Feng Shufen's lips curled on seeing the woman throw sarcasm at him but he did not reply back at her. It felt like he had accepted all her accusations as some rewards of honour.
"Mama, what is narcissistic? I have never heard of it", the little girl asked all innocently, blinking her eyes at her mother while trying her best to recount her lessons from the back of her head. Maybe somewhere she was missing the meaning behind after all she was daily giving some of her time to her vocabulary and there were many words she was learning regularly.
Li Xue narrowed her eyes again at her daughter before taunting her teasingly, "Why? Haven't your Daddy Angel taught you this?"
The little girl pressed her lips together for a moment before pulling her hands up to ask her mother to come near her. The mother looked at her little devil for a moment before walking her way up to her. "What? Is there something".
The girl did not reply anything instead further gestured her mother to come near her and then dip down to her height. Once she was sure that her Mama was up to her reach and height. She quickly brought her arms to wrap around her neck before pulling her closer to peck her cheeks.
"Mama, don't be jealous of Daddy Angel. WeiWei still loves Mama the most. Taking help from Daddy Angel has my secret", Little Li Wei said in a whisper near her mother's ears, stressing her eyes with some suspense to her mother.
Li Xue could only suppress her laughter at these little tricks of her daughter. With her being so persuasive around her, she could only enjoy her cajoling. Getting pampered by her own daughter's sweet words and gestures was too special to brush aside. So, playing along, she matched the same gesture and whisper of her daughter as she asked, "What secret is there? Come on, let Mama know".
Giving a small blinking nod of agreement to her mother, the little body turned slightly to the side to peek at her Daddy Angel behind her Mama. Seeing him busy with some things on the kitchen counter, Little Li Wei smiled lightly before speaking to her mother in a hushed tone.
"Of course, Mama, my secret is to help you", she said, taking a pause to cup her Mama's cheeks in her little hands and then continued, "WeiWei does not feel good when Mama works too hard and doesn't take proper rest. So, to relieve Mama from some burden, your devilic – angel went to seek some help from her Daddy Angel. That way now Mama can rest more after returning from the dessert shop". The little girl completed blinking her eyes in understanding to her mother.
At her words, Li Xue felt some tears coming to the edge of her eyes, of course, she could feel the warm care and concern her daughter had for her in her heart. Though at this moment it was out of some play, she still knows her daughter the best to realize that her words were not a lie.
Blinking away the simple tears off her eyes, she masked her overwhelming emotion with an amused smile as she asked, "So are you saying that you sacrificed your love for your Daddy Angel because you love your Mama more".
The girl instantly shook her head. "No, no, Mama. I still remember the lesson you taught me before. To see one happy, it's not necessary to sacrifice the other, rather what's necessary is to see how to make the efforts to make everyone happy around. WeiWei would never forget her Mama's teachings. She still remembers it all"
Li Xue nodded appreciatingly at her daughter's obedience. There was no doubt in her words. "Then, what efforts did my princess make to make everyone happy?"
"WeiWei went to take lessons from Daddy Angel. That helped Mama more time to rest while also giving WeiWei and Daddy Angel more time to spend together. You know Mama, spending time with Daddy Angel is so fun", the little girl reasoned all innocently and her reasons were not wrong. Coming back to the city and with Feng Shufen around, she was really resting with ease knowing there was him to take care of things she was concerned about.
Thinking all this her eyes trailed to look at the man who was skillfully flipping some stir fry vegetables in the pan. Looking at his charms that way, she almost lost in the trance only to get snapped at his words.
"Being narcissistic means giving yourself self – importance, WeiWei. And it's not a bad thing. One should always praise themselves for the goods they have" Feng Shufen answered his little piece's query when found the woman all busy ogling at him. Then turning to Li Xue he asked, "And for you, I wanted to know when are you leaving the Sweet Delicacy? Since your comeback is coming near, you should let Director Huo know about your renunciation first".
"What renunciation? Who said I am willing to leave Sweet Delicacy?" Li Xue said back the moment she heard the man complete his words.
