After wrapping the things upstairs, soon Feng Shufen descended downstairs with WeiWei up in his arms. His eyes, already finding his woman in the kitchen, working all casually. Seeing her working there like that, anyone would say that kitchen has been her domain of expertise, and not any person could beat her in her field of talent.
Now, seeing her there, he felt like she made the right decision by not leaving her interest in the career of the chef behind. If left, then along with regret, there would have come wastage of her talent. Knowing her all well, he was sure the wastage of talent would have been something she would have regretted the most, instead of enjoying her success in the fashion industry.
Suddenly he felt light pats on his shoulders that urged his attention.
"Daddy Angel put me down now. I would walk my way to Mama myself" Little Li Wei said, the moment her eyes found her Mama drizzling the chocolate syrup over her pancakes. At once, she knew that was her plate, after all, she knew, her mother knows her extra liking to the sweet chocolates.
Giving in to the request, Feng Shufen put her back on her feet and the girl instantly sprinted her way to her mother in the kitchen.
"Mama, see, I am all ready for my school. Sister – Granny Margaret helped me in braiding my hair and tying my shoelaces, except that I did everything myself" Little Li Wei chimed, wrapping her arms around mother's legs, till the height she was capable of reaching. Her hair stained to look at her mother up.
Li Xue smiled looking at her like that. Quickly wiping off her hands, she gestured to Sister Margaret to help her clean the counters first, while she went down on her knees to get to her daughter's height, unwrapping her arms from around her.
Her slender fingers slightly combed the hair of her girl to put them back behind her ears in a proper way and then went to work on her bangs in front. While sprinting all the way to her, she has already messed her wavy strands with each other. But still looked cuter and prettier than any other.
"Mhm – Hmm! I see my princess is growing sensible and independent now. I am proud of you" Li Xue said, encouraging her daughter up in her small achievement. She has been like that always. Encouraging her daughter even in the littlest achievement because she knew that even a few words could make greater change.
Herself remaining devoid of the encouragements in her life, she very well understands the meaning behind those small praises. It might not seem of any greater value to the elders but according to the kid's psychology, it could do wonders to the children. Few simple words of yours could motivate them to go more ahead in life.
Little Li Wei at once nodded her head profusely. "Yes, Mama! Indeed, I am growing big now. So …" She started but then paused her words meaningfully in the middle. Li Xue raised her brows, knowing all well that her little devilic – princess has got some devilishness in her head for which she was just keeping her foundation base to support her next coming demands.
"So?" She asked back, looking all curiously at her little one.
The little girl's eyes went to stare at the kitchen counter where her plate of favourite chocolate pancakes was kept, tempting her to the fullest. Her small tongue came out to lick her lips, suppressing the hunger she was feeling in her stomach with the delicious food in front of her eyes.
Li Xue's gaze also followed her daughter's eyes. Looking at her like that, she could not help but laugh at her extreme cuteness. This girl was really too sweet and cute for her own good. Just a look at her adorable face and even the Devil will get compelled to become an angel, just for her.
"WeiWei, what happened? Do you want something?" she asked, purposefully teasing her to bring out more of her plans.
The girl looked back at her mother and then said with a nod of acceptance. "Yes, Mama! I want something"
"And what is it?"
"Mama, since WeiWei has grown bigger now, don't you think she could get a little more of her favourite hazelnut chocolate syrup over her pancakes? I remember, Mama said once that, as we grow, our diet also increases. Like Baby, WeiWei ate the smallest portion when she was a month old and as she grew more, her diet also increased".
Li Xue could only press her lips together for her reasons. Could she even say anything to her now? Her reasons were right and she did agree with her words when she said that she has grown. Was all this while, her little devil was also planning to trap her? Such a Daddy's princess she was! Truly the miniature image of the Devil himself.
"Growing sensible and independent does mean growing big, sweetie. But there is a difference in growing age-wise and sense – wise, baby. Though you have grown bigger, you are still 5 years old, WeiWei. So, the chocolate you are having now is enough for your age category" Li Xue explained, trying her best to keep it simple for her devilic – angel's understanding.
The little girl pouted at her mother. Her eyes went to stare at her pancakes, blinking all pitifully at them as if feeling bad for them instead of herself. But then for a short moment, her eyes shone, she turned back to her mother. Then counting something on her fingers, she said, "Mama, WeiWei is no longer a 5 years old girl. She is now 5 years and 8 months old. She has grown big, Mama. Now, she can have a little more chocolate syrup".
Li Xue could only facepalm herself at her daughter's brain. That's a problem when your kid has got a high IQ at such a small age. You would need to remain all prepared for her reasons every time.
