"Here, finish this up," Feng Shufen said as he brought two glasses of milk forward. One was extended towards Li Xue while the other one towards his little piece.
Li Xue looked at the glass before taking her eyes to stare at the man. "This glass is for me?" She asked, eyeing the glass again and again. From the side, WeiWei nodded and said.
"Yes, yes, Mama, that's for you. Daddy Angel has brought two glasses, one for you and one for me". She said as she happily took her glass and gulped down all her milk in one go. But Li Xue stayed still. She could not believe her eyes. Her daughter has never been this enthusiastic about the milk, but she downed all of it in one go when she received it from her Daddy Angel.
She could only shake her head at her little's action. She was indeed a fan of her Daddy Angel, who would follow his every order and word.
"Are you not taking?" Feng Shufen asked when he saw the woman making no move to take the glass of milk from him. "Don't worry, this is low–calorie milk and is under your diet plan," He added, thinking the only reason that could hold the woman away from having it.
Li Xue could only be startled at his words. He was already sitting beside Li Wei, but still, with a glass in his hand, it looked more like she has made him stand in her service. Not overthinking, she took the sip and also downed it one go.
Once completed, she looked at her little one before asking, "Did you enjoy your assignment, WeiWei? At the end page of your slam book, you would need to write your experience, so better be honest and thoughtful of your words".
"Mmm – Hmm! Mama, I enjoyed it very much, and I would write the things carefully. But that will only be after I complete sticking out photographs on it tomorrow," The little girl replied, her lips pursing with some thought.
Li Xue's eyes didn't miss that small action of hers. "Will you need my help in sticking the pictures, WeiWei?" She asked.
But the little one at once shook her head. She was trying her best to come up independent. "No, Mama. I can do it tomorrow on my own after completing my homework. It will be easy, and I will be careful to keep it neat and tidy".
"If it is easy, then what is making you purse your lips like that, sweetie? Is there something?" Li Xe asked again, staring at her princess.
Little Li Wei has never worked to hide anything from her mother. So, she said, "Mama, you have not yet answered my question from before? Did Daddy Angel lied, saying that you will be gifting me a little brother and sister in the future?"
The mother went stiffened at her question once again. Seems like her daughter had not forgotten it. Her eyes darted unconsciously to look at the man on the side, who was leisurely sitting as if the things were not concerned to him in any bit. Wasn't he the one to weave everything? Then how come now, he has been all negligent to it?
Just when she thought that the man had left her all alone to take care of the things, she saw him shifting a little to turn towards the little one before scooping her onto his l.a.p. "WeiWei, what did you know about patience?" She heard him ask her, with all his time and consideration.
The little one stared at her Daddy Angel with her little eyes before saying, "Mama says, Patience is that moral virtue that makes the things come sweeter."
"Mmm, then won't the things bring more happiness if follow the code of patience in the things. If you rush the things, it will just …" Feng Shufen tried to explain, but before he could complete, the little one chimed according to his words.
"I understand it, Daddy Angel. I will remain patient and wait for my little brother and sister to come. He will definitely be cuter if her big sister waits patiently for him," She said with a really big smile that was displaying her excitement from within.
Feng Shufen just nodded to her words, sealing them to confirm. And Li Xue could only feel like she was getting out her wits. Was it that simple? How can that be? Didn't his affirmation only mean the same thing? Like in the end, it was she, the decider of gifting her baby a little sibling.
"WeiWei, sweetie, you need to sleep. Come on. You had enough of your talks today, now go and prepare for your sleep" In the end, Li Xue could only say that in a defeated tone because she has nothing else better to say.
The little one at one nodded with exuberance before pecking her Daddy Angel a goodnight kiss and then coming to her mother to do the same. Once completed her routine, she sprinted her way to her room.
"What was that, Mr. Beelzebub?" she asked smoothly, and the man just shrugged his shoulders before saying.
"I was just helping you buy some time."
Can there be even anything else to say? Definitely not! That was alone to make her go all speechless.
Waving her hand, she stood up and said, "Okay, I can't say thank you for trapping me in yet another trap. So, I will just ignore this."
"I was just letting her know the reality. Does the truth count as a trap?" Feng Shufen wittily asked, and Li Xue could only narrow her eyes at him.
"Do I look a Santa Claus, Mr. Beelzebub? You made me one in her eyes just now. And that too not a simple one, rather …" She started, but her words were cut off mid-way.
"You will be the only Santa Clause to bring her the sibling in the future, so I didn't lie. And that's what matters. To follow the code of honesty".
Code of honesty? Really? Li Xue could no longer reason.
