After a long, tiresome day, finally Li Xue returned back home. She was so tired at the moment that even her legs felt wobbly and almost numb. Being like this she could ask for nothing but a fluffy bed to sleep with her little, soft princess in her arms. And luckily it was almost time for dinner, which only meant sleep hours were very near for her.
She entered the house and she would not lie but be honest to say. The natural forest environment of the place was healing to her tired nerves. Though not fully but to some extent, just by coming back, she was feeling relaxed.
Taking the breath of fresh air fragrance, she was about to walk and get slumped on the living hall's seating area, when suddenly felt a pair of little arms wrapping around her legs. Her lips curled up in a smile, knowing well who it could be.
"Mama is back. WeiWei missed Mama the most!" The little girl chimed while a maid quickly brought something for Li Xue to drink.
Li Xue gestured to the maid to keep the drink on the table while she looked down at her princess. "My princess missed me so much. How should I believe?" She asked teasingly and the little girl at once pushed her head back to look at her mother, keeping her arms still wrapped around her legs.
"Mama can look deep into WeiWei's eyes and see the truth. Belief comes with the truth after all."
Little WeiWei said with utmost sincerity as she smiled looking at her mother. And with just that smile on her face, Li Xue could not help but forget all her tiredness.
Bending down to scoop her little, up in her arms, she tickled lightly before saying, "Seems like my devilic – angel is getting upgraded with the skills of sweet-talking. She is getting better and better with her word tricks."
"Hehe … Mama says we should always keep learning to sharpen our skills. WeiWei is just being obedient to Mama." The little girl said giggling in her mother's arms while Li Xue took her to the sofa, before sitting down and taking her onto her l.a.p.
Little Li Wei looked at her mother. Just a glance of her was enough to let her know that her Mama was too tired for the day. Getting off the l.a.p, she quickly turned to grab the glass of drink the maid had earlier brought, to give to her mother. "Mama, you look very tired. Please drink this glass of juice first. WeiWei can wait for her Mama till eternity".
Seeing her little princess like that, Li Xue could help but smile. Not rejecting the glass her little was offering to her, she took it to drink but that was not before bending forward to peck her daughter's cheeks first. "My sweetie's kiss is better than this". She said, taking a sip from the glass next.
"WeiWei's cheeks are all for Mama. She can take more of the kisses and WeiWei will not complain" The little girl said with utmost seriousness. Like she could do everything in her control to make her Mama get all happy and comfortable.
With such sincerity, the mother could only smile and feel content while giving a hum in response. Taking a few more sips from the glass, Li Xue looked around the house. Her eyes looked a little upstairs before asking her daughter, who was now obediently sitting beside her.
"WeiWei, has your Daddy Angel yet not come back home?"
Li Wei shook her head. "Nope, Mama. Daddy Angel has come home an hour before, but he has got a lot of work to do. So, he is in the study and WeiWei is not disturbing him".
Not just obedient, the little girl was too sensible for her age. She has got both brains to understand the a.d.u.l.t's work and also heart to understand their priorities at times. So, when saw her Daddy Angel working at his work, she left him alone to complete his work without any disturbance, while came to soothe her mother's tiredness.
"Ohh, he is busy in the study?" Li Xue asked, staring up at the staircase, in the direction of the study room with some thought. Though she doesn't know much about business topics, she was sure with Director Qi in the hospital, there must be work taking the extra time of Feng Shufen.
Right at that moment, Wu Jiaqi appeared, coming out from the kitchen. She had heard the woman asking about Feng Shufen, so the moment she appeared, bowing her head a little down she said, "Madam, Young Master is working. If it's not something urgent, please do not disturb him in his work. After all, the company is all dependent on him, and if anything goes wrong, everyone would have to take the consequences".
The meaning behind her words was clear and it was also very much evident to Li Xue. She just could not believe, after being such a sensible recruit of the Feng family, how could the head maid be so stupid to not look at her place? Though she understands that she doesn't take her to be the house mistress, at least she has not gotten the brain to see how her Young master was admiring her. Offending her, did she really think she would be able to escape?
Li Xue shook her head internally as she sympathetically looked at the Head Maid and said in a nonchalant tone. "Don't worry, I am not going to disturb your Young Master in his work, Ms. Wu. And even though I disturb him, I still trust in his abilities. With him around, I am sure the company will never go wrong. His employees and staff just need to keep their belief in him".
She said and Wu Jiaqi's expression at once changed. She never thought that the woman would be so cunning to twist her words in a way where it would sound like an offense to the Young Master. Clenching her fingers tight to suppress her annoyance, she immediately downed her head to explain, "Madam, you got it wrong. That's not how I meant. I was just …"
"Anyway, Ms. Wu, you shouldn't explain that to me. Later explain it to your Young Master. For now, just tell me, till when will the dinner get ready?" Li Xue didn't let her complete, instead, she switched the topic. She was really tired to hear any blabbers at the moment.
Wu Jiaqi's expression only turned ugly, but since her head was kept down, it didn't come to Li Xue's vision. She could just see her clenched fists and jaws but expressions weren't the things that could trigger her. So she just let it slide off to cut off some unnecessary ruckus.
"Madam, the dinner will take an hour." Wu Jiaqi said and to her words, WeiWei from the side at once said, like she has heard some lie.
"But I just had my dinner. Why does Mama's dinner have an hour then?"
Li Xue looked down at her girl and shook her head. Speaking in between the talks of the a.d.u.l.ts was something she has never supported her daughter for.
WeiWei at once pressed her lips obediently, while her eyes stared down. She just was curious why this complaining Aunt was so rude to her Mama.
"Young Li'l Miss, that was a small portion of dinner specially cooked for you earlier, since you have your meal early. As for Young Master and Madam, the chefs are still preparing it in the kitchen. If Madam doesn't believe, she could go and check herself". The Head Maid said, keeping her eyes on the floor.
Looking at the maid, Li Xue could understand her motive. But she didn't say much. "It's okay, Ms. Wu. Ask the chefs to take their time. Since Shufen is still working, I will take a rest with WeiWei in the garden. When dinner is ready, let me know". She said, seeing Wu Jiaqi nod and walk off.
Then looking at her daughter, she smiled. Her princess still had her head down in guilt. "Did you do something wrong, sweetie?"
"I am sorry, Mama. WeiWei will not repeat it again". The little girl said and the mother's hands just went to c.a.r.e.s.s her hair.
"It's okay, sweetie. That wasn't intentional and Mama knows that. But you should remember to be careful next time. As for now, since your Daddy Angel is working, we can enjoy our time in the garden. What do you say?" Li Xue asked and the little head immediately nodded her head, agreeing to the idea.
