Li Xue's back stiffened for a moment as she turned to look at Qi Shuai, who was now standing with closed eyes, eating the apple halfway. As if his closed eyes had the potential to turn the happening in one-eighty degree angle. Just his expression of forcefully avoiding the things was the confirmation that Li Xue needed at the moment to prove her thoughts right.
Now she understands what all that weirdness she was feeling from the man was about. DNA reports? Her gaze held some astonishment as right at the moment she heard another pair of descending steps downstairs. Her eyes dated to look at the man, matching his pair of greys, ignoring all the others around.
"Jie!" Feng Shufen greeted Feng Yi Ran as he came to stand beside Li Xue, reaching out to take Li Xue's hands into his, while turning slightly to get a glance at his friend.
Seeing his friend turning to him, Qi Shuai just shook his head, curling his expressions down. His internal self screaming – Brother, we are dead! It's all finished. We can't do anything now. Your relationship would be having no hope soon. Just suffocatingly wait for it!
Just the look of him was enough to make Feng Shufen understand what had happened prior to his arrival. But even after knowing he stood calm and composed as if he was all ready to take the things and reveal them to Li Xue. His eyes reverted back to look at her beside him, and feeling his eyes on herself, soon Li Xue also turned to match his gaze.
Feng Yi Ran looked at his brother's warm look and gesture towards the woman and was surprised. But her lips curled up witnessing their conjoined hands. Laughing out lightly, she said, "Ah, there I got the answer now. The warmth this house has is from the air of love and concern people hold in their heart".
Feng Shufen's expression remained the same, not showing any kind of refusal to those words, while Li Xue just turned to smile a little. Her curl of her lips coming a little forced and awkward. She was yet not sure how to react to the things that have come all of the sudden to her. Now she understood what was so important that the man was adamant to tell her since last night.
While she was busy contemplating her introduction next, at the side, Feng Yi Lan was all indifferent to what was going on around. Her focus never came to look at her brother that has arrived rather remained pondering over the statement that her elder sister has stated before.
"JieJie, what DNA reports are you talking about? I really have no idea of it. I just know …" Unable to understand well, Feng Yi Lan didn't hold her confusion for long. Instead, she chose to be clear. Starting her words, she was ready to reveal all her knowledge when felt Li Xue's hands touching hers to pause her in her words.
She turned sideways to look at her, only to find her shaking her head in denial. She didn't understand much but allowed Li Xue to take the lead.
Seeing Yi Lan agreeing to her, Li Xue looked at Feng Yi Ran. Bowing politely before, she started, "Yi Ran JieJie, sorry to keep you in the dark like this. But please don't blame Yi Lan. She has done nothing wrong. She, herself, didn't know about anything. I have kept it a secret from everyone. Even Mr. Beelze … I mean Shufen came to know about it when I recently revealed it to him. Otherwise, no one would have ever known. Please, don't be angry."
She said and her words almost put everyone there in dumbfoundedness. Qi Shuai's eyes popped out as he no longer felt that he was capable of understanding things. He looked at Li Xue and blinked before turning to Shufen to ask with his expressions. 'Why didn't you tell me before? If Xiao Xue already knew all this then why was I panicking here?'
But seeing Feng Shufen's equally blank expression, Qi Shuai was puzzled. Looking at him like that, it didn't feel like he, himself, had any idea of it. If that was how things were, then what exactly was happening? What was Xiao Xue up to?
His eyes went to stare more at Li Xue as he waited for more revelation. While on the side Feng Yi Lan tugged on Li Xue's hands to ask, "What are you saying, Li Xue? What do I not know?" Her eyes, darting at everyone one by one.
Li Xue looked at her and smiled. But she didn't answer, instead, she turned to look at the little one down, before bending on her knees to say, "WeiWei, this is your Elder Aunt. Come on, greet her fast!"
Feng Yi Lan didn't understand more. She looked at Qi Shuai but seeing him avowing her gaze she could only hold her patience that was really too tough.
Hearing her Mama say that, Little Li Wei nodded to her with a smile, before turning to look at Feng Yi Ran to say, "Hello, Pretty Elder Aunt. I am WeiWei, daughter of my Mama and princess of my Daddy Angel. Nice to meet you."
She introduced and at her introduction, Feng Yi Ran almost forgot everything else. She smiled, nodding equally. "Nice to meet you as well. Finally, you have accepted to call me your Aunt."
Little WeiWei nodded. "Mhm. Mama said that you are my Aunt then I can call you Aunt. Now, WeiWei has two pretty Aunts in her family" She said and everyone smiled for a bit.
But then Li Xue turned her daughter again to her before asking, "WeiWei, I see your friends waiting outside. I think you have forgotten to say goodbye to them. Come on go first and say goodbyes to them, otherwise, they would just stand there waiting for you. And that will be wrong."
Little Li Wei nodded, tilting a little to look out the window to see the animals standing. "I am sorry Mama, I forgot. I will go and send them off first" She said, before sprinting off to do her job.
Once she was gone, Li Xue got up as she looked at Yi Ran and continued, "I hope Yi Ran JieJie is not upset with me. I had my reasons before".
Feng Yi Ran looked at her before looking at her brother. A peal of small chuckle left her lips as she shook her head to say, "I like the sound 'Yi Ran JieJie' in your voice. How can I be upset with you? More like I like you. Definitely, it hurts me to know the truth with others as I have preferred it coming to me first, but knowing and understanding a woman, I know you must have reasons. Furthermore, you have given me such a beautiful niece, I could only be happy for it".
She said and Li Xue just smiled with her best. But at this moment, at the side, Feng Yi Lan lost all her patience. Curiosity killed her as pulling on Li Xue, she asked, "Dear, will you tell me now what's going on here? Why among you all I feel like I've become an alien, who can't understand the language you all are conversing in?"
Li Xue hesitated. She was not sure how her friend would be taking it. Given Yi Lan's personality, she just couldn't be too sure of the things. Still, seeing that she had no other choice, she said, "Yi Lan, WeiWei is our daughter. I mean the daughter of mine and your brother".
