Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

"Sister Granny Margaret, WeiWei is sorry. She didn't want to give you or others any hard time. From next time, she won't do the same and will be more thoughtful of her actions." Bowing her head with an apology, the little girl stood getting down from her mother's lap instantly.

Sister Margaret paused for a moment. Her heart melted at her voice filled with sincerity as for a moment, she even forgot to say anything. But when regained her composure back, she shook her head immediately, "No, no, young little miss. You shouldn't apologize to us. You didn't give us any hard time and you have already been very thoughtful."

She said but from the side, Li Xue interrupted, "Let her apologize, Sister Margaret. Only that way she would be a better person tomorrow." She said and the old lady felt herself at a tough spot.

Although she was aged, she couldn't forget her position in the house. Furthermore, the lady was already treating her too well, now seeing the little young miss like this was making her feel like she was doing some sin for which she would never be able to redeem.

Li Xue looked at the old lady and somewhat understood her thoughts. Not wanting to give her some guilt at such a late age, she added with a smile to ease her heavy heart off, "Sister Margaret, don't think too much into this. You aren't committing any crime rather just helping our little one become a better person. We would owe you one tomorrow."

Sister Margaret thought for a while. Although what Li Xue said did make some sense, she still felt like the human who was forced to take all the credit that she never wanted to have. But since it was already done, she could only accept it bowing in respect.

Looking at the girl, she smiled kindly to say, "Little young miss, I will be then looking at you in the future. I am sure you would do what you promised today."

She said and at her words like that, the little girl instantly raised her head to nod. "Yes, I will. WeiWei never goes back on her word." She said, and smiling politely at her, soon Sister Margaret left, leaving the mother-daughter duo alone in the room.

Once gone, Little Li Wei turned to look at her mother before blinking her eyes at her. "Mama, did I do it right?"

Li Xue smiled before pulling her close to hug with pride. "Of course, sweetie. You did it so right. I am proud of you. You know not everyone has the strength to accept their faults and apologize for them. But seeing you so brave today, I am so proud of you. Always be like this, okay?"

Pulling back, WeiWei nodded with a hum and Li Xue simply smiled at her. It has just been some moments with her princess and she was already feeling back to her energized self. But although she has settled one with her princess, she didn't forget there was one other as well.

Li Xue tilted her head to the side and saw two glasses of refreshments kept on the tray. Her brows quirked up as moving back to look at her daughter, she smiled before getting up to put her back on her chair. Then turning, she got one glass for her before handing it to her daughter to say, "Here, this is for you. Your Sister Granny Margaret has prepared this chocolate shake for you. Come on, have it."

She said and the little girl looked at the glass skeptically before leaning on the side to look at the other glass kept on the table.

"Ah, that's the tea for me. I will have it here while accompanying you. So, be quick to hold yours so that I can get mine." Li Xue said and Little WeiWei took her glass in her hand while saw her mother turn to take hers.

Once Li Xue took her glass, she sat back on the sofa chair and slowly sipped down her drink while looking pleasingly at her daughter.

"Mama, do you want to have some chocolate shake." Little WeiWei asked when saw her mother continuously looking her way. Although her chocolate shake was more than half completed, she still has some in her glass which she can share with her mother if she wants.

But Li Xue shook her head in denial, while a soft smile played on her lips. And her denial like that confused the little body on the chair. Pausing her sips on the chocolate shake, she asked, "Then why are you staring at me? Did my chocolate shake draw me a mustache, Mama?"

Li Xue chuckled as she saw her baby reaching out to wipe her upper lip where there was nothing such. "No, sweetie. There is no mustache. Mama is just waiting to hear what her baby had to say from today."

She said and the little girl just looked down at the floor. Her expression once again changed back to how it was when Li Xue has come to her room.

"Baby, don't you have something to say? I heard that you were upset when you returned from school. Did something happen?"

"…" The little girl remained silent. Keeping the glass aside on the table, she just kept staring at her hands on her lap. And her silence like that only made Li Xue speculate more about the things.

"Did your rehearsals for the cultural fest didn't go well today? Missed a step or two? Or did someone say something to you?" She speculated but at none of her speculation did the little nod in approval.

Something else had happened about which Li Xue couldn't think.

So, keeping her cup of tea aside, she reached out to hold her little's hand and then looking up into her eyes, she asked, "My sweetie, won't you tell Mama, what happened to make you upset like this? I thought we would never keep secrets on serious matters. Are you keeping one from me now?"

Little Li Wei blinked her eyes at her mother as a drop of tear rolled down her cheeks. There would have come more after one, but before it could, the little one controlled it will all her strength. "Mama, Senior Brother would be leaving after our cultural fest. He would be returning back to his country."
