Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

Li Xue stared down at her phone. Although the call has been disconnected for a good time now, she was still trying to find out what this sudden disconnection actually meant. She couldn't dare to think it to be simple for she knew his silence was just another synonym for a typhoon that must already be brewing somewhere now.

After a while, Li Xue checked the time on the clock. It was already fifteen minutes since their conversation was disconnected from the other side. There was no longer time for her to guess things as up until now, things would have already been decided.

"Dear, it only takes seconds to turn the world upside down, your man has still got the whole fifteen minutes. What do you expect now?" Li Xue shook her head, sighing to herself. "It has been my fault to be reckless with my words at the first place. Now if he does something, do I even stand in a position to say something?"

She braced, knowing there was nothing now that she could do. Since it was already late at night, she could just take the opportunity to kill time by sleeping as the next day would definitely reveal the devil's plans to her.

Li Xue thought to herself before moving back to the kitchen to take the jug of water she has kept refilled there and went upstairs. Reaching her room, she walked to her bed when she remembered something.

Keeping the jug back on the nightstand, she sat on the bed but she knew sleep wouldn't be coming that easily to her tonight. Especially after what she had dreamt earlier. She turned to look to her side. Her daughter was sleeping all soundly in her dreams. Her lips curled up to see the calmness on her face as her hands slowly reached out to caress her hair.

"Sweetie, sleep well. Mama would be studying in the next room." She said softly before getting up to walk to the study room.

Reaching the desk, she sat behind it before looking at a distance with her own contemplation going in her head. Although she wasn't sure what she saw in her dream, the things look like it was the memory of the time when WeiWei was put inside her. That night has never surfaced to her until now, but today coming in her dream, she doesn't know whether she should believe it or not.

Furthermore, even if she has to believe, how could she bring herself to believe the presence of Ms. Yana there? How could she be there in her memories? She had never seen her before, let alone talk about knowing her five years back.

Even though she wanted to believe that dream, things didn't seem to make any sense to her. The more she thought the more she felt like the pieces of the puzzle were missing. Missing to an extent that she could no longer piece anything together.

"Argh! Why is everything going this difficult for me to solve? Would it become someone's pain if the mystery can come a little easy to me?" She said to herself that the irritation of not being able to join the pieces twisted her nerves under the skin. But just when she was about to deal with that irritation, a soft sleepy voice from the door answered her.

"Mama, hasn't the mystery always been made to test the IQ of different age groups? How could it turn out to be easy for you? You must use every brain cell to solve it."

Li Xue raised her eyes to look up at the door, only to find her little one standing there rubbing her eyes that were full of sleep.

"Why are you up, sweetie? Weren't you sleeping back in the room?" She asked and pouting her lips out, the little one walked inside before reaching her mother and getting up on her lap and hugging her by her stomach.

"Mama, you were not in the room. So, I came out to check if you have gotten down from our ride." She said and Li Xue's brows scrunched together in confusion at her words. But then again, she remembered what ride her princess was talking about.

Her lips tugged in a smile as caressing her hair gently, she said, "Ah, I suddenly remembered something so I came to finish it. I thought I could always join the ride from the middle." She said and the girl shook her head.

"Nope, Mama. You can't do that. We have to go together." She said, keeping her eyes closed while leaning all comfortably in the arms of her mother.

"But sweetie, I still have …"

"It's okay Mama, WeiWei will stay like this while you do your work. Finish it fast then we can return back to our ride together." The little head said and then without saying anything more she dozed off like she had been sleeping there for all this while.

Li Xue looked at her and couldn't say more. This little one was in the mood of devilishness now. So, it would be better not to provoke her in the middle of the night. Sighing to herself, she shook her head before reaching out for her phone.

There was no time for her to dwell over the nightmare anymore. Finishing something that she had remembered earlier, it would only be better to get back on the bed with her little one. Otherwise tomorrow it would be quite troublesome to make her understand.

Dialing a number on her phone, she waited for it to get connected and the moment it did, she said, "Hello, dear. I have again got a work for you to do. But whether it would be interesting for you to do or not … I can't be sure. Are you up for it?" She said as her eyes flashed with something, that was hard to decipher. There was something in her plans but looking at her face, no one would be able to make it out.
