Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

The day passed sooner than expected. Although Li Xue was able to complete most of the things, still she felt there was a lot that was left to do. "Sister Margaret, please help me check the list of dishes with the chefs. Ask them to include more of the dishes of children's liking."

She ordered and following behind her Sister Margaret nodded before gesturing to a maid to go according to the matter. The maid nodded and left. And one after the other soon the maids left to fulfill all the responsibilities Li Xue slowly delegated to them.

Once done finally, she took a deep breath to turn around to look at the old lady and ask, "Sister Margaret, I have done all the things that I can remember of. Do you think there is anything that I have missed around?" As she asked, her eyes slowly scanned around to check.

Sister Margaret also looked around. But seeing the perfection of the preparations made, she couldn't help but chuckle slightly, "It's all done, Madam. You have put everything into perfection. The rest of the things that are yet to be completed; don't worry about them. I will look after them personally until it gets completed. You can go to get ready for the day now. The guests would start coming soon. And it wouldn't look good if, at that time, you're not here all ready to welcome them."

Li Xue understood what she meant and nodded. "I understand Sister Margaret. I will go and get ready first then. Please look at the things here. Also, the kids would come earlier so serve them something light. I will ask and see where WeiWei is. Yi Lan might already be coming home with her."

She said and Sister Margaret nodded with assurance. "We will look after everything. Please rest assured." She said, and Li Xue left soon to get ready.

Li Xue had planned the evening party very well. Since it was WeiWei's birthday party and both her family and friends needed to be invited, she divided the whole event into two parts. So, in the early part of the evening, it was just a fun time for the little kids while the latter part of the evening would include the elders as well.

Although the cake cutting would be done once, it would be in the middle of the evening when both the kids and elders would be present. After the cake cutting the kids would be sent home while Li Xue would have time to meet the rest.

As known from before, soon the guests started coming in. First came the kids. Since this was their first visit to WeiWei's place, everyone was excited. Xiao Fei was excited more than anyone else.

"Aunty, I am FeiFei, Li Wei's best friend. Can I know where she is? I have brought her the gift and want her to open it and see if it's to her liking." When she wasn't able to find WeiWei around, the little FeiFei had no choice but to come and ask one of the serving maids around.

The maid politely bowed her head and said, "I am sorry but Little Young Miss has not yet arrived. Please have something and wait a little longer. As for the gift, you can keep it there along with others. Soon all of them will be sent to her room."

Xiao Fei instantly shook her head. "But I am not like others. WeiWei has said I am her best friend. If my gift gets mixed up with others, she won't be able to tell what I bought for her. So, I will give this only to her." She said and the maid nodded to her.

But right then Li Xue's voice came from behind almost startling the little girl. "If you have really brought this gift for WeiWei, you don't have to worry. Even within thousands of gifts, she would be able to find yours because it's from you." She said, and at her words and a voice like that, Xiao Fei turned to look with eyes filled with glitters of admiration.

Dressed in a flowy maroon evening gown, Li Xue looked like an innocent enchantment. Her wavy locks were done in a way that was beautifully spread over her shoulders while at the same time her petite face was on the perfect show. With minimal makeup and simple but exquisite jewelry pieces on her ears, wrists, and neck, she could perfectly be referred to as the honor of high society and big family as Fengs.

This was not her first time seeing or meeting Li Xue. So, the moment she caught her sight, she knew who she was. Blinking her eyes, she asked, "Really, Aunty?"

Li Xue smiled and then nodded before walking up to her. "Mhm. I know WeiWei. She has got sharp eyes that could easily spot love. Your love would never be missed." She said as reaching out she gently caressed the cheeks of the girl.

Although she has met the girl only once, she could tell how Weiwei and she would have become friends. Their personalities looked quite similar. It was just that this little girl looks a little introverted.

Xiao Fei looked at her hand and then gave some thought to the words of Li Xue, she said, "Aunty, I believe WeiWei but can I still give this gift to her with my hands. I want to see her open it."

Li Xue looked down at the gift and smiled. Then nodding, she said, "You can, dear. Just don't get tired while carrying it around."

The little girl shook her head. "I will not get tired. But how long will it take for WeiWei to arrive."

Li Xue looked at her watch and then towards the entrance, "She has gone to enjoy some time with her Aunt. She will be getting back soon. Why don't you go and play with others until then?"

The little girl looked around and her expression got complicated. She looked around at other kids playing but held no hint of eagerness to join them.

Li Xue didn't fail to notice her expression. She read the thoughts of the girl and reached out to pat her head. "FeiFei, if you don't want to play with them, how about you tag along with me? I will go around and check things slowly while showing you the house. Will it be okay?"

Xiao Fei immediately nodded. And chuckling at the sudden expression of eagerness, Li Xue shook her head internally before reaching out to hold her hand and then taking her around.

When she checked the arrangements for the second time, Li Xue was quite satisfied. As Sister Margaret has said, she has particularly made everything perfect. While looking around she also gave a tour of the house to Xiao Fei when a maid came to inform her, "Madam, Little Young Miss has returned. Young Ms. Yi Lan is bringing her in."

She said and Li Xue at once turned to look at the maid to say, "Then do according to what I have said. Prepare for everything." She said, and the maid nodded before she left. While behind, she quickly typed the text to let Feng Shufen know about the arrival.

Feng Shufen was at home itself. Although Li Xue didn't know what he was doing in the study, she could sense his attitude was a bit different today. He looked all caught up with something. She wanted to ask him what the thing was about but at the same time, she knew that her query at the time might make him more worried. Given how he had reacted to the things yesterday.

So, not making it more hard for him, she thought of giving him space and time. She was sure that he would come to tell her everything himself.

When done, she quickly reached to hold the hands with Xiao Fei in her hands and said, "Okay, we are done here. WeiWei is already here. Let's go and give her a birthday surprise." She said before tugging the little girl along with her.

While at the same time outside, Feng Yi Lan brought WeiWei back as per their play. She has deliberately taken the little one to shop around and honestly, she has to say that it was tough to carry her around while keeping a secret. Because the little one was intelligent enough to see through the lies immediately.

"Little chipmunk, did you enjoy your day with me?"

The little girl walked down the pavement as her eyes stared at the house checking if there was some unusuality. "It was a fun day, but WeiWei was not happy because Aunt Yi Lan held a secret."

"There was no secret, dear. Why do you think so?" Feng Yi Lan was trying her best to make the little girl believe in her. But she was there getting auspicious.

Little Li Wei paused in her steps turning to look at her aunt, she said, "Because WeiWei could simply not believe that Mama would forget WeiWei's birthday. There must be some secret going on between you and Mama. Or else why would you take me shopping without asking Mama out?"
