Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

The moment Li Xue stepped out of her car; a fluffy ball full of energy came running to wrap her arms around her legs. "Mama, you are back. Did you miss WeiWei?"

Little Li We asked, blinking her eyes with hope. The moment Li Xue stared down at her warm pair of gray orbs; her heart melted. Smiling down at her, she at once kneeled and wrapped her arms around her while taking her into a warm hug to say, "How can Mama not come back after giving her word to her precious WeiWei?"

She said and the moment she put her words like that an expression full of innocent confusion got onto the little girl's face.

She didn't say anything for a good moment of time and let Li Xue hug her. But the moment her mother pulled away from the hug to look at her face, she asked, "Mama, did you remember WeiWei already?"

Li Xue paused for a moment. Her eyes stared at the hopeful pairs of the little one and couldn't speak more. To be honest, she, herself, didn't realize how easily those words slipped her lips. She easily called herself her Mama as if she hadalways been one for her. What was even happening to her? Was Feng Yi Lan really telling the truth earlier?

Did she and Feng Shufen really have a thing before? As she thought of it like that, she felt someone's gaze staring down at her. Instinctively, she looked up and saw another pair of gray eyes looking at her. Before she could understand his gaze, she felt a tug on her sleeves, making her momentarily look away from the man.

WeiWei was very excited to know if her mother had truly gotten her memory back. If not, she would work hard with her aunt to make her remember everything. But if she had, wouldn't it also be great?

"Mama, did you get your memory back?" She asked again.

Li Xue looked down at the girl and her expectant eyes. Just looking at her, she could tell that she was hoping for a yes from her. But a yes was not something she could give at the moment. But at the same time, she didn't want her to lose heart as well.

So, after giving some thought, she pinched her cheeks gently to say, "Even though Mama didn't get her memory back, she could never forget to love you, sweetie. So, does that matter?"

She said and the next moment WeiWei understood what her mother meant. Not making it tough for her, she smiled and then leaned to press her lips on her mother's cheeks to say. "It doesn't matter. As long as Mama loves WeiWei and doesn't leave WeiWei, nothing else matters." She said, and Li Xue smiled looking at her brimming with happiness.

"Mama will always stay with WeiWei. Could she even bear to stay away from her?" She asked and WeiWei paused for a moment with some doubt. Just when Li Xue thought that the little one would disagree with her, she giggled out to shake her head with confidence.

"Never! Mama loves WeiWei and she would never leave her. She has promised before."

Unknowingly, tears came to the corner of Li Xue's eyes. And taking the little one in her embrace, she hummed in acceptance of her words before saying in a small murmur. "I will always stay with you."

At this moment, Li Xue no longer held any doubt. The way the little one was able to pull the string of her heart, how could she doubt her relationship with her. They must have shared a good bond that even after forgetting all of it, she still couldn't control her heart from drawing toward her.

While Li Xue embraced the little one, Feng Yi Lan stood on the side and watched the mother-daughter bond. No doubt, people say that blood runs thicker than water. Even without having memories of the past, Li Xue was still connected with WeiWei as deeply as she was before. '

If not the mother's instinct, what else could it be?

After exchanging a few more words with WeiWei, Li Xue instinctively looked up at the window where she had seen Feng Shufen standing before. But now there was no one there. It felt empty.

"Mama, do you know I have cooked you breakfast. Let's go inside and I will serve it to you." Little Li Wei suddenly said and then pulling her by her hands, she got inside.

Inside, Sister Margaret was waiting to welcome the lady. Giving a bright smile, she quickly greeted, "Madam! Young Miss!"

But before Li Xue could speak a few words to the old lady in reply, WeiWei was already pulling her inside while politely saying to the old lady, "Sister Granny Margaret, let's not waste more time. Since Mama has come, it's better to bring her to breakfast first. Please help me bring it to the breakfast table."

Sister Margaret nodded heartily before going inside the kitchen and bringing out the casserole next.

In the meantime, WeiWei pulled out a chair for Li Xue before helping her get the seat. Li Xue didn't refuse. Since the little one had done so much in preparing the breakfast, there could be no way she could refuse.

But then Little Li Wei looked around as if she was looking for something or someone. When Li Xue followed her confused gaze, she gently asked, "WeiWei are you looking for someone?"

WeiWei turned to look at her and nodded. "Daddy Angel was here. Since I have prepared breakfast, I thought to call him too, but ..."

At her mention of Feng Shufen's name, Li Xue also turned to look around but just then Sister Margaret interrupted to say, "Little young miss, you can eat first. Young Master has got some urgent work to complete so, he has said he would taste it afterward."

When the little girl heard her. She pouted for a moment but then looking at Li Xue she nodded. "It's okay, Sister Granny Margaret. Since Daddy Angel has got important work to do, let him do it. I will save some pancakes for him later." She said as she quickly served her mother some before helping Feng Yi Lan and herself.

They all began eating soon and Li Xue praised WeiWei for the flavor of the breakfast. "It's delicious. Did you really cook it by yourself?" She asked and smiling happily, the little one nodded.

"Yep, Mama. I did but Sister Granny Margaret was helping me out."

"Aye, little chipmunk, you are so biased towards your mother. You never prepared me a breakfast like this." Feng Yi Lan also chimed in. At which WeiWei simply smiled to add.

"Hehe, Aunt with Mama, I have even prepared some for you. Please enjoy it."

Halfway through breakfast, Feng Yi Lan received a call and she excused herself to walk out to receive the call.

Although Li Xue was eating, her eyes were looking at WeiWei every now and then as if hesitating to ask something. Knowing her mother too well, when WeiWei caught her gaze like that, she smiled looking at her, and said, "Mama, you should never hesitate in asking WeiWei questions. Since you have said that I can ask you anything anywhere, you can ask me the same. I will tell you all."

She said, and with her mature words like that, Li Xue didn't know how she should react. She wanted to laugh but then what if the little one was too sensitive to it? Wouldn't it feel hurtful?

Thinking it that way, Li Xue simply smiled softly and asked, "Can I truly ask you anything?"

Little WeiWei nodded, "Yes Mama, you can."

At which Li Xue no longer held back. So, focusing on the little girl, she asked the one question that was keeping her doubtful all this while, "WeiWei, did you know that I have a memory loss?"

WeiWei didn't answer it instantly. But thinking for a while she nodded, "Yes, Mama. WeiWei knew it but since you are sick, WeiWei won't blame you. I have heard Doctor Uncle say you will get fine soon. And until then WeiWei will wait patiently. After all, you have taught me, the fruit borne through patience tastes sweeter."

She said, and Li Xue couldn't hold her lips from curling. The tone with which the little one explains herself seems oddly familiar and interesting. It was hard not to fall for her. Especially when she stares down at you while speaking all that. Her innocence was enough to win you over.

"Dear, if you know that I have lost my memory, why do you still call me mother? What if I haven't recognized you?" Li Xue didn't want to ask this. But she feared. If she would have been insensitive and refused WeiWei from letting her call her mom, wouldn't that be hard on the little soul?

She couldn't even imagine seeing her in that pain. Luckily, she never did that. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to forgive herself.

But her question took the little one off guard. Thinking about it for a while, she said, "Except calling you Mama, I can call you nothing else, Mama. Since I have only learned to call you that. Even if you forget WeiWei and never remember her, WeiWei will still call you Mama because you will still be WeiWei's Mama."

Although the little one had said it in simple words, Li Xue could clearly hear the deep and unconditional love the little one was conveying with her words. Her heart warmed as the next second, she smiled and leaned in pecking her cheek softly.
