Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

After finishing breakfast, Li Xue no longer felt the strange air around her. In just a short time, she was feeling all accustomed to the house as if she had been living there for long. And this sense of belongingness only further confirmed the thing that she was trying to believe all this while. And hence she doesn't care to dwell more over it, rather let the nature take charge.

She believed if she really had something in her heart, her instincts would help her find her same as she has also found her bond with WeiWei.

Since the little one has cooked her pancakes for breakfast, she thought to cook lunch for the little one well.

But just when she voiced out her thoughts, Feng Yi Lan pouted to say, "Dear, I won't stay here for long. Something cropped up at Aurora and I need to be there."

When Li Xue heard her, she instinctively turned to look at WeiWei, whose expression had clearly fallen. Maybe she has already understood that with Feng Yi Lan, Li Xue might also leave, and that seemingly made her sad.

Before Li Xue could even say anything, Weiwei ran up to wrap hare arms around Li Xue. "Mama, can you stay a little longer? WeiWei still hasn't spent enough time with you." She didn't demand like some spoiled brat, but rather urged softly in a tone that could instantly pull anyone's heart.

Li Xue felt her heart reacting as well. Wrapping her arm around WeiWei, she turned to look up at Feng Yi Lan. Although she didn't say anything, her gaze was enough to tell what she was thinking.

Feng Yi Lan could never have a problem with that, rather she was looking for opportunities where Li Xue could stay more here. So, the moment she saw the request in Li Xue's eyes to stay longer, she happily obliged to say, "Li Xue, since you don't have anything important in your schedule and WeiWei wants to spend more time with you, why don't you stay here for a while longer? My brother has quite a several cars here so I will take one and go back on my own."

Since Li Xue also had the same thoughts, she didn't refuse Feng Yi Lan. Instead, nodding, she said, "Then take the trouble and do that. I will stay and cook lunch for WeiWei since she has treated me to such delicious pancakes. How would that be, sweetie?"

When Li Wei heard her she was at once happy. Nodding her head profusely, she said, "That would be great, Mama. I will help you with the cooking."

Li Xue smiled and nodded. Soon Feng Yi Lan left but it was not before she sent a gaze upstairs. Since they have come here, not for once Feng Shufen has come downstairs. But now that she would be gone, she was sure there might have been some progress between them. After all, nature and fate always have their own plans. And in the case of her brother and Li Xue, destiny has always played the part of the cupid.

After Feng Yi Lan left, Li Xue soon scooped the little one up in her arms before getting straight to the kitchen. Placing her over the counter, she leaned towards her to ask while nudging her nose. "So, do you have anything special that you want to eat? Tell me and I will cook it for you."

She said and Li Wei giggled a little before putting a thinking finger on her forehead as if she was in a deep ponder.

Li Xue didn't hurry her, rather allowed her to think as long as she wished. Once she saw her eyes shining, she asked, "What did you think then? Did you already make the choice in your head?"

WeiWei nodded while pulling her lips in a wide smile, "Yes, Mama. I have thought about it already."

"What is it then?" Li Xue was also excited to know. So, raising her brows of amusement, she waited to hear her say.

WeiWei looked at her mother before leaning forward to wrap it around her Mama's neck to give her a hug. Then kissing her cheeks, she said, "WeiWei will be happy with anything Mama will cook. Especially broccoli. But Mama, in the end, don't forget to include desserts."

When Li Xue heard her emphasis on broccoli and dessert, she quirked her brow slightly to ask, "You like broccoli?"

"WeiWei has learned to eat them well now. It no longer gives a bad taste and didn't you say that it's good for health?"

Through her words, Li Xue could easily come to understand that the little one has never liked broccoli and recently she has brought herself to adjust to it and wanted her to know it. Since broccolis was really good for health, Li Xue only caressed her hair before nodding to praise her. "Great. You will stay healthy eating broccoli."

"I know Mama. But will WeWei be awarded for being a good girl who eats broccoli?"

She spoke and Li Xue raised her brows. "Reward?" The little girl nodded excitedly.

To which, Li Xue thought before a moment to ask, "That depends on what you ask for?"

WeiWei smiled. "An extra scoop of dessert, Mama. Weiwei is not greedy, so she just wants an extra scoop of dessert. Isn't that a good reward?"

Li Xue was about to nod to her when she paused with some thought. "That's a good reward indeed. But dear, tell me first about your sweet intake this week. You know too many sweets are not good for your health, right?"

The little girl at once raised her three fingers to swear, "Mama, WeiWei is telling the truth. In the month you have not been around, WeiWei has been strict to follow all your rules, she has not broken even one. She has not eaten any extra sweets."

Li Xue paused. Strict to follow her rules? Did she make rules for her? Did she make rules for this house too?

She didn't know but looking around the house she had a feeling. After all, everything in the house looked of her taste. Be it the patterns of the curtains or the chandelier. Even the kitchen. Everything was just as she would have liked. Not even the royal palace was like this.

For some reason, this place was looking more like her house than the palace where she was living currently.

Although Li Xue was feeling like that there was nothing that she could do, to be honest. After all, that was all that she was feeling. She had nothing in her memory to believe in.

"Okay then, since you have been good all this while I will reward you with an extra dessert. But it will only be today, okay?"  She said and the little girl nodded happily. "Okay then, come on. Recite to me good things that you have learned all this while I cook."

Li Xue said but WeiWei still urge her to get down from the counter. In the end, Li Xue put her down and allowed her to tail around her while she prepared the lunch.

And from outside the kitchen Sister Margaret watched along with a few maids. The old lady held tears in her eyes. This has been the best sight for her to watch since last month. Finally, she won't have to worry.

It didn't take long and the lunch was prepared. Li Xue didn't have to search for anything in the kitchen. As long as she wanted it, she instinctively went to the right cabinet to get it. It felt like moving around this place was out of her habit.

"Finally, it's all prepared." Li Xue said as she looked at everything before turning the stove off. Then turning to look at WeiWei with satisfaction. "Thank you for giving me a hand, sweetie. Lunch is prepared but ..." As she said she checked her watch to continue, "... there is still time for the lunch hour. So, let's wait for a while."

WeiWei smiled and nodded. "Okay Mama, I will go and call Daddy Angel then." Li Xue smiled and nodded. And just then Sister Margaret came in to say.

"Madam, you can also go and wash up. Staying in the kitchen all this while must also be giving you a sense of greasiness. Don't worry, once you are done getting fresh, I will bring everything to the dining table."

Li Xue could only smile at her. "Then Sister Margaret, I will only have to trouble you with it. Please look after everything while I go and use the washroom for a bit." She said, and the old lady nodded.

Then both Li Xue and WeiWei came out of the kitchen. While ascending the stairs, the little one held her mother's hands and said, "Mama, you can find the room, I will go and call Daddy Angel. He must be in the study."

Li Xue nodded and soon reaching the corridor the two walked in two separate directions.
