Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

After two days, on a fair, bright morning, Li Xue sat under the shade as she looked at Gao Fan sitting across her. He insisted on serving her a cup of tea and she had no heart to refuse him, given how elegant and handsome his actions looked to eyes. After all, handsome men have become too less in the society after she met Feng Shufen in her life.

"Madam!" Gao Fan said as he politely pushed the cup of chamomile tea to Li Xue.

Li Xue's lips gracefully turned up as she glanced down at the tea and reverted, "Thank you, Mr. Secretary. Now if you have satisfied yourself, can you explain me about the thing I asked you before?" She had never been the one to forget her reason for specifically meeting someone, until the person is not Feng Shufen.

Goa Fan looked up at Li Xue, his tone ll determined to his recent taken pledge, "Madam, I have already turned in my resignation. And I have thought well about it. This is for the best." He said and Li Xue instantly spoke in a questioning tone.

"Thought well? Do you really think so, Mr. Secretary?" She asked before adding her next part of her speech with a chuckle, "Because if you ask me, from where I am looking, I don't think you have thought well about it. You might have just thought of your own self but not about the company and your President, for whose well-being and prosperity you have once oath-ed. Have you?"

"Madam, I …" Stuttering in his words was a taboo for Gao Fan and in his whole professional life, he has never once stammered during any meeting or during any negotiation. But today, no matter how hard he tried, he was not able to speak a word to support his decision.

Li Xue nodded as she continued further, knowing that finally she caught the right pulse of the man. "You said it right, Mr. Secretary, you did this for the best. But the best only involves you because how I see it, you leaving the company will only benefit you. As for the company, it will be hard for it to cope the loss of losing you, the ever-known competent member of the company tree."

"There are more competent employees in the company." Gao Fan said hurriedly before the guilt that trapped him more. His voice was a bit stressed that was definitely not suiting the calm personality of the secretary that Li Xue had known of.

She smiled and the man got confused at her curl of lips. "Mr. Secretary, how long have you known your President? Do you think he can trust just anyone at the company?"

Gao Fan went silent and Li Xue continued, "Gao Fan, I know you blame yourself for how things turned out. But you need to accept that in actuality, it wasn't your fault in the first place. You were just acting on my orders. Also, resigning like this, you will bring great harm to Feng Shufen. You will leave him alone to face the people that might come to backstab him anytime. He might get someone like you but you won't be able to guarantee the success of that thought."

"So once again I will ask you to think about it. I still want WeiWei to MingMing to learn and grow under your guidance and protection. You know what I mean, right?" She said and then slowly took a sip from the cup.

After saying her words, she didn't hurry, rather took her slow time to complete her tea while giving the time to Gao Fan to think. And once she was done, she once again looked up at the man and smiled before pushing the chair to stand up. "Thank you for taking out time to come and meet me here. I would go inside first. If you feel comfortable, we would really appreciate having you at our lunch table. I will ask Sister Margaret to set an extra plate. But if you have other commitments, I would not hold you back."

She said, giving a modest smile to him and then left. She was recovering well and there was a sheen glow on her skin that was telling a lot about the happiness and ease she was feeling in her regular life.

Gao Fan stood there and saw her walking. There were all complicated things going inside him, but given how Li Xue explained things to him also made sense that was making his determination waver. After long the stress from the face of Gao Fan dissipated and he mumbled to oneself, "Nope, I have made the right decision and I am not going to change it now."

He said and then turned on his heels and left. Once again, the confidence and composure returned back to his professional stature.

While back inside the house, Li Xue went back to look at her babies. When she entered the room, her eyes grew slightly small, while her lips curled up. When she went out to meet Gao Fan, she simply said WeiWei to look after the baby. But she never knew that girl would get so diligent about it and have him down her wings.

"WeiWei!" She called and the girl's vigilant eyes at once turned at her mother's voice.

Turning to look at the door, she said, "Mama, you are back. Don't worry, WeiWei made sure that DaoDao had an uninterrupted sleep. Neither I allowed the sun to interrupt him nor did I let the beautiful butterfly to kiss him."

Li Xue pressed her lips together and walked inside the room before reaching the side of her daughter to caress her hair. "I knew that he would be comfortable under your care, sweetie. But you didn't have to come to his side and stand like this. Weren't you doing your homework?"

WeiWei looked at her books at her study desk and nodded. "Yes, Mama I was studying but my little brother is more important. I would complete my homework before the due time for sure, but just to complete it prior that due time, I can't let my brother suffer from extra sleepiness. He is already so sleepy that he hasn't yet opened his eyes. If his sleep doesn't get complete, how will he get to see me? And if he not sees me, how will I play with him?"

She said and Li Xue couldn't argue more. Shaking her head, she agreed with her reason and said, "Fine, you did a good job. Now go and complete your homework. Once done, we will g and have lunch." She said and WeiWei nodded to walk back to her desk.

But just getting halfway, she turned to look back at her mother and informed, "Mama, Royal Pretty Grandma has called. She was asking for you and has asked me to let you know that once you get free, you should call her."

She said, and Li Xu's brows wrinkled a little. But then nodding, she gestured WeiWei to get back to her work, before picking up the phone to make the call.
