Chapter 1083 – You Can, If You Want.
In the midst of so many things, two days passed by very soon. People remained busy with their own things. And before Li Xue could realize it, it was already the day of the gathering.
Since the gathering was something planned just in between the family, it was basically scheduled for the big lunch.
"Mama, are we really going to meet our Daddy Angel's family today?" All excited with the plans, WeiWei asked, looking up at her mother with shining eyes.
Li Xue helped with her dress one last time and nodded. To which the little one got further excited. Getting up on the bed, she jumped to ask, "Mama, Daddy Angel's family must also be our family, right?"
Li Xue looked at her daughter's excitement and wanted to chuckle. But somewhere she also understood where this anticipation was coming from. Given all the years, Li Wei has always remained around her, never cared to ask about family. But now that suddenly she was becoming aware of the family she would be having in the future, the little heart couldn't simply contain the happiness.
"Since he is your Daddy Angel, of course, his family would be our family as well. Now come and sit here, and let me braid your hair first. Later I would also have to get ready." She said before gently pulling the girl down to sit back on the bed. Although Li Wei obediently came down to sit on the order of her mother, her curiosity didn't die down easily.
As Li Xue braided her hair from the front, Little WeiWei fidgeted her finger, thinking more about the family she would be meeting today.
"Mama, I have met the two pretty aunts before and also Brother Yujian. They are also the family. Later will we also meet them?" She asked once again. And humming to her, Li Xue confirmed.
"Yes, my prettiest, your aunts would be there. And there would also be many others." She said and on the mention of others, the little head turned up to ask with more seriousness.
"Many others? Mama, do we have a really big family?"
Li Xue looked down at her and nodded. "Yes, we have but we will meet them today." She said and understanding her words, the little girl nodded. When Li Xue caught the seriousness on her face, she tied her hair first before kneeling down in front of her to add something important.
"Sweetie, I know you are my precious, who knows well to present herself in front of others. But still, Mama would remind you to be careful with your words and also the people you are speaking to. Since this would be your first-time meeting all of them, don't forget to leave a good impression on them, okay?"
She explained. Although she knew that it wasn't needed, she still mentioned it out of habit. And understanding her mother's concern instantly, WeiWei nodded. Keeping her innocent yet serious face, she said, "Don't worry Mama. WeiWei has not forgotten – 'First impression is the last impression'. I will behave well and won't let people see my crazy side."
She said and for a moment, her words like that stumped Li Xue. Tugging her brows with confusion, she reiterated to ask, "Your crazy side?"
And at her askance, Li Wei nodded. "Yes, Mama. My crazy side. I will not let other people see it. It would be just a secret between us." She said and her voice was laced with such seriousness that Li Xue simply doesn't know how to react.
So, shaking her head, she squinted her eyes at her, before reaching out to tingle her stomach. "Your crazy side, sweetie? Let me see it, how does it look?" She said, only making the little girl flutter with laughter.
"Haha … Mama, it tingles. Haha … Mama, WeiWei hair would go messy … ah haha. Please, Mama, stop it now." The little girl laughed more as Li Xue continued to tingle her. Tears almost rolled down her eyes but the mother-daughter didn't stop until they were satisfied.
When done, Li Wei turned to look at her mother and laughed, "Hehe … Mama, WeiWei will keep her this side hidden for you and Daddy Angel, don't worry. But you as well don't get down on your naughtiness there. Otherwise, how will WeiWei discipline you in front of so many people? It would look bad and WeiWei doesn't want to make anyone look bad."
She said and to her words, Li Xue could only nod, "Yes, my baby boss. Mama will obey your command as well." She said and the little one only smiled at it. "Now, since you are all ready to go. Go and wait downstairs until Mama gets ready. Your Daddy Angel will be back soon as well. Then we would leave together, okay?"
Little WeiWei nodded. "Okay, Mama. WeiWei would go downstairs first. Get ready and look beautiful. My Mama is already pretty and dressing up more, she would become prettiest." She said and then, giving a small wink, ran out. Behind Li Xue could just shake her head, curling her lips in a smile.
Then turning back to look in the mirror, she said, "Becoming pretty is easy. Becoming able to carry that prettiness throughout is what makes it tough." And today she has to walk the tough path in a way that to onlookers, it feels like she was all used to it.
She reminded herself while looking in the mirror, she took a deep breath in before turning to look at the dress that had gotten prepared just for the day, specifically.
While downstairs, sitting on the sofa, Little Li Wei was reading her book when suddenly a soft little furry ball appeared beside her. Reaching out to tingle her skin, the little being was soon successful in garnering her attention.
Turning down to look at it, Little WeiWei was quick to keep her book aside and scoop the little rabbit in her arms. "White Ears, what are you doing here today? Didn't I already inform you and others yesterday that today I will be going with Mama and Daddy Angel? I will not be able to play with you."
As if understanding her words, all rightly, the little rabbit was more reluctant to leave her. Cozying up in her arms, it only drew itself closer to her, giving an expression of sigh.
Looking at it like that, WeiWei could only pout her lips before disagreeing. "White Ears, don't be like this. Play on your own today, I will join you when I am back later. Right now, let me go." She said while she tried to let down the white ball of fur.
But however, she tried, the little guy was simply not leaving her. Holding onto her little fingers, he was blinking his eyes, knowing that his gestures like that were all understandable for her little human friend.
And its confidence like that was not completely wrong, since the little girl was truly able to read its gestures. She sighed, finding him like that as her heart also ached. "White Ears, don't be like this. I know you don't want to leave me and believe me, WeiWei also doesn't like to leave you like this. But today I am visiting Daddy Angel's family for the first time. I can't take you there. For today, just go and play yourself, okay?"
She asked but the little rabbit was still rigid. Blinking his red beaded eyes, he was just staring at Li Wei, asking her to think once again before breaking his heart.
"White Ear, be understanding. I can't take you there. I just promised Mama that I wouldbehave well there. If I take you there it would be a mess. Will you like to see me becoming a bad girl there?" She asked and for once the little rabbit let go of its stubbornness. Leaving her fingers, it stepped back
To which the little girl coaxed, "Good boy. Now stay good here. WeiWei promise next time when I go, I will also take you there, okay?" She said even though her words were reluctant.
"You can also take it today." Right at that moment, a voice from the entrance helped. And turning to look at once, Little Li Wei asked.
"Really, Daddy Angel? Can I?"
The man nodded. "You can, if you want.." He said, gazing at the white rabbit which had also turned to stare at him.
