Chapter 1182 For you are the world that I desire to live in.
Li Xue stared at her daughter deeply before getting inside the room. Although there was a smile on her lips, that smile was simply to coax her daughter to ease up from her sullen mood. “Really?” She asked and thinking once more about it, the little girl nodded.”Yes, Mama. WeiWei has been a good girl to finish lunch. We shouldn’t disrespect the food that is served on our plate and should finish without scrunching our noses. I remembered your teachings and followed them well. I didn’t give anyone any hard time.” The little one said.
And to her thought, she was honest in that. Even though she was upset, she completed her routine without being a naughty child and didn’t disturb anyone’s work.
Li Xue looked at her girl and understood her thoughts well. But her thoughts needed an alternation to understand that things weren’t that easy. Thinking that in her head, soon Li Xue pushed the sofa chair kept on the side to bring it near the desk and took the seat.
Then staring for a moment more, she collected her thoughts before finally asking her little one. “I see sweetie, you are the best child and never do any wrong. I believe you. But I have something to ask you. Will you help me?” She asked and the little girl didn’t hesitate to nod to her mother.
Li Xue smiled. “Great. I knew my sweetie would never refuse to help me. So, it’s like this. Mama has got some queries in her thoughts. You just have to help me find the answers to it. Will it be good?”
Little WeiWei nodded. “But Mama, is it related to some current affairs? I have not read them for quite some days now.”
The mother chuckled seeing her princess getting so serious about it. But not ruining her interest, she shook her head before pulling the girl down from her chair and pulling her up on her lap. This way it was more better. She could hug her to her heart content and relieve her exhaustion as well.
”It’s fine, baby. Mama won’t be asking you any current affairs. It’s just some life-related question I am confused about. I am sure you would be able to help me know the right thing perfectly.” Li Xue said and hearing her mother’s words all carefully, the little one agreed to help.
And seeing her agree, Li Xue hugged her more dearly as she began. “Baby, I was thinking what if tomorrow when I come home, I finish my dinner early and then doing my working I went directly to my room to sleep. Will you be able to manage in the home without me?”
Little Li Wei paused. She pulled a little away from her mother on her lap itself before turning to look at her with a tug on her brows. “Mama, did something happen?”
Li Xue feigned to not understand her words. Tugging her brows in confusion, she asked, “Why sweetie? Why do you ask like that?”
The little girl blinked and her eyes showed the trouble her heart was feeling with just a thought of Li Xue’s words. “Mama, when you return home, you come to meet me first. Then, getting freshened up, you spend time with me. And only tucking me to sleep, you go to study room to work. If tomorrow, you come home and having dinner, you go directly to work and then sleep, I will feel that you are upset with something and feeling low. I won’t feel good seeing you like that.”
She explained and Li Xue heard her well with all her concentration. “Oh, I see then wouldn’t it mean that seeing me like that you would also have a hard time? Even though I will finish my food and won’t disturb you, you would still feel bad?”
Little Li Wei nodded. Of course, seeing her mother upset or in pain would hurt her most. How could she be able to manage in peace if, after returning home, her Mama wouldn’t want her cuddles?
Just a thought of it was enough to scare her. WeiWei loved her Mama the most. There could be no way she would ever want to miss her hugs and kisses.
The next second, WeiWei jumped to wrap her arms around her mother’s neck, reluctant to let it go. “No, no, Mama. Please don’t ever be like that. WeiWei would be a good girl and would never upset you. And even if you get very tired and want to sleep early, we would finish our dinner fast and would go together to sleep. So, that you can hug me like a teddy in your sleep. Okay?”
She said and with her, each word, the warp of her arms only grew tighter around Li Xue’s neck. And with just that wrap, Li Xue knew how scared was her princess already.
Smiling at her love, she gently patted her back before cooing her to ease. “It’s okay, sweetie. Mama would never be like that. She loves to give hugs and kisses to you when she comes home. In no way would she think of missing it. If even I forget anytime, come and give your sweetest kiss to me. I will forget everything and embrace you for you are my world that I would always desire to live in. Okay?”
Only after her mother said all that, did Little Li Wei feel comfortable. Pulling back from the tight hug, she looked at her Mama’s eyes and reconfirmed to ask, “Mama, are you promising that?” Her eyes were already welled up with tears.
Li Xue nodded, wiping it off. “Yes, sweetie. Did Mama ever lie to you?”
Little Li Wei shook her head. “Nope, Mama never lied to me. But she had also never asked me something like this.” She said with a pout and Li Xue chuckled at her cute face before hugging her close to say.
”That’s because Mama wanted you to understand that sometimes being upset over someone or something else would also hurt the people you don’t intend to hurt. Same as today. Although you didn’t disrespect your plate of food, finished everything up, and also didn’t disturb anyone, you still hurt Sister Margaret and every other by being different to them than usual. Do you think you did the right thing?”
The little girl understood at once and shook her head. Her eyes blinked as guilt got on her expressions. “Mama, I didn’t want to hurt them. But it happened on its own.”
”I know sweetie that you didn’t intend it. That’s why I explained it to you today. Since it’s already happened today. Let’s forget it for now, but from next time, be mindful of your actions always, okay?” Li Xue said and Little WeiWei nodded to her before hugging her mother all close to herself.
Outside, Sister Margaret smiled. She held the tray of refreshments in her hand. And only when she was sure that the things inside were settled did she knock at the door for permission.
Li Xue heard the knock and called back, “Please come in.” She said and the old lady entered in with a tray.
”Madam, I have brought the refreshments for you and little young miss.”
”Thank you, Sister Margaret. Please keep it here.” Li Xue said, gesturing to the old lady at the table. And nodding to her, Sister Margaret soon kept it on the table ready to bow and leave.
But just when she was about to ask permission to leave, a soft voice from the front caught her attention, melting her heart all instantly.
”Sister Granny Margaret, WeiWei is sorry. She didn’t want to give you or others any hard time. From next time, she won’t do the same and will be more thoughtful of her actions.”
