Chapter 1322 On birthdays, all wishes are fulfilled.
When Li Wei saw her aunt pausing in her steps because of startlement, she went back to reach her hands before pulling her along, “It’s okay, Aunt Yi Lan. WeiWei won’t blame you. Since this is a surprise that’s planned for me, secrets could be understandable. Let’s go in now.”She said, as pulling Feng Yi Lan with her, they soon stepped inside the house. But the moment they entered; her little steps paused. Looking around, she asked, “Huh? Aunt Yi Lan, why is it so dark here? Did Sister Granny Margaret forget to switch on the lights today?”
As she asked, the moment itself one light flashed over her from the top, almost startling her. WeiWei turned to look at Feng Yi Lan behind her but found no one there. Then she turned ahead only to see another light flashing over the staircase from where she saw her mother stepping down.
Her eyes glittered at the sight of her mother. Only Li Xue knew how much her little one admires her. So, especially on her birthdays, she prepares herself gorgeous enough as per her sweetie’s liking.
Before Li Xue could even walk down the stairs, the little one already sprinted her way to her, almost meeting her at the last foot stair.
Li Xue chuckled seeing her like that but she stayed mum, letting the girl complete whatever she had in her plans.
Little WeiWei also didn’t say anything at that very instant. She instead looked at her mother with dreamy eyes before circling around her to say, “Mama, did you get dressed for me today?”
The mother smiled and looked down at her daughter before smiling, “What do you think, sweetie?”
The little one jumped on her feet with excitement. “Of course, it would be for me. After all, it’s my birthday today. You dress every year on this day for me.”
”Mhm. It seems like you have yet not forgotten this ritual of ours.” Li Xue smiled as slowly she reached out to crouch down on her knees and pull her nose with adoration. Then leaning, she kissed her cheeks to wish, “Happy birthday, sweetie. Thank you for coming into my life.”
Looking at her mother smiling, Little Li Wei smiled as well. Then leaning in, she wrapped her arms around her neck before placing a small kiss on Li Xue’s cheeks to add, “And thank you, Mama, for choosing Weiwei. If not, how else would I be able to have such a pretty Mama as you.”
Li Xue couldn’t help but blush. “Am I looking that pretty?”
Without any hesitation, Weiwei nodded, “The most pretty one.” She said and at that moment her eyes caught the sight of Feng Shufen, appearing from behind dressed in a black tailor-made suit. And finding him there, she smiled before twisting and jumping up in his arms to say, “Daddy Angel, WeiWei thought you would be in the office. Did you not go today?”
Feng Shufen shook his head. “It’s your birthday. I have no other work today but to accompany you and your mother.” He said and seeing the girl smile in his arms, he turned to look at Li Xue, whose lips were also holding an upcurve.
”Yay!! We will have fun together then.” The little one chimed when she heard her Daddy Angel. But at that time, Li Xue coughed and cleared her throat before looking at her daughter to ask.
”But sweetie, it’s your birthday. Are you sure you just want to spend it with us? What about your friends? Won’t you call them?” She asked and the little one paused to look around. There was no one. Although she has come here with Feng Yi Lan. After coming inside the house, she also left her.
Furrowing her brows with confusion, the little girl looked at her mother with a pout as she said, “Mama, we live so far away from the city. It would be tough to invite them all today.”
Li Xue shrugged her shoulders. “It’s your birthday sweetie. Whatever you wish, might come true. You should try it once and see.” She said and Li Wei blinked at her before turning to look at her Daddy Angel.
Feng Shufen gave a nod to her as well and then the little one closed her eyes to make a wish. And just when she would have completed making a wish, Li Xue snapped her fingers. And with just her one snap, the lights around were all brightened up and a howl of surprise was heard.
”HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LI WEI!”
With an expression of surprise, Li Wei turned to look around only to find all her school friends in the house. Amazement filled her eyes as she turned to look at Li Xue. “Mama, they are all here.”
Li Xue’s lips curled up as smiling, she nodded, “Of course, didn’t I say that on birthdays, all wishes come true. Some take time while some get fulfilled instantly. The wish you made just now must have gotten approved immediately.” She said and the little one was instantly overjoyed.
She turned to look at her Daddy Angel and Feng Shufen understood her gaze instantly. Setting her down on her foot, he allowed her to move around.
WeiWei turned and looked around. Most of them were from her class. She was happy to see them. But her smile got brightest when she spotted Avron amidst them. Her lips curled in a smile as she was ready to walk to him when suddenly she felt a tug on her arm.
She turned to look only to find Xiao Fei beside him. Her lips curled up when she saw her there as well. “FeiFei, you have also come here?”
Xiao Fei nodded, “WeiWei, Aunty has sent a car to pick me up. So, mummy got me ready for the party. Also, look here I brought you a gift.” She said as she finally gave the gift to her.
WeiWei smiled as she leaned to kiss the cheeks of her friend. “Thank you FeiFei. I will open your gift first. Later you accompany me to open others as well, okay?”
Xiao Fei nodded and Li Wei was ready to turn and walk to Avron. But Li Xue stopped her, holding her by her arms.
”Sweetie, let me get you to change into your dress first. Then we can begin the party. Your friends must be waiting for your birthday cake.” She said and the little one turned to look at everyone. Although no one said anything, she could read in everyone’s gaze. They were all waiting for the cakes.
So, in the end, turning to her mother, she nodded. “Okay, Mama. I will change first and then we can begin the party.” She said and then holding the hands of her mother, she turned to climb the stairs.
And soon the two were gone. When Feng Shufen turned to look back, his expression hardened slightly at the sight of so many kids. Still, he held his emotions in check and turned to look at the old lady to say, “Sister Margaret, look over the guests. Serve them and keep them engaged until the party starts.”
Sister Margaret nodded and at once left to attend to the little guests. While Feng Shufen was also ready to walk to a corner when he felt a pat on his shoulders. He turned to look and saw Qi Shuai grinning at him.
He pursed his lips and turned back to leave. But before he could, Qi Shuai courageously wrapped his arms around his shoulders and asked, “What? Do you still hate kids?”
Feng Shufen turned to give him a cold glare. But who has ever said that Qi Shuai couldn’t be stubborn enough? Ignoring his glare, the dramatic Qi Shuai said, “Shufen, kids are the most innocent souls on Earth. You should not be cold towards them. Look at them. Don’t they look cute enough to melt your heart?”
”Have you not got anything better to do today?”
Feng Shufen coldly asked as he at once removed his hand that was wrapped on his shoulders. Then walking to a corner, he took a chair and sat at the home bar section. Qi Shuai followed after him and took a seat as well.
”Shufen, this is not fair. You have to explain today. Why are you so indifferent to the other kids when you are totally different with WeiWei? “Is it because she is your flesh and blood? Or is it because of something else? I mean people do get extra attached to their own kids but your case seems different. So, tell me what it is?”
Feng Shufen stared at Qi Shuai as if he was really dumb but deep within, he also could sense the different feelings he held for WeiWei. He was not sure why he had never been indifferent to her. Maybe the very first day she appeared in front of him, she didn’t give him the chance to even show that indifferent side to him. His feelings around her were different. More than flesh and blood.
”She is different. She is a part of her and I can simply not stay indifferent to her.” Feng Shufen said with his eyes holding the depth of Black Sea.
