Chapter 164 – Uncle Cutiee, I Need Your Help!
The little girl's wits were already enough to outwit everyone around. Not only her face, even her words and intelligence were adorable to people's eyes. Without any doubt, it can be said that in future she would become a beauty with brains.
After Li Wei has handled Qi Shuai all skillfully, everyone has finally taken their seats on the dining table. The air was full of serene silence flavoured with the aroma of deliciousness, mixed with various feelings. Every heart was feeling differently. Someone was shocked, while others were disheartened.
Ryan's eyes were fixed in the direction of the man, who has never cared for her feelings or she could say has never ever cared to spare even a glance at her. When she has always wished to remain by his side, he has only felt right to push her away, giving her a cold shoulder. She has never complained about his behaviour as she has always taken his cold attitude to be his nature. But now seeing him all gentle and caring, she felt like she had been betrayed by him.
"Shufen! You can have your food. Li Wei and I can manage on our own. The dinner has already reached its end and you have barely taken something", Li Xue said from the side, when she could not handle the deep gazes of the two people around.
"It's okay. I am already full. You two haven't had anything yet. I am just helping you two classify good things to eat", Feng Shufen said defending his actions and placing yet another broccoli on the top of her rice bowl.
Classify good things to eat! Like really! His words can be understandable if used for Li Wei but for her … Was she a kid who won't know what's good to eat and what's not?
Mr Beelzebub, can you please not torture everyone around. Just move your eyes to look; your own nephew is unable to digest his food, your friend is too pained to see your ignorance for him and Ms Kim's eyes have not left you even for the minutest second. Do you think I will be able to enjoy the food in between such gazes? Please spare me. I can't take it anymore.
She thought internally as her eyes once again moved to look at the people around and sighed. Li Wei was all good. To her, everything looked all fine and normal. But when she saw her mother sighing, she also followed her gaze and looked at everyone. Moving her chopsticks to lift another piece of tofu to her lips, she tilted her head a little to give some thought.
Then looking at her mother, she smiled. 'Mama, don't worry. I have your back. I will help you out', she said in her heart and then again turned to look at her Uncle Cutiee. Among the three people, he was the only one she was most familiar with and was sitting next to.
"Uncle Cutiee! Why are you sad again? Did you not like the meatballs? Here I can pick one for you" the little girl said as she initiated her words and placed a meatball on his plate. Qi Shuai looked at her doubtfully. After getting tricked by her before, he can't just take her adorable words lightly. She was a little devil, who should not be taken easily.
Leaning a little to her, he asked, whispering in her ears, "Hey, munchkin! Tell me honestly, are you tricking me again? If you want to trick, you can trick me a thousand times alone but in front of so many people, don't make your uncle embarrassed. It will affect my beauty and I would never be able to bring you an Aunt. You want one right?"
"Huh!" The little girl looked all innocently at him, blinking her eyes for a moment and then said, "But Uncle I already have an Aunt and she is really good to me. Do you want me to bring another one?" Their words were all in whispers, no one could hear it but when they saw them talking they felt like they were discussing something really important and urgent.
Qi Shuai nodded his head and asked again, "Yes, yes, I will bring you another beautiful aunt. But for that, I need to save my face from embarrassment. So tell me honestly that with this meatball, are you again playing tricks with me?"
Hearing his blaming words, Li Wei instantly shook her head in denial. Her clear eyes vouching for her honest intentions. "No, no, Uncle Cutiee. These meatballs are my care and love for you, Believe me. I just …". Getting confirmed with her words, Qi Shuai could not resist the temptation of his favourite meatballs anymore. Even before the little girl could complete saying her words, he picked his chopsticks to make a go.
Swiftly using his chopsticks, he gobbled the whole round ball at once. "Ummm these are really delicious. I must say" He hummed, savouring its deliciousness wholeheartedly but before he could reach to the end taste of it, Li Wei added her remaining words. "Uncle Cutiee, I still need your help. You can enjoy this meatball taste first and then help me. I can wait".
With only those words the delicious taste was all gone. His eyes looked at her, trying to blame her being heartless to him, same as her Handsome Angel, now her father. But he knew he can't blame her. It was just his IQ's fault that he couldn't match or see her ways and tricks.
"Fine tell me, with what should I help you. Since I have already taken the bribe amount, I need to fulfil your demands" he started confidently but ended his words with sobs. Looking at him, Li Wei smiled, pursing her lips. "Hehe … Uncle Cutiee … it's nothing. I just want you to make everyone eat. Daddy angel has prepared so much but no one is eating. I am feeling bad for his efforts."
Qi Shuai squinted his eyes at her and asked suspiciously, not believing her motive "Are you sure you only want that? You won't blast another bomb at the end right?" Li Wei instantly nodded her head, "Yes, I just want everyone to have their fill of food. I really don't lie"
"Hmm Okay then, that's easy. I will help you" Qi Shuai said doubtfully, looking at the four people on the table.
'O, Lord! You have again given your kid a great work to do! Am I not your precious one? Why do you always love to give me such challenges?'
