Chapter 210 – Elixir Pill For Everyone’s Heart.
"Yi Lan, you were really cruel before. At least you should have taken consideration of her being a woman. Women should be treated softly right? We should know it better since we have been women all our life", Li Xue said, trying her best to crack a joke to make the tense air go light inside the car.
"Woman! My a*s! First, ask her to learn to be one then come and persuade me. Only beauty and some moderate assets don't make a human being liable to be called a woman. She must know to behave like one too. And for what reason are you defending her? Have you not heard her insulting words before? You better be relieved that I have not murdered her yet", Feng Yi Lan said with a low growl. She was still infuriated.
Li Xue could only shake her head. "Okay, I understood. Now can you get back sober in your mood? Or are you planning to scare my baby away? We are almost at her school. Come on, get back your cheerful smile. I like that expression better on your face. Sweeter and a lot charming than this dangerous one" She said once again.
"Hey, my munchkin is not only your baby. She is my baby too. And in no way I am going to scare her away. To her, I would always be her sweetest and the best aunt in this world, remember it!" She said and soon her lost bubbliness was back. Looking all fine and cheerful.
Seems like the little angel has been the best-suited elixir pill for everyone's heart as her effect never misses to touch people's souls. "So what's there?" Li Xue asked when she saw Feng Yi Lan getting better in her good mood.
"Huh? What?" Even knowing what her friend was asking her, Feng Yi Lan hesitated and tried to ignore it. Still trying to think if it would be better to state everything to her. Not like she was trying to hide it but it was like she was hesitating how she should begin it.
Li Xue understood this too. Giving a disappointed sigh, she said, "Ayee, how should I react to your ignorance now? I know things become difficult sometimes and people need time to decide on some things. But you know me right? I got a hell lot of patience and time reserved for you., so take it as much as you want. But better tell me everything before the day ends. I can rein my patience till then, I guess"
Feng Yi Lan had no words. She just could not find the capability in herself to calculate the density of the word 'a lot', which her friend used earlier to measure the patience and time she has reserved for her.
Sighing, she nodded her head in acceptance and then pulled the car up in the school's parking lot. "Okay, I will do that. For now, let's go and get our baby angel first. She must be waiting for us and I am so dying to meet her too." She said and both the ladies got out of the car to make their way inside the school.
Receiving the cheerful ball back, they soon made their way to the Little Carnations, with the little girl clinging on the arms of her aunt, and Li Xue driving. They have exchanged their position as Feng Yi Lan wanted to cuddle with her little chipmunk. "So Little princess, how was your day today? Enjoyed it?"
Little Li Wei nodded and agreed. "Huh hmm, it was fun today. During our class of extra-curricular activities, we were introduced to some of our best seniors from higher sections, who helped us with our lessons. Some of them also gave me candies, saying I am very cute!"
The woman's attention instantly perked up as she heard the girl mention something about senior boys. "Yes? Senior brothers are always good. But princess, tell me something. Were they nice because they gave you candies or because they complimented you as cute? Tell me honestly", She said as her eyes turned to look towards Li Xue teasingly. Understanding her hidden motive, Li Xue glared at her, giving a warning expression which said, 'better not corrupt my little innocent daughter with your shamelessness. For God's sake, she is still a child'.
To her warning, Feng Yi Lan simply shrugged her shoulders off. Then giving a devilish grin, she turned and asked Li Wei again. The little girl looked busy thinking something in her head. "So chipmunk, you did not reply to me yet. What did you like in your seniors? Their compliments or the candies they presented to you?"
"Umm … Aunt Yi Lan, I like them because they helped me learn a few new poems and some few new words. And about the candies, I did not accept them. It would have been bad manners to accept someone's gift without giving them anything in return and also I already had lots of candies in my bag for myself. And for the compliments, I like it better when Mama calls me her cute devilic – angel. Simply 'cute' was not that nice to hear"
The little girl explained, blinking her eyes in innocence. But those words left Feng Yi Lan speechless and made Li Xue laugh out loud. Her sweetie-pie knows to tackle every situation very well. "Huh? Mama, did I do something wrong? It was you who has told me to remain all sorted with the things I need and with the things I do not. I am just obeying you like a good child. Since I already had sufficient candies with me, there was no good in taking from others"
The little girl said, not understanding her Aunt pursing lips and her Mama's laughter. Did she do something wrong?
Li Xue shook her head. "No, no, honey! You are all right, just like my sweet baby. You did perfect! But from next time if something like that happens at school, be sure to tell Aunt Yi Lan about it. She always likes to know such boys and is interested to hear such stories. It might help her". She said maintaining a cool expression, but as she reached the end of her words, she burst out of laughter again.
This moment with the little girl brought them back lots of memories from their times in high school and universities. Some pleasant times that were still able to load satisfaction in their heart and smile on their lips.
All these feelings were still something that the little soul of Li Wei was unknown to. Not understanding any depths of her mother's word, she simply nodded and agreed, reverting her eyes to her sweet, beautiful Aunt.
"Don't worry, Aunt Yi Lan, I would always come and tell you if something like this happens again at the school" she said as she pulled her little arms up to pinch Feng Yi Lan's cheeks with love, same as an adult would have done to coax a kid.
Her little gestures were sweet but it made the lady pout more in childishness, making her whine, "You two mother-daughter pair is such a bully. You both just want to torture my poor soul. I am not going to talk to anyone now". As she completed her words, she just sealed her lips shut and then hugged the little girl's soft body more tighter in her embrace.
Seeing Feng Yi Lan going just opposite to her words, Li Wei giggled and said, "Hehe, my sweet little Aunt you are too sweet. Sweeter than my chocolate eclairs. And I love you so much!"
"Now don't trap me with those sweet words of yours. You are the same as your mother, pretty and tricky in your words. I won't talk."
"Haha … Aunt Yi Lan, of course, I will be like my mother, because I am her sweet little daughter. God created me to be like her, sweet and kind!", the little girl explained as a sweet smile of pride – contentment covered her lips. She loves it when someone calls her similar to her mother.
