Chapter 219 – My Soul Leaps To Become Something I Am Not.
After donning the princess – headband braiding to her little princess, the mother-daughter pair was all ready to leave. Li Wei was looking no less than her mother. If Li Xue was defining the peak of the beauty, then the little one was explaining the meaning of what cuteness and adorableness meant in the heavenly world.
Dressed in black above knee length lace frock, Li Wei was looking like a moulding from the same clay as her mother. Not identically but more because of her expressions, smiles and the way she was carrying herself. Gracefully!
"So, now where to, baby?" Li Xue asked, still confused about the place they were going after getting so much ready.
"Wait, Mama! There is still something left" Little Li Wei said, pausing her mother as she quickly scrambled her legs back towards the drawer of their bedside table. Then walking back to her Mama she gestured to her to bend on her knees so that she could do what she had thought of.
Li Xue complied but not before commenting on her daughter's actions. "Baby, you are seeming suspicious today. What is it now?"
Little Li Wei did not say anything but wrapped a thin silk scarf around her mother's eyes to keep her away from looking. "Mama, since it is a surprise, I can let you see anything until we reach there. Let me be your eyes and guide you the way".
Li Xue was confused. Were they going somewhere near? She wanted to ask but her baby was already pulling her towards somewhere she has no idea of. She couldn't see anything but she could feel the directions they were moving to. Leaving the bedroom, soon they were in the living hall and after that, Li Xue could feel cold air striking her, making her know that they were already out of there house.
"Li Wei, we are already out of the house. At least let me lock the house properly since we won't be at home. We can't let any stranger get inside our place, right?".
"Mama, don't worry! I have done that for you and have also checked it. It is already locked now only your key could open it". Since the door was having an auto-lock system, it got closed once the little girl pulled it shut.
Then pulling her mother the way to somewhere she announced, "Mama, we are already here. In the front, you have three steps, count with me!" She said and then guided Li Xue up the steps, towards some wall that had some beautiful textures. Li Xue could feel it through her hands.
"Baby this is?" she asked, only to be shushed by her baby again. "Shhh! Mama, wait for a few more seconds. We are already there!"
For a moment Li Xue felt like she had been in some fictional private detective story where she was accompanying Sherlock Holmes on some mission. She was getting impatient to know what was the end of the tunnel but then again a little more patience won't hurt anyone and would also make her baby happy.
Suddenly something struck her when she felt some butterflies fluttering inside her stomach. Her free arm instantly reached to brace her stomach as if she could stop that sudden feeling inside if she tried. It was the same feeling she gets whenever she was near Mr Beelzebub.
She was still calculating things when suddenly the wall or door, about which she was not sure of, opened and a warm homely air hit her. The feeling of getting back to home touched her heart.
Her suspicions started to take shape and got soon confirmed when she heard the light whisper of her cute, devilic princess. "Daddy Angel! We are here". It was a slight whisper but still, Li Xue managed to catch the keyword 'Daddy Angel' from it.
Before she could ask anything, she felt cold fingers near her ear. She would have flinched from that sudden touch but it was so soft, tender and comfortable feeling that nothing foreign in it struck her. Then she realized that the fingers were just making efforts to untie the scarf from behind.
When done, Li Xue opened her eyes and as she had guessed from those whispers of her daughter, Mr Beelzebub was standing in front of her, giving off his charms to its fullest. Dressed in a grey custom-fit suit with black dress shirt inside and a beautiful plain brooch at the side, Feng Shufen was carrying air chivalry around him. But one look and she can see that his courtesy has been reserved for only them.
His grey eyes locking with her amber ones, conveying many things that were unheard to the people's ears. For a moment, a beautiful musical silence got into the air giving a rhythm to their heartbeats and feelings.
"This?" she asked looking between both at the man and her daughter.
"Mama, that's the surprise. Daddy angel has prepared a perfect dinner date for three of us today" the little girl chimed in happiness. The beautiful brightness around was making the room look more beautiful. Finding his little piece still standing on her feet and straining her neck up, Shufen bent down slightly, only to pick her up in his arms.
Li Xue too felt like complimenting when she saw how much effort on decoration was made around. The lights were dimmed but there was no dullness in the ambience. Her eyes went back to look at the man as she asked, not believing something. "Did you prepare all this? I never thought you were the person to do something of this sort."
"Your thoughts are right. I have never been a person to do all this. But with you, I think my whole soul leaps to become something I am not" The man shot his words making the woman speechless. Did this man have to flirt every time they start a conversation? Can't their talks be sweet and simple? But she liked him more and more like this now.
The little angel was also in her high spirits. The lights around were filling her with joy. "Daddy Angel, it's looking so beautiful!" she complimented and pecked softly on the man's cheeks and then added, "Can we now move to the dinner table. I can smell the deliciousness of Daddy Angel's cooking in the air and it's getting a little hard to control jumping of mice inside my stomach". As she said she rubbed her hand over her tummy lightly, showing that she was getting a little hungry.
Though Feng Shufen's smile was rare; but with this little girl around, it has become something often in his schedule. Nodding his head, he soon took them to the table. First, he helped the little girl onto the chair, then moved to make Li Xue comfortable in her seat.
"Whoa!! There is so much. Mama, isn't my Daddy Angel the best?"
Li Xue nodded and then said in agreement, with an appreciative smile on her lips, "Yes, Yes, indeed he is!"
When it was harmony at one side of the city, someone else was already paining with the troubles around.
"Wenting, I don't know what happened but I am simply not getting any chance to meet them. You have to help me now", Sying said as she wrapped her arms around the man's waist, making him hug her body close to his. "Darling, you know right? I can't miss this chance. I need that endorsement contract. It can boost my modelling career to new heights". She added again, looking up at the man's face.
"Sying, don't be crazy! You know I can't do anything about it. You have to understand that. I am still trying to stabilize myself in the industry. I can't risk it all for just a stupid endorsement deal", Zheng Wenting said with a tone of irritation laced in his voice.
