Chapter 22 – Would Make The Best Soft Toy In The Whole World.
Feng Yi Lan's eyes went wide when she heard Li Xue reveal such news to her. She looked at the little girl and by one look she already felt a kind of familiarity with her.
A type of familiarity on which she couldn't put her fingers. The little girl was very beautiful and adorable, suiting the title of being the daughter of the beauty like Li Xue. But to her surprise, not a single facial feature of the girl was matching with the woman. On the contrary to that she was looking more like someone else's splitting image.
The more she looked at those similar pairs of grey eyes, the more she felt her thoughts getting firm. Apart from the same grey eyes, the girl also resembles his other features. The only difference that was clear was the difference in their aura. The girl has taken the aura of her mother. Sweet, fragrant and air full of warmth.
Li Wei was also looking at the woman's confused look. She thought about something, then said with all chubby looks and shiny eyes, "Hello Aunt Yi Lan. I am Li Wei, daughter of my mother. It's really nice to meet you". Saying her words, she smiled and then gave a polite bow to her.
Feng Yi Lan was still in her thoughts but the moment she heard her soft, sweet voice, she couldn't control herself anymore. She quickly bent down and swept the girl in her embrace with one easy lift. She was really small and light as cotton. When lifted in her arms, she really felt that this little girl could really make the best soft toy in this whole world.
"You evil soul, you had a daughter but you hid her from me. Did you read my mind before knowing that I would steal her away from you? Literally she is so soft and good to hold. I must really steal her away", Feng Yi Lan said, softly nudging her face more and more with the little Li Wei's soft velvety cheeks.
Li Xue looked at her and smiled. She knew the emotions her friend was showing weren't fake. She was genuinely happy to meet her again and also the love she was showing for her daughter was true.
This is what they call having a family. Someone who is genuine around you with their feelings. The little girl let out a loud giggle when she felt ticklish. "Ahh! Aunt Yi Lan, your soft nose is tickling me. Hahaha … it is tickling Mama, save your angel. Please!"
"Okay! Fine I won't tickle you. But don't ask your mother to save you from me. It hurts me. If you say like that then how would I steal you away, my little chipmunk", Feng Yi Lan said tapping the tip of the little girl's nose.
"You don't have to steal me. I can always meet you when you want", Li Wei said as she dearly clung to her newly found Aunt's neck. "Or you can even come and stay with us. Our new home is really big. There are three big bedrooms, you can stay in one and I will stay with Mama in another room. That will be so good"
"Really? That will be good but why won't you stay with me in my room? Don't you like me?" Feng Yi Lan asked, narrowing her eyes suspiciously on the little girl.
"Umm I can't leave my Mama alone. She has only me with her and might get scared at night", the little girl said becoming so serious all of a sudden and that specific expression jolted the woman from within. Those serious eyes were so similar to the one she knows.
Shaken by her own thoughts, she looked at Li Xue asking her something.
Not understanding her unsaid words, Li Xue said, "It seems like Li Wei has taken a liking for you. That's why she is still in your embrace, or else she never clung to anyone other than me"
At her mother's words, the little girl nodded her head and said with a smile, "Of course, I like Aunt Yi Lan. She brought a smile on Mama's face unlike the two other classmates who have been so different to her. They even made Mama upset in the morning".
The little girl has seen her mother's expression before and has also compared it with the expression she had when she met Feng Yi Lan. And she was quite smart to notice the difference. She has always known her mother's true smile and has also seen her mother's upset smile.
To the little angel, the person who can make her mother smile will be the good person and the person who can make her upset will be the bad one. With that reason she found her new Aunt Yi Lan to be good, because around her, Li Xue was smiling cheerfully.
When Feng Yi Lan heard the girl mention the two people, she looked to her friend to know about whom she was talking about.
Li Xue looked at her daughter and said with a slight strict tone, "Li Wei, what I told you earlier? You shouldn't disrespect your elders" and then turned to look at her friend to answer her stare, "It's nothing like my devilic – angle mentioned. Those people can't affect my mood anymore."
"Who are they?" Yi Lan asked in a rigid tone. She would not act careless this time. Anything that will trouble her friend or make her upset, she will personally deal with them.
"Zheng Wenting and Wen Sying. But really their words can't affect me anymore. Believe me" she tried to explain but no relief was seen on Feng Yi Lan's face. The only thing that was emitting through her expression was the ruthlessness, an intent to bury someone deep into their graves, without caring about the remaining amount of breaths they have left in their lives.
"Hey! Are you going to think about those people instead of me? I thought you missed me but look at you, thinking about the people who don't matter in our lives", she tried to distract her from that topic because somehow those expressions were giving her chills. She has always known her protective instincts.
"They better stay away from you this time or I would never care before destroying their lives" she declared in a very promising tone.
"Okay fine I won't stop you when the time comes but for now we can forget them" Li Xue added, shrugging her shoulders back and then she took Li Wei from her arms and put her down on her feet.
"Hey! Why did you put her down? I love her in my arms" she said and then again tried to bend down to lift her but Li Xue stopped her, "Don't keep her in the air every time. She should know to walk on the floor. Right, Li Wei?"
The little girl would never deny her mother's word, so she nodded her head profusely. "Yes, yes Mama is right. I should know how to walk or how would I participate and win sports competitions in my new school?"
Her words made both the woman laugh and nod to her in response.
