Chapter 242 – Snatched Her Precious Doll.
Soon all the four people got themselves settled in the private room and food got ordered and served. Li Wei was not leaving the side of her mother even when Feng Yi Lan asked her to come and sit with her.
Simply shaking her head in denial she said, "Aunt Yi Lan, I can't leave my mother. Last time when I left her and was with you, she fell sick. So I will sit with my mother today. I will come to sit with you next time when I will have my Daddy Angel to take care of Mama"
"Hey! What's so great about you Daddy Angel, chipmunk? We are three people here. We can take care of your Mama together. This Uncle Su Fai is also great. He, himself, can single-handedly take care of your Mama. Why not trust him and see?"
Feng Yi Lan tried to convince the little girl. Seeing her so supportive of a stranger was making her feel unjust. Why was this little devil always choosing to support others instead of her? It was good and satisfactory when she chose Li Xue over her but now this stranger whom she called daddy Angel was getting her favours when she should be the one in her book … So unacceptable!
'I am surely going to smack the head of that bastard for snatching away the sweet favours of this little princess', she took the oath in her heart internally as she waited for the little one's reply.
Li Wei looked at all three people then tilting her head to the side to give some thought to it, she shook her head again in denial. Her denial only called a groan of irritation from Feng Yi Lan on which the other two adults tried to suppress their laughter. "Whyyyy, chipmunk? Why not?"
"Because he is not my Daddy Angel. I can't entrust my precious Mama to anyone except him", Li Wei replied innocently as she took a small sip of juice from her served glass. Finishing her words, she was so calm and composed that Yi Lan found no word to retaliate her reasoning.
Sighing in defeat she pulled her hands up as she put a piece of advice forward for the man, "Su Fai, I think you need to put a hundredfold of your efforts to win this little-put to your side. I can't help you anymore. I finally give up".
Soon a peal of laughter rang in the air, making it a little better from before. Su Fai got his eyes fixed at the woman, admiring her face and beauty that has remained unchanged even after so many years. She still looked different from the crowd.
Though she has tried her best to make her charms look as simple as possible, the difference in her aura still made her look beautifully unique. This was not something related to her charismatic beauty, rather in the aura she has built around herself. The aura of self-built confidence and power that made her look all differently attractive even in the midst of the crowd.
When Li Xue felt the gaze of the man linger on her face, she turned to look at him, suddenly taking him all off guard. Her amber eyes locked with his brown ones for a minutest second before the man pulled his gaze back from her, getting all unconfident in himself.
"So Su Fai … I thought that you and your family shifted to Germany. I never knew that you were back to the country. How are you? I mean all these years … haha, it's really been long", Li Xue initiated the talk. Although they have been very close friends once in history, she could not find herself getting comfortable with him now. It felt like time really changed everything in her and also around her.
The man nodded to reply to her as he stated, "Yes, my family has long shifted to Germany and are still living there. It's been only me, who has come back to the country". A smile got over his lips as she said that, like it was some type of confession he was doing to the woman, sitting in front of her.
Li Xue was about to ask him the reasons but before she could, the man clarified on his own. "I still had something unattended in this country. A dream that I wanted to fulfil so I have to return back."
As he reasoned his return, Yi Lan leaned a little forward on the table, pulling her hands up to hold her jaws and look at the man. "Dream? Mmm … hmm! Not a bad way of getting on the point. Quite good!"
She said, making his words go obvious to her friend's ears, but Li Xue decided the best to ignore it. "Whoa! That's good. Dreams should never remain unattained. You should go for it. But what is this dream? Must be something related to business. What are you doing these days?"
Su Fai chuckled. She was still effective in breaking hearts without leaving any sound behind. Feng Yi Lan too sighed in disappointment at the side but there was nothing she could do about it.
Nodding his head, the man agreed. "Yes, my dream is something related to the business. I think you can help me attain it, Li Xue. Only if you agree?"
Feng Yi Lan felt the firecrackers lighting up around, giving the signals of half victory. She never thought that the man whom she has taken so easy and lightly all this time will become so courageous and good with his words when he would come up for confessing his feelings to a woman. If not for Li Xue, she would have definitely claimed this man all for herself.
Her eyes expectantly turned to look at her friend but something else caught her attention. It was none other than the grey eyes of the little princess. It has unimaginably turned cold for her as if sending her small sharp needles to her as punishment. Her eyes seemed a little glassy but there were no hints of tears. Even if there was, the little one was already a master to hide it well.
"Hey, chipmunk are you mad at me? Why are you looking at me like I have snatched your precious doll?"
