Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Coming out of the palace, Li Xue once again checked the time on her watch. Planning the schedule for herself, she requested, "Mr. Driver, first drive me to the school. We will pick WeiWei up as it is already time. Then later drive me to the company. I still have things to do there." 

She said and nodding to her obediently, Du Fan pulled the door open for her. "Sure, Madam. Please get in." He said before helping her inside the car and then moving to climb on the driver seat. 

Soon driving the way, Li Xue reached Li Wei's school. Entering the premises, she was first to put on the mask before getting off the car. "You can wait here, Mr. Driver. I will get her by myself." She said before walking all gracefully in the direction. 

Though her walk was enough to garner everyone's attention, the mask on her face was not revealing much of her identity. People were looking at her but none among them had the knowledge to guess who she was. 

Reaching the classroom, she stood out of the door before giving a polite call to the teacher who was disciplining the students inside, "Good afternoon, teacher. I hope I am not too early here." She said, realizing well that even though the classes were over, the students were still not released. 

The teacher turned to look in the direction of the voice and smiled, gently shaking her head in a good attitude. Then walking up to her, she said, "Nope. But can I ask you for which student are you actually here?" 

"For Li Wei." Li Xue instantly answered, before looking inside in the search of her daughter. But inside the classroom, she was nowhere in the sight. 

The teacher smiled, "Oh, you are Li Wei's mother. Sorry, Mrs. Feng, you have to wait. Li Wei has gone out to the principal's office. She would be coming back soon." 

Li Xue nodded as her eyes grew a bit small to scan around other students in the class. With glittery eyes, everyone was curiously looking at her, but the one who caught her attention was a girl whom WeiWei has last introduced to her as Xiao Fei. She was sending her the best smiles. 

"Teacher, can I ask who comes to pick Xiao Fei? Are her parents will also be coming to take her back or have they appointed someone else to take care of her?" She asked, giving a smile of reciprocation to the girl before turning to look at the teacher. 

"Ah, about her, I can't be sure. Sometimes it's her mother coming up to take her back but sometimes it's her driver. There is no fixed schedule for her. Is there something?" 

The teacher asked and Li Xue shook her head, denying. "Nope, nothing serious. I have heard a lot about her from WeiWei. So wanted to meet her parents. If it's possible,can you ask them their number for me? Soon it would be WeiWei's birthday and I want to invite her friends to play and enjoy with her." 

Li Xue reasoned. Though she has reasoned it that way, actually she really wanted WeiWei to have some fun at home. There were so many animals in the forest with which she plays at home but in the midst of all that, she doesn't want her baby to lose her sociable life with her friends.

  The teacher nodded, "Sure, Mrs. Feng. Today if her mother comes, I will let her know about you and also about your thoughts. If she is good with it, later I will forward her number to you. You can then talk to her yourself." She said being under the code of proper conduct and professionalism.

Li Xue smiled and nodded, then turned to look around. But the moment she turned; a small figure dashed into her. And voluntarily, her lips moved to apologize all gently, "I am sorry. Are you fine? Did you get hurt?" 

She asked as her brows scrunched together in concern, looking at the little figure dressed in a student blazer. 

"I am fine, Mrs. Feng. It was my fault to dash into you like this earlier." An innocent, but very clear and curt voice was introduced, making Li Xue's brows rise up high in startlement. 

She looked down more, trying her best to look at the little guy's face. But his downed head was just not giving her the opportunity. So, getting onto her knees first, she asked, "Do you know me?" 

And at the time, for the first, the little guy lifted up his head to shake in denial, "Nope, I just heard Teacher calling you with that title." He said as his golden-brown eyes matched all confidently with Li Xue's.

Li Xue's lips curled up as her eyes caught the bright face of the boy. His fair face and unique facial curvature were enough to tell that he was not a Chiboan and was somewhere out from the country of Chiboa. "Oh, it's that way. With your confidence, I almost thought that we knew each other." 

She said as her hands unknowingly moved to check on his forehead to see if he is alright or, did he get any hurt from their earlier crash. But before she could reach him, the boy stepped back as if avoiding any touch from strangers. Li Xue understood. Knowing children, she well knew that sometimes kids are different and resistant to touches. So, smiling, she ignored and asked, switching to another topic, "By the way, what's your name?" 

The little guy looked quite young and just a look at his height and face, Li Xue could tell that he is just a few years older than WeiWei. Was he in the same class as her?

"My name is Avron. I am an exchange student here. It's nice to meet you, Mrs. Feng." The little guy replied and his name instantly piqued Li Xue's interest. Her eyes turned to look at the teacher on the side before returning back to ask the boy. 

"Avron! That's quite a good unique name. Can you tell me more about it?"

The little guy didn't say anything at once but then checking the time on his wrist, he quickly replied, "My name is unique because it's the combination of both of my parents' names. Ava and Aaron." He said and Li Xue smiled. The way the little one talked was so melodic to hear. Though it was not like what she hears from her little one, still she could say this boy's voice and attitude has their own charms. 

"Ohh, I see. It's quite a good name." She reciprocated and with a slight hurry, the little guy nodded, as if he was saying that he already knew how good and unique name he has. Li Xue looked at the little guy and the urgency was not hard to read. So, she asked with gentleness, "Do you have somewhere to reach? You look a little in hurry?" Then her eyes moved to look at the distance where the boy was looking. 

Avron nodded, "Yes, I have a basketball match with my friends. I need to reach there before it's too late." He said and the seriousness was all written over his face. 

And seeing him serious like that, Li Xue was also turned a bit serious to say, "If it's that way, why are you still here. You should go first and attend your match."

The little guy shook his head. "But you have not yet accepted my apology." He said and his words sounded something that Li Xue failed to understand. 

"Your apology?" She asked, tugging her brows in confusion to which the little guy explained with a nod. 

"My father has taught me to always be a gentleman. Since I have hurt you earlier, I can't leave without hearing you accept my apology."

He said and Li Xue was all dumbfounded with his words. He was so young, yet his talks were so mature and thoughtful. "Ah, I almost missed that. I am sorry for keeping you here like this. I am fine; you can go to your match first. Best of luck for it." She said and nodding to her words, the little guy at once bowed his head to her first, then to the teacher before sprinting away.
