Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Seeing the man getting so considerate and patient with her, Li Xue was about to accept her deep feelings for him. She was not blind or heartless. She too could feel the way he was treating her and her little princess like they were the biggest treasure of his life whom he has to protect and take care of.

But she also couldn't deny the hesitation of her heart that kept compelling her to ignore his efforts and feelings. However, seeing his eyes closed in disappointment, she no more wanted to control her heart. At the end, she realized that she could not see him like this in disappointment.

Deciding her thoughts and words, she was about to accept everything in front of him when suddenly she heard a soft sleepy voice from the stairway. "Mama! Daddy Angel!" That voice immediately tore both of them away from their thoughts as they quickly brought themselves to their composure.

"Here!" Feng Shufen said, pushing the last extra strand of hair back behind Li Xue's ears carefully. The woman was stumped at his care. Was it only needed for her to fix the appearance? Wasn't it needed for him too? After all, he was the one who has started everything.

She thought internally as she hurriedly combed her hair for good. But when her eyes fell on the man, she was stunned. How can this even happen? Does magic exist around? The man was all perfect, nothing on his appearance can give even the slightest hints of the things that had happened before. Something that was making her delusional, to think that if the events from before were even real or not?

Amazed with her own thoughts, she did not even realize when the sleepy head came near her and wrapped her arms around. "Mama, I want to have my ice cream now. Or it will meltdown in waste. Please Mama, can I have my ice cream now. It is crying in the refrigerator for me!" The little girl said drowsily, snapping her mother out from her stream of thoughts.

When Li Xue heard her daughter's slightly panicked voice from below, she quickly got down on her knees to coax her. Hearing her words, she already knew that her daughter has seen some dream which has made her like this.

"Sweetie! There is nothing such. You must be having some bad dreams. Your ice cream is all fine and under the care of your Daddy Angel. How can something happen to it? You are just sleepy. Let's go back home and Mama will help you sleep, okay?" Li Xue said, trying her best to cajole her daughter.

Rubbing her eyes out of sleepiness, the little girl shook her head in denial. "No Mama! I know the ice cream is in the care of Daddy Angel. But there is also an Ice Demon. Mama Fairy said that it will only be better if the little princess can have the ice cream on time or the Ice Demon would hurt both my ice cream and my Daddy Angel. Please, Mama, let me finish them on time"

The concern on her little angelic face was no lie. The world of little ones has always been different. Their way of taking and seeing things were all different; being an adult you can't see like them but could well understand how things are processing in their little head.

'This must definitely be because of the little drama and hateful words she has heard in the evening. Sigh! I should have sent her upstairs beforehand. That way her little brain would not have been forced to take things in the way, it had taken', Li Xue inferred internally as she lightly caressed her little head with all tender motherly care.

Feng Shufen, who was standing at the side could also guess the things. His hands got clenched hard when he realized what trauma had stricken the little one. Light of dreadful pitch darkness flashed in his eyes but it soon disappeared when he saw the little head turning towards him.

He too bent down on his one knees, under the gaze of the woman and then gently pulled his little piece to him. Holding her from her shoulders, he said all dotingly. "Fine, we will have ice creams as you want". Hearing her Daddy Angel agree, Little Li Wei's lips instantly curled upwards. But there were still hints of fear and sadness on her face.

Both Li Xue and Feng Shufen can see it. But there was nothing they could do at this moment. The harm has already been made to her little heart and they were not able to protect her. Though it was not major damage it still brought pain and fear to this little being.

Not thinking much, Feng Shufen gave a nod of understanding to Li Xue and then scooped the little angel into his arms to take her to the kitchen. The little girl always remains all ready to be in the arms of her Daddy Angel. Her arms automatically got wrapped around his neck, feeling the security his warm embrace was giving to her.

Then suddenly moving her little fingers through his hair, she said with a light giggle, "Hehe … Daddy Angel's hair is also as soft as Mama and me! We are truly a family. And Ice Demon will never be able to separate us". As she said, she gave another dear hug to him and the man took her inside the kitchen, with Li Xue following them from behind.

Placing her up at the counter, he looked at Li Xue. Understanding the help, the man was asking her, she went to the refrigerator and brought her daughter's favourite ice cream. "Here, you go baby. Daddy Angel has kept your favourites."

She said as she scooped one spoon of ice cream into her mouth. The girl happily took the spoon in as she felt the deliciousness melting inside her mouth. But for some reasons, she was not able to feel it. The smile that her lips give after having her favourite ice cream used to reach her eyes giving off a light of delight. But it was not the same this time.

"WeiWei, what happened? Do you not like the ice cream?" Feng Shufen asked when he caught the half-smile of the little girl from the side.
