Chapter 212 - In The End, Mr Beelzebub Will Hunt Her Down.
Li Xue has almost forgotten this issue. Letting Feng Yi Lan know about her and Mr Beelzebub was not a problem, since sooner or later she would have to tell her but it may become a mess if not brought up properly and carefully.
Her lips curled to give an awkward smile when she got to face the sharp, piercing expression on her friend's face. It was clearly screaming to her, 'my dearest, you better not keep any secret from me, or else later don't blame me from murdering you mercilessly after knowing it'.
"Haha … that … I …", Li Xue was still thinking, how to form the words in the best way to bring the minimal damage at the scene when suddenly her little explosive of excitement burst out once again in her most cheerful tone.
"Oops … I am sorry, Aunt Yi Lan! It was not Mama's fault but mine. I should have shared it with you as Daddy Angel was the gift for me and I should be one to share about him with you" Little Li Wei said in her own innocent tone. Of course, she has seen her Aunt's fierce expression and also her mother's awkward smile moments before.
Though she has not understood those, she could still make out that her mother needed her help so to provide her support, she thought to take the blame on her own little shoulders. Hearing the little's words, Yi Lan's brows arched even more but this time she no longer cared to look at her friend for the answers.
The explanation would be better and more honest one if it came out from the mouth of this little princess. No doubt, she would be upset with Li Xue if come to know that she has been kept in the dark but she would be more than happy if she finds her friend really moving on in her life.
Only she knows in her heart, how badly she wanted Li Xue to get ahead and believe in love and relationship once again. Because she knows well how hard it was to bring up a child all alone.
No, it was not because the mother seems to get weak in this society, in comparison to a father. No, not at all! Li Xue was not weak, neither was any other single mother.
But it was more like she wanted Li Xue to finally find someone's emotional support. She wanted her to let go that cheap trash Zheng Wenting with all her memories and finally put her beliefs on someone who is much more capable and suitable for her than that bastard.
If not for Li Xue's own efforts, then she has already planned to make some efforts for her dear friend from her side. Plans were already made in her head on the very first day she had met Li Xue back after 5 years, now it was just waiting to get the green light from this little princess's next coming words.
"Gift?" Yi Lan asked with some confusion.
Li Xue's breath got choked for a moment when she heard her daughter. Without any say, she knew that her little sweetie was just trying to help her out. She wanted to hug her little body for being so thoughtful for her.
A soft warmth spread through her heart instantly as her eyes became slightly teary when realized the thoughts of Li Wei behind her actions, almost forgetting the reality of the situation.
But soon she was snapped back when heard the cherry voice of her daughter again. "Aunt Yi Lan, last time didn't you ask me if I wanted a daddy in my life or not. And I have said that I don't want him until my Mama decides to gift me one" the little girl said as she paused, to make Feng Yi Lan remember their conversation from before.
When got the confirmation nod from her in remembrance, Li Wei continued again, "Mama, finally gifted me one. She made my Handsome Angel become my Daddy Angel. I am so happy with her choice" As she completed her words, her little grey eyes shined like stars making the woman forget her thoughts for a moment. There was no dubiety that her little chipmunk was too happy getting that stranger man with another title.
But then again, there was some confusion that remained unstated in her words. Her eyes went back to stare Li Xue as she asked, "So any special explanations for all this?" her words were sealed with some dangerous tease which almost made Li Xue freak out. In the rush to cover the things, she shook her head and blurted out, "Nope, no special explanations! It is just as it is stated!"
"Sure?" Feng Yi Lan evilly asked for confirmation and Li Xue nodded her head once again, sealing her words, giving a confirmation tag to it.
"Fine! That's great then. I think, I should not delay the things anymore", Yi Lan mumbled but it was loud enough to let Li Xue hear it out all nicely and clearly. "I hope you will be all prepared for the coming weekend now. Last time I had to call off that fun because my brother created that mess but this time, the evening won't be budged".
Hearing those promising words from her friend, Li Xue suddenly felt a cold shiver run down her spine. "Hey! What stunt are you trying to pull now? Don't scare me. I am not coming anywhere with you. Your expressions are giving me an evil intent". She said as she rubbed both her palm over her arms to provide herself with some warmth from the chills of fear she was feeling from her Feng Yi Lan.
"Too late, dear! Because now I am not giving you an option" she said, taking a pause, slowly, getting up from her seat and taking her challenging steps towards Li Xue. "I have already confirmed your appearance on my own and now you have to just accompany me in the evening. Did you get that?" she added her words reaching to hold Li Xue chin up in her grasp, making her look into her eyes.
Of course, she has caught her friend lying. How can she not? After all their friendship was not a fake one where she couldn't even look through her hesitation. But she won't be going outright with her. She has her ways to make the things reveal on their own. And that definitely would be fun.
Their posture at this moment looked no less than any seductive pose of a hunter and its prey! Li Xue could feel it too. She felt like she will be getting hunted soon. But that instinct was not as easy as it seemed.
Her instinct was saying, though the trap was led by someone else, still, at the end it would be Mr Beelzebub, hunting her down as everyone knows that Devil has got his own ways!
