Chapter 241 - A Neighbour Who Has Become Really Dear To Us.
Though Li Xue has never reciprocated to any of the boy's initiative back in high school or during her graduation days, she was not the one to distance herself from them just because of one reason. That will be called a narrow-minded personality and Li Xue was nowhere near to it.
Remembering the man in front of her was not difficult for her. She just needed to look back into her memory book of high school days and the identity of Su Fai will automatically come up the surface. How can she forget him?
He has been one of the best one in her class and a very good and helpful friend to her too. He can be called one of the members of their trio squad. Of course, she has to keep him in her memory. But was he here for the blind date?
Li Xue looked at Feng Yi Lan, asking if she was taking the things in the right way or were everything around was just a mere coincidence. But the confirmation from her friend made her realize that her thoughts were real.
On the other side, Li Wei's hold on her mother's hands got tightened as her eyes went gaze at the man with hostility. The air around her turned protective, the same as like some lion's cub, who was acting all protective for the treasure of their family in the absence of his or her father.
Su Fai was taken aback for a moment. He has heard from Yi Lan that Li Xue has a daughter with her and she is the cutest one in the world. No doubt that he agrees with her. This girl was really the cutest and as beautiful as her mother. But there seemed to be something different in her. Like she was opposing him before even giving him a chance.
Li Xue nodded, accepting the words of greeting from Su Fai as her eyes went to look at her daughter who was going a little out of her sweet character. "WeiWei, this is Uncle Su Fai. Mama and aunt Yi Lan's school friend. Won't you greet him?"
The little girl raised her head to look at her mother. Her eyes already showed how disappointed she was with this plan. There was a feeling of hurt in her eyes as if she was craving for a certain someone's presence around but that person was not anywhere near to give her the caress, she was asking for.
Children have always been like this. If they like someone, they will automatically get biased and stubborn towards them. And Li Xue knew the same was happening with her girl too. "Mama, can we not stay here longer? I need to get back home and have our desserts there".
The mother could only sigh at her daughter's words. Bending on her knees, she said all softly for only her daughter to hear. "WeiWei, don't panic! Your Daddy Angel is constant in our life. He will not be changing even if we have this dinner here. Aunt Yi Lan still does not know him, so she set this arrangement up. We can let her be down here, right? So let's finish this quick and go home back to your Daddy Angel, okay?"
She said making the little one understand.
Li Wei looked at her mother and then at her Aunt. She was upset with her Aunt Yi Lan but still in the end she loved her very much. She was the best Aunt in this world.
Giving a nod of affirmation to her mother, she turned to face the Uncle, who had suddenly come to meet them for this blind date.
Putting a smile on her face which was not reaching her eyes, she finally introduced herself. "Hello Uncle Su Fai!! I am Little Li Wei, my mother's sweet daughter and my Daddy angel's little princess. It's nice meeting you". As she finished her words, she gently bowed a little down in greeting.
Su Fai's eyes got a little confused. He turned to look at Li Xue in surprise and then towards Yi Lan's in askance. "Daddy Angel?"
"That … WeiWei has …", Li Xue initiated to explain the things clearly but got stubbornly interrupted by her friend, who was simply not leaving any opportunity for her to clear the misunderstanding out.
Smiling a little loudly, to suppress the words of Li Xue, Feng Yi Lan said, "Haha … it's nothing. Just a neighbour on whom our little chipmunk has taken a liking. Nothing else! You know how kids are. They get soft to the people who treat them better and this Daddy Angel of our WeiWei is little too special since he has impressed her to this extent". She said and then turned to her friend, asking her to confirm her words.
Li Xue shook her head internally as she stood back up to her height. Pinching the skin of the side of her forehead lightly, she nodded. "Yes, he is a neighbour, but has become a little too dear to us". She said as she looked down at her daughter, who was nodding her head profusely at her mother's words.
The woman has finally decided internally. 'Yes, Li Xue! This is just dinner. Get this completed fast and run off back to home. It's good that Mr Beelzebub is still unknown to all this arrangement. Or else she has no idea what next will be his move to this idea of Feng Yi Lan, especially when she has used his name to get all this prepared'. She thought and her eyes went to look pitifully at her friend.
Feng Yi Lan felt a little weird when felt that gaze of her friend but when she asked her about it, Li Xue simply shrugged her shoulders back.
Su Fai nodded in understanding Li Xue's words and then walking to the little girl he extended his hand out to shake with her, "Hello WeiWei! It's really nice meeting you"
Li Wei too held out her hand and then reciprocated the handshake with a smile. But added her words at the end, "Sorry Uncle Su Fai, but can you call me Li Wei? I only like my Mama and Daddy calling me WeiWei".
The man looked at her for some moment, then smiling at her, he nodded. "Sure! Li Wei is a beautiful name. It must be your mother's choice. I can call you that but only when you accept me as your friend. I would love to be a friend to such a sweet, beautiful princess. Can I?"
Su Fai has always known that it would be tough to get near Li Xue, even in the past and even now in the present. But he was more than willing to try it. Even if he gets rejected by her at the end of the day, he does not want to die with a regret that he has never been able to collect the courage to confront her with the confession.
If treating her daughter nicely and dearly can help him get her then there is no bad in learning new things.
"Hehe … sure Uncle Su Fai. You can be my friend too. Mama says that good people should always remain in one's friend book. And since you are both my Mama and Aunt's good friend, I can be assured that you are a good person to bring everyone a smile". Little li Wei said, looking at her Mama, with a smile.
Li Xue gave her a nod of assurance with a smile and then said. "Okay, now let's go and look for our table first"
"What table? I helped everyone book a private room here. That will help us talk in a better peaceful environment. Come, let's go!"
