Chapter 522 - Always Has A Comical Tale To Tell.
Pursing lips at her daughter's intelligence, Li Xue gave in to her demands but only for once. She has noted to find a solution for her daughter's logic before she could put forward any such demand again.
Lifting her up in the air, she first settled her on her children's high – rise chair at the dining table and then went to bring her the pancakes. Serving her two small sizes, she drizzled a little more hazelnut chocolate syrup over it and said, "Here, not any more of this since you have only grown 8 months more".
Little Li Wei giggled at her mother's pouted face. She knew her mother's plans for the next time already. How can she not know? If she was her Mama's daughter, her Mama was also her mother. They both knew each other equally.
"Hehe, Mama! Don't worry soon I will grow more bigger to get more chocolate syrup over my pancakes".
"You, little Devil! First, let me see you grow big then come and get it. Time doesn't fly that easily" Li Xue reasoned back to her daughter, the same way her daughter came to reason her.
Seeing her mother's face, the little girl only let out melodic laughter as she turned a little side to her mother. Then, leaning forward wrapped her arms around her waist, hugging her close to her heart content. "Thank you, Mama! WeiWei loves her Mama the most!"
The mother's eyes squinted down at her daughter first but then she cheered up. Her little devil was truly growing wittier and wittier with days. She was proudly satisfied with her growth.
Her fingers went to softly caress her hair. "Mama also loves her baby the most! Now come on, don't make your pancake wait any longer. Be quick to finish it fast!" she said, giving light pats of encouragement on her head.
Little WeiWei pulled her head a little back only to strain it a little to look at her mother from her little height. Her arms still wrapped around Li Xue while her chin rested on her mother's standing stature. Like that, she looked like a koala clung to her favourite tree, but it does not matter because she loves to be like that to her mother dearest.
Nodding her head, she lightly nudged her mother skin with her chin, making her smile in response and then said, "Yes, Mama! I need to finish this first, otherwise the pancakes will come to know the truth".
"Truth?" Li Xue was confused at her words. But she knew her daughter always has her own sweet tales to tell.
The girl nodded again. "Yes, Mama! The secret truth of WeiWei. They yet don't know it and if they come to know, they will cry. And Mama, you have said that we should never make anyone cry. Tears are valuable, right?"
The mother's brows instantly got raised at her little's word. Was she again trapping her using her own words?
Her eyes curiously turned to look at the old lady who was standing at the side, trying to find if she was the only slow-witted there to not understand her devilic – angel's trick or the others were the same. But seeing Sister Margaret's concentration all focused on her princess, she knew that she was not alone in the created confusion.
Looking back to her little one, she decided to be patient like always and said, "Yes, sweetie! One's tears are very valuable, so neither one should waste them, nor others should plan to make others cry. But what's WeiWei's secret that could make the pancakes cry?"
She asked, looking all curious to her daughter while the little girl only stared at her mother getting a little hesitant of her story. Her eyes shifted something to check on the plate, contemplating the things all perfectly in her favour. When found everything right and well, she turned again back to her mother, only to whisper in a light voice that was also fairly audible to all the other people around.
"Mama, WeiWei can't let the pancakes know that she loves Mama more than anyone else. That's why I needed to make them happy with some extra chocolate sauce. Now they will think I love them more and my secret will be safe. Otherwise knowing that WeiWei is closest to her Mama, they will feel bad and will cry a lot".
Li Xue was wordless. Though she had expected a comical tale like this, she still felt intrigued by her daughter's innocent thoughts. When the world never cared to look at the tears of their beloved people, she was even caring for the tears of her pancakes. Only if everyone could be the same as her, then the world would have been a better place to live.
Children do have the purest souls that's full of innocence!
"Okay, I understand it now. Now, don't make your pancake wait longer for you or your secret will definitely be out. Come on, finish this quick. Your Driver Uncle is already waiting to drop you at the school", Li Xue said, as she dipped down to her princess's forehead to peck her softly in adoration.
Li Wei at once smiled. Her mother's kisses were the softest and sweetest ones in the world. Definitely, even the sweetness of the pancakes could never match it. She gave a last nod to her mother's words and then quickly turned to complete her breakfast.
"Mama, today is the last day for our debate practice. Tomorrow, you and Daddy Angel have to come to the school to see WeiWei on the stage."
The mother nodded before saying, "Yes, yes! I remember it, sweetie!"
"My breakfast?" Suddenly Li Xue heard the man asked from the side. All this time, she knew that he was sitting there but had purposely ignored him for the better. But now, since he has asked her directly, she could no longer hold back to respond to him.
She turned her ambers to him, her eyes all sharp to let the man know her displeasure at an instant. "Your breakfast? Right! Hold on!" She said with some meaning and then turning around went away to get something.
Feng Shufen's eyes followed her movements, only to find her coming back with a bouquet and a gift box in hand.
Did something happen of which he was unaware of?
