Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Though Li Xue never showed any stressful expression on her face for the past weeks, she was really holding everything well inside. That's the reason why it didn't take her much time to drift into a good afternoon sleep the moment she laid on the bed, making her expressions go ease in the next moment. 

It was only when Li Xue felt her soft locks of hair getting brushed again and again over her neck region, she realized it was time for her to wake up and there was also someone beside her. 

A slight curl appeared on her lips as she gave a contented smile before asking in an extreme tender tone. "Does my Little princess love to play with her Mama's hair this much?"

She asked and then slowly opened her eyes to look down at her little one who had dearly tucked herself into her mother's arms on her own. Her face was holding the innocence that could even blow away the devil's heart, Li Xue was still her mother who gave her the birth. How could she escape from her sweetie's sweetest trap?

"Mm-hm! Mama's hair is the softest in the world and never gets tangled among themselves, so WeiWei always loved to play with it. And it is also so long and brown like chocolate." Little Li Wei replied, blinking her eyes adorably at her mother. But then as if remembering something important in between her words, she cut her words short to ask all considerably but anxiousness was all written over her face, "Mama, did WeiWei disturb you in sleep?"

Li Xue looked at her like this and no longer knew how to answer. Though she has woken up with her presence by her side, still her presence was something she could never complain about. Shaking her head in denial, she brushed away the little fringes that came upon the little one's eyes. 

"How could my naughty yet sensible little devil disturb her Mama? That's simply not possible because mama knows WeiWei always cares for her the most. She would never do something that would trouble me. Isn't it?" She asked tenderly, enjoying her alone time with her daughter. These days she was hardly getting the time to spend with her and to be truly honest, she was missing it very badly more than her sleep. 

The little girl cheerfully smiled and nodded to her mother's words. "Yes, WeiWei would never bring any trouble for Mama because WeiWei loves her the most. And Mama's says that if you love someone, you never annoy them". 

"True! That's why I call my baby so intelligent. She never forgets to follow my words. Now come here, give me a fluff ball hug of yours. I need to boost my energy after the whole day's work". 

Little Li Wei did not need to be told twice when it comes to 'giving her hug to mother'. Quickly detangling herself from her Mama's arms, she straightened herself on her knees before chiming in the happy tone and again leaning down to wrap her little arms around her mother. "Here, WeiWei brings a power booster hug for her dearest Mama!"

Li Xue smiled at her lovable act, before cherishing the moment. "My little princess's power hug is the best. I like it so much."

"Mm-hm! Same as Mama!" the little one happily added and the mother only smiled more at her words while nodding in agreement. 

After some time when both had enough sharing of love, the little girl pulled herself back from her mother, still lying over her stomach and looking at Li Xue's face with longingness. 

Li Xue looked at her that way and patiently waited to hear her. She knew with that expression her devil would definitely have something in her mind to speak on. And as expected, soon she saw her little hands moving to carefully hold her face. 

"Mama says that when it comes to showing your love and gratitude, we should never delay it for tomorrow. That's why …" She paused in between her words before bending down to peck Li Xue's cheek and then continue, "WeiWei will always tell her Mama how much she loves her and also thank her for choosing her from the child fair God held in Heaven."

"…" For a moment, Li Xue paused in her thoughts hearing her words. Her eyes tearing up at her love. The words were simple but the meaning that it held behind was something that she has always longed for since her childhood. A family member who loves and cares genuinely and truly. And it seems like after a thick bundle of darkness, she has finally gotten gifted from the stars.

Blinking away the accumulated tears from her eyes, she pulled her lips in a smile, before asking for a confirmation, even though it was not necessary. "Really? Are you sure it's me who chose you and not the other way round?"

Little Li Wei paused to think more, before shaking her head. "Yes, Mama! I am sure that it's you who chose me as your child. And I chose you as my mother." She said with a serious expression and Li Xue could not help but again become wordless at her daughter's wittiness. 

"Okay I understand. But now tell me when did you return from your school. Did you even have your lunch?" From the moment she woke up, Li Xue has not seen the time on the clock. With her little fluff ball, she was habituated to forget about the time. It was only now she remembered it to ask. 

On her mother's question, Li Wei suppressed a chuckle and Li Xue eyed her with confusion. "WeiWei, did I ask something wrong? Why are you suppressing a chuckle?" 

"Hehe … Mama, it's already evening and we have long completed our lunch. And WeiWei has also completed all her homework from school before coming to Mama." The little one replied and it was then when Li Xue turned to look at the clock. It was already six and time for Mr. Beelzebub's return. How did she sleep this long? Maybe she was really tired enough to forget about the track of time. 

But her thoughts suddenly halted as she turned to look back at her daughter. "We? Is your Daddy Angel already home, Sweetie?" 

Li Wei smiled and nodded. "Yes, Mama! Earlier Daddy Angel came to pick me up from the school and we returned home together. He was working here on the couch when you were sleeping". 

Li Xue at once sat up to look at the couch. It was empty at the moment. "Then?"

"Then Daddy Angel had a video conference to attend. He asked me to look after you in sleep, so that you didn't get disturbed. He said you were working hard for the whole week and before, so you need a good sleep." Being the cool and detailed messenger of her Daddy Angel, Little Li Wei said it all. 

And at that explanation, the woman could not help but smile. She was dumb to think that she was good to hide her true emotions internally when Mr. Beelzebub has always been all known about her thoughts and struggles.
