Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Li Xue pressed her lips together at her confusion. She knew some things were too hard for children's understanding but at the same time were important for them to understand. "Umm … How about you tell me the question, then we will decide if it requires an answer or an understanding?"  She said, raising brows of askance at her daughter. 

Little Li Wei also stared back at her mother. Her eyes, busy contemplating the offer Li Xue has given to her. After giving it a thought for quite some moment she agreed before saying, "Mama, could I also go to learn piano with Xiao Fei? She said it is fun creating a piece of music every day". 

The little girl asked and Li Xue looked at her, not giving her an answer instantly. "Were you thinking of this all the way? Searching for an answer for this question?"

WeiWei nodded. "Mhmm … today after our classes were over, Xiao Fei was telling how in the evening she goes out to learn piano and how good it feels. She even asked me to come so that we can learn and enjoy together." The little one explained everything very seriously as if her words were no fun topic to talk about, rather was something that would decide her future. 

Li Xue looked at her like that and could not help but suppress a chuckle. It was fun to look at her baby with such seriousness. 

"Mama, should I go and learn it or not?" Little Li Wei probed the question again and the mother gave a suspicious hum to her words. 

"Umm … let me see sweetheart. Do you remember what I said moments before you told me your running thoughts?" Li Xue asked to which WeiWei didn't take time to respond. 

"Mama, you said there are some questions that require understanding instead of an answer. Does this question also fall in that category?" the little girl asked as her eyes blinked innocently at her mother. 

Li Xue's hands moved to caress her little's head before nodding. "Yes, it needs your understanding sweetie. The question is not– if you could also learn piano with your friend or not. The actual question is– if you want to learn piano or not. So, tell me, do you want to learn piano?" She asked, slowly moving her hand to pinch her cheeks adorably. 

WeiWei was lost in that question. Her lips went tight in thought as she said, "I like spending time with Xiao Fei, Mama. She is my good friend and we always share our books and lunchboxes at school". 

Knowing her daughter better than anyone one in the world, Li Xue knew where her princess's thoughts were traveling to. "WeiWei, do you have tough home-works today?" She asked, suddenly changing the subject. 

The little girl shook her head. "Nope, Mama. Since our class teacher was absent today, we got less work to do at home."

"That's great. We can spend some time together then", Li Xue rejoiced before turning to order the driver. "Mr. Driver, could you please take the turn to Clay-lore villa club?" 

The driver paused but then nodded at once before taking the turn in the other direction. 

WeiWei looked at the new road and then at her mother. "Mama, where are we going?" 

Li Xue didn't reveal the surprise, instead mysteriously winked at her. "To the place where Mama loved to spend her time when she was in her college days. Do you not want to come with me?" 

At once, the little girl's eyes shone like stars in the sky as she nodded her head profusely. "WeiWei would love to go everywhere her Mama goes. But where are we going, Mama?"

Li Xue smiled then pinched her cheeks, she said. "That will be a surprise. Come on, let's see the way and guess where we are heading to".

While on the other side, Zhen Qinrou was racking her brains out thinking whether Zhang Xiaotong even met Feng Shufen or not. And if she met, how did things go. She hoped internally for some magic to happen that would change the things overnight in her favor. 

"Have you checked, if not the restaurant where did Feng Shufen go?" She asked the moment her call got connected to the other side. 

"Ma'am, it was a risk to follow the car so we didn't. But through some of our sources it came out that President Feng has gone to attend the celebration party of the Taylors." The person from the other side informed, which only made the woman frown in response. 

"Has gone to attend the celebration party? Are you sure?" She asked doubtfully, understanding how weird it sounded. But who would believe? Feng Shufen has never cared to visit parties like this. It was even rare for him to show up. 

"Yes, Ma'am. That's sure information. Though the pictures and videos are all removed from the internet, there has been a moment when the live video of the event was trending. So almost everyone knows that he has visited the party". 

Zhen Qinrou halted. For some time no words came but the phone call remained online. "And what about the girl from Zhang family? Was she also present at that party?" She asked, crossing her fingers, wishing that the girl had enough brain to not miss the opportunity. 

"Yes, Ma'am! Ms. Zhang Xiaotong has also been present there. She has been added as a special guest in the list of the Taylors". 

Zhen Qinrou sighed in relief and was about to say something when heard the beeps of an incoming call request from another number. Finding that the number was of no other than Zhang Xiaotong, she cut her words off to be quick. 

"That's good. Keep your eyes on them and let me know if new signs of progress are made. Also, wait for my calls, instead of calling me on your will." She said before disconnecting the call in the next instant. 

Things were not working according to her but there was still something that was indicating a hope of light to her. Just a little more of her brains and maybe she would be successful in the near time.
