Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

"Mama, are we not celebrating the New Year at home? Are we going out to celebrate it? Where are we going to celebrate it? Is it a surprise for me?" Little Li Wei hopped and jumped, asking her mother. Her eyes shining with glimmers of excitement while looking out of the window. 

But to all her questions, Li Xue could only purse her lips. The more the man was getting secretive with her, the more she was unable to answer the questions around her. She couldn't understand if the man was deliberately doing it on purpose to keep her thinking of him like this every second. She thought internally as her eyes moved on their own to look at the man sitting along with them in the car.

"Mama?" When saw now response coming from her mother, the little girl called again, slowly tugging on her mother's sleeves. 

Feeling the slight pull on her dress, Li Xue turned her attention back to her princess. "Baby, how many times have I told you that you should not jump like this when the car is on the run. You might fall and get hurt. Come and sit here first". She said, pulling up her little to make her sit back on the seat, under her arms. 

"But Mama, Daddy Angel says, Uncle DuDu has good driving skills and with him driving, he will not let me get hurt." Though accepted her mother's concern, the little girl still not failed to counter her words with her understanding. After all, she never forgets the words her Mama and Daddy Angel tell her. 

As she said, her little eyes wandered to look at the front at Du Fan to confirm. "Am I not right, Uncle DuDu?" 

Du Fan, who was driving at the front, has not failed to hear the words of the little one behind. Hearing her trust in him has already moved his heart, so he didn't hesitate in reconfirming her words. "Of course, li'l young miss! I will always drive you around safely".

Little Li Wei smiled. "See, Mama, I told you. Uncle DuDu is the best." She said, reverting her gaze to her mother but paused when saw her Mama pulling her lips in a thin straight line. "What happened, Mama? Did I say something wrong?" 

"WeiWei, safety is different for different people. I never doubted the skills of your Uncle DuDu. He will definitely take care of you with his best but even if he does that, you should still not forget to look after yourself. Did you get that?" Li Xue said, making sure to keep her tone slightly strict to make little one understand the seriousness of her words. 

Li WeiWei's eyes blinked at her mother for some time as she waited to see if her mother was really getting angry with her. When she didn't see her serious expression wavering a bit, she quickly turned to coax her mother for good. 

Taking her face in between her palms, she said, "Mama, don't be mad. It's already the last day of the year and WeiWei promise, she will behave the next time and will also remain cautious. Please smile now. Your smile is the prettiest in the world". She cajoled and to her sweet gestures, Li Xue could no longer ignore. 

Giving a sleek smile, she pinched her cheeks. "You better follow your words later and don't make me repeat my words again, okay?"

Little Li WeiWei nodded. "En. WeiWei will never break her promise to Mama! But Mama, now will you tell me where we are going?"

Li Xue pressed her lips together as her eyes went back to stare at the man who was staring at them all the time in silence. "For that sweetie, I think you should seek your Daddy Angel. Because everything today is his plan. Apart from him, no one knows what he is up to." She said, as she accusingly squinted her eyes at him. 

Feng Shufen's eyes didn't show any change in expression. As if he hasn't heard any accusation in the words of the woman. "You will know once we get there."

"Daddy Angel, is it a New Year surprise for us?" The little girl blinked as she turned to look at her father. She has already guessed the air of surprise from the words of the two people. 

The man nodded. "Mhm." And like an obedient daughter to her father, the little girl also didn't probe further. 

"Mama, Daddy Angel has prepared a surprise for us, so we should not ruin it. We will wait and see when we reach there, okay?" Instead, the little one turned to explain her mother. 

Was she ruining it?

Li Xue could only afford to be speechless at the situation. The ride began to proceed in silence when suddenly a ringtone from the phone interrupted it. Casually pulling out the phone, Li Xue checked only to find the familiar caller id on the screen. "It's CEO Zheng calling." 

"…" Feng Shufen's eyes followed to look at her phone as well, slightly flashing with hostility.

"It's New Year's Eve, let me receive it and see. Maybe he has got to tell me the venue of his engagement" Li Xue said indifferently, before moving her fingers to receive the call. She has yet to know the date of their engagement. 

"Hello! Good morning, CEO Zheng!" She greeted, receiving the call. "Are you calling to invite me to your engagement? I heard Mrs. Li saying that you and Ms. Wen will be getting engaged someday around the New year."

"…" The line went silent for a good moment, as Li Xue heard nothing except the suffocated breathing of the man. 

Her brows tugged into confusion. As far as she remembers the man was not asthmatic then why was he suddenly behaving like he was one?

While she was confused on one side, on the other side the expression on Feng Shufen was turning slightly darker and unreadable. For once a girl's EQ could not understand men's emotions, but a man will never fail to see through another man's intention. Even a slight change in breathing could also reveal the secrets.
