Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

"Who has the audacity to go against the orders of my little munchkin?" Qi Shuai at once went to pamper the little one. And following his cue, Feng Yi Lan also gestured to zip her lips.

As for Feng Shufen, WeiWei had her umpteenth faith in him. So, just a plain nod from him was enough.

Seeing them doting on her like that, Li Xue couldn't help but smile. Shaking her head at them, Li Xue reached WeiWei by her arms. Then turning her back to herself. She pulled her gently in front of her and spoke, "Sweetie, don't worry. It's just three questions. Do you think your Mama will ever refuse your questions?"

The little body pursed her lips at her mother but then shook her head. "No, Mama. I don't doubt you but at the same time I don't want anyone to help you."

Li Xue smiled. "Fine, sweetie. I understand what you want. Don't worry, I won't ask anyone's help. It's just you and me. Will that be okay?"

Little Li Wei's head bobbed in a nod. "Perfectly okay, Mama."

"Then ask, sweetie." Li Xue gestured, raising her chi up to her and the little one blinked in agreement.

"Mama, did it really hurt badly when that bad aunty stabbed you?"

Li Xue's expression paused at that moment. She knew her daughter would never forget it. Having a good memory has its advantages but it also has its disadvantages. And she knew the good memory of her princess would not let her move out from the trauma.

Nodding her head in agreement, Li Xue accepted, "The knife was sharp, sweetie. It pained me at that time but I am fine now. It got all healed. Now, just a small scar is left."

Little Li Wei's brows furrowed in worry while her little eyes went to stare down at her mother's stomach. Li Xue followed her gaze and understood what she was looking at. Smiling slightly at her princess's warm concern, she took her little hands and then made her touch the side of the stomach where Zhang Xiaotong had stabbed earlier.ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ ɴo(v)elFɪre.net

"See, it's fine now. If it was hurting, wouldn't your touch might have made me wince?"

Li Xue tried to convince but still scared of hurting her mother, WeiWei at once pulled her hand. "Mama, I might hurt you."

"No, no, sweetie. You will never. Furthermore, the injury has long healed. There is nothing that would make the pain recur." She said but the little one still looked all reluctant to believe it, so Li Xue no longer forced her. "It's okay, sweetie. Leave about the injury. I answered your first question. Won't you ask me the second question?"

It took some time but soon, WeiWei got to the next one. Looking back at her mother, she asked with a skeptical tone, "Mama, why did you hide your injury from me that day? Didn't you promise me that you will never keep any secrets from me, until those are your surprises for me?"

Li Xue pressed her lips together. How would she have known that while making the promise? At that time, it was just her and her baby. A simple life with no psycho enemy. Never had she ever thought that someday she would have to break her promise to her dearest.

Li Xue thought for a moment, before she took both of her little hands into hers. Kissing them together, she said, "I am sorry, sweetie. Mama never wanted to break the promise to you. But that situation was different. I didn't want to see you scared. So, I didn't tell you. Also, at that time since we were on the run, Mama barely felt any pain."

She said but before she could even completely complete her say, WeiWei shook her head and denied. Li Xue didn't understand and paused her words for her. To which the little one quickly opened her empty hand in Li Xue's front. "Mama, WeiWei will forgive you for breaking the previous promise. But you have to make a serious promise this time which you will never break."

Little Li Wei paused but then again continued, "Mama, Promise WeiWei that you will never hide your pain and secrets from now on. Even if it seems to be the tiniest pain to you, WeiWei will decide its intensity. Okay?"

She asked and Li Xue pursed her lips. She doesn't want to promise that, knowing that the future is uncertain. But at the same time, she knew that her daughter would not be compromising even a bit. So, in the end, she nodded and put her hands into hers and promised, "Fine, I promise I will never hide my pain from you. The moment you will ask me, I will tell you everything."

She said and then, pouting her lips out, she asked again, "Is that okay, now?"

And in response to that question, WeiWei at once lunged forward to embrace her mother by her neck. "Mama, please never leave WeiWei again. Do you know how scared WeiWei has gotten?"

Li Xue's heart at once got torn at her words. While her arms got wrapped around hers, she started patting her back for comfort. Her eyes brimmed with tears as shaking her head, she said, "Mama is never going to leave you, sweetie. Never ever. I promise."

She said and even though the little one believed the words of her mother every time, this time she was too scared.  So, hugging a little longer, she let her Mama's scent waft into her nose. That fragrance made her believe that finally her Mama was back to her in the original, real form.

Li Xue kept on patting her back while embracing her. Her eyes matched every other person in the room and she was not surprised to find that almost everyone was on the brink of tears. While Feng Yi Lan was crying, she also held a curve of happiness on her lips for them.

When Li Xue felt that the little one was a bit better, she thought to deviate her mind. So, changing her tone in one of that of cherriness, she said, "Now that you have gotten your promise, did you forget about the third question? Are you going to provide me with a concession?"
