Chapter 61 - Her smile was precious.
Outside, when Li Xue got on the cab, her heart was still thumping erratically. She could not believe that she had rejected Mr. Beelzebub's words in such a confident and fierce manner. It was not like she lacked confidence. No, she never lacked that in her life. But being like that in front of him was something she has never expected.
If anyone comes to know about her such courageous actions, then she will surely be kept in a museum to let the future generation know about her. The man was so formidable that no one has ever dared to raise their eyes in front of him but here she has been so audacious.
But was it her fault? No, she has just presented her wishes and opinions. How can she accept his words so easily when her own life was involved in it? She has her own principles and furthermore she was not any woman rather was a mother now. She can't be reckless.
Feng Shufen was not any man of the crowd. He was the pick of the litter. Not anyone can become his companion, less talk about someone who has got such a dark past. Though she has forgotten her past long before, that won't make her scandalous past disappear from her life. And that was the darkest spot on her character, something from which she would never be able to recover.
She was all drowned in her thoughts when suddenly the cab came to a halt. "Mam, we are at your destination", the cab driver reminded her when he found her all lost in her thoughts.
At the driver's words, Li Xue was snapped back. She looked up at him and then turned to the side. She was already in the front of 'Aurora', the fashion brand of her friend Feng Yi Lan. Looking at the studio now, Li Xue remembered how they have become friends. A beautiful smile got over her lips when she remembered that time.
Reverting her gaze back at the driver she handed him the tip, thanking him politely and got down the car. She was here to pick her little princess up. After a whole day of hard work the only thing she requires now was accompanying her daughter and cuddling her little piece for the whole night.
Remembering her devilic – angel, all her previous thoughts disappeared like they have never come to her head. Her steps got forwarded in towards the studio in excitement.
"Mamaa!" came the soft, cheerful voice greeted the moment Li Xue stepped inside. She has never expected that her little bundle of joy would have fixed her eyes at the door to welcome her.
Her lips curled up in an appreciative smile when she found the little girl already jumping her way towards her. The smile on her daughter's face was precious to her, something that can bring her energy back even after getting hell tired after the whole day's work.
Bending on her knees, she quickly picked her daughter up in her arms, "So how was your day? Enjoyed your day with Aunt Yi Lan?" She asked and her eyes looked around to find her friend.
Little Li Wei nodded her head in happiness and then said, "Yes Mama. I enjoyed it but …" she paused to wrap her little arms around her mother's neck and then continued, "I missed you more".
"Aye! little devil didn't you say that you were happy, moments before when I asked you. Then how did you miss your mother?" Feng Yi Lan said, squinting her accusing eyes at the little girl. She has heard the little voice calling Li Xue so she also came following behind.
Little Li Wei looked at her mother, then turned her eyes to look at her aunt. Giving a small thought she quickly said, "Aunt Yi Yan I have already said to Mama that I enjoyed my time here very much but I would have enjoyed it more if Mama would also be here to accompany us. Didn't more friends make the environment happier?"
The little girl's words might have looked simple and easy one but that was actually an intelligent trap led by her. She has sharply formed her words in such a way where her dear aunt can't point fingers at her. There was no doubt that she loves both the ladies but when her mother was involved in the talk, she can't help but be biased towards her.
"Oh is that so, then you are surely the right one", Feng Yi Lan found her words usual but looking at her friend smiling, she felt that there was something not right. Has she fallen in this little devil's trap?
"You little devil … you are deliberately picking up on me with your words skills. Go, go I won't be buying any chocolates, pastries or balloons now", she said putting up a hurt expression on her face.
"No, no, no Aunt Yi Lan, you are taking me wrong. I am just a little girl. How can I be a little devil? I am my mother's little angel. You took me wrong", Little Li Wei defended herself innocently. And in front of her such cute expressions, no one can identify black from white.
Feng Yi Lan looked at the little girl and sighed. On this whole earth only this little girl gives a hard time to her brain after her devil brother. Remembering her brother suddenly, she hmphed internally when suddenly her eyes fell over her friend.
As she looked, her eyes went wide. "This … this …", she quickly stepped forward and took her little chipmunk from her arms. "Baby … Aunt is a little confused, let me take a good look at your mother", she said as she placed Li Wei on the couch that was placed at the side for the comfort of the customers.
Li Xue was also dumbfounded at her reaction. "What are you looking at? Is there something wrong?" she asked but the woman didn't pay any heed to her words.
Feng Yi Lan was all busy with her thoughts. She examined her friend from top to bottom. Then circled around her several times in both clockwise and anticlockwise direction. The more she looked the more horrified she became.
There was no doubt her friend looked different. But her difference in look wasn't the thing that horrified her, rather it was the dress and accessory she was wearing. Wasn't this the dress and accessory something her brother's secretary has come to get in the morning. Why was her friend beautifully wrapped in it?
"This … This dress … Why are you wearing this? Weren't you wearing something else in the morning? Then why suddenly, you are in these?"? Feng Yi Lan could neither hide her confusion nor the horror.
