Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 121 - Li Xue, you were really cruel!

Li Xue got herself busy with her stuff soon after her tears dried off. She was not a woman to waste her time on her own tears and emotions. Even though she thought that she would not be thinking about Feng Shufen and focus on her work she can't help but feel guilty for the way she behaved with him.

"Li Xue, you were so cruel. He has always been so nice to you yet today you behaved like that with him. You should not regret if he gives you a cold shoulder from now on because you badly deserve it", she muttered to herself while adjusting the same cushion on the sofa for the twelfth time in a row. "Ughh!! Girl, where is your mind? Giving perfection to an already perfect work will not help you complete it in any more good" she chided herself, punching her frustration out on the cushion she was arranging.

She was in such a state; the only person that was coming in her mind who could help her out in such situation was Feng Yi Lan. She thought of calling her but then again remembered that because of her Mr. Beelzebub, she was in a special scenario. A special situation where she could not share the secrets which are not so secret with her best friend.

Realizing her helplessness, she threw her head back and slumped down on the sofa. She still had half an hour to waste in her hand but this half hour seemed long as hell. Her phone beeped with a text message. When she looked, it was from Yi Lan. "I have dropped a little chipmunk to school and she was not late rather a little early. Please don't be mad at me, I really wasn't able to resist the temptation of keeping her with me".

Reading the excuse her friend had sent her, the woman shook her head and replied back. She was about to reply back to her but at this moment the doorbell rang, making Li Xue halt her fingers. Her eyes instantly got filled with hope and lips curled up in delight when presumed a particular person's arrival.

Springing up from her seat, she hastily walked to the door to confirm her hopes of heart. But the moment she opened the door, her expressions got still, as it was not as she had expected. "Sister Margaret!" she greeted politely, a smile still playing over her lips. Anyone could say that it was nothing but just a formal smile, not the contented one coming from her heart.

The middle aged lady smiled as she looked at the woman all fine and back to normal. "Ahh! How are you, child?" she asked. Her voice laced with concern, while her eyes still moved from her top to bottom to confirm her proper health.

Hearing her such warm concerned tone, Li Xue could not help but feel a slight feeling of motherly love from her, maybe because she has never received any such love in her life; even not from her own mother.

"I am all fine now, Sister Margaret! Please don't worry", she said to ease the lines of concern, she can visibly see over the lady's forehead.

The woman smiled in understanding and then reached out her hands to hold Li Xue's in a comforting manner. "I am really happy that you are fine now. Yesterday, seeing you in such a state almost gave me a heart attack. You are already a strong mother; you need to make yourself stronger physically too; or else who do you think will take care of your little one?" She said, the same way a mother would advise her daughter.

Li Xue also nodded at her words and assured her, "I know I will keep that in mind from now onwards. But I really need to thank you for yesterday. Thanks for taking care of me". Her gratefulness was sincere that instantly reached the woman's heart but she sighed in disappointment.

"Sigh! I so wanted to accompany you yesterday but the Young Master did not allow us. He took care of you all by himself, only asked my help to change your dress; other than that he allowed us nothing. He did not even return home to take rest last night". Sister Margaret added.

"…", This story made Li Xue feel warm in her heart but at the same time it also gave rise to the guilt she already had deep inside her heart. The man did so much for her yet she said all those cruel words to him.

"And today when he returned, he did not even have his breakfast and left for his work. He looked a little upset. Though the people around him can't spot any change in his mood thinking that he is always cold and strict, I have seen him grow from the age of twelve. I can say that these days, he is not as cold as he was before especially when he is around you and the little girl. I can say that he likes to stay around you two, maybe because of that little or some other reasons which I don't know", the old woman said. Her aged eyes showed the sentiments of her heart.

"Ahh! Li Wei has her charms. Back in our town, it has always been like this. She would always impress people wherever she goes", the mother boasted of her little charms but at the same time she has no words to say except for those. She never knew that things were already becoming so visible to the people around.

"Oh I forgot, I was here to ask you if you would want me to prepare lunch for you? You have just recovered and I won't want you to burn yourself in the kitchen", Sister Margaret said looking all dearly to the girl who has unknowingly created a soft spot in her heart.

"No, no it's okay and I am all fine and will be leaving soon for the restaurant. Today is my scheduled joining date. I can't miss it. Thank you for asking though" she said and gently bend forward to give her a grateful hug.

"Ayee! You are going to work today? You were so weak and unconscious yesterday; it won't be good to stress yourself out. Take a rest. I can ask the Young master to help you with the leave. I am sure after seeing you like that yesterday, he won't reject the idea of you resting at home", the old lady said, feeling a little pity for her.

Saying this the lady was about to turn and leave when Li Xue halted her in a haste manner. "No, no please don't. It won't be a right thing to do and furthermore I will be more happy if I will be surrounded by my work and people. Living at home with no work bores me off".

Her words were not that impressive but still ruled over the old lady. Soon Li Xue left to officially begin her story in the Jingling city.
