Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

Completing the dinner, Li Xue went to take a warm bath to drain out all her exhaustion in the bathroom. When she came out, she was wrapped in her bathrobe while her hair was dripping wet which she was drying off with the towel.

She looked around as her eyes paused to look at the little bump on her bed. It seemed like someone had just put a heap of clothes under the blanket. Her brows raised in amusement as she already knew who was actually there inside. Curling her lips on a corner, she put the towel aside before walking toward the bed with her hands on her back.

"Aiyoo! After such a long time our little ghost has come to meet me again. What? Again, fighting in darkness for light?" She said, not forgetting the last time when the same play was pulled in front of her eyes.

The little body rose to stand on the bed as she shook her head in denial. "No, no, Mama. Now you again got it wrong. I am not the little ghost; I am the little angel who has now learned to find the light in the darkness" She said and Li Xue's smile grew deeper at her words.

"Really? I am impressed. How did you get to learn it so soon? I thought you might still be struggling in the darkness." She said, leaning slightly down to the girl's height at the edge of the bed.

And the next moment, WeiWei threw away the blanket, revealing herself with a big smile. "That's because this little devilic angel got the best Mama fairy to teach the secrets. With her teachings, it became all easy." The little girl said before leaping to hug her mother in her arms.  "Thank you, Fairy Mama, for teaching me this."

Li Xue chuckled. "Fairy Mama? Sweetie, from where did you get all these names? Do you have any dictionary for that?"

"That comes from my heart, mama. I call you with the name my heart asks me to. And right now, I felt like calling you Fairy Mama, so I did." She said pulling back to smile again while shaking her head.

"You little one … you really have got a glib tongue." Li Xue said shaking her head but in return, the girl was ready to defend herself. But before she could do so, the mother was quick enough to get to the real point. Cutting off the previous topic, she quickly asked, "Anyway, it's already this late. Why is your little head popping up in my room?"

The little girl unwrapped her arms from her mother's neck and stepped back until she was out of the reach of Li Xue. "Mama, you will have WeiWei's head popping up for the whole night here because today she is going to sleep with you."

Li Xue shook her head but along with her Little WeiWei nodded. "Hehe … Mama, WeiWei won't be going today. She would be sleeping here with you, cuddling in your arms. No matter how you say, she won't leave."

She said and Li Xue was about to say something more shaking her head when suddenly she heard her phone ringing on the bedside table. Turning to look at her daughter, she quickly said while walking to get her phone. "Sweetie, if you want you can sleep here. But note that no matter how many praises you sing for me today, I won't be telling you any bedtime story."

The little girl smiled, nodding, "It's okay, Mama. WeiWei knows that you are exhausted and sleepy today. So, for a night, just your cuddles would do." She said as she returned back to lie on the bed, hugging the pillow tight to her.

"Fine then, wait for me, I will be quick to dress up and come back." She said as receiving the call, she walked to the closet to get herself changed into a nightdress. "Ma, you called me this late. Is everything fine? Have You Jun left home again?"

"Oh no, dear, I haven't called for that. I am just calling you to inform you that tomorrow at any time, your dress will be delivered. Try it well once for you have to come all prepared the day after tomorrow."

"Mhm, Ma. Don't worry. I will see everything properly. The moment Butler Cao delivers it to me, I will try and check. If it would need any alteration, I would ask someone to do it for me." She said and from the other side, Chen Rui quickly interjected to say.

"It won't be Mr. Cao bringing it rather it would be coming straight from the store."

Li Xue frowned. "Did you tell her my address?" She asked, remembering that the place they had been living in was very remote and not everyone knew about it.

Chen Rui denied it. "Nope, she knew already. Don't worry, she would find it on her own." She said and on her say like that, Li Xue's tugged her brows in seriousness.

Was that woman so capable?

"Ma, are you sure?" She asked. For a moment, not believing that it could be that easy.

Chen Rui chuckled on the other side of the call as she said, "Xiao Xue, I may not be sure of other things but I can never doubt the capabilities of that one woman. She could do much more than what we can think. As for finding your place. Believe me, she must already have your address."

She said and Li Xue didn't say more. Humming to her, she reassured her of being prepared before disconnecting the call. Once done, she went to change while her thoughts kept wandering around the bush that hid the actuality of the woman.

And also, the sense of familiarity that she was feeling for her. No matter how absurd she was calling that feeling, it was only getting stronger in her thoughts as if she was very near to discovering it but missing it again and again by a small fraction. What was it actually?

Having her occupied in her own thoughts, she soon slid open the door of the closet and came out in the room. And the moment she did, an enthusiastic voice of her daughter pulled her out from her trance.

"Mama, are you ready. Come fast. WeiWei is ready to drive you to the dreamland that would be full of all-night warm hugs and cuddles." Little Li Wei said as she pulled the blanket away slightly, asking her mother to get in as though it was not the bed but a car with which she was going to give a ride.

Li Xue looked at her like that and couldn't help but smile. At the moment, seeing her baby waiting for her on the bed, she no longer wanted to think about anything. So, pushing her every thought away, she decided to enjoy the moment she got with her princess.

"Okay then, make some space. Mama fairy is coming down to enjoy the interesting ride to dreamland which would undoubtedly be full of warm hugs and whole night cuddles." She said before swinging her to get on the bed and tickling her little one to laughter.
