Chapter 143 - Let her live in the lie a little longer.
Walking hand in hands, the adorable family of three soon came out of the school premises. The little girl's eyes were still shining with happiness. When they were close enough to their car, Little Li Wei gently un-gripped the hands from her elders and leapt sideways to wrap herself tight to the waist of her mother.
Though she was still a little small to reach her mother's waist height, looking at her being a little koala around the woman was simply making the scene become sweeter than anyone could have imagined. The gratefulness and love behind that soft hug were all evident in the air. Li Xue can feel it but still, she was confused behind the reason that brought such a love attack from her princess.
"Li Wei … Sweetie!! What is it? Anything you want to tell Mama?" she asked, not understanding the reason behind her sudden act out of blue.
Feng Shufen also looked at the scene and couldn't help but agree inside his heart 'All angelic like her mother!' Though he had a certain inkling of the reason behind it, still he focused to maintain a poker face at the scene. Not wanting to ruin the feeling of the unexpected surprises he was getting one after the another.
The little girl threw her head back, arching her eyes up to look at her mother. Her lips forming a cheerful curl and eyes giving the shine of thousands of meteors showering inside. Just a look at her pretty face and one would not be able to control their heart from getting stuffed with kawaiiness.
Looking at her daughter being so adorable to her own eyes, Li Xue could not control her own lips from smiling as her eyes asked her daughter to give the reason she has been asked for.
"Mama, thank you for gifting Handsome Angel to be my daddy. I love you so much. You know me the best. And I know God has given me the best!" the little girl said with all honesty filled in her voice. But her words made Li Xue stiffened as her eyes went to check on the man's expressions, trying to give him evidence that she was also new to this information.
Feng Shufen did not say anything rather kept his expressions nonchalant like he had found nothing wrong or unusual at the scene. Not getting any signal of help from the man, Li Xue thought to solve the issue on its own.
'What's so tough in it? She is my daughter and I can ask her anything. Maybe she has mistaken any facts to take her handsome Angel as her father. Being her mother, I have a responsibility to clear her doubts' She muttered to herself as she bent down on her knees to get equal to the little girl's height.
"Baby, he was your Handsome Angel, right? Then how did he become your Handsome Daddy Angel? Did anyone say anything regarding it?" Li Xue asked, being all soft and patient with her words. Though she knew her last question was unnecessary since her daughter was not someone to believe other's words before confirming the facts herself.
At her mother's words, the little girl's smile deepened as she said with a giggle. "Hehe Mama, I know that you wanted to surprise to me but as always I have been smart enough to know everything on my own, without you telling me". Revealing her words, the girl pulled her backpack to her front to take something out.
When she found the thing she was searching for, she smiled at her mother and then looked at her handsome Angel. "Tada … Mama, look what my class teacher gave me today. It's my student card and has all the information about me. And in here, it also has my father's name. The same name by which Uncle Cutiee has called Handsome Angel yesterday. So am I not a smart one like my mother?" She said and then plastering the unique adorable smile she turned to present it to her Handsome Angel.
Seeing the little one so happy, Li Xue had no heart to break her sweet fantasy world but somehow she felt that by letting her live in this lie she would be doing something unfair to her. But at the same time, her heart was urging her to let her be like this a little while longer.
Sensing her dilemma of hesitation and righteousness in her, Feng Shufen's brows furrowed on its own. Was accepting the soon to become the truth that hard for her? Why was she so hesitant in accepting her heart when she also knows that there was definitely something between them that they cannot see but feel'.
Soon Li Xue decided her way to let her little understanding of things. But before she could open her mouth to say anything the man at the side snatched away from her chance. Bending himself a little down he scooped the little up in his arms and said in a little fluffy tone.
"Come, let's go and get in the car first and tell me about how much you liked your Mama's surprise. Am I good to become your father or was I best being only your Handsome Angel?" He asked not to give any chance to the woman to ruin his most desired dream.
Li Xue was all speechless at the intentional interruption of the man. And those words … Wasn't the confusion created with the student card wasn't enough that he has added his pinch of confirmation to it? Now how is she going to make her daughter understand the things? She had no idea.
She looked at the pair walking ahead leaving her behind with quick steps as if the man was scared of something to be revealed which he does not want to. Looking at him doing something this childish was a rare sight which was almost very difficult to find. Her stomach let out a giggle without even notifying her about it.
She only realized it when she saw the man halting his steps and turning back to look at her. She quickly pulled her slightly curled lips into a straight line to hide her smile and become all serious.
"Shall we go now? You need to see the doctor too and get your health checked once", he said plainly, pursing his lips to make his tone sound more serious.
