Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

Li Xue pressed her lips together while sitting obediently on the bed. Though there were no fingers on her lips, she looked like she was asked to put one by her teacher.

As she sat silently there, the little one was up on her knees on the bed, minutely inspecting the wound with her keen eyes. "Mama, don't be naughty now and tell WeiWei honestly. Is your wound still hurting?" She asked before looking down in the eyes of her mother.

Li Xue looked up as well and seemed to hesitate for a moment. But then keeping the word of the girl, she nodded honestly, bringing her finger up to show an inch on it. "It hurts but just a little bit. I am fine."

Little WeiWei stepped one step away from her before putting her hands over her hips. "Mama, why are you still half lying to WeiWei. The bandage is so big, how could it hurt less?" She said as her expression showed the severity of an adult.

Chen Rui, who has been standing at the side all the time, couldn't help but suppress a laughter seeing the little girl becoming a little grandma like that. It was amusing to find her on such a caring side. This was something that indeed baby girls do. Since she had a boy, she never got a chance to experience it. But now that she was witnessing it with her eyes, she just found it too cute to look away.

"Just the bandage is big, the wound isn't. Believe Mama, sweetie." In front of the little devil, Li Xue knew that she could never stand a chance with reasons. Still trying her best, she thought to try her luck. But the moment she said so, the little girl squinted her eyes and drew her face near her as if she could scare doing like that to her.

Li Xue almost wanted to laugh at her such thought, since she knew that pretty daughter of hers could never turn scary, no matter what she did. At times, she could get cold but definitely not scary to say. "Sweetie, Mama is being honest. Won't you believe her?"

"How could WeiWei believe that? Mama has been breaking her words these days." Little Li Wei hmphed and then turned to look away, folding her arms over her chest. Displeasure mixed with tears was written in her eyes. But since she has promised to not shed tears simply, she was trying her best to control it. "Mama is becoming naughty these days and WeiWei no longer knows how to discipline her. Shouldn't adults be more disciplined, Lǎolao?"

Not able to hold her worry for her mother for longer, the little girl turned to seek help from Chen Rui.

Chen Rui didn't have the heart to reject the little girl's emotion. So, siding with her the very moment, she agreed before wrapping her arms around her small figure. "Of course. Adults have more responsibilities, so they should be more disciplined."

"Then why do Mama is getting naughty these days?"

Chen Rui looked at Li Xue, giving a look of sympathy to her. In between daughter and granddaughter, it was normal to choose granddaughter instead. After all, oldies have always given more importance to the interest money than the principal amount. How could she be any different, especially when the granddaughter was so cute and the exact replica of the daughter?

Li Xue didn't understand that look of the queen at first. But when heard her next coming words, she no longer felt there could be doubt behind.

"Don't worry, WeiWei. Lǎolao will help you discipline your Mama. Will that be, okay?" Chen Rui said and Li Xue's lips pouted as she felt there was nothing she could say now.

Tugging her brows in perplexion, she turned to ask the queen with her eyes. Ma, are you taking revenge on me now? Wasn't I a precious daughter to you a few moments ago?

Chen Rui understood her gaze and forced a smile. Hugging Li Wei closer, she gestured to say in the same language that meant – You are the precious one dear, but someone is more precious than you.

Li Xue felt sweetly backstabbed like that. But there was no way she could complain. After all one was her mother and the other one was her daughter. Whom she should go to complain?

WeiWei turned to look back at her mother. Though there was a pout of complaint on her lips, in her grey eyes there were thoughts. Deep thoughts, as if she was contemplating something inside and was not yet sure. After giving much pondering, she finally said turning to cup the face of Chen Rui in her hands.

"Thank you, Lǎolao, for siding with WeiWei. But Mama doesn't need to be disciplined too much. It's good and lively to be naughty sometimes." She said before looking back at her mother.

Li Xue understood her thoughts. Reaching her ears, she pressed her lips. "Mama is sorry. Won't WeiWei forgive Mama now?" She said and in the next second the girl was in the arms of her mother wrapped all into her.

"Mama, don't be naughty like this next time. WeiWei doesn't like seeing you hurt. You know all the way here how worried I and Daddy Angel was?" She said and Li Xue felt the warmth of teardrops on her neck.

Her hands went to pat down the girl's back before calming her down with an apology. "Sorry, sweetie. Mama never wanted to scare you and your Daddy Angel. This was an accident." She said as slowly her gaze went to look at the door.

Where was he? From the moment, WeiWei has appeared here, he has not been around.

Since WeiWei has come here, she knew he must be around as well. But not finding him coming to her for a good time now was giving the hints of the typhoon that must be brewing somewhere beneath the belt of the Earth. After all, she didn't call him to be Mr. Beelzebub for no reason. With her involvement in a scenario like this, he could get to the worst of his side of possessiveness, revenge and what more.

She still remembers him saying to her once – He was not a person with forgiving nature? Though those words revealed a dark side of him to her, it also gave the shiver down her spines.
