Feng Yi Lan couldn't believe. Wasn't her friend always an angel? When did she become like this?
"Li Xue, you ..." Feng Yi Lan was about to curse Li Xue for that but at that moment paused feeling the tug on her clothes. She looked down and found that Li Wei was already there to seek her assurance.
"Aunt Yi Lan, will I really be the elder sister to the baby in your tummy?" She asked and even though Feng Yi Lan didn't want to get into that topic, given the question the little one had asked, she couldn't reject it.
Nodding, she answered, "Of course, dear. You will be the elder sister and you can guide my baby however you want. If you feel she has done something wrong, you can even punish her. No one will ever say a word to you. You have my word."
She said and WeiWei smiled. "Mama says love teaches better than punishments. WeiWei will always be loving to her brothers and sisters." She said before looking back at her mother, "Right, Mama?"
Li Xue nodded to her. And then the little one turned to look back at Feng Yi Lan with a smile.
Feng Yi Lan also smiled, thinking that was the end to the story but just when she thought that, WeiWei asked will all bubbliness she had, "That means you promise me a baby sister, Aunt Yi Lan?"
"I ... I promised? When?"
Feng Yi Lan was confused but WeiWei nodded with confidence. "Mhm-hm. Aunty Yi Lan just said that I will be an elder sister to your baby. Since I got a baby brother already, what I need is a baby sister."
"But I ..." Feng Yi Lan wanted to say that she was scammed but that would be too cruel words to a little girl like WeiWei. That too in the presence of her brother, so she restrained herself and calculated her words before speaking. "Hey, you tricked me into promising that, isn't it?"
"WeiWei is a good girl. She doesn't trick people. It's just that Daddy Angel say that some people are accustomed of getting tricked." She said and Feng Yi Lan opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out as if she had suddenly lost all her words.
At that moment, Qi Shuai returned and along with him came Shin Tingming, Chen Ru and Shin You Jun.
Getting inside the room, Chen Rui came to the side of Li Xue. Looking at Li Xue, she caressed her hair with love and then looked down at the baby in her arms. "Definitely pretty as you, dear. I am so happy today. Thank you for bring me to this day."
She said and Li Xue smiled to her before shaking her head, "Ma, don't embarrass me saying that. Everyone knew how badly I desired a mother. After so many hardships, I got you. The best one the world has ever known."
When her one mother walked over her and her pride, Li Xue never got the guts to believe that in this world she will ever have the luck of receiving motherly love. But then Chen Rui proved her all wrong. Seeing her, she believed why to every kid their mother is the beautiful fairy sent by the Heavens.
Not just the assurance and love she received, but she also got the support and encouragement from her that mothers selflessly give to their daughters always. If Chen Rui was the type of mother that defines the definition of step mother, then Li Xue will never doubt seeing every kid wishing for one.
"And you have been the best daughter I can ever ask." Chen Ru said and looking around the room. "Did you have anything? I have asked the nurse to keep the fruits here."
"The ones that I brought for you." From the frog, Shin You Jun said, letting Li Xue know the specifics. "Did you have it? Those were fresh and particularly handpicked by me. If you don't believe you can ask mother."
Li Xue saw his hunger for praise and shook her head internally. Then nodding, she said, "You have really picked up the skill of choosing the right ones. Those were really sweet and tasty. Thank you."
Shin You Jun wore a smug, but just then Li Xue turned to look at Chen Rui and added, "Seeing his skill growing towards something, Ma, I think you should consider sending to buy fresh ones every day. What do you think?"
As if truly considering Li Xue's advice, Chen Rui nodded and agreed, "Yeah, even I think so."
On the side Shin You Jun brows jutted and he at once rejected, "Definitely not. I picked those fruits out of love for my sister. I am not a servant to do it always."
"Is that so? O' sorry, I didn't read your expression properly before. Seeing you flaunting your art of picking vegetable, I almost though that you picked it as your hobby and would love to do it always." Li Xue said, staring at her brother with a very sincere face. But there was still the playfulness in her eyes that didn't go missed by Shin You Jun.
There was something within siblings' relationships, they can reach each other's expressions in a way no one else can do. Be it the expression of tease, happiness or sadness.
"Cruel and Ungrateful!" Glaring begrudgingly at her, Shin You Jun hmphed under his breath. But Feng Yi Lan was standing too close to get the audibility. When she heard him, she nodded with agreement and supported.
"Mm-hm, truly cruel and devilish."
Shin You Jun turned to look at her and within each other's eyes they once again agreed to the conclusion.
While at the same time Li Xue started feeling a bit tired. She looked at her baby and then turned to look at Feng Shufen. Shifting slightly in her position, she said, "Mr. Beelzebub, I feel it's time for you take him. Please."
She said but even after hearing her Feng Shufen didn't move. Just when Li Xue was about to ask him again, he said, "I will call the nurse."
Li Xue didn't understand it? Was he avoiding the baby? Did something happen?
