Chapter 252 - Mama, hold me! I might fall down.
Next morning when Li Xue woke up, she was all fresh. A smile reaching her amber eyes were beaming on her face, making it shine more in blissful sunlight.
Everyone has got some past which they fear to share even with themselves. But once you find the person with whom you can share the worst of your life, then one should consider themselves lucky enough because not everyone can have that privilege in their life.
Turning her head to the side, she wanted to take a look at her daughter's pretty beautiful face but to her surprise, her sweetie was nowhere near her. She would have panicked but then she realized that last night she had not been alone in her house.
A chuckle left her lips when she recalled how cunningly Mr Beelzebub has made her agree for him sleeping at her place. Not like she would have refused since he had already made his space long ago in one of the rooms in the apartment.
She still remembered how things started with a cup of tea, went to a pair of slippers, taking a room in her house rightfully and then directly capturing her heart. Now looking back, she feels like everything he did was just to trap her. From the beginning till the end, everything felt like a well – organized crafty plan of his far-sighted brain.
Slipping her feet into the slippers at her bedside, she treaded her way out her room. The morning looked extra blissful, maybe because she had found the person who has given her the reasons to enjoy this blissfulness.
As expected by her, her little princess was enjoying the morning company of her Daddy Angel. Her continuous soft giggles were making the air more melodic and peaceful. "Haha … Daddy Angel, the morning is so fun with you", she said as she again moved the towel to wipe off the man's sweat from his face.
With how comfortable they were looking in their actions, it seemed like they were repeating the same things for quite some time now. The scene in front of Li Xue seemed very warm and soft but that was not the thing that caught her eyes.
Though her eyes first went to look at her daughter but were soon enchanted by the man's morning beauty. Suddenly his words from last night echoed back into her ears. 'No one but his beauty stream has got the best depths in the entire country'.
No doubt in those words but there was a correction that she wanted to make in that statement. Not in just this country but she can bet that in the entire world, she won't be able to find the same depths anywhere.
Her eyes caught each and every movement of his firm muscles flexing through the cross crunches. Even in the sweats, he looked as charming as ever. How can she even say that? Of course, men look charming while doing workouts.
"Want me to maintain a pose?" the question suddenly snapped the woman out from her thoughts. Her cheeks felt like burning when she found the man staring at her with a smirk playing over his lips.
Taking her hands up, she immediately started fanning herself, showing her oblivion to the words he had asked her. "Ohh it's so hot today. I feel like burning now. Nothing like the chilled winds that were blowing yesterday"
She said awkwardly smiling as she went to simply slump down on one of the sofa seats. The man raised his brows slightly at her with an amused expression on his face.
Li Xue looked at him and decided to continue her drama of ignorance. She couldn't make herself embarrassed in front of him early in the morning. "Haha … By the way I never knew that you work out early in the morning. Ahh … I almost forgot to greet, Good morning to both you"
The more Li Xue wanted to not embarrass herself, the more her words were going against her intentions.
Li Wei too looked at her mother, whose actions were really a little weird than her usual early morning routine. Keeping the towel in her hand aside, she went climbing up the sofa to get near her mother.
"Mama, have you not covered yourself with that jacket yesterday? Huh?" she asked all innocently with concern in her eyes, pulling her arms upon her Mama's forehead to check the temperature. But her face held a confusion as if she had felt some suspicion in her surroundings.
Li Xue smiled at her daughter's sweet action, nodding her head in agreement, she said, "Of course, I have covered myself properly. How can I not? It was an order from a sweet princess, I have to take it seriously".
The little girl was not satisfied with her mother's words. Making her eyes show the doubts, she walked to her front, getting her stubby legs fixed on her lap.
"Mama, hold me tight first or I might fall", she said, making Li Xue hold her little body from the waist.
"Li Wei, sweetie, what are you doing? You might fall down like this", the mother said, not understanding the actions of her little one.
"I believe you, Mama. You won't let me fall", Little Li Wei said with high beliefs on her mother. It was true her mother would never let her fall. She will always be there for her.
The little girl did not say anything after that. She just leaned a little more to her mother and placed her forehead over hers and said, "Mama, are you feeling unwell with some other reasons? Your temperature feels normal to my skin but your cheeks are so red, same as I had when I was ill four months back".
Saying her words, she pulled herself back to look at her mother concernedly. Her hands cupping her mother's cheeks lightly from both sides.
Li Xue felt her tongue getting tied at her words. Her eyes went to look at the man and found him suppressing his laughter at her. Without her realization, her cheeks turned redder and the little girl felt more worried about her.
"Mama, tell me … Am I not doing it the right way?"
"…" was there really something that the woman can tell?
When Li Wei did not see any reply coming from her mother, she turned back to look at her ultimate rescuer. "Daddy Angel, can you help Mama check if she has a fever or not. I feel like she has caught a cold because of fewer clothes from yesterday night"
