Chapter 83 - Commendable way to bring up a child.
Making his expressions all stiff and stern, Feng Shufen filled all his details in the columns of Li Wei's father and then gave the form back to Li Xue to fill her part. Looking at him eluding such a cold, chilly aura, she did not put up any words to stop his actions.
Filling the papers as per requirements, the man handed it back to the Principal and said in a very calm manner, "We hope that in future, you will look after our WeiWei. If something crops up, don't hesitate calling me. And also while going through the school's prospectus, I have seen there is something lacking. I will let my secretary help you with it. Hope you don't mind"
Li Xue was stunned, hearing his words. Was he covering the truth for her? But won't it be better for him to reveal it? Unknowingly her heart was moved when he showed such consideration towards her. How can she not be touched? It was the first time someone has been so thoughtful for her. In the past years, about whom she was confident that they cared for her were all fake and liars. Everyone was just around for their own sake.
Now finding someone really caring for her and her daughter genuinely, she can't ignore but feel touched in her heart. Her eyes subconsciously went to stare at the man, who has been so soft and gentle to her.
The Principal was all fl.u.s.tered on the mention of the school's drawbacks. Though their school was the best in the country and no one can ever point out the fields, they were lacking in but there was no way in which those pointers can escape the Feng Shufen's eyes.
Smiling awkwardly, she said "We have thought to make changes too, but that would take some time since the trust provides us funds only once in the years. I know being a father you are concerned about your daughter's future, so we would definitely cooperate with you. I would really like to thank you for the help in advance". She was really grateful.
"Mama! Handsome Angel!"
They were still in the talks when suddenly a cheerful voice interrupted everyone with its adorable exuberance. And then in the next second, the ball full of energy sprinted inside the room. The man, who was sitting on the chair, instantly got up and scooped the little girl up in his arms. Just in two or three days, he has become all used to carrying her in his arms.
"Slowly, don't run like that, you might hurt yourself", he said, getting her all comfortable in his embrace. Little Li Wei giggled at his words lightly and then said, "Handsome Angel, I have become an expert in running now. I won't fall or get hurt".
"Li Wei, are you forgetting something?" Li Xue asked. She knew her daughter has always been careful about her surroundings and it's rarest for her to forget her manners. But being her mother, it was her responsibility to look after her, if she ever does.
The little girl looked at her mother with some thoughts. In her head she tried to recall all her actions from a few moments before, trying to get about what her Mama was trying to point out. Understanding what she missed, she bit her tongue a little out and said with a guilty tone. "Oops! Sorry Mama! I almost forgot"
Then turning around to face her Handsome Angel, she gestured to him to put her down urgently. Going to the little one's demand, he put her down and then waited to see what she was up to.
Getting down from his embrace, Little Li Wei instantly composed herself into a little formal attitude as she walked forward and bowed a little down in front of the Principal. "I am sorry for my impoliteness, Principal Mam. I should have asked for your permission before getting in your office. I promise, I will not repeat the same mistake next time"
The way she said those words almost left everyone in an awe. Being in the profession of education for years, the principal has herself never seen any child being so polite and obedient. Not only was the little girl aware of her mistakes but was also known for the ways in which she should apologize and correct it.
"No, no child, it's okay. Since you already know your mistake, everything is perfect. Just don't repeat it next time. Okay?", the principal said softly. She was really impressed with the little girl. She instantly praised the way she was brought up.
Children will always be proper if they were made known about the proper attitude and manners at their young age. And looking at this little girl now, she can't ignore but praise the properness she has been taught. It was really commendable.
"Thank You, Principal Mam", Little Li Wei said and then turned to look at her mother. "Mama, I am sorry. I have forgotten to ask for permission before, seeing Handsome Angel here. But I promise I will not repeat it again".
Li Xue smiled and nodded at her words. Then crouching down to get to her princess height, she said, "It's okay baby. Mistakes are bound to happen, even if you are too careful around. The thing that's important here is you know what you did wrong and have even apologized for it so everything is fine now"
Little Li Wei nodded in understanding and then went back to the man whom she had left before. Since she was small in height, she could barely manage to reach his knees. Tugging his pants lightly, she asked "Handsome Angel, have you completed your work in the office? Will you be accompanying us for the ice cream treat now?" she asked, looking up with expectant eyes.
Feng Shufen looked at her eyes. And he was sure that looking at her like this, even if he had some urgent work to attend, then too he would have cancelled it for the sake of this little piece. "Yes, it's completed and we can go for the ice cream treat together" he said and then leisurely looked at the principal and said, "Since the things are already done here, then we would leave now"
"Sure, Sure … President Feng! It's already good that you could take out your precious time to come here, that too at such a short notice" The Principal said gratefully.

Outside, Li Xue followed the man from behind. He was holding the little girl's hands and was making the way towards the car. She can still feel the ignorance he was giving to her. As if he was angry about something.
'What's up with him? Can't he let me explain for once?' she complained internally as she looked at his back. His sudden ignorance was irking her. She was desperate to explain to him that the words from the principal were a complete misunderstanding and she had no idea about it but the man was not even giving her a glance.
"President Feng, can you please hear me once? I really need to explain the things from before. It's not the way you think", she said from behind but the man did not say anything and continued to walk forward.
Little Li Wei, who had also heard her mother's words turned to look at her with a confused look but soon her confusion turned into sympathy. Just by looking at her mother's expression, she was sure that there was something wrong from her mother's end or else she wouldn't be so desperate.
Then looking up at her Handsome Angel, she asked softly, "Handsome Angel, are you angry with Mama?"
Feng Shufen looked at her and then shook his head in denial. "Then?" she asked again. Though the little girl knew that she can't help her mother in this problem, at least she could still collect some information for her.
"Your Mama made some mistake but she herself is not aware of it. So I am just making her realize it", he said plainly and then with one swift motion picked her up in his arms. "Didn't your Mama say before that one should be aware of her mistakes? So I am just helping your mother know it. I can neither get mad at you nor your mother"
The little girl nodded and smiled. She was relieved that her Handsome Angel was not mad rather he was just helping. There was nothing for her to worry now.
