"Li Xue, if you really think that you can buy my forgiveness with just this bowl of pudding, then let me tell you that you are not– wrong to think that. Because this pudding is really amazing. I simply can't get over it." Feng Yi Lan said as she spooned another bite into her mouth enjoying the creamier taste on her tongue. Her eyes closed in delight while her expressions held the satisfaction from the sweet taste.
Little Li Wei chuckled seeing her like that. "Hehe … Aunt Yi Lan, you are so like WeiWei. I also do the same when I taste the desserts cooked by my mother. They are so amazing." She said repeating the same expressions as her Aunt.
Looking at both of them enjoying themselves like that, Li Xue could not help but shake her head. "No matter how hard is to get your forgiveness, Yi Lan, believe me, this bowl of the pudding will not be repeated again for the night. You two already have got enough in your stomach. So, complete this and call it a night." She said before coming to take her seat in the living room as well.
Feng Yi Lan heard and pouted. "Li Xue, you know I was upset at you and you even didn't take me along to the Clay-lore villa club earlier. Don't you think you are getting too harsh on me like that? You should treat me more."
As if guessing the situation very well and knowing her profitable sides better, WeiWei jumped in support. "I know Mama. Weiwei will not eat more today. She will have it tomorrow, okay?" She said, slowly blinking her eyes at her mother. Her small gesture asking for appreciation.
"You, little devil! Are you now leaving me alone? Weren't you supporting me for more desserts moments ago, and now you are pretending as if you are such an obedient child to your mother." Feng Yi Lan said, bringing a finger of accusation at the little girl. She could not believe the little one would be so smart.
When got the accusation, WeiWei blinked her eyes confusedly at her Aunt. "But Aunt Yi Lan, haven't I always been an obedient child to my mother. I always follow her words without missing one in-between. I even remember all her words and she says, we should not have too many sweets at night. It will rot our teeth".
"You … fine! Stay obedient to your mother, while I will have an extra serve of pudding. I am not going to share it with you." Feng Yi Lan huffed as she scooped another spoon to put into her mouth.
Little Li Wei smiled looking at her like that but she didn't say anything. She was too confident in her decision and knew well that her Mama will never be going to exceed another serve of pudding even if she acts all stubborn for it. So, she will curb it for now and enjoy it tomorrow again.
Looking at her friend arguing with her daughter like a child, Li Xue could not help but shake her head. "Yi Lan, your fashion show is already near and at this point, you cannot be so reckless with your diets. Do you understand?"
"But Li Xue, it will be you walking on the ramp, not me. So, even if I grow fat overnight, how does that matter?" Feng Yi Lan reasoned obstinately but paused when saw the pressing eyes of her friend on herself. Pouting she gave up, "Fine, I won't ask for more now. Are you happy?"
Li Xue smiled. "Very!" Then getting up from her seat, she went near her daughter. "Yi Lan, you sit for a while, I will go and tuck this little obedient devil under the blanket first. She has school tomorrow and she needs to sleep early".
"But Mama, why am I the little devil now? Didn't I follow your words?" The little girl asked, not understanding where she was wrong.
"You followed my words, sweetie, but at the same time didn't fail to tease your aunt. That's why I called you my little sweet and obedient devil. Now come, let me get you to the bed first. It's getting late and you really need to take good sleep to be energetic at school tomorrow". Li Xue said as she guided the little girl upstairs, leaving Feng Yi Lan to enjoy the rest of the pudding downstairs.
"Yi Lan, it will take me a little while. I will read her a bedtime story".
"Don't worry, dear. I won't get bored, I have my phone and in it is Wen Sying funny videos. I will enjoy my time well"
Li Xue could not help more. Pressing her lips, she shook her head before continuing her steps forward.
Things went silent as Li Xue completed a story and looked down at her princess. As expected, she was already asleep. Her lips curled up as she set the book aside before bringing the blanket properly to her little's neck. Then bending down, she pecked a goodnight kiss to her adorable bun.
"How did I even get this sweet, adorable, witty, and sensible imp in my life. Her beautiful presence itself seems so surreal that I cannot imagine", She boasted in herself when suddenly heard a sharp clanking voice downstairs. Her brows furrowed as she turned to look outside in confusion. "What was that?"
Then turning again, looked at her little one, one last time before strolling out of the room, closing the door behind her.
Downstairs, everything seemed normal, nothing out of the place, except for the glass bowl that was shattered on the floor. Li Xue's eyes trailed to look at it before getting to look back at her friend who was sitting scaringly silent and still at her place with her head low.
"Yi Lan, what happened?" She asked as she walked forward carefully avoiding the shards on the floor to reach her friend.
But no response came back. Li Xue's brows wrinkled more as she sensed something not right in the air. Her hands reached to hold Feng Yi Lan's shoulders. "Yi Lan! What happened? Will you please tell me? Your attitude right now is kind of scaring me."
She asked, really not understanding what suddenly went so wrong. But there was definitely something that was not feeling right. It was not like the other times, rather it seemed something really serious. She bent down on her knees to look more properly at her friend, only to find her eyes filled with tears.
"Yi Lan, you are crying. What happened?" nothing could bring panic more than Yi Lan's tears. That was so not like her. Fear washed over Li Xue as she frantically looked around to find the cause of it. But nothing came to her vision, except the phone on which there was still an ongoing call running.
Her eyes turned sharp at the phone as, without any delay, Li Xue went to get the call first. "Hello! Who is on the other side?" She asked. Her voice, coming a bit hoarse but firm.
"Ma'am, we are calling Ms. Feng Yi Lan from Chiboa's City Hospital. Can we please have a word with her?".
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
