"Mama, did Aunt Yi Lan also go missing as you got at the airport last time?" Little Li Wei asked as she twisted and turned back forth. Her eyes continuously searching for her dearest Aunt in the crowd while holding tight onto her Mama's hands. As if her hold got loose onto her mother then she would also get lost and she would have to search for two women at the same time. Won't that become hectic?
It would definitely become a tough job for a little 5 years old kid.
"Umm … I don't know sweetie. We will ask her when we get to meet her". Li Xue said as her eyes also travelled around but she could not spot her friend anywhere. Did Mr Beelzebub scare her again? She thought to herself when remembered their small suspicious talk from before.
The little girl nodded before agreeing, "Mhm – hmm! We will ask Aunt Yi Lan after finding her" And then again turned to look around in search while Li Xue once again pulled her phone out to connect the call with the woman.
The ring went in but still after a few rings, no attempts were shown to receive the call and Li Xue almost thought that this attempt would also fail when suddenly the call was connected.
Before even the attender of the call could get any time to respond, Li Xue spoke from her side. Her voice sounded calm but one could clearly see the worry in her eyes. "Hello, Yi Lan! Where are you?"
"Behind you!" Yi Lan replied and the woman's brows immediately wrinkled in confusion, repeating the words after her.
"Behind me? What do you mean?"
"Mama, there!" At her mother's words, the little one got quick reflexes. Instantly twisting a little on her stance, she turned to look behind her mother, before calling at the sight of her Aunt. "Uncle Cutie found Aunt Yi Lan", she added more upon finding her favourite uncle along with the lady.
Li Xue also turned around to find Feng Yi Lan strolling to them, being in Qi Shuai's arms. Her brows raised on their own as she passed a stare full of meaning to her friend. "Umm … I see, sweetie. Seems like only your Uncle Cutie got the eyes to find your Aunt Yi Lan".
The little was confused at her mother's words. With eyes full of innocence, she strained her neck to ask all curiously. "Huh? Mama, do we need special eyes to find Aunt Yi Lan?".
Hearing her innocent question like this, Feng Yi Lan, who has just arrived near them could not help but become all fl.u.s.tered. "Hey, Li Xue, what wrong are you teaching your small little one? She is just a kid; didn't you say last time?" she said with a hue of bashfulness on her cheeks.
Qi Shuai also smiled but still did not make any attempt to remove his arms from around her. It was just a moment of chance and he was not wanting to miss it just for the thoughts of others. He was enjoying the moment of being close to the woman, who nowadays doesn't leave any opportunity to give him the cold shoulder.
Li Xue smiled as her eyes immediately understood the intentions of the man. "Oops, I am sorry. I forgot to put the filter on my words. But I don't think I have said something wrong".
Understanding her friend's gesture all well, Yi Lan sharply elbowed Qi Shuai's side abdomen, making him lose his wrap around her at once.
"Ouch!" he yelped lightly, closing his eyes a little in agony but the woman paid no heed to him rather looked at Li Xue and w.h.i.n.ed.
"Li Xue! You have really turned evil living with my brother. That's why I never wanted to share you with him. Hmph! He is turning you wicked like him."
Li Xue chuckled. She opened her mouth to say something but before she could let any word out, she again felt the curious tug of her daughter from down.
"Mama, you didn't answer my question. Do we need special eyes to find Aunt Yi Lan?" Little Li Wei probed her question again when saw everyone forgetting her amidst their talks.
Li Xue shook her head at her own forgetfulness. How could she forget her daughter would not be going to leave the topic until and unless she gets to hear a satisfying answer? Her lips pressed with some thought as she looked at Feng Yi Lan, who was keeping squinted eyes of revenge at her.
"You sowed the seeds yourself. Now it's time to cut the crops. Best of luck. Hmph!" she said as she folded her arms on her c.h.e.s.t.
Li Xue clicked her tongue at her before turning to look at her curious daughter, whose eyes were fixed on her face for quite some time now. She sighed a little thinking if her small neck even hurt seeing up like this or not. Then bending till her waist-length for her, she pinched her nose before asking, "Aye, little devil, can't you ever forget your questions?"
Little Li Wei shook her head, "No, Mama! How can I forget the questions when you daily feed me two almonds in the morning? Almonds are good for increasing memory power, you have said that before, remember?"
At her words, the mother could only droop her head low. Now, it was her time to have some almonds. Why was she forgetting? Her devilic – angel never forgets any of her words.
Opening her eyes once again, she looked at her little one. Her innocent eyes compelling her to guide her well. Taking a deep breath in, she said with a nod, "Yes, sweetie! To find someone quickly with ease, one needs special eyes. That's called eyes of love. If you love someone very much then you will be able to find them all easily". She said as she turned slightly to glance at her friend, knowing all well about the tough times she was giving to Director Qi these days.
"But Mama, I also love Aunt Yi Lan and you also do, then how come only Uncle Cutie was able to find her first?" The little girl asked, not understanding the things well.
Li Xue smiled as she thought to help the man slightly in disguise. "That's because Uncle Cutie loves your Aunt Yi Lan more than us. If not, then do you think his eyes would have shown worry seeing her hurt?"
The little girl nodded her head in understanding. "Umm … So, Uncle Cutie has got those special eyes for Aunt Yi Lan and Daddy Angel got them for us. Now, I understand why Daddy Angel finds us this fast. It must be because he loves us more than anyone else. But Mama WeiWei also loves him the most. Do I also have special eyes for him?" she asked excitedly towards the end.
Li Xue could only facepalm herself. She was trying to help Director Qi in disguise but this little one just could not keep aside the praises of her Daddy Angel. She sighed.
While on the other side, all this time, when they were busy among themselves, none noticed the two pairs of eyes staring at them from a different side.
