Chapter 667 - Tinge of flavor to the day

Back at Little Carnations,

Li Xue came out from the bathroom wrapped in a bathrobe after taking a deep, warm bath. Her skin, looking flushed with freshness. Her eyes squinted a little, when saw a small figure rolling on her bed. Her lips, getting pulled a little into a soft smile, knowing well who was under the blanket like that. 

Without saying a word at the scene, she went into the closet first to get dressed so that she can come back and enjoy the fun soon. But just before she could even complete her dressing, she heard her sweet yet the devilic princess call from outside.

"Mama! Mama! Where are you, Mama? Your devilic-princess has come to save you from the darkness. Don't be scared, she will always protect". The little one said her little knight's speech from outside and the mother could not help but smile at her daughter's cuteness. 

"This little one of mine really knows how to add her tinge of flavor in the day." Li Xue commented as she lightly applied a quick moisturizer on her face before walking back in the room. 

Little Li Wei was already up with her play. Covering herself completely in the blanket, she was standing on the bed, spinning slowly around. Neither her face or figure was evident to eyes, but her play of devilishness can easily be seen in the air. "Mama! Mama! Don't be scared. WeiWei is here for you". She chimed, adding her words more and more. 

Seeing her like that, Li Xue could not help but smile again and again. Not giving any words in reply to her, Li Xue p.u.s.s.y – footedly walked her way to her. Grabbing her form under the cover, she then said, "Mama's devilic – angel is here to save her Mama. But who will save the little devil now? Huh?" She played along gently tickling and squeezing the little one between her arms. 

At her question, the little girl under the blanket didn't hesitate saying, "Little WeiWei will save her Mama and Mama will save her little WeiWei. And if we both are trapped then Daddy Angel will come to save us".  She said before giggling out a laughter while playfully resisting in the embrace. 

Though her words of reply were simple to ears, for a minutest moment, it took Li Xue back in the thoughts of the man. She agreed already that if truly someday she would be trapped somewhere, she would be expecting no one but him to come to her rescue first. No one else but him will be there first. She thought, trancing off for a bit, only to be brought back by the cheerful voice of her daughter the next moment. 

"Mama, see, WeiWei has grown stronger than before, she rescued herself and now she will rescue her Mama" Little Li Wei said, getting herself free. Then removing her blanket went to wrap her small arms around her mother, giving her a hug full of love. "WeiWei has also saved her Mama and taken her back into her arms." She said and then cheerfully giggled again. 

"Mhm – Hmm. Indeed! My Weiwei has grown stronger now", Li Xue said, pinching her nose with adoration while pulling herself a little back to look at the little one clearly. "But how did she grow so strong? Wasn't she fearful of darkness earlier and wanting her Mama to fight with her against darkness?" She asked, clearly remembering the little tale her sweetie had played last time, back in the small town.

Little Li Wei giggled. "Hehe … Mama, that was the story when I was a small girl. Now that WeiWei has grown big, she is no longer fearful because her Mama has taught her well. She has understood that we have enough light inside us to fight any darkness in this world. So, there is no use of being fearful of darkness". 

She said and Li Xue heard her daughter repeat her understanding well from the last time. It amazes every time how quick was the girl to take all her words in a proper understanding. She never had to explain it to her twice. Her princess was witty enough to grab everything at once. 

"Mmhm. I see my sweetie has really grown smarter now. But tell me what are you doing here at this hour. Are you not going to sleep? You will be having your school tomorrow, and by now, you should have already slept". She asked, looking at the clock that was already stuck past nine. 

The little girl also turned to look at the clock but then turning back to her mother, she hugged her tighter.  "Mama, can WeiWei sleep with you today. She wants to protect her Mama at night since Daddy Angel is not here". She said and just her way of saying was enough to make anyone give in to her demands. How could Li Xue choose not to? 

But apart from accepting her wish there was something more in her words that hit her. Pulling her a little away from her, she looked down before asking, "Aye, what did you say? Why do you want to sleep with me tonight?" 

Little Li Wei smiled before changing her words wittily. Moving her hands to reach her mother's face, she cupped her cheeks and said, "Because WeiWei loves her Mama the most and doesn't want to put her in danger?" 

At her changed words, Li Xue at once narrowed her eyes at her daughter and the little daughter could not help but agree to confess. "Uh ohh, Mama! WeiWei doesn't get scared of darkness any more but she still fears that she would upset her Mama. I just said I want to sleep with you so that I can protect you in the absence of Daddy Angel. He has gone out for work, and has entrusted me and Sister Margaret to take care of you". 

Li Xue was rendered speechless by those words. Though there were many things to say, yet there was nothing she could bring out at the moment. "Protect me in the absence of your Daddy Angel? Heh! Let me see how you do that?" She said, jerking the little body off the bed to carry her out of the room. "Let's go and sleep now."

She said and WeiWei went all the way giggling in her mother's arms.
