Li Xue was taken aback. Blinking her eyes, she looked around only to find the excited faces of Feng Yi Lan, Qi Shuai and Sister Margaret. For a moment, she didn't understand what was happening. Her brows tugged together in confusion.
And seeing her like that, Feng Yi Lan's brows furrowed in anxiety. She was standing there while hooking her arms with Qi Shuai. Leaving it at once, she stepped forward to ask, "Li Xue, you might not have lost your memory again? I ... I ..."
Li Xue pursed her lips and then gave a look of disbelief to her friend, "Yi Lan, I reached back home safely. How do you think I can lose my memory again? Furthermore, do you think that I would have been able to tell you whether I lost the memory or not?" She said and Feng Yi Lan stared at her with some thought.
"So that means you have really regained your memories?"
Li Xue nodded and Feng Yi Lan clapped with joy. "Ah, finally that's a relief. Li Xue, do you even know how tough it has been without you? Especially my Devil Brother. He ... *ahem* I mean dearest Brother; he was so hard to handle. You can go and ask the employees back at the company. They will surely cry their heart out the torture they have suffered when you were there."
Feng Yi Lan exaggerated and Li Xue's eyes turned to gaze at Feng Shufen, who was standing right beside with a nonchalant expression. There was no hint of rejection on his face regarding the accusations. Rather he looked quite relaxed as if he was ready to accept it with all pride.
"Li Xue, you really should have seen him in the last month. Not just he had tortured the people but he has also made sure to kill himself in your absence. He has made himself a working machine. Except for working 24X7, he wasn't involved in anything. There have even been times where he has almost collapsed working day and night. If not for the persistent care of Little WeiWei all this while, today, you might be seeing him in the form of a skeleton."
"In your absence, only WeiWei had the power and guts to approach him." Feng Yi narrated it all and then turned to look down at the little figure, who had been excited to meet her mother back all this while. She had more praises to sing about her but before she could begin the next slot, she saw the little one sprinting her way to her mother already.
Li Xue didn't say anything to Feng Shufen at the moment. But her eyes easily caught sight of her little one running her way. To embrace her in her arms, she at once got on her knees while opening her arms.
When found her mother ready to embrace her, WeiWei smiled before getting in her arms and wrapping hers around her. "Mama, do you all remember WeiWei now?" She asked and hearing that, Li Xue hummed before nodding.
"Can Mama forget Mama for long?"
Little Li Wei didn't speak. Rather she hugged for a while and when felt that it was enough, she stepped back and stared at her mother with pursed lips. "Mama, the one month you weren't around felt longer than the five years I have lived with you." She said and on her say like that Li Xue was taken aback.
While her eyes glistened with the evident tears, she couldn't hold herself from pulling the little one back in her arms, kissing and embracing her back in the warm and tight hug.
"Sorry, sweetie. Mama must have troubled you a lot with her problems. Will you not forgive, Mama?" Li Xue asked, while soothingly patting the back of the little one. She knew that no matter what she said, she couldn't compensate the little one for the thing she had suffered. Still at the moment, except for an apology, there was nothing else she could offer. So ...
"But Mama, WeiWei has not been upset. And since she has not been upset, how can she forgive you? Daddy Angel said that you were unwell and once you get well, you will remember me back." The little one said and heard her say that Li Xue turned up to look at Feng Shufen with gratefulness.
Feng Shufen didn't speak but his gaze was enough to reassure the woman. Li Xue smiled as she caressed the hair of her baby. "You Daddy Angel was right, sweetie. Mama was really unwell. But now she has gotten well and has remembered you back. And Mama also promises to never forget you again. Will you believe Mama?"
WeiWei didn't revert back immediately. She paused for a moment before giving a small ponder to the thought. Then stepping back, she looked at her mother and asked, "Mama, have you really remembered WeiWei?"
Li Xue nodded. "Of course, sweetie. Do you not believe me?"
WeiWei shook her head. "How can WeiWei not believe, Mama? It is just that WeiWei wants to confirm."
"Okay, sweetie. How do you want to confirm?"
The little one raised three fingers on her hands. Li Xue didn't understand and her brows jutted together in confusion.
"This?"
"Three questions, Mama." WeiWei said and Li Xue's brows furrowed further at her words. To which Little WeiWei further continued, "Mama, answer WeiWei's three questions and it will be confirmed. Will you?"
Li Xue didn't know what was going on in her daughter's head. But still when she asked, she couldn't bring herself to deny her request, nor was she able to ask her to explain more. Instead, nodding, she agreed.
"Fine, as long as my sweetie wants it, Mama is good to agree. Ask your questions away."
She said and WeiWei gave her a pleasant smile. But then before presenting her questions, she turned to look at her Daddy Angel, Feng Yi Lan, Qi Shuai and Sister Margaret. Matching with everyone's gaze she said, "I am asking the questions to Mama, no one else is allowed to answer. Okay?"
