Chapter 1350 Fenfen's wife and WeiWei's mother.
??When at night WeiWei got all excited, Feng Shufen smiled and took her into his embrace before slowly patting her head. "Even if you are planning to make breakfast for your mother, you should wait until morning. Right now, it's dinner time so let's go get you dinner first."??He said and Little WeiWei nodded, understanding his words. But then looking at her father, she said in a rather serious tone, "Daddy Angel, you should smile more. Since Mama has gone, you have smiled little, but now that she will come back soon, you should start smiling. That way you would look more handsome and people would fear you less."
??She said and Feng Shufen got dumbfounded at her words. He never thought that she had noticed the change in him when he had particularly made sure not to let her see his side of pain. But little did he expect her to know it all along.
??This little one really was keen with her eyes and also knew well when to bring up the things to notice.
??No doubt this was their daughter. She had the characters of both of them. The moment he thought it like that, his heart filled with satisfaction.
??He smiled before nodding to her. Then scooping her up in his arms, he took her out of the room to get the dinner first.
??As he walked, he asked, "WeiWei, you said people fear me. Have you never feared me?" Feng Shufen has always wanted to ask this question. After all, even though his nephews have grown, he has seen them keeping themselves away from him. His presence clearly overwhelmed them.
??But he never saw this little one getting scared of him. Even when she met him for the first time, she wasn't scared looking at his cold face but rather called him her angel.
??Little WeiWei looked at her Daddy Angel and pouted her lips out before shaking her head in dismissal. "Why would WeiWei get scared of you? You are my Daddy Angel. And Mama has said that neither Daddy would harm her princess nor angel would hurt adorable children. So, there was nothing to be scared of."
??As she put it like that, Feng Shufen couldn't help but smile. Nodding his head in understanding, he didn't speak more, rather took her straight down to the dining table before asking Sister Margaret to set the table.
??Since Li Xue has visited earlier, Sister Margaret and the maids of the house could visibly see the difference in the air. There was no longer air of heaviness in the house, rather there was pleasing peace that hinted that everything would be going to be fine soon.
??***
??Next morning, when Li Xue woke up and proceeded to have breakfast, Shin Tingming was already waiting for her at the table along with Chen Rui and Shin You Jun.
??When they saw her coming, Shin You Jun whined to hurry her. "Elder Sister, what are you even doing there? Come fast to the dining table. I am already famished. Do you want me to starve to death today?"
??Li Xue rolled her eyes. Although she didn't know how her relationship with this brat was earlier, in this one-month time she had already gotten used to his antics. She had come to realize that he was the child who was yet to grow up in sense even after his height had already come to match an adult.
??"Skipping breakfast won't starve you to death, little brother." She said to him before turning to give a small greeting smile to Shin Tingming to add, "Good morning, father."
??Shin Tingming smiled to her while wishing her back, "Good morning, dear. Come, have your breakfast. We have been waiting for you."
??"Good morning, Ma." She wished softly, before pulling the chair out to sit and served herself a plate.
??Since she sat down for breakfast, others started to eat as well. It has become a ritual of having breakfast and dinner together from the day Li Xue came to live in the palace.
??All were in the middle of the breakfast when suddenly, Li Xue paused as looking at Chen Rui, she suddenly asked, "Ma, can I ask you something?"
??Chen Rui paused and looked up at her before nodding, "Sure, dear. Ask anything you want. I am your mother. If not me, who else would you ask?"
??Li Xue smiled. But then tugging her brows slightly, she asked with some depth in both her eyes and tone, "Ma, have I been meeting the young little girl from Feng family quite often before? I mean did I know her from before?"
??She asked, and the rest of the people on the table halted. Not just in their movements but also in their thoughts.
??Shin Tingming's expression was the first to change before getting all cold. His fingers clenched on the fork and spoon he was holding in his hand.
??Li Xue undeniably noticed it. Her frown deepened at her father as she was about to ask what was the matter when from the other side of the table, Chen Rui laughed to say.
??"Of course, dear. You have met her several times and you have also been quite close to her. But why are you asking about this today? Have you met her recently?"
??Li Xue was distracted successfully from Shin Tingming's reaction. Looking at Chen Rui, she nodded. "Yeah, I met her yesterday at the mall. She was lost and we were all trying to find her."
??The moment she said that, Chen Rui showed anxiousness as she asked in quite haste, "What? She got lost. How can they be so careless? Can't they even take care of the little girl?"
??When Shin You Jun saw Li Xue's expression turned complicated, he quickly reached to pat on his mother's hands to calm her down.
??Chen Rui at once realized her mistake. Composing herself back in her attitude, she quickly tried to reason. "Ah, I mean the girl is really young. They shouldn't be careless around her. After all, leaving a kid alone is not safe."
??Although Li Xue felt there was something amiss, she still couldn't put a finger on it. Maybe her mother has been this worried for any kid out there.
??"There is nothing to worry about her, Ma. Yesterday, luckily, I found her. Or more appropriate to say, she has found me. Then I brought her home. She must be all well now."
??"Home?" Shin Tingming frowned the moment he heard her mention that. Since the little one has not come here, it only meant that Li Xue must have sent her to the forest house. And that thought of it was enough to bring him to the edge.
??But oblivious to his anger, Li Xue nodded to him before explaining the thing that he already knew. "Yes, Pa. I brought her to her home. The one that's located in the forest. I must say it was a very beautiful place. Living there must be awesome."
??She said and Shin Tingming's fist clenched. "Why do you have to send her there personally, Xue.? You should have let your assistant or any guard do it for you. Or for better, would have brought Little WeiWei here." He said and his reprimanding tone was evident in her words.
??Li Xue didn't understand his hostility. It was clearly not about WeiWei. But if it was not about her, then towards whom was her father hostile.
??Not understanding, she turned to look at Chen Rui, wordlessly asking her things about it.
??Chen Rui understood her gaze and at once she turned to give her husband a look before speaking in a disapproving tone.
??"Honey, what are you saying? It was about sending the little one home. How could Xiao Xue entrust her to her assistant or anyone else? It was better that she went to drop her on her own. That way at least she made sure that WeiWei is better."
??Then she turned to look at her son and said, "You Jun, later you go and check on her once. She is still a little kid. After getting lost yesterday, she must be scared."
??She said and Shin You Jun was about to nod when Li Xue interrupted to say, "That will not be needed. Later, I will go and visit her with Feng Yi Lan. I will check on her and make sure that she is fine. I have promised her to visit anyway."
??Shin Tingming was about to say something against her plans but before he could, Chen Rui held him back before adding with a smile to add instead.
??"That's better then. She is quite close to you. With you around, she would be happy and feel better. Complete your breakfast and you can go with your plan." She said and Li Xue happily nodded to her before resuming her breakfast.
??Just the thought of going back to that house was pleasing, so she quickly rushed to complete her breakfast before making a move from the table after excusing herself.
??Once she was gone, Shin Tingming turned to stare at his wife. He was clearly upset. "Why did you not let me stop her, Rui?"
??"Tingming, how long are you going to feign ignorance to the fact. Haven't you had enough? Li Xue is not just your daughter whom you want to protect. She is also FenFen's wife and WeiWei's mother. Do you really think that you can keep her in oblivion? Can't you see that she has already grown fond of them even without knowing anything from her past? Do you really think that you can drag this for long?" Chen Rui countered sharply, staring at her husband.
