Chapter 211 - Strict Mother.
Getting back at Little Carnations,
"Umm … Li Xue, I must say that with your skills you must not just stop after getting into Feng Internationals, you can be even better. I am cent per cent sure that your baking skills can create something better than Sweet Delicacy. I just fell for this pudding", Feng Yi Lan hummed with deliciousness when another scoop of caramel – custard pudding got melted inside her mouth.
She was wholeheartedly savouring its sweetness. Though she has known that her friend has got some skills in cooking before but this was like her first time tasting it. To say that she was contented with the taste will be a very weak statement when she was feeling more than it.
"I am glad you like it but you are not getting any extra. It might make you more fluffy, then you already are. So, finish this up and that would be all" She said with slight strictness, more like a mother disciplining her child.
"Hey! I am not fluffy. Who are you calling that? Just look at me. I look so gorgeous from every angle. How can you even say that when I maintain such a strict diet?" Feng Yi Lan said, feeling a little unjust as she scooped yet another sweet spoon into her mouth.
Li Xue could not control herself from shaking her head when heard her friend's words. "Strict diet! You have really guts to say that when you have stocked up so many Belgian chocolate wrappers in your car."
Feng Yi Lan had no words to retaliate. "So what? I am good at working out. I lose all my extra calories soon after I gain it." She came up with another good defence only to get cut short by her friend again.
"Yes, your work out! How can I even forget that? I know well about that too. Last time when I called you, you were still sleeping, up till half-past 10 in the morning. And now you are not WeiWei, whom I have to let know that workouts turned to be better if done early in the morning. Sleeping only makes you go lazy for the whole day!"
"Hey! Li Xue, are you trying to prove me lazy and fat. Remember, what we used to say before. Women never age, neither do they get fat! You can't go against our own theories now. And again, this is just a light serving of delicious pudding, not that sugary. There is no way I will gain any calories eating this. So just chill!" Feng Yi Lan said, assuring her friend that the diet is all fine for her.
"Fine, it won't affect you even if that serving equals to 146 or more calories in total. I am sure you can lose it all overnight. After all, women never get fat at the end as per our childish universal theory.?I think I should let your studio's fashion models learn this mantra too, then they would be so happy in their life. They could live without putting any strictness on their diet", Li Xue said sarcastically with a smile. And those words were enough to make Yi Lan surrender her strength to her.
Pulling her hands up she said, lowering her head in disappointment. "That's enough darling! I don't have anything else to say. I give up. This will be my last plate of sweet dishes this week. I am not going to ask for anymore. Are you happy now?"
Li Xue nodded. "Much better now!".
"Haha … Aunt Yi Lan, you can never win over Mama. She has become all practised with me and has got various ways to make people give in to her words" the little girl said, giggling at the scene. She has been enjoying her mother's bickering throughout. No one knew what made her little doll so happy but the little princess knew it. Finally, her mother was truly happy. She was not lonely anymore.
Back in their small town, though she has seen her mother laughing and cheerful around her, she has seen her mother's loneliness too. And being her mother's little angel, she has always wanted to do some magic to erase all those sadness and loneliness but however, she moved her hands for it, that loneliness still lingered around her Mama until they were back to this city.
"You are right chipmunk! Your Mama has become a bully now. See, she is neither allowing you nor me to have this delicious caramel – custard pudding. How bad, right?" Yi Lan asked Little Li Wei, folding her arms up in front, thinking to form her own little team against Li Xue.
But little did she know that the little doll was too obsessed with her mother to ever leave her team to hop into another. Shaking her head right in an instant, Li Wei said all firmly as if she was some upperclassman who is calmly but resolutely explaining things to her junior. "No, Aunt Yi Lan! Mama is not bullying us. She is just caring for our health a little too much"
She said, taking a pause. Then stretching her hands out to indicate some big quantity, she continued, "Mama says, 'too much of anything is bad' but since her care is just a little fraction of 'too much' it's not that bad. We can manage with her care".?She concluded, pulling her two fingers to show the 'little fraction of too much' quantity she was talking about.
Feng Yi Lan could no longer deal with this little girl. Her words were easy to understand but also too tough to come up with any fight back. Pursing her lips, she wanted to just kneel in surrender but seeing how innocently the little cute devil was blinking her eyes, she couldn't do anything else but pinch her cheeks.
"You, little devil … don't you love me even a bit? Why do you have to torture me like this? Didn't you know I am too weak to take all these big words of yours? Can't you take my side for even once?"
"Hehe … Aunt Yi Lan, you got it wrong. You are my best Aunt and I love you the most after Mama and Daddy Angel. I can even share my favourite ice creams with you"
Feng Yi Lan smiled at her words but then suddenly her brows got wrinkled in confusion, as her gaze shifted to look at her friend to find some answers. "Ayee!! Daddy Angel!! Who is that? How come I have no idea about it?"
