Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 564 - Cherish your 'good' today and wait for your 'best' tomorrow.

In the car, WeiWei was sitting on Feng Shufen's comfortable l.a.p, humming a rhyme while swinging herself in rhythm of it. But then suddenly stopping abruptly in between her tune, she threw her head back to look at her Daddy Angel before asking, "Daddy Angel, was I perfect on the stage? Or do I need more improvements?"

"WeiWei, that's enough sweetie. You asked the same question to me, Aunt Yi Lan and even your Uncle Cutie. You were good and this is just the first competition, you appeared in. There will be many coming in the future. You were already good in this one and even if you missed somewhere, learn this time and improve in the next one. Don't ponder continuously on the same thing, okay?"

Li Xue tried to explain. She knew her daughter was very still in the growing age and needed to be guided well.

"But Mama, even for the next time, I would need to know my mistakes. Only after knowing them, I could do better in the next one. That's why I am asking Daddy Angel" The little girl defended herself but then seeing the concern in the eyes of her mother, she assured, "Don't worry, Mama! Once I know my wrongs from today, I will not think much about it".

Li Xue could only purse her lips at her little devil before turning to look at the man. Feng Shufen looked at her fair, petite face before blinking with some assurance at her. Then turning back to his little piece, who already has her eyes at him for a good time now, he shook his head.

With just his simple denial, he could see her getting disheartened. But that disheartenment didn't pause him. Though he knew he was getting a little harsh to her, he also knew that just praises without any critics are not going to help her in the long run … would not help her become the one he wants her to be … the one he has seen her potential in.

Li Xue's eyes also caught the tears getting built up in the eyes of her little one. She knew her tears were rare and when it came it only meant she was truly upset. But still knowing that she did not interrupt. She believed in her Mr Beelzebub, who she knew would never do anything hurtful to their daughter. And she also believed in the strength of her princess. She has never made her a weak, fragile girl, who could not take the rightful criticisms.

Feng Shufen brought his hand up to lightly pat over her head before pacifying her. "On the stage you were good, WeiWei but not perfect. No doubt, among all your competitors, you were the deserving one but that stage should never be your goal. The world is all big and attaining your own perfection is all that you need. Your posture and your way of delivering your thoughts were something you were lacking at but according to your first attempt you did very well". He explained.

Little Li Wei stared at her Daddy Angel but didn't say anything. She was just breathing in and out, trying her best to control her tears from rolling down. Reminding herself again and again about the things her Mama has taught her. Tears are not to waste on little things but to use to show your heartfelt emotions at the right time.

The mother was not unknown to her princess's struggles. Smiling a little in ease, she called, "WeiWei, come to Mama". And at once on her words, the little girl went to climb into her Mama's embrace, hiding her face slightly with few hitched sobs.

"Mama, I am sorry. I don't want to waste tears but I don't know it's coming on its own. I think my tears have gone upset at me, that's why they are not obeying me" the little one sobbed out. Her voice breaking at the end.

Li Xue lightly combed her fingers through her hair before consoling her. "It's okay, sweetie. You can cry sometimes. But I hope you know the reason for which you are crying". The little girl nodded before saying.

"Because I feel like I disappointed Daddy Angel. I wasn't perfect."

Li Xue's eyes snapped to look at the man. And she has expected it all right. The man's expression was already darkest as hell, his eyes stonily cold as if he could freeze the whole world in seconds but restraining himself just by thinking that instead of the world, he is to be blamed.

He must have not thought of this coming. Li Xue contemplated on her own, seeing his knuckles going whiter due to the tighter clench of his fist.

Du Fan at the front also felt the temperature dropping vigorously. He shivered at the sight of his Young Master from the mirror but then turned to look at the Madam, on whom everything felt depended. The calmness on the lady's face eased him little and gave him the hope of the situation still being in control of her.

Li Xue on the other side sighed to herself. Then moving her one hand, she placed it on the man's clenched ones.

Feng Shufen turned to look at her when felt her touch. To which the woman just shook her head, asking him to not think much before lip-sync to him, "Don't blame yourself. Just let me handle this." Though her assurance eased the man's clenched muscles, it didn't bring any change to the iciness of regret in his eyes.

He nodded to her as he looked at her turning back to the little one who was still sobbing in the arms of the mother. His heartfelt a pang but he chose to believe Li Xue more.

"WeiWei, did your Daddy Angel say that he is disappointed in you?" Suddenly Li Xue asked and within a second, the sobs paused as the little girl pulled back to look at her mother before shaking her head.

"No, Mama. He didn't say. He said that I was good but not perfect"

Li Xue gave a nod of pondering. "Ohh, so do you think good could never be compared to better?"

Little Li Wei again shook her head, controlling her sobs. "No, Mama. You said, Good is the first step to becoming better and then best. So, we should never take 'good' as any less"

The mother smiled. "Then have you not just taken your Daddy Angel's 'good' as something low just now? See, you even made your Daddy Angel feel guilty when it was you, who asked him to tell you, your wrongs from today's competition".

Little Li Wei at once felt guilty. Her eyes darted to look back at her Daddy Angel, who was having stiff expressions of pain on. She turned to look back at her mother, before confessing, "Mama, I was wrong. I didn't do it on purpose. Will Daddy Angel be unhappy with me?"

Li Xue shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know. Why don't you go and ask him on your own?"

Li Wei pondered for a moment before looking at her Daddy Angel. Their eyes got connected, warm grey ones easing the pair of cold ones and in the next second, the girl was again back into his embrace, clinging to him all dearly for life.

"Daddy Angel, I was wrong. But please don't be upset with WeiWei. I will cherish your 'good' today and wait for your 'best' tomorrow".
