Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

The atmosphere was soon all fine and comforting. Letting out everything she has kept hidden inside herself, Feng Yi Lan was really feeling light and happy. They were just sitting together and having small talks about here and there, when suddenly out of blue something struck Feng Yi Lan.

Pulling herself up on the feet, she quickly pulled Li Xue to stand up too. Then walking around her, she eyed her all minutely before asking. "Ayeee! Why didn't I notice this before? Your figure … it's still all perfect for mode … Girl, tell me something. For Li Wei, did you do a C – section or did she come out normally?"

Li Xue was dumbfounded with her question but she replied, "Umm … my pregnancy did have some complications but still it offered me the privilege of choosing vaginal birth. So yes, I had a normal delivery for Li Wei. But why are you asking this now? Don't say seeing my baby, you are planning to get one too?"

Feng Yi Lan instantly rolled her eyes as she heard her. "Haha … Though I want that so badly, still I can't deny that I am not capable of having a baby as sweet, beautiful, witty and sensible as our Li Wei. So why to take the pain, when I can have her with me every time I want. And don't forget, I am her godmother, no less than you. And she loves me too".

She said, giving an attitude as she brought her arms up to fold in front of her chest. "Hehe … that's true Mama! Aunt Yi Lan is the best and she is my godmother, same as Cinderella had a Fairy Godmother. So loving and caring to me".

At this moment, a sweet voice came from the door, making the two women turn to look at the little girl who had come back with a big smile on her face. Sprinting her way to them, Li Wei quickly got her arms wrapped around Feng Yi Lan's legs as her short height only allowed her that much length. "Aunt Yi Lan is the best Aunt in this world and Li Wei loves her very much"

Getting such high praises from the little one, Feng Yi Lan lips curled up. She looked at her friend raising her brows to show her, how right she had been about it? The smile on her face saying, 'Look, I told you. I am her best Aunt. Do I still need a baby when I already have one with me?'

Seeing her friend like this, Li Xue was left with no words. Shaking her head internally, she smiled and gestured to them to continue. This little bun can always be the best cure for any pain.

Feng Yi Lan sat back on the couch as she pulled the little girl with her, making her side-straddle on her lap. "Ahh, how can an Aunt not be nice when the baby herself is so nice and pretty?" She said, placing a soft peck on Little Li Wei's cheek.

The little girl would have smiled at her kiss to show her gratitude but her little eyes caught something that both the ladies were trying to hide from her. Getting off her lap with one jump, she turned to look at her Aunt, very minutely, like she was studying and trying to understand some mathematical problem.

Both the ladies were a little confused at first but soon Li Xue understood what was up with her little princess as she saw her little hands reaching up to hold Yi Lan's face lightly. "Aunt Yi Lan, were you upset before? Why did you cry? Your eyes are so red and puffed."

Feng Yi Lan's eyes got still for a while as she turned to look at her friend who was now giving a helpless smile to her. "I said before her eyes are too sharp. She can always see through the emotion, you want to hide from her" the mother said, showing her understanding about her daughter.

Yi Lan had thought to say something in reply to her friend's words but Little Li Wei was becoming a little impatient with her. Pulling her face back to look into her eyes she asked all again. "Aunt Yi Lan, you don't have to hide it from me. I am not a not that small kid who won't be able to understand my loving Aunt's feelings and emotions. My Mama has always taught me to be empathetic, so I can always understand you and comfort you".

Those words when rolled out of Li Wei's mouth, it sent a wave of assurance to Yi Lan's heart. Though she knew that the little soul was too small to understand the complexities of the adults, still her words were capable of providing that warmth which many matured people failed to give.

"Ayee, who called my chipmunk to be small. Of course, my baby can't be small. She is far more sensible than anyone else around. And sweetheart, there is nothing your aunt is hiding from you. I was just calculating my scores with your Mama. She left me all alone here, so I just got a little mad at her. And you tell me, didn't your mother do wrong to me? Not informing me that I have such a cute baby like you?"

As she ended her words, her cheeks puffed up and her lips formed a pout to deepen the effect of her complaints. Li Wei's eyes went to look at her mother as she said, nodding her head in agreement. "You are right, Aunt Yi Lan! Li Wei is also sad that she can't meet her good Aunt early before".

Li Xue also sighed at the side. She knew that what she did was wrong, but still if given a choice now, she would not hesitate in doing the same. Because the feeling she felt at that time was something that she simply could not explain and reason out. Being in solitude was the only escape she felt to lessen the pain of betrayal and loss at that time.

Though she knew how much her baby would love to be in the family, she could not bring her to meet them. To meet the selfish family she once had here. Sighing internally, she was about to apologize to her princess for not providing her with the happiness of proper family but before she could bring up her words, she heard her saying, "But Mama can never be wrong. She must have her reasons behind if she kept the baby away from so many good people".
