917: Sweetest apology.

Sweetest apology.

Soon at the breakfast table, Li Xue was sitting with Feng Shufen. Her eyes looked around to check what the surprise was all about. And just by a look, it was clear enough to say that it was all about the breakfast. But there was still a doubt in her eyes with which she worriedly peeked into the kitchen, where it was nothing clear.  2

Feng Shufen looked at her like that and cooly said, "Don't worry. She is your daughter, she will be fine in the kitchen. That's her domain." 

Li Xue looked at his nonchalant attitude and nodded. But then shaking her head, she said, "That's her first time in the kitchen, Mr. Beelzebub. No area could be proved to be one's domain by birth, they need to get proper skills for that. And right now, my devilic-angel is having her first time with the stove. I can't be sure of it." 

"She has Sister Margaret with her. She would be fine." Feng Shufen again said, still in his calmest attitude and looking at him so easy, Li Xue could not help but ask. 

"Hey, Mr. Beelzebub, aren't you too confident in her?" 

The man stared at her and nodded, "She is our daughter. What do you think? She is born to be like us." He said and in his words, something sounded amiss. Li Xue's eyes narrowed at it as well and she was about to ask about it but right at the moment, an excited voice not from too far away interrupted her thoughts. 

"Mama, Surprise!! WeiWei is ready with your favorite breakfast." The little girl said as with her stubby legs she managed to come out of the kitchen with a tray all on her own. Sister Margaret followed her from behind and given her struggling expression it was easy to guess that the little one had worried her sick in the kitchen. 

Li Xue knew her princess too well to know that. She smiled at her little one before turning to ask the old lady first. "Sister Margaret, did she trouble you too much?" 

The old lady shook her head, reciprocating with a smile. "No, Madam. Little young miss was all cautious in the kitchen. It was just that I was too worried for her. But she did well. I didn't have to guide her for anything. She has learned your recipe well and has prepared everything on her own." She said and Li Xue looked at the little girl with all surprise. 

"Huh? Really?" She was not expecting to hear that. But given her daughter's high-graded skills and learning, she could not bring herself to doubt it as well. Smiling, she asked her little one, with all contentment. After all, which mother would not like to hear the achievements and praises of her daughter. "What did you cook, my precious?" 

Little Li Wei smiled and took the difficulty to place the tray on the dining table. Seeing her struggle, Sister Margaret came forward to help her but before she could Feng Shufen was already there for her daughter. Helping her with the tray first, he lifted her up to put her comfortably on her seat before getting himself back at his chair. 

The little girl smiled as her eyes didn't leave her mother's face. "Mama, I prepared your favorite breakfast." She said as her hands quickly reached to lift the lid up to show the breakfast she prepared. "WeiWei has prepared Mama's special favorite chocolate pancakes." 

She revealed and Li Xue's eyes went to look in the plate where pancakes were plated well and were looking delicious. Fluffy and light!

But wait! Did she say that it was her favorite? Li Xue couldn't help but laugh at her devilic-angel's devilishness. 

"Sweetie, from when did chocolate pancakes become my favorite? Aren't they your favorite?" Controlling her chuckle, Li Xue asked, raising her eyes to look at her daughter. Behind, Sister Margaret was also not able to control her chuckle. Of course, whoever knows the little one would know better as to who loves to have chocolate pancakes in her breakfast. 

Feeling herself getting caught red-handed, WeiWei pretended to ponder for some moment before saying with eyes and face full of innocence. "Mama, WeiWei remembered that Mama loves to have salad in her breakfast with some extra broccoli. But they are so bland and tasteless. How could WeiWei present her sincerest apology with a bland taste? Since WeiWei is the sweetest to her mother, her apology should also be sweet. So with much thought, I have prepared these sweet, fluffy pancakes for you, that is just like me."

"Now that pancakes are like me, how could my prettiest Mama reject it. She must love it the same as she loves me". The little girl said, giving a serious nod of understanding. And looking at her defending herself with such seriousness, Li Xue didn't know what else to say. 

Could she even reason her out after those sensible words? No, definitely not! 

Nodding, she pressed a smile and said, "Of course, there is no way, I couldn't like it. I like it the most. Let's begin. I am sure my WeiWei has kept the flavor very particular of it, right?"

The little girl smiled and nodded. "Yep, Mama. WeiWei has prepared the same way you always prepare it. I have remembered all the steps well." 

Li Xue would never doubt that. How could she doubt when she knew her little devil well? Soon they began the breakfast and as expected and as Mr. Beelzebub's words, the little one did get the kitchen skills from her. 

They were enjoying the meal when her phone rang on the side. Glancing at it she gently wiped her hands and received the call, excusing herself softly. 

"Hello, MengMeng. Good morning" She greeted and in response, heard the girl's over-stressed voice. 

"Good morning, Sister Xue. I am sorry, I wasn't able to reach you yesterday evening. Things got a little messed up in the company and I was busy. But were you able to get the dress for today?" the assistant asked, and hearing her it felt like she was running for something. 

Li Xue hadn't got any idea of what was going on in the company, but still feeling the chaos the girl was talking about, she assured, "Calm down dear! Don't take the stress. I got it managed. You don't have to take the stress about it and also let Sister Xinyi know that everything is fine and I will get to the event on time." She said over the call as her eyes went to look at Feng Shufen for assurance in return. 

And as if the man had understood her gaze, he blinked his eyes once while continuing with his breakfast. Just with that one blink, Li Xue knew the things had gotten managed well.
