Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 557 - Favorite Hazelnut Chocolate Bars.



At backstage,

Li Xue's eyes wandered everywhere in search of her princess, but it was seeming all tough to find the little head amidst the crowds, especially when everyone was scattered all over the room.

Suddenly, she saw someone raising her hands to wave at her. Though she has yet to see the face of the lilliput, she already knew who it could be. Of course, it won't be hard for her to identify her little devil even in the millions of people. She has birthed her, after all.

Her lips curled up to give a curve of a smile as she finally saw her eyes twinkling at her. But then her brows wrinkled when found someone standing near her. Wasn't that the same lady customer from Sweet Delicacy? Why was she here? Li Xue thought to herself as paced her steps to walk to them.

"Mama!" Little Li Wei called as she saw her mother coming near to her. Running to her she quickly wrapped her arms around her mother. "Mama, did I say everything well on the stage?" She asked, blinking her eyes while straining her neck to look up at her mother.

Li Xue gave a smile of assurance while putting her hand lightly over her head to caress her hair. "You did well, sweetie!" She said lovingly only to see her baby smile more heartily at her.

But then her eyes darted to look behind at the lady. Though she has met her only once in her life, that one time was enough to keep her in the memories.

"I think you still remember me, Chef Li. It doesn't seem long ago since we last met, right?" The lady said, with a mysterious smile.

For some reasons, even in that mysterious smile of hers, Li Xue could not find herself getting uncomfortable. Like that smile never has been intended to make her ill at ease, rather has just focused to make her more curious than before.

Reciprocating the smile with her own, she said, "Yep, I could never forget Our Memories' Delight. So, I guess yes, your face is still all vivid in my memories, Ms. …"

"Ms Yana!" The woman completed Li Xue's words. "Sorry, last time I didn't get time to introduce myself," She said, keeping her expressions intact with a smile but that smile soon turned into a chuckle when saw the pair of eyes, staring at her suspiciously.

"Haha … don't look at me like that, Chef Li. I was born in Chiboa but I don't live here. Yana is my English name and people usually call me with that". She clarified, knowing exactly what the woman at the front must be thinking. Because at the end of the day, her facial features yet have not changed, even after living in a foreign land for more than a decade.

Li Xue was taken aback for a moment. Did she just get read by her? But her trance broke when she felt a light tug on her dress from downward. Her eyes at once moved to look at her daughter down.

"Mama, do you know this Prettiest Grandma already? Is she not a dangerous stranger for WeiWei?" the little one asked from down her height when she heard the conversation happening between her mother and the prettiest grandmother, she has met not long before.

At her words, the mother felt herself getting stumped. Prettiest Grandma! When did the little one get to name the lady like that?

While Yun Yuchun was quite amused with the little girl's words. Breaking a peal of chuckle, she got onto her knees to get herself to the height of the little one and asked, turning her towards her, "Aye, didn't you just call me the prettiest, then how come now, you are calling me dangerous? Were you sweet-talking me before?".

She asked and WeiWei at once shook her head. Her expressions, all serious, not giving any hint of playfulness behind. "No, no, I heard my mother say that most of the time, sweet-talking is lies and Li Wei never lies. So, earlier, Li Wei was not sweet-talking to you, Prettiest Grandma!"

"Really?" The woman asked with a suspicious gaze and the little one at once nodded with honesty.

"Really! Maybe Li Wei is a sweet girl that's why you might have misunderstood my words as sweet-talking. Otherwise, I am very honest with my words. I found you truly as the Prettiest Grandma, so I called you the same. But at the same time, I have heard Mama say that strangers are dangerous, thus, I was confirming with her."

Little Li Wei explained all innocently and patiently, making the woman's eyes go small with adoration.

Then she again turned to look at her mother and raised a curious brow of askance at her.

Li Xue also looked at her daughter. She knew there must be a tale behind but asking the tale at this moment of time doesn't seem to be the right option. So, just nodding her head with a yes, she explained to her princess. "She is not a dangerous stranger, WeiWei. Mama has met her at the dessert shop once. But we are not that close"

She said, while her eyes went again to stare at the lady. Her words have remained all curt, clearly drawing a visible line to let the woman know the reality well. Let her know that even after hyping so much curiosity in her heart, Li Xue still considers her to be a stranger, whom neither she knew well, nor deem to see the vice versa.

The lady smiled meaningfully, understanding exactly the meaning Li Xue was trying to converse with her words.

"Yes, Li Wei, do you hear that? I might be a stranger but I am not the dangerous one. So, I guess now, you could accept my chocolates", Yun Yuchun said again, bringing up five bars of big chocolates to the girl.

Little WeiWei looked at her mother in askance. Though the chocolate bars were of her favourite hazelnut flavours, she still needs to ask her mother to be sure of it.

Li Xue looked at her daughter's asking gaze. "Ms Yana, don't take me rude. But I am just curious, what made you bring my daughter her favourite chocolate bars?"
