As Little WeiWei sliced the cake, everyone around clapped, cheered, and congratulated her. By now, not just her little friends but all the other guests have also arrived. Since Chen Rui and Shin Tingming had so things related to the royal court, they weren't able to co. In place of them, Shin You Jun has arrived to have all the fun at his niece's birthday party.
And finding him there enjoying the ti like that, the relatives were all dumbfounded. They wanted to know about his relationship with Li Xue but no one had any information about it and they have yet to get the opportunity to ask the woman themselves. So, they could only wait to find the opportunity.
Once the cake was cut, WeiWei slowly turned to look at everyone with a smile. Feng Yu Hao was happy to see his granddaughter. Although he has gone to et her at her school recently, still every ti he sees her face, he couldn't help but be more happy. After all, which grandfather wouldn't love his granddaughter?
Grandchildren have been called the second childhood of the grandparents for a reason. There has been aning to it. All this life the parents remain busy with their work and are hardly able to make ti for their children to grow. But scenarios change when parents beco grandparents. Not only do they see their grandchildren grow up but they also live the sa age as them.
And at the mont, Feng Yu Hao was experiencing the sa. With WeiWei in front of his eyes, he would always find the ti getting rrier. "Little one, co and take the gift from your grandfather first." He said and the little one turned to look at him, before looking at her mother.
Li Xue understood what her daughter was asking for. So, giving a smile, she nodded to her. And just after her nod, the little one walked up to the old man with a smile.
They exchanged a few conversations before WeiWei walked around to others to receive their gifts as well. Behind her, a maid walked to help her with gifts. Li Xue wanted to go along, but Feng Shufen kept her beside him, asking her to allow the maid instead.
"But Mr. Beelzebub, we can't stand aside and let the guests be on their own. We need to go and visit them at least once in the evening. Even your father is here and I have not yet gone to greet him. It won't look good like this." Li Xue said reasonably before turning to look at the man beside her to check the response.
But sensing his nonchalant attitude towards her words, it almost felt like all her said words had fallen to the deaf's ears. "Mr. Beelzebub, you …"
"Shh. Stay quiet for now. I will take you around to greet everyone in due ti." Hushing her quiet, Feng Shufen said and at both his tone and words, Li Xue couldn't help but be speechless.
She opened her mouth to say sothing but not able to find proper words for a good mont of ti, she closed it before opening it again to say, "Mr. Beelzebub, did your eyesight get so problem? Check once again. I am Li Xue, not Weiwei, whom you have to take everywhere around."
Feng Shufen turned to look at her and stared for a mont before saying. "WeiWei calls Daddy Angel while you call Beelzebub. Both my eyes and ears are working well."
"You …"
"Now, stay quiet. They are all looking at you. You won't want them to see the little wife you are at ho," Before Li Xue could say more, with a straight face Feng Shufen reminded her about her surroundings. After which Li Xue could no longer say more.
Holding her expression in check, she muttered under her breath before turning back to look at the front. "You sure know how to play tricks even in front of so many people. Let this party get over first, I will then deal with you."
Feng Shufen didn't say anything and she assud his silence to be his agreent. After a while, as he had said, holding Li Xue's hands in his, he walked to greet his father first. "Father!" Two of them greeted together. Although Feng Shufen's attitude was as usual aloof with his father, Li Xue has kept herself warm, particularly balancing the combined effect they were bringing.
Feng Yu Hao smiled and nodded to them before striking so small conversations. Zhen Qinrou was also standing there, but the vibe that she was holding today was all different. There was maddening courage in her deanor that could easily be noticed by naked eyes. Many noticed it there, yet none cared to ask the reason behind it. And this itself explains the position she held in the family.
Li Xue noticed her and her expression changed. Although she didn't want to rember things at the mont, still the mont she caught the sight of Zhen Qinrou, all the things that she had heard from Feng Yi Lan replayed in his ears.
Still not making things too obvious, she put on a small smile and turned to greet her. "Mrs. Feng!" And the title of address didn't struck her until she felt the gaze of Feng Yu Hao halting at her. When she realized it, she was about to correct it but from the side, Feng Shufen stopped her.
Pressing her hands, he shook his head at her as he said, "It's okay. You don't have to force yourself." He said, and his words stunned Feng Yu Hao for a mont. Even though he knew that his son had never taken his wife as his mother, he also knew that Shufen would not give out his thoughts to others just like that. Sothing must have happened to make him despise Zhen Qinrou so openly.
Feng Yu Hao looked at his son before turning to Zhen Qinrou to ask, "Did sothing happen? Did you do sothing?"
Zhen Qinrou couldn't help but scoff internally. She wasn't dumb to not read around the lines of her husband. People might have taken those two questions casually for a mont, but she knew well that he was already suspicious of her. She knew this would happen sooner or later, so today she ca all prepared.
Turning to Feng Yu Hao, she was ready to speak sothing but before she could, Li Xue interrupted, "Father, there are still little guests around. We have inford their parents to send them back to their respective hos on ti. So, please allow and Shufen to go first and send them off." She said politely, before looking at the old man.
She didn't know how things would have ended up if she had not interrupted in between. But she knew one thing with so many kids especially WeiWei around, she can't let the ugly things co out. She has always kept her princess away from such things and she can't let her witness all this.
Feng Yu Hao guessed sothing in between her words, but he didn't say anything. Simply nodding to her, he said, "Kids should be sent to their hos on ti. You should go and look after them." He said and Li Xue smiled before turning to leave.
But when she saw Feng Shufen unmoving, she asked, "What happened? Didn't you ask to accompany you the whole evening? Then are you letting go on my own now?"
Feng Shufen was having his cold gaze fixed on Zhen Qinrou. When he heard Li Xue say sothing, he turned to look at her. And she blinked at him with so assurance.
"WeiWei's friends must be waiting. As her parents, we would need to bid them goodbye and see the arrangents of sending them ho." She said and Feng Shufen nodded to her. Then turning his back, he walked away with her.
On the way, Li Xue couldn't help but give a big sigh of relief. Then turning slightly at Feng Shufen, she said, "Mr. Beelzebub, what were you planning just now? Will you care to tell ? Were you planning to expose her?"
Feng Shufen didn't hide and nodded with nonchalance. "Eventually. She has done enough and it is now her ti to pay."
Li Xue was slightly taken aback. Although she understood him, still … there were children around. And also, Feng Yi Lan. "Wouldn't that be cruel"
Feng Shufen paused in his steps and turned to look at her to say, "Cruel?"
Li Xue nodded and gestured to him to look at Feng Yi Lan, who was not standing too far away, rather close enough with Qi Shuai, Feng Yi Ran, and Chen Yujian. "She is still her mother. It would be cruel to her. We should think twice just for her."
But Feng Shufen was more than firm in his stance. Shaking his head, he at once disapproved, "If we let her stay here for longer, she would be crueler than anything. So, to put an end, this would be necessary. Sooner, the better. Also, there is sothing that I want to tell you. After sending off the kids, let's talk." he said and once again turned to walk.
Although Li Xue followed along with him, still she felt sothing amiss. For the first ti, while talking to her, Feng Shufen avoided her gaze. What was it that he was about to talk to her? Sothing crucial was there, she knew. But what could it be, she had no idea?
