Chapter 240 - Air of hostility in her little eyes.
Li Xue had no idea how she should react to all this. Her friend has used her brother\'s name to book a reservation for his girlfriend\'s blind date. When did her friend become so bold to accept the coming consequences of all this? Even if her friend was ready to embrace all of it there is no way she, herself, was ready to take Mr Beelzebub\'s possessiveness.
Though the thought of him being possessive excites her to the core, still she couldn\'t bear to see that coming so early in their relationship. Their relationship has already paced like a superfast train where she can\'t even get any time to register the things that happened between them.
"Mama, what\'s a blind date?" Li Wei asked looking up at both her mother and Aunt in confusion. All this while she was busy looking at the shiny lights around but when heard her mother\'s panicked low scream, she turned to question them. Without knowing the meaning of the words she won\'t be able to help her mother. She needed to know before thinking of a way.
Feng Yi Lan smiled as she looked down at the little girl. Then kneeling to get on her height, she caressed her head lightly as she said, "Baby, blind dates are good arrangements that bring lots of happiness and joys in one\'s life if everything goes well. I have arranged your mother for one. If it goes well then soon you will have a father in your life. How good will that be? Right?"
The little girl tugged her head to both of her sides, thinking something deep in her head. Then looking up at her mother\'s helpless face, she reverted it at her Aunt Yi Lan, notifying her all innocently.
"Aunt Yi Lan, I already have Daddy Angel in my life. Why would I need another father? I have one Mama, so likewise I can only have one Daddy Angel. Same as my other friends at school have".
Hearing such an innocent reason from her baby, Li Xue wanted to scratch her hair out. Now, how should she clear all this mess? Her friend, her daughter and also Mr Beelzebub! How should she explain everything to them?
To Feng Yi Lan, she needs to know that she was no more single to go on blind dates. To her daughter, she has to explain that she was right and she will only have her Daddy Angel as her father and at last but most important, Mr Beelzebub. Though he was not present at the scene still she can feel his possessive intimidating aura around.
"Hey, chipmunk! That\'s not your true Daddy. But don\'t worry, you will get one soon. I will help you find one as I said before. Believe your Aunt, okay?" She said as she sent a wink to her friend.
Little Li Wei also turned to look at her mother as if demanding some explanation. Her little eyes were becoming glassy for some reasons about which Li Xue knew very well.
Rolling her eyes at Feng Yi Lan, Li Xue lightly patted the head of her daughter assuring her. "Sweetie, let Mama talk to Aunt Yi Lan!" She said and Li Wei instantly moved to her mother\'s side to timidly hold her hand and stay back.
Her soft expression looked complicated. The little-put has made a barrier around herself that has blocked everyone from looking at what she was feeling inside. Though Li Xue knew what was running in her angel\'s head, she had no time at the moment to deal with it. She needs to explain things better to her friend first.
And for the time being, she knew her daughter will remain to stick to her side for better, given to the possessive side she holds inside her for her Mama.
"Yi Lan, what is all this? Didn\'t I say that I am not at all interested in all this? Cancel the plans and let\'s go back home first. We can talk about it later. We …" Li Xue said in a little hurried tone but her voice died down when she saw her friend shaking her head against her.
"No, no sweetheart! We are not going anywhere", Feng Yi Lan said, denying her friend\'s suggestions at once.
"Yi Lan, listen to me first. I already have someo…" Li Xue tried to convince her but Feng Yi Lan did not give any time or opportunity to her.
Pulling her inside the restaurant, she said, "Li Xue, don\'t be a spoilsport here. It\'s just a blind date, not like I directly got to marry you off. I know the man I have chosen for you is good but you don\'t have to get serious about it. Let\'s go and meet him first. You always have a privileged choice of showing that you are not interested in him. Furthermore, the guy is not someone unfamiliar to you."
Li Xue halted in her steps for a second, trying to understand this new revelation. Raising her brows, she simply asked, "Not unfamiliar to me? Who else have you pulled in this childish game of yours, Yi Lan?"
Feng Yi Lan also turned to look back at her friend when heard her unconfident words.?Scrunching her shoulders up and then shrugging it back leisurely, she said in nonchalance. "What childish game are you talking about? Blind dates come only after the boys and girls reach their maturity age. There is nothing childish here. And do you really think I need to beg or pull someone into this?"
"Huh!! How na?ve! Sweetheart, you are that flower of the garden who will never lack butterflies around. Now come, don\'t think too much. It is just dinner. Time will fly and before you know, you will already be at your home"
She said and Li Xue pursed her lips. This was just a dinner and nothing was wrong in giving this a try, then why was she still getting a feeling that all this will not be getting any easier at the end. That … there was still something left to get unveiled before the darkness of this night ends.
At this moment, the sound of approaching footsteps from behind made the two women turn their head in the direction. Li Xue\'s eyes got narrowed a little, trying to identify the man in front. He was dressed casually but in appropriate clothes, giving an air of familiarity. After giving some time to recognize him, a particular name mumbled out her lips. "S – Su Fai!"
The man smiled at her remembrance as he nodded in acceptance. "Li Xue, it\'s been long. But you are still the same", Su Fai said, coming closer to the ladies. His eyes catching the sight of the little one who was holding an unknown air of hostility in her eyes for him. Her grey eyes were simply asking him to stay away from her possession … the possession she has held all dearly with her little hands.
