Chapter 1338 WeiWei would be safe.
Since WeiWei was up in the arms of Li Xue. So, the moment Li Xue winced and her body stiffened, the little one felt it. All this while even though she has kept her eyes and ears closed, the little one had the inkling that there was something wrong around. Otherwise, her Mama would never stand and wouldn't wrap her arms around her when she sees her crying.Also, when her Mama came to hug her earlier on the chair, she felt her body trembling slightly. Knowing her mother best, she knew her Mama only trembles when she is either crying or angry. Since she heard her speaking, she must not be crying but rather angry.
So, with all contemplation, Little WeiWei already knew something was wrong. But she was calm seeing that her mother was there with her but now, the little one sensed something terribly wrong.
Opening her eyes, she pulled back from the crook of her mother's neck to look at her face. "Mama, what happened? Are you fine? Are you hurting somewhere?"
Li Xue looked at the worried face of her daughter as sweat trickled down from her forehead. She smiled and shook her head but at the same time, her jaws clenched for Zhang Xiaotong being cruel, twisting the knife through her muscle. She held the wince to not scare her baby and said, "Sweetie, Mama is perfectly fine. Don't worry. We will get out of here soon. Just sleep on my shoulders."
But this time the little one was not to ease down. From the corner of her eyes, she caught sight of Lillian lying on the floor in the puddle of blood. Her eyes widened in horror as the color drained her complexion while her breathing quickened.
Seeing the terrified expression of her daughter, Li Xue understood what would have come to the sight of her princess. "WeiWei close your eyes. Don't look there. The place is dirty. Once we get out of here, mama will send someone to clean it up, okay?"
"M-Mama, what happened to that sister. Did she …" WeiWei was too young to learn the term death. Even though she had heard of the word, she never knew what it meant exactly. The only thing she knew was that the small words bring too much grief, so she tried to not use the words carelessly. And in search of appropriate words, she went silent.
But the silence didn't stay for long as to scare the little innocent heart of the girl, Zhang Xiaotong cruelly said, "She is dead."
WeiWei's eyes brimmed with tears as she looked at her mother with confusion. "M-Mama, what is death? Is it something bad?" She asked and with her question like that, a burst of hysterical laughter left Zhang Xiaotong.
Li Xue turned to glare at Zhang Xiaotong. But remaining all unfazed to all, she continued, "Ahh, poor kid! Didn't your mother teach you what death is?"
WeiWei didn't turn to look at her. Instead, she just stared at her mother, looking for the answer.
When Zhang Xiaotong saw her getting in the tough position, she was satisfied. After all, this was the first time she made Li Xue like this. Otherwise, every time the woman has remained unfazed.
Twisting the knife more into her she made Li Xue cringe slightly on her side as she spoke, "Little one, your mother won't speak. Let me tell you instead. Death means a person's disappearance. She or he would never appear back in your life. That sister is dead and now it's time for your mother. Want to see how?"
Tears rolled down the eyes of the little one. But before Li Xue could say anything to ease her daughter. Zhang Xiaotong viciously said, attracting her attention to the knife that she was holding in her body.
"Like this? See with this stab itself, your mother will be gone."
WeiWei looked down and burst up, recoiling in the arms of her mother, "M-Mama, WeiWei is scared. Why is this aunty speaking like this? She has hurt you and now she is saying that you would leave WeiWei and WeiWei would not be able to see you again. T-This isn't right. You are not going to leave WeiWei, right?"
Li Xue was in pain. Although the stab was cruel, the pain that was stinging her was not alone from it. Rather what hurt her more was seeing her daughter like that. Her tears pierced her heart. At this moment she wasn't sure if she would survive, but her motherly instinct gave her the power to hold her pain to protect her daughter from all pain.
Grimacing, she endured the pain as she slowly patted her back, ignoring Zhang Xiaotong. "Sweetie, do you think Mama can leave you?" The little one paused for a moment but then shook her head. A small curl crept on Li Xue's lips as soothing the back of her daughter she spoke, "Mama is not going to leave you, sweetie. You are everything to Mama. Where would she go leaving you."
She said and her words angered Zhang Xiaotong. She wanted to see her begging in pain yet the woman stood there enduring it like she was not at all affected. How thick-skinned was she?
Thinking the pain was not enough, evilness deepened on the expression of Zhang Xiaotong as she cruelly pulled out the knife in one go.
Li Xue couldn't hold her cry any longer. She gasped in pain as her eyes shot red with tears. "Ah!" Blood gushed out her body and splattered on the floor.
When WeiWei heard her mother gasp, her arms tightened around her neck as she slowly said in between her sobs. "M-Mama, Daddy Angel must be looking for us. Let's go to him."
Li Xue understood the pain and fear in the voice of her princess. She wanted to cry, but instead of taking a deep breather, she nodded and hummed. "Yes, sweetie. We should go and meet him fast. Hold Mama tight now and don't open your eyes until I talk to you again, okay?"
WeiWei didn't speak but nodded. While Li Xue turned to look sharply at Zhang Xiaotong. Maliciousness was written on her face, making her look ugly, but Li Xue was not scared of it. The moment was extreme. She wanted to take her daughter out first.
Zhang Xiaotong might have read her expression at that moment, for she said, "Li Xue, just give up. You won't be able to survive out here. Don't worry about your daughter. Once I send you, I will let her follow you as well. As for Brother FenFen, I will make another baby with him. And will surely make him forget both of you."
She said as she lunged forward again to stab Li Xue. But this time, Li Xue was alert enough. Holding her daughter tight, she said, "WeiWei, hold Mama tight and don't let go." And then the next moment, her movement came swiftly to kick hard on the hand of Zhang Xiaotong.
Before the woman could react, Li Xue turned again to give another kick on her abdomen. At once sending her down on the floor to recoil in pain. "Li Xue, you …"
"Zhang Xiaotong, did you really think I would let your malicious intentions reach my daughter? Even if I have to give up today, I will keep her safe. So, never think of putting your hands on her."
She said and was ready to walk away when suddenly she saw the men come back. They haven't left earlier but rather have come with more. As Li Xue scanned the people, she slowly put down WeiWei and pulled her to the corner. "Sweetie, hold on for some time. Mama will handle them. If you feel scared, close your eyes, okay?" She said and seeing the girl nodded, she smiled and caressed her cheeks.
Once WeiWei agreed, Li Xue quickly downed the men one after the other. As she had assumed earlier, they weren't skilled like the ones in Jing Wei Jin's group. So, defeating them was not a problem. What took time was the wound on the side of her stomach. With her every movement, the flow of blood was increasing,
Until the time everyone was settled, Li Xue was already feeling light-headed. Her gaze was becoming blurry. But at that moment, someone's soft hands touched hers. She looked down and saw her princess, looking at her. Worry was written in her little eyes.
"Mama, are you fine? You have turned pale."
Li Xue smiled and shook her head, "I am fine, sweetie. Come on, let's go. We need to leave first." She said as she scooped Li Wei up in her arms and left.
But after leaving the warehouse, she was stunned. Earlier while coming here, she had not noticed but now she was realizing why the warehouse was so secluded. It was not just someplace up in the forest mountains, rather, it was located at the edge of the cliff.
From here, wouldn't it be tough to get any lift? How was she going to reach Shufen? She wasn't in the position to walk for long. Just anytime, she might get …
Just as the thought struck her, from a distance, she heard the sound of the engine stopping. Her eyes turned to look and not long after she saw a familiar face coming up in her direction. Relief washed her expression as finally, she thought there was no longer darkness of dread around. With him around, WeiWei would be safe.

The book is about to end now. I thought to end it this month. But then as you all know; I have to shift to a different city for my studies which I have done last week and that's why the updates stopped for a meanwhile. Shifting to the new city took a toll on me. I fell ill terribly, and the updates were further delayed. All of this was not my intention but it happened.

Before last month, my CE informed me that the book could get the highest ending event that would include exclusive badge, frames and other benefits for readers. And I was so excited for it thinking that my hard work of the two years would be well paid off. But recently that I have not released a few days, she informed me that the stats of the book dropped and not it's not enough to get the big event. I really wanted the book to get one and there is still some hope. But for that I would need all of your help. In return, I will try to release more chaps.
So, please if you think that I and the book deserve this, please help me support it with votes and gifts. Your every vote and gift will make a change, so vote and gift it. The book has never received any big gift, if anyone of you think that it has deserved one then please gift one. Sorry for the shamelessness, this is the first time I am asking it.
