Bab 57: Their Deepest Thought

Feng Xiao Qing who was caught ogling her boss quickly shut her eyes and stuttered, "I... I didn't see anything!" She wanted to bang her head to any hard object around. How stupid is she? Lu Yi Feng must have seen through her lie! She was clearly looking at his body up and down... up and down! Unless the man was blind, then he would surely know that she was admiring his body.

Lu Yi Feng only coldly looked at her and turned his gaze away. He leisurely walked to his walk-in closet and chose a long-sleeved sweater and long pants to wear. He asked curiously, "Why both of you are so fast when taking a bath?"

"Er... I feel that it's already late and we are pretty tired," Feng Xiao Qing explained. However, to her, it was actually him who took too long when taking a bath!

Lu Yi Feng only nodded and didn't say anything more. After this night, he would kick back the mother and daughter pair to their own room and would not easily make a promise to Xiao Xi Xi. After all, he felt that his private life had been invaded too much by them.

After finished wearing his clothes, Lu Yi Feng said, "Open your eyes! Let's go to sleep... I have a meeting tomorrow morning and you also need to start your training."

Feng Xiao Qing nodded and opened her eyes. Both her and Xiao Xi Xi was dumbfounded at what they saw. "Bo... Boss... don't you feel hot in that get-up?" Somehow, she thought that Lu Yi Feng was indeed a bit eccentric and weird...

"Uncle... do you want to sleep or to go on a holiday? This is not Antartica..."

Feng Xiao Qing and Xiao Xi Xi didn't know whether they should laugh or cry. Did Lu Yi Feng play a prank to them?!

They saw Lu Yi Feng wearing full winter gears --- gloves, hat, socks, and shawl. They could only see his face... Lu Yi Feng didn't care about how silly he looked like. As long as he was safe from body contact, other things didn't matter to him.

"I'm fine. I get used to it," Lu Yi Feng didn't want to explain himself, so he turned off the lamp and sleep on his side. Xiao Xi Xi slept between them. Lu Yi Feng turned his body so only his back facing Xiao Xi Xi. Lu Yi Feng felt lucky that the hat covered up his ears or they would know that he was actually feeling embarrassed to death!!

Feng Xiao Qing and Xiao Xi Xi looked at each other, not knowing what to say. Did he really sleep like this all the time? But, they didn't dare to ask any more questions. However, they shook their head and giggled to themselves.

It seemed like the little chirpy bird wasn't sleepy yet. Xiao Xi Xi kept talking her day with Feng Xiao Qing and Lu Yi Feng couldn't sleep because of that. He let them be and closed his eyes. He took it as his lullaby to sleep and yes... their talking voice sounded like a lullaby to him and he finally fell asleep. Lu Yi Feng didn't realize that he slept with a smile on his face after listening to Xiao Xi Xi's stories.

Xiao Xi Xi had never felt so comfortable when sleeping. She knew that Uncle Yi Feng didn't really want to sleep with them and he gave her his back, but in her heart, his presence was the most important thing. Even though this was probably only a one-time thing, but she would cherish this feeling forever.

Feng Xiao Qing accompanied Xiao Xi Xi talked until the little chirpy bird fell asleep. She knew that letting herself and her daughter sleep with a man that they had just known was a bad decision, however, she would indulge Xiao Xi Xi's wish this once. She didn't feel afraid of Lu Yi Feng, because she knew that she had the capabilities to protect both of them if Lu Yi Feng tried something. Not only that, but she also believed in Lu Yi Feng's personalities.

Lu Yi Feng probably didn't remember, but he saved her once --- from Lu Min Cheng's clutch. Without this assurance, she wouldn't indulge Xiao Xi Xi's request of sleeping together --- even if she had to let her cry and throw a tantrum.

There was another reason for her to agree to Xiao Xi Xi's silly demand. Feng Xiao Qing remembered one time, she found a doodle in Xiao Xi Xi's room. It was a man and a woman sleeping together, between them there was a little girl. Xiao Xi Xi wrote some things with her messy handwriting, after all, she could only write a few words.

Mommy -- Xi Xi -- Daddy.

The nanny told her that Xiao Xi Xi said for once, she wanted to feel having a full happy family. When she saw a scene on TV where the daddy and mommy tucked a child into bed and slept together, she would cry but she never allowed the nanny to tell Feng Xiao Qing.

How could Feng Xiao Qing not know about Xiao Xi Xi's sadness? She knew perfectly clear. When the nanny told her about it, Feng Xiao Qing cried herself to sleep. She was always wondering whether she made the right decision.

Feng Xiao Qing knew that she wasn't a perfect mother, but she had also tried her hardest to fulfill the role of father and mother at the same time. But it seemed like... it wasn't really working. Xiao Xi Xi still missed her father's presence.

The three of them thought of the same thing --- just this once... After that, they would be back to their normal routine...
