章 26: Dear God, send an angel to save me!!

Li Xue looked at her friend who was zoning out suddenly. With her expressions she could tell that she was concerned about something or more like fearful of something.

The car came to a halt when it reached the destination, Little Carnations House number 38. Seeing the car arriving at their new home, Li Wei became excited. She turned to look at the woman who was lost in her own stream of thoughts.

"Aunt Yi Lan we are at our new home", saying that the little girl excitedly urged her mother to open the car doors with her eyes.

Li Xue smiled looking at her daughter's excitement level and then turned to share that smile with her friend but Feng Yi Lan was still drifting in her thoughts. "Yi Lan, is everything fine", she asked, placing her hands over hers.

Sensing the warm touch, Feng Yi Lan was snapped back to reality. She looked at her friend who was looking at her with slight worry in her eyes. Shaking her in denial, she assured her, "Ah silly girl. Of course I am fine. I was just thinking of some ways through which I can spend more and more time with you but there is a mother at my place who is going to reprimand me if I don't get home at time"

Li Xue chuckled at her words. "If you are getting late then we can meet some other day. I still have two days free in my schedule. Don't worry I won't be worrying you this time"

The little girl who was hearing all the conversation between the two ladies, pouted at their words, "Mama, I still haven't shown Aunt Yi Lan our new home. Can I please show her that first then she can go back?"

"But sweetheart, she is getting late. Her mother will be worried for her like I get worried for you when you go out to play in the garden without telling me" Li Xue tried to explain to her daughter. She knew her little angel was getting attached to Feng Yi Lan. This was not only because she was her friend or has bought her so many gifts.

It was because little children can easily sense the genuine love of the people. They can tell who was showing them selfless love and who has malice in their hearts. Though they are very young to understand those malicious feelings but they can always translate things in a way their brain could comprehend.

In the same way, Feng Yi Lan's selfless love and care has also reached the little girl's heart, letting her feel the warmth and security.

When Li Xue explained her daughter things like that, the little girl nodded but her face got upset. She has really wanted to make her new family member stay a little longer with them.

Looking at the upset face of such a cute, adorable girl, Feng Yi Lan could not bring herself to ruin her cheerful mood. She herself has not intended to leave this early but thinking about Li Xue living so close to her brother, she just wanted to go and check at her brother's end.

In a gentle motion, she picked Li Wei up only to place her on her lap and said with a grumpiness pretense, "I am quite disappointed in you, chipmunk. I thought you loved me but I was wrong."

The little girl was all confused with Feng Yi Lan's words but that confusion wasn't visible on her face; only her eyes could tell that and the only one who could read her eyes was able to. And Li Xue can easily see through it too.

It amazes her every time. How efficiently and effectively her daughter hides her expressions? Like she has trained into it professionally and had practiced it for at least 10 years.

"Of course I love you Aunt Yi Lan" the little girl said as he quickly placed a soothing kiss on her cheeks.

"You little, don't you try to bribe me with that sweet kiss. I am truly hurt. If you really wanted me to stay, then you should have said that to me. Why are you asking your mother for that? You should have demanded me and I would have given in to your every demands", Feng Yi Lan said with pursed lips.

"Really?" Little Li Wei's eyes shone brightly. Of course there was no way anyone could resist those cute grey eyes.

"You are still questioning my love?" Feng Yi Lan pinched the little girl's cheeks lightly. It looked so full, soft and chubby that she could not control herself.

Li Wei looked at her mother, smiled and then again turned to wrap her arms around her aunt. Clinging to her neck she said, "Okay then from the next time I am going to ask Aunt Yi Lan directly."

Yi Lan smiled looking at the cheerful expression returning back to her little face. Due to some reasons, she can't see her getting upset. Just meeting her for the first time she was feeling her heart strings getting connected to her heart very deeply.

The three hopped down the car and went inside the house. Since the house was yet to be decorated by Li Xue, it still looked empty. There were many art pieces and furniture placed as per use but that homely feeling was still missing.

The little girl held Feng Yi Lan's hands as she excitedly showed her the different rooms of the house. "Aunt Yi Lan, look, it's so big here. You can always come and live here with us here"

At this time, Li Xue came to them and said "I am going to prepare a simple dinner. Any special demands on that?"

"Mama, will we have dessert too?" the little girl asked expecting that she would get one of her mother's prepared nutty chocolate pudding but she also knew that she already had enough sweets from morning.

"Baby, didn't you have enough sweets for the day. Will it be good if you want another one?" Li Xue didn't reject her directly but let the girl herself know if her demands are right for her.

Little Li Wei shook her head in denial. Her mother has always taught her to have things in proportionate quantity, that way she will always remain healthy. And if she is healthy then her mother will be free from worries. "No, Mama I won't have it today. But please make me a nutty chocolate pudding tomorrow".

Li Xue nodded to her, "Definitely. I will make that for you tomorrow."

Feng Yi Lan looked at the little girl and was very impressed. She was so obedient to her mother's words. She still remembers when she was at her age, never in a day was a time when she didn't throw tantrums.

"Little Chipmunk, are you really going to let go of your pudding that easily. You always plead your mother more and she will make it up to you", she tried to provoke, giving her friend a devilish grin but got speechless when she heard the little girl's next words.

"No, Aunt Yi Lan. I love to follow my mother's words" she said and then turned to her mother, "Mama till you cook the dinner, can I go and walk in the garden outside"

Li Xue Laughed out loud when witnessing the expression of disbelief on her friends face but then turned and nodded to her daughter. "Baby, you can go but return soon. And don't go too far. It's already late and dark outside."

Li Wei smiled and said with a very assuring tone, "Okay Mama. I will just stroll near our house and will return before the dinner is ready" Saying this she went to play in the garden outside.

She was busy looking at the flowers planted at the sides when suddenly a car made its way towards her. Though the speed wasn't too much but the girl was still too little to realize it. Instead of moving away from the path she did the reverse of it.

Blocking her eyes from the glowing headlights, the little girl was prepared to get hit by the car. "Dear God, please send an angel to save me!"
