After having the required explanatory conversation with the principal, both women were quite satisfied with the school's way of educating their students.
The principal was also quite happy to be able to impress them. She has put on all of her skills and professionalism to assure them about the little girl's better future. How can they let go of such a golden opportunity for their school? They can't let this little girl slip away.
The way the little girl was carrying herself in front of everyone was quite remarkable. Just by a look at her they were very sure about her intelligence and an extraordinary brain. How can she not be remarkable after being the daughter of her father? Prodigious skills were running in her blood
Feng Yi Lan and Li Xue looked at each other and made their mind to go forward with the admission process. Reverting their eyes back to the principal, the former said "Okay Mam, we have decided to go on with the admission process today itself."
The principal's eyes instantly glittered with happiness. Inside her heart she was already jumping with joy and leaping with excitement. "Yes, yes sure. It's our honor that we were able to basket such a talented and bright girl in our school. She will sure bring us glory in the future" She said while handing a blank admission form to the mother of the child.
"Thanks for thinking so high of her. She is really intelligent and would never disappoint you in future. Please look after her", Li Xue said with a smile as she took the form from the lady and started filling it with all concentration.
"Of course my chipmunk is the best" Feng Yi Lan said to no one in specific as she swept up the girl on her lap, caressing her head endearingly.
Behaving in her best manners, Little Li Wei gave an adorable smile and didn't say anything.
When the form was filled, Li Xue handed it back to the man who was standing all time beside the principle and was staring at her. The look he was giving to her was both of appreciation and a surprise. Like there was something he wanted to ask her but restraining himself thinking it unsuitable.
Li Xue wasn't the woman who would busy herself with all these things. She would appreciate when someone would take the initiation to clear their thoughts with her but if they don't then she was not the person to probe it herself.
Looking at the man who has previously introduced himself as Mr. Martin, she gave a polite formal smile and handed back the form. Then standing up, she said "We are really happy that our Li Wei has got the opportunity to become a part of your prestigious school. Please look after her"
The principal also stood up in respect and nodded, "Of course! We will take care of her. Please rest assured".
"Okay since the process was really easy and my friend has already completed it, we will now take your leave. We still have some work to attend", Feng Yi Lan said and then took her friend's hand to leave the office.
The moment the women left the room, Mr. Martin called out "Mrs. Feng, you have left a column empty". But it was already late as the women had crossed a quite distance away from them.
The principal turned and looked at her assistant who was about to run after them. Stopping him, she asked "What's the column, she has not filled?"
"Mam, she has left the column mentioning her father's name. Should I go and ask her?", he said keeping his one foot all ready to run after them.
"Why to bother Mrs. Feng with such a small thing? Ms. Feng has already said that they have something urgent waiting. It's just a father's name and we already know who the little girl's father is. Just fill the name and then carry out the further process soon", the principal said as she gestured to him to go and carry out the work fast.
Mr. Martin nodded and took his leave.

At Feng Internationals,
Feng Shufen was busy looking at the files when his secretary came knocking at the door. "President Feng!" Gao Fan gave his greetings of respect and then continued, "Director Qi Shuai has called from Palma de Mallorca, informing that the problem there, has already been resolved and he will be returning back soon"
"What solution did he come up with?", he asked but his eyes were still on the file and his pen going under every line he was reading.
"He has donated an affordable sum of money to an orphanage, 'God's little Angels Orphanage' to eliminate the negative rumors from the air. And also did some other social donations in the name of the company" Gao Fan reported.
But to his astonishment at the end of his words, the divine pen came to a halt. Did he say something wrong? He wanted to ask but the next thing made his words get struck in his throat.
The most soothing chuckle rang in the entire office lifting the cold air up and replacing it with a little warm one. At this moment even the cold and dull décor of the office seemed to become a shade brighter and livelier.
Gao Fan couldn't believe his eyes. In his work life of approx. 9 years in Feng Internationals, he has never seen his President like this. Though he had heard many of his chuckles but those were to make his enemies shiver from fear, not like the one he was hearing now.
Feeling the eye of surprise at him, Feng Shufen himself realized his strangeness in his behavior. Earlier when he had heard his secretary mention the word 'angel', his thoughts took him back to the little girl he had met last evening. Her cute, adorable face and also the way she called him Handsome Angel at the end of every sentence, everything became fresh in his head.
He has never thought that a kid can ever be this adorable. But she was really different. The way her grey eyes looked at him was so different. There wasn't any fear in it rather there was only appreciation.
Was her cuteness and adorableness, an inheritance from her mother?
There were many things that had intrigued him towards the woman and he was going to take his sweet time to reveal them slowly and slowly. It was the first time something apart from his business has caught his interest this hard. And also the way her sister was obsessed with her was urging him to go deeper into her.
Feng Shufen looked at his secretary and ordered, "Gao Fan, schedule my meeting with the foreign clients tomorrow. And also ask the best chefs to prepare the dinner. For desserts, call the new head dessert chef appointed under our label Sweet Delicacy. Make sure everything is perfect and in place"
Any order from him wasn't needed to be repeated twice. Without asking any question, the secretary nodded and made his way out of the office.
What do you think going to happen when the ML and FL meet?

In the late afternoon, both the mother daughter pair returned back to the Little Carnations. Li Xue was really tired from the whole day out, but her little packet of joy was still full of energy.
How can she not be like that? For the whole day she was excitedly waiting for the evening to arrive. So that she can return home and meet her Handsome Angel soon. Now that she has an achievement to share with him, her little heart was eagerly waiting to hear his praises.
"Mama, can I go and look for Handsome Angel first? He must have returned back?", the little girl asked the moment they set their foot in the home. Her eyes were pleading with her mother to allow her but Li Xue looked at her wrist watch and said, "Sweetheart, there is still time in office hours getting over. Your Angel must not have returned yet".
Saying her words, she went to take a comfortable resting seat on the sofa. Reclining her head back, she closed her eyes.
Little Li Wei pouted at her mother's words and then looked out through the window from where she could see a particular distant house. The surroundings were still silent.
Reverting her eyes back to her mother, she ran to her side and asked, "But Mama all day I have waited for him to return. Why is he still not back?"
"Ummm … baby, how about you take a quick nap? And when you wake up your Handsome Angel might have returned home. Hmmm? What say? Do you want a quick nap? Because Mama is surely going to get one herself?" Li Xue said as she held her jaw and lifted her brows slightly in askance.
The little girl thought for some time and then taking every necessary thing into consideration, she said, "Mama, I am going to accompany you to sleep, since you look so tired and I also don't have anything to do. But promise me, you will wake me up before the office time gets over so that I can go and meet Handsome Angel"
Li Xue nodded without any hesitation, since she has long decided that she won't be adamant with her daughter on the topic of this Angel. Just looking at the excitement on Li Wei's face, she was sure that the man has already got a very special place in her daughter's little heart. Now rejecting her meetings with him will only make her hurt.
"Fine, I will wake you up once it is time. Shall we now go to sleep?" the mother asked, lifting the little piece up in her arms and headed towards the room. The girl giggled every time she felt a light tingly poke in her stomach.
Outside slowly and slowly the brightness of the sunlight faded away, bringing the sky in a shade darker to change the time of the day into evening.
It was all dark in the house as no lights were yet switched on. Except the sound of smooth breathing there was nothing more audible when suddenly someone pushed the door open in a very restrained way like the person didn't want to let anyone know about his arrival.
Li Xue was still in her sleep hugging her soft living accessory close to her body. This was the only way in which she can escape from those traumatic dreams.
Though she was in her sleep, still she can feel someone's presence around her. She wanted to open her eyes to look at the person who was there but her senses were not allowing her however she tried.
Was this her dream? But still the question remained in her heart. Who was the person in her dream then?
She could feel his smooth but strong steps striding towards her direction. Her arms got a little tighter around her little girl to hold her all strengths in the form of her. Her heart beats got faster complimenting her uneasiness in the breaths.
Suddenly she felt a depression on her mattress as if someone had sat beside her. Her breath got hitched. She waited for some time but no movement was made by the other party. She waited and waited. Time passed but still no movement was done.
She can sense someone's intense eyes boring through her as if trying to unveil the deep secrets of her but she has no strength to take a step forward to know who the person was? Li Xue lied there still, not daring to make any casual movement in her sleeping posture.
What should I do?
Should I scream out loud?
Will there be someone who will be able to reach my rescue?
Who is this person and what does he want?
Will it be fine if I open my eyes and take a look? Or will I be dead the moment I open it to look at him?
With her closed eyes and muddled hesitant brain she was trying her best to decide the most appropriate thing she should do next when suddenly she felt warm fingers caressing her cheeks, brows and forehead.
It felt more like the person was showing deep sympathy for her. Like he can feel the sorrows she was trying to hide in her heart. Like he has already torn away the façade of a strong woman she has pulled all this time in front of everyone and has seen deep into her.
But who was he? And what was he intending to do? Sympathy! Why was he showing her the sympathy when no one in this world ever cared to show it to her?
Li Xue couldn't understand what was happening around her until she felt a warm teardrop rolling down her eyes towards her straight bony nose. But before it can drop off her face, those warm fingers wiped it off, showing a much tender care to her.
"You have suffered a lot, losing everything you have hard earned. This was not the life you deserved. You deserved something much better. You deserved to be loved deeply and wildly. I know I am late but I promise I will make you forget all the pain from your past. Remember now you are not alone, you have me" came his soft cello magnetic voice close to her ears that pulled a string in her heart, rippling various feelings at the same time, consoling the pain in her heart.
She has never known that anyone could have such a melodic voice. There was a familiarity in the voice but that was not for any person she knew rather it felt like that voice has some connective coordinate in her life. Like it resembled someone's much softer and babyish voice. More like the melody her daughter's voice always played in her ears.
Melody that resembled her daughter!
At the thought of this, Li Xue was jolted. Her eyes got wide open to look at the person, but what greeted her was the room filled with darkness. Looking around she could feel no one's presence.
Frantically, she switched on the bedside lamp and the room instantly got lit up but the person was nowhere present.
What was that? Everything just now … was that some kind of dream? She looked around again and again but nothing in the air gave her the hints of someone's presence. Everything was all normal, the same like the time she had gone to sleep.
Was that really her dream? But it felt so real. She looked at the little soft body that was still completing her sweet sleep. 'This must be some kind of new weird dream added in my book!' she said in her head and then gently caressed the little head.
At this moment her phone rang, breaking her lingering trance. It was some unknown number. She gave some thought before finally receiving it, "Hello!"
