Little WeiWei stood there with a pout, her hands over her hips. She looked cute, to an extent where one would not be able to hold himself or herself from pinching her cheeks.
“It’s okay, little one. There is no use complaining to them. In front of your mother, your LaoLao and Laoye don’t even care to look at me. You still come a lot after me so …” At the same time Shin You Jun came, his hands tucked inside his pocket while his face holding a callow complaint.
When Chen Rui saw her son with his regular antics, she couldn’t help but shake her head. “You Jun. She is still small. How can you instigate her? Being her uncle, shouldn’t you instead explain her good things?”
Shin You Jun looked at his mother and then casually shrugged out his shoulders. “I am saying anything false to her. It’s just the stated fact that I am making clear to her. It’s better for her to understand than complain.” He said and Chen Rui couldn’t help but shake her head at him.
But Little Li Wei turned to look at her uncle and said, “But I am not complaining, little-belittle uncle. I am just asking my curiosity out. Also, Mama says one can never snatch love from anyone. It’s an emotion of heart that never changes on someone’s say. If you are loved, then you will be loved. No matter who stands in the way, the love will not get changed.” She said, and Li Xue smiled.
Once she said, she turned to look at her Laoye, as if waiting to hear the answer of her previously asked question. And Shin Tingming understood that gaze of her instantly. Smiling at her, he bent down to her in his arms and said, “You are my granddaughter. What do you think? You are the most beautiful on in the world, taking after your mother, of course.”
He said, knowing well how happy the little one gets when someone tells her that she is like her mother.
WeiWei smiled and turned to look at her mother, who in turn gave her a smile and nod of appreciation to her.
While at the same time on the side Chen Rui looked at Shin You Jun. “Are you feeling embarrassed now, dear? Even a six years old can understand the basics but you are busy with your own built theories.”
Shin You Jun’s mouth agape at little one’s words. But the moment he heard the voice of his mother, he shifted his composure and coughed to ease out his embarrassment. “What is there to get embarrassed. My niece is intelligent. If she says something, of course, I will consider her words. After all, there is nothing wrong in learning from younger generation.”
He said and once again, Chen Rui did nothing but shake her head. Then turning to Li Xue, she asked, “You are ready?”
Li Xue nodded and then looked at the door as if she was waiting for someone. When Chen Rui saw her like that, she smiled, knowing well for whom her daughter was looking for. She turned to give a small look to the door before turning again to look at Li Xue. “You are wait won’t get over, dear because Feng Shufen won’t be coming here.”
She said and Li Xue’s brows furrowed, “Why?”
Chen Rui quirked up her brows at her desperate cry. Li Xue realized her tone as well and coughing out she explained, “I-I was just asking He has earlier said that he would come to get me when everything will be ready there.”
Chen Rui exchanged a look with her husband and both shared a meaningful smile. Li Xue felt her cheeks blush red and she avoided the gaze of her parents. And Chen Rui’s smile deepened looking her like that.
“It’s a ritual in royals that the groom can’t see the bride before taking the vows. I have already talked with Shufen about it and he will be waiting for you at the stage, So, don’t look for him. He will be meeting you at the wedding stage.” Chen Rui explained and Li Xue looked up at her. Her eyes held a question but she held back, feeling that she would again be embarrassed to ask it.
Chen Rui didn’t tease her any more. Keeping just a known smile, she looked at her daughter and continued further, “As for getting you to the wedding stage. It’s a tradition that the father walks along the bride and hands her over to the groom. It represents the delegation of trust and responsibility on the man whom his daughter has chosen. So, in any case Shufen wouldn’t have taken you out. It will be your father and he is here. So, it’s okay, isn’t it?”
Li Xue nodded with understanding and turned to look at her father who held various unsaid emotions in his eyes for her. Some emotions in his amber pairs were comprehensible, while some remained difficult to read. 𝑜𝐯𝓵xt.𝔠𝗈𝑀
“Why can only father take her to the stage? Why not me?” Shin You Jun suddenly asked and everyone turned to look at him. On which he further continued, “I mean although father holds her responsibility, being her brother, even I hold some. So according to the tradition, shouldn’t I also be walking with her?”
Chen Rui was about to refuse but before she could Li Xue agreed to him withj a chuckle. “If you want, you can accompany as well. After all, I know how desperate you are to get rid of me.” Then turning to Chen Rui, she said, “Ma, it’s okay. If he wants let him. Otherwise once again he will get back to his never-ending complaints.”
She said and Chen Rui turned to her son, pursing her lips at him. “Fine. Go along.”
Then checking her watch, she turned to look at her husband and spoke. “It’s already time, I guess I should take WeiWei with me. You guys come later.” Saying that Shin Tingming set the little one down and Chen Rui held her hands.
“Mama, WeiWei go with LaoLao now, but she has a big surprise for you.” The little head said and before Li Xue could ask what that surprise was all about, WeiWei already waved her hands at her, leaving with her grandmother. But that was not before she said with a wink, “Mama, don’t ask me. Surprise is called surprise for a reason.”
