Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 20 - Mama goes crazy shopping for her little devilic - angle.

Since there was nothing on the activity list of Li Xue, she decided to take a good round around the city with her daughter by her side. The time with her devilic – angel has always been her favorite.

Though she never gets enough time to spend with her, she knew her daughter also misses her. Being in just an age of five years, she has an idea how much attention a kid desires for. But it was her sensible daughter who never let her mother get worried for her.

After settling the things in the room, Li Xue took the little girl to go shopping. As the car was given to her to drive back and forth to the restaurant, she booked a cab for the day.

The duo shopped around the supermarket to get the necessary supplies for the kitchen and at the end arrived at the shopping hub of the city, The Central Mall.

"Mama! Why are we here? Are we going to shop for dresses too? I have seen this mall on the internet websites. This is the best mall here", the little girl said as she looked at the glassy walls of the splendid building whose Polish American architect was represented in flying edges, sharp angles and complicated yet breathtaking design.

Li Xue patted the girl's little head and said, "Let's go in and see if there is something that can suit our taste. If we find something there we can buy it. Mama has still her reward money to spend"

Li Wei nodded her head in excitement as her clear grey eyes started glittering showing her level of happiness.

Entering the mall, Li Xue looked around, 'This place hasn't changed yet. It's still the same". She said to herself as her eyes paused at every corner of the mall. Some beautiful memories came in front of her eyes as she locked at the central stage.

Her dream started taking shape towards success from this place. She still remembers the night when she walked to that stage, how loud and clear were the enthusiasm of the people. Those cheers and love that she received was her dream. A dream that would have led her to the path of becoming the super – model of the country, giving her the opportunities to represent her country on the international line.

But everything got shattered in the blink of an eye, when she found herself lying n.a.k.e.d on the bed of a luxurious room with a man she never knew. She had never thought the efforts of her hard work were so easy to be ruined. Still remembering her shattered dreams, she felt a pang in her heart.

Right at this moment, she felt a soft tug on her arms. When looked at she found her only joy standing by her side staring at her with utmost concern and care. She can see through all her pain and sorrows but was too small to understand them.

"I am fine, baby. Let's go", she said with an assuring smile and took her daughter straight to the children's cloth section.

Li Wei looked around and her lips got into a straight line, showing her displeasure. The mother didn't notice this reaction of her and simply drove in with excitement. Shopping clothes for the little girl always doubled her level of zest.

Getting a daughter so beautiful and adorable, she can't decide on clothes. So whenever she went to shop for her she would bring more and more pairs of clothes. As long as she found something suitable for her, she would buy them. It gives her the satisfaction of not missing out on anything.

Since the mall was the best in the whole city, the things here were quite expensive. The children section was also exquisite and expensive. But she still made herself motivated to buy at least two pairs of pretty dresses.

Picking up a dusty blue colored tulle – boho lace dress, she turned to look at her daughter, "Baby, how is this? Isn't this beautiful? It will look more beautiful on you". Her voice was laced with another level of excitement which made the little girl shake her head in helplessness.

"Mama, can you please be a little sensible? I already have so many new dresses in my wardrobe which I haven't worn yet. It is you who haven't got any new dress for so many months. We should go and buy something for you" she said, taking the frock from her mother's hand and placing it back on the rake showing a clear intention of not being interested in buying that dress.

"Who said I don't have new clothes in my cupboard. I also have plenty of them", she said picking the dress back in her hands.

"Mama, there are only three and that too because you always ignored them while selecting your clothes for the day" the Little Li Wei reasoned her mother's words.

"I will buy my dress afterward. Let's buy yours first. Look isn't this a nice one" she said showing the same dusty blue dress again. But in return she got the gaze of displeasure from her daughter.

"Okay, fine. I accept my defeat. I am ready to compromise. At first I thought of buying two pair of dresses for you but I can settle down in a pair. Help me select fast and then we can go and see something suitable for me", she said and then looked at her daughter with her hopeful eyes.

The little girl did not smile but nodded in acceptance.

Without waiting for her daughter to change her mind she picked another dress frock that struck her eyes and went quickly to the billing counter. Li Wei looked at her mother hurried steps and quickly followed behind her.

When the clothes were wrapped and the billing process got completed, Li Xue heaved a sigh of relief, "Oh it's done!"

"Mama! Don't you think you are exaggerating too much? I am a girl of words. I would not have backed out from my words even if you have taken your steps a little slower", Li Wei said with a cute pout.

"Haha was it that obvious?" she said with an awkward smile. This girl was really a devil who can see through all her actions.

At this moment, she heard a soft familiar voice from behind. "Li Xue!" From the tone one can say that the person was quite concerned regarding her.
