Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 390 - To keep the essence intact in her dessert restaurant.

"Brother FenFen, what do you like the most?" a seven years old little girl asked as she came to sit beside 14 years old poker-faced boy. Her eyes looking at him delicately and expectantly but the boy remaining all aloof and indifferent to her questions as if he has never taken answering her as his responsibility.

It was kind of very harsh and rude for a girl who has always kept people at her wishes. But the younger Feng Shufen never cared to keep her heart. But that never made Little Xiao let go of her tries. With Shufen around, she has always been the most persistent one.

"Brother FenFen, see I have brought your favourite desserts. But I will only give it to you once you give me my answer". She said running behind him with a tray in her little hands but the little Shufen never cared to stop his steps for her, as if challenging her persistence with his own indifference.

But when suddenly her nagging stopped, he turned back to look in her direction only to find her down on the floor with the cream of the dessert smudged over her face. Seeing her like that, the young boy was not able to control his chuckle and that laughter rang in the air after over a year since his mother left him. Undoubtedly, that melodic sound soon garnered everyone's attention as both Feng Yu Hao and Zhen Qinrou came running to see what had made the young boy laugh suddenly.

Laughing out he looked at her, only to make her pout on his actions. "Brother FenFen, you are so mean. I have scratched my leg here yet you are making fun of me. Can't you just answer my question now?" the girl said, wiping the unshed tears from the edge of her eyes.

Feng Shufen took his steps back as he held out his hands for her to take. Taking his hands, the girl stood up again but didn't let go of his hold. "Brother FenFen, please tell me now. What's the dream that you hold dearest to your heart?"

The young boy just looked at the stubborn little girl who would just not let go of him until and unless he answers her. So finally, he said, "To keep my mother's essence intact in her Dessert restaurant". Then taking his hand back he walked off, without giving the little girl more of his time.

The little girl was confused for a moment as if she was deciding on something. But just when he was about to get out of her sight, she yelled on the top of her lungs and said, "Brother FenFen, I will do my best to let you fulfil your dream, I promise. I will go all of the way to learn the best culinary skills of this world. Just to make you happy. I promise!"

The words did reach the boy's ears but he did not stop to give any of his response. As if those words of determination had not made anywhere near to his heart.

How could Feng Yu Hao forget that promise or even that day? That day was one of the rarest in his memories as that day not only was his son's laughter back in his life but he has also found the girl that was persistent enough with him.

"Yu Hao, remembering her, what do you think? Is she not a good option for our son? Not like I am judging the choice of Shufen, it's just that I can only be biased to Zhang Xiaotong since I don't know the other woman well".?Zhen Qinrou stated, knowing well that the iron bar was all ready and hot to take the strike.

"But Qinrou we cannot see just one side of the coin. We should wait …" The man started still not bending completely to his wife's provocations but the firmness and determination that his voice held were no longer as before. Being a father, he also wanted the best for his son especially when his son was the most precious one to his late wife.

"Waiting is not an issue, Yu Hao. I am just asking you to give them an equal chance, same as I am doing. Seeing you going in the favour of Shufen's choice without even having any knowledge about the woman is not the right way to parent our son", Zhen Qinrou said, pausing her words but then with a knowing smile added.

"And in between all of this, don't forget, that woman whom our Shufen is preferring now is a dessert chef. Maybe his choice at this moment is because of the profession she holds. Or what else quality can she hold in front of him? Neither she has a great family nor I believe that our son is the one to go for the looks. Then what else can she please him with? Zhang Xiaotong will be a beneficial daughter – in – law to our Feng Household and a caring wife to him, just let her come back to the country and you will know everything on your own. She is persistent enough to make Shufen understand her love for him the same as she did in the childhood".

Feng Yu Hao did not say anything but without any doubt, there was a little change in his heart.

On the other side in the Cygnus International High School, inside the Principal's office,

"Madam Principal, believe me, I am being honest here. We cannot keep Li Wei in her age group of competitors. If we did then we will be going unfair with the others. Her knowledge and skills can easily surpass all of her classmates." The lady that seemed to be the class teacher presented her thoughts to the Principal.

The Principal was quizzical for a second as she shook her head and said, "Ms Min, I can understand what you are indicating but for this event, we cannot be reckless. We do not have much time before the Annual Cultural event. And leaving the stake on the Little shoulders of Li Wei will not be a good choice. We cannot give a blind eye to child psychology. If after getting transferred to a higher group competition, she faces failure, it might affect the child's heart. Just for our advantage, we cannot risk that".

"But Madam …" Ms Min started again but at that right moment, a soft voice came from the door along with the knock.

"Principal Mam, may I come in?"

The two pairs of eyes turned to look at the door only to find the pretty little girl standing there in a very polite manner.
