Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 496 - Were you expecting me here, Ms Wen?

Out of some residential area, Wen Sying quickly helped a lady inside her flashy red sedan car, with a soft flower smile over her lips. Then following her, she too got inside after her. Her eyes stared all dearly at the lady as she said, "Aunt Liu, spending my time with you has always been great. But I am not sure how you take my desperate act of clinging on you again and again. Do you find me trouble?"

Liu Hua who was sitting inside the car pursed her lips in response as she replied with all love she had in her heart. "What a silly child you are! Who said it's trouble? A mother spending her time with her daughter is always joyous. There is no trouble with that. Didn't I already say that to you before? Or are you purposely reminding me that I am not your mother"

"No, no, Aunt Liu! How can that be? If it had been that way then do you think that I would always come to reach you like this. In my mind and heart, I have always taken you as my mother. If you say something like that, how can I bear to stay the same around? My guilt will not let me", Wen Sying quickly added, showing her desperation to coax the lady, who she knew was not any angry at her.

The old lady laughed seeing her that way. Giving out a light bl.u.s.ter of soft laughter, she lightly c.a.r.e.s.sed her hair and said, "Silly child! I always know. Though you have always called me Aunt, I can see that you love me as your mother. There is nothing you have to feel guilty for. I am all contended of you".

Wen Sying smiled and then slightly leaned to the lady to hug her. "Yes, I love you, aunt Liu, after all, you have also loved me over Li Xue". She said and for a moment, the lady's face went stiff at the mention of the name of her shameful daughter.

"Sying, don't mention her name and ruin our day already. We are out to enjoy our time shopping. Let's not ruin it" She said in a stern voice and Wen Sying could only nod to her words.

"Yes, Aunt Liu! I am sorry I know that you don't like her mention". Then turning to the driver at the front she ordered, "Driver, we are ready. Please take us to the Western Shopper's Arcade".

The driver nodded before starting the car in the planned direction.

"Aunt Liu, you know Western Shopper's Arcade has got the best collections of the season and is definitely the best choice if you want to spend on quality products", Wen Sying said with some enthusiasm in the voice as their drive made its way towards the destination.

Soon Wen Sying reached the shopping mall. Once there, she helped the old lady out of the car. Liu Hua smiled when found her so meticulously taking care of her.

"It's fine, dear. You don't have to be so careful for me. I have not gotten that old up until now. So, don't treat me as one". The old lady said out with a chuckle as she gave a short glance to the woman beside her and then stared around the grandness of the shopping complex.

With its architecture itself, no one would have a question about its expensiveness. Liu Hua's eyes shone with glitters. She was a woman who always loved sumptuosity.

"You still look like a friend to me, Aunt Liu. Who would take you as old? There is definitely no one. Look around there are still so many people staring and admiring you", Wen Sying said, clearly putting the efforts to boost the woman's heart. After all, in the current situation where her boat was already feeling the struggles of the coming storm, only pleasing this old lady could help her survive.

With her words, Liu Hua at once was on the top of the sky. Of course, she knew that her beauty may not match the new growing trend, still, she was one of her own beauty kinds of her generation. There was no way, there would be any lady of her age to match her.

"You are really a sweet talker, girl. But since you have complimented me, I won't be giving back those praises." The old lady said haughtily as she gestured Sying to hook her arms around her and then proceed.

Wen Sying did not disapprove. With the mask of a sweet and beautiful flower that she has always put on her face, she complied with the lady's demands.

Being a fashion model, Wen Sying was always known among the fashion brands as she has been the face representing various cosmetic and luxury brands.

So, seeing her enter the mall, one of the managers came forward to greet her. "Ms Wen, you are here! Please come in. Make yourself comfortable here. I will ask one of our …"

"No, no, Mr Chu! That won't be needed. I am here with my mother and would like to enjoy my time alone with her". The woman instantly denied the offer of the manager, making him give a polite smile to her.

Liu Hua did not miss the title with which she has gotten introduced. Though she has always preferred and taken this girl to be her daughter, she has never expected to get introduced as her mother. Of course, who would not like to have a successful and pretty daughter like her? Her lips tugged up to give a smile as she looked at her and they started their stroll inside the mall.

After giving more than hours in shopping around, there came many bags acc.u.mulated in the hands of the two ladies. "Ah … I think we have really shopped enough today, child! Let's not spend more money. Zheng Wenting may not like it".

"Haha … it's fine, Aunt Liu! Wenting never stops me from shopping around on his card. And we still have not gotten any good handbags and scarves for you. Let's go and get it from there" Wen Sying said as her eyes stared at a distant shop at the corner. "I have heard that they are showcasing a new collection".

Liu Hua could only sigh and accept. She was just feeling a little tiresome, spending and getting more stuff was not a problem for her. "Okay, then let's go and finish this up fast!"

Wen Sying nodded but then suddenly paused. "Oh, Aunt Liu! You go and check stuff there. I will be back soon. I need to use the washroom first"

The lady nodded as she went her way to the distant accessories store while Wen Sying took her turn to the lady's washroom.

In the washroom, the woman dipped down to splash some water on her face. But brows scrunched together when suddenly heard someone latching the door outside. "Did the janitor lock the door for some purpose", she commented to no one in particular as she turned to look back in the direction.

But her face only turned paler when found the woman standing there with hands folded over her c.h.e.s.t and a sharp, dangerous smile over her lips. "Li Xue!"

"Were you expecting me here, Ms Wen?"
