I Want A New Mom

Somewhere in Beijing.

The mansion was beautifully decorated, the lobby was beautified with balloons and bows. Blue and white colored posters where placed in the walls of within and outside the mansion, with an inscription written as: Happy Birthday Xue Lin.

The beautiful little girl stood in front of the white giant cake, surrounded by her families.

She was dressed in a sparkly white little gown decorated with beads and flowers, and on her head was a little sparkly tiara.

"Now Xue Lin , we've been standing forever, why don't you just make a wish then blow the candles. Then we could cut the cake" An elderly woman spoke from behind.

"I should make a wish?" Little Xue Lin asked looking up at her dad.

"Yes my dear, make a wish and blow the candles, just like how aunt Bao Yan had said" Her dad replied smiling.

Ling Yun had organised the birthday party for his little daughter, he made sure that she looked her very best that day.

Even Ling Yun was perfectly dressed in a light colored tuxedo, standing with his daughter, he had been smiling all this while.

"Now dear make a wish" He told Xue Lin who was looking quite hesitant.

Ling Yun knew and was sure that his daughter wouldn't wish for something that bigger, Last year she wished to get a new big and beautiful doll, and a happy family. Surely Ling Yun got the doll for her, he would do his best to make sure the entire family is happy.

Everyone re sang the happy birthday song again, hoping that it would cheer her up, and then she will say her wish. And it really worked. But everyone became frozen in shock when Xue Lin said her wish.

"I wish to live young with my family, And I wish to get a new mom" She smiled happily and opened her eyes.

The little girl obviously didn't notice how the elders including her father had paused when she mentioned the word 'new Mom'

"So now, we could cut the cake right father?" She looked up at her father, but she saw him cleaning his face with a handkerchief. Everyone face looked gloomy.

"Father" She called again.

Ling Yun wouldn't want his daughter to see her crying, so he wiped his tears away.

"Yes you should" He managed to speak.

Other family members including grandma, placed their right hand on top of Xue Lin hand and they cut the cake.

Xue Lin fed her father the first piece of cake, next to grandma and all the other families members.

"Happy sixth birthday Xue Lin" Grandma said happily, she still looks a little bit young, except for the wrinkles on her face, her eye defect, and grey colored hair, grandma could still be mistook for a woman in her late forties.

"Thank you grandmother" Xue Lin smiled and hugged her.

The little party ended, Xue Lin had a lot of presents to carry to her room. Each of the family members had giving her different presents and a few red packets.

She loved red packets the most, and she couldn't wait to open the envelope and see how much money she had received.

Evert year on her birthday, Xue Lin will always ask of a special present from her father, she asked for a doll last year, so this year she was going to ask of something more valuable.

Ling Yun saw his daughter hold the presents to her room, he remembered when she said that she wish to have a new mom.

Ling Yun had always wished to Marry another lady ever since Ming Xia, his wife died, but none of the young ladies around him are worthy enough. At least that's what he thinks.

He was going to marry a new wife for his daughter sake, and not for his own sake. He had vowed to remain faithful to his wife forever despite the fact that she was dead.

But now, he would have to just get married to another lady perhaps a kind and honest girl, that would not maltreat his daughter, all the young ladies around his companies and house probably wants him because of his money and wealth. So as a matter of fact they would never take good care of his daughter.

He entered his daughter's room, Xue Lin was trying on the new clothes that was gifted to her. She smiled when she saw her father.

"Dad, look I received a lot of gifts" She smiled.

"I see" Her father replied smiling.

"So daddy, aren't you gonna give me my present?" She asked her father, after showing him the red packets that where giving to her.

"Of course i will give you your present, just tell me what you want" Ling Yun smiled at her.

"You promise that you will give it to me right?" She asked, despite the fact that she knew that her father would never refuse anything she asked for, probably what she was about to ask is much more bigger than dolls and toys.

"Yes, I always give you what you wanted. So I would never refuse this one" Ling Yun answered.

"Daddy, can you give me a new bicycle?" She asked.

Ling Yun was relieved that she didn't ask of something bigger. However, Xue Lin had one more request.

"And perhaps a new mom" She added and smiled brightly.

Her father lowered his head.

"You would get me a new mom right?" She asked hopefully.

Ling Yun reached out for her hand and took her to seat on the couch.

"Xue Lin, Moms are not what money can buy" He began. "We can't buy moms from the market just like the way we buy dolls, I will have to find one, and you know that it is going to take a very long time"

"So does that mean no?" Xue Li asked disappointedly.

"No it doesn't. I will get a new mother for you"He told her, and the little girl face cheered up.

"Really? thank you so much daddy" She hugged him.

"Don't thank me." He replied. In order to change the topic, he asked another question.

"So did you say a big thank you to the peoples who gave you the red packets?" He asked.

"Yes, I did say a big thank you. Now I'm having a new mother. All my friends wouldn't call me a motherless girl anymore" She smiled, and took her dresses to the wardrobe.

"Alright dear, I have something to do now, make sure you eat and go play in the garden, be careful and don't try to climb the trees" He warned before going out.

"Yes daddy"

She was obviously glad that she was going to get a new mother.

While her dad went out to think on how he could find one.
