Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

Feng Shufen looked at the shoes for the last time and then kept them aside with a straight face. His expression was hard to read, especially when he turned his back towards her. "Don't worry. I will take care of this." He said and behind, Li Xue clicked her tongue in rejection.

"You don't have to." She said, seeing the man turn to look at her. "You don't have to get into this Mr. Beelzebub. You already have so many things to look after." She continued more only to find his expression getting hardened with her words.

"Even if I have a lot to look after. You are still the priority above all the other things." Feng Shufen said with a cold tone and unfazed with his tone, Li Xue still rejected him, shaking her head.

"I know you take me as your priority, Mr. Beelzebub. You don't have to prove it every time." She said with a smile and her smile held the confidence she holds in her heart for him. "Today, I shared all this with you, not for I wanted to ask your help. But I felt to share it with you since you are the partner of my life. Similarly, now that I have told you all this, I expect you to support me. Believe me equally that even without you, I would be able to take care of it on my own. So, won't you do your part of believing me? Huh?"

Li Xue said and Feng Shufen looked at her with a mixed expression.

"Mr. Beelzebub, don't think too much. I know you believe me more than you believe yourself. And in no way, you would be going to reject my request. So just accept it now. Why are you creating such an expression of suspense?"

"Aren't you too confident?" Feng Shufen really couldn't believe that he has spoiled her to an extent where now he, himself, couldn't reject her saying.

Li Xue smiled and then shrugged. "I got all reasons to be confident. Can you deny my reasons?"

"…" Feng Shufen couldn't refuse her words so, not replying to it, he instead turned his attention back to her neck to ask, "Is the wound still hurting?"

Li Xue shook her head in denial. "It was itching earlier but since you have applied the ointment, it's all good." She said and the man nodded.

"Great!" He said and then walked back to her to cover her properly with the duvet. "It's late now. You should rest first." Helping her to lie down properly, he adjusted the cover both on her and the little girl, sleeping beside her.

Li Xue agreed to his request with a smile as well, but then something struck her remembrance as she asked, "By the way, there are two things more I wanted to discuss with you." She said and halting for a second, Feng Shufen raised his brows at her.

To which Li Xue sat up again to continue. "I want to ask if you have made any move on Princess Shen?" She asked, although her expression already told that she believes that she might be already late for it. Until now, maybe the man had not waited … But somewhere she still hoped for a chance.

"I won't interfere in your ways, but in return, I expect you to be the same." Keeping his words mysterious, Feng Shufen strictly drew the line for Li Xue. But Li Xue pressed her lips at him as if not ready to accept his boundary line.

"I won't come to interfere. But won't you hear me at least?" She said, pausing to blink her sweet puppy eyes at him before continuing again, "Princess Shen wasn't exactly responsible for this. Furthermore, she already received the punishment from Ma earlier. She is a princess who has been born to get spoiled. Getting too harsh with her won't be good."

She said and Feng Shufen's fingers clenched once again at her logic. "In my world, there is only one princess and one queen. Apart from them, I wouldn't care for anyone. Especially when an attempt was made to harm them. Do you understand?" He said with extreme firmness and Li Xue could already feel his previous instincts of anger rising.

No, no, not again. Neither she had any tricks remaining to coax the Devil, nor did she feel her trick would be proven effective enough to get back him to normality. So, she won't dare to take the risk again. If the princess is destined to taste his punishment, even her tries won't be able to save her. Why waste the efforts then?

Nodding, she agreed to his arrangements. "Fine, as you say. I won't disrupt the rules of your words then. Just there is a request. A small one. While punishing her, consider that she was also a pawn in the game, who actually wasn't aware of the things as well." She said and Feng Shufen stared at her with a poker face. It was hard to tell if he even would be considering her words or not.

"The other thing?" When saw that the first topic was completed, Feng Shufen didn't forget there was another as well.

Li Xue got confused at his sudden words but soon realized what was it about as she replied. "And the other thing is about the Prince of East City, Su Ce. I met him just a few days back and he would be working opposite to me on the project as well. But there is something weird in his personality. He is just … I don't know what is about, but I just find him too weird around me." She said, unable to find the suitable words to describe.

"Ah yes, I remember, you must have met him as well. He was there in the hotel, Emerald De-Luxe when you came to rescue me last time. Do you remember?" She said and it wasn't hard for Feng Shufen to recall that face.

But keeping his composure and control, he plainly asked, "Continue. I am hearing." He said and Li Xue nodded to add what she found most weird in all the things.

"Umm … I couldn't express why but I feel like he has something cunning in his head going on. Earlier he came to meet me here. He knew that my shoes' spikes were tampered still he forced Ma to punish Princess Shen in front of everyone like she was the only one who was responsible. It was weird but his expressions were so confident that it felt whatever he did he was confident of it. He simply seems like he is no simple man." She said and at her explanation like that, the man's eyes grew deep as if, if he could sense the reasons responsible for everything now.
