Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

Soon, the rhythm of the breathing changed over the phone, and Li Xue understood who was exactly there. Although no words came immediately from the other side of the call, her lips pulled in a thin line as she asked, "Mr. Beelzebub, what were you actually thinking while putting me on house arrest like this?"

"House arrest?" Feng Shufen sounded a bit surprised at her choice of words. But Li Xue knew very well that he was just pretending. After all, the devil would never lack tricks. "Those boys are just there for being around you. They don't have permission to stop you. You can go wherever you want."

He said and Li Xue just pressed her lips. "You can't be kidding me? You expect me to go around with them following me like that? Even if I take a step they are just behind me ready to take the same step after. If I really go around with them, I wouldn't be surprised seeing me trending on the news the next day."

Feng Shufen didn't reply a word to her and his silence like that was very easy to comprehend. He wanted it like that, that's why he planned it this way.

"Wait, you can't be serious?" Li Xue laughed. But internally, she understood his ploy. "Is this really for what I said yesterday? I said that I may get lured into danger and no one would be able to hold me since you are not here. So, you particularly made the arrangement where I don't have the easy option to walk out of the place. Like really?"

She guessed it all perfectly and heard the man chuckle on the other side of the call, efficiently switching the topic to something else, "I see, you got the way to reach me today. Did you remember it or did someone make you remember it?"

He asked and even though Li Xue knew his plan, she couldn't ignore this one question because inside, she felt a bit bad for missing the info in the first place. "Ah, Yi Lan and Director Qi are here. We had a talk and there I remembered that you did tell me about this, but it was me who missed out. But wait, tell me why didn't you remind me about it yesterday?"

Although she could guess the reason, she still wanted to hear it from him. So, when she found the opportunity, she asked.

"You were enjoying the bullying. So, I just let you enjoy it." Feng Shufen said, and Li Xue couldn't be more speechless.

Okay, it was her fault to ask. She shouldn't have done that. She accepted before reverting back to the topic she was on. "Fine. Mr. Beelzebub, not switching the thing for which I actually called for, let me ask you – when are you going to ask these capable people to return back to their base?"

She asked, and before she could get Feng Shufen's reply, she heard Gao Fan's voice on the other side.

"President Feng, we got some lead on the company, if you want to check."

Feng Shufen hummed to him while Li Xue could visualize him nodding. "Since you got something important to check, I won't hold you for long. How about you give them the instruction and then leave for your work?" She suggested, smiling confidently.

But her confidence was easily turned into dumbfoundedness when she heard the man clearly rejecting her suggestion. "That won't happen until I am back. So, stay good and don't be naughty. I will call you later." He said, disconnecting the call.

And Li Xue was left in dilemma. Wait, what? Did he really ask her to 'stay good and not be naughty?

What was she? A two-year-old kid, who needs someone to babysit her?

She thought to herself when she once again looked at the people around. Wait, not just someone, the man has left dozens of people to babysit her. She realized as she shook her head.

Li Xue might have really made Feng Shufen give in to her wishes if they would have talked a little more. But since the call was already disconnected, she would make sure to make him agree on the next call.

Thinking of their next conversation to be favorable, Li Xue pressed a smile on her lips for the people around her before walking back inside the house.

The moment she entered; her fluffy ball of energy crashed into her hugging around her legs. "Good morning, Mama. Rise and shine." Little Li Wei greeted, before pushing her head to look up at her mother with her best morning smile. "WeiWei had her good sleep yesterday. But Mama, have you finished your sleep well? You seem like you are having a headache."

She asked. Although Li Xue has put on a smile on her lips, Little WeiWei's little pair of eyes could clearly figure out the reason behind her mother's scrunched brows.

Li Xue laughed before shaking her head in nothingness and caressing gently the hair of her daughter. "It's nothing serious, sweetie. Mama had a good sleep last night. It's just early in the morning I got something to look after and it kind of gave me a bit of a rush, causing me a headache. But it would definitely get better soon. There is nothing to worry about."

She said and checking on her Mama's expression the little one nodded. "Fine, Mama. If it doesn't get better soon, we will go to see the doctor and get you checked. WeiWei has got her weekend off, so she will be there for you. Don't worry, okay?"  She said, reaching out to her mother's hands to pat the back of it with assurance like any adult would do.

Li Xue couldn't help but smile at her gesture, Nodding, she agreed with her words. "Fine, we would do as you say. But for now, did you meet your Aunt Yi Lan and Uncle Cutie? They are here to have breakfast with us."

Little WeiWei was surprised. She had just got down the stairs and seen her mother coming in from the garden. Without checking who else was around, she came to hug her in the morning. "They are here, Mama?"

Li Xue nodded, to which, the girl was further excited. "Then let's not make them wait Mama. Let's go and have our breakfast together. WeiWei has been missing Aunt Yi Lan and Uncle Cutie so much." She said, jumping up and down.
