Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

At Feng Internationals,

Feng Shufen had his gaze fixed at the clock. Though his punctuality has never failed even for a minutest second but with Li Xue in the question, he did not intend to take any risk. Being efficient in his work, he swiftly moved his fingers and eyes over the document files one after the other.

His sterling grey orbs were all focused at the working while taking accord of time every now and then. He was already deep into it when suddenly a knock at the door interrupted him. Lifting his eyes up a little he looked at the person who had come here asking his all due permission to enter the office.

After giving a glance, Feng Shufen did not bother and went back to look through his work. "Hey, Shufen! Won't you say something? I have properly knocked on the door before entering your office but you are simply not appreciating my gesture. This is the reason, I never encouraged myself to be formal around you because I knew that you will never appreciate it"

Qi Shuai said as he made his way inside the office. "Not like you waited to get my permission", Feng Shufen said as he put his beautiful yet powerful signature on one of the papers before closing the file up.

"You … Do you want me to wait to get your permission outside. Whoa! Where has the love and friendship of this world gone? Did they get lost from this universe? Or is it just me who is unable to feel it in my life", Qi Shuai said, again beginning his overdramatic skills.

"…" Feng Shufen did not care to reply back to his remark. Folding the file close, he pushed his leather chair slightly back to get a comfortable position on it. "Is there something important that brought you here or do the Director in chief of Feng Internationals have become quite less worried about his work these days?"

The moment those words reached Qi Shuai's ears, his brows scrunched a little; whether it was worry or disappointment, it was not clear. But his eyes were definitely accusing his friend of being so heartless with him.

He was about to make some of his comments when his friend interjected to put an end to the conversation which has not yet started. "If you don't have anything useful to say, then I would leave. It is already time" he said and then looked at his expensive watch to make sure of it.

"What do you mean by useful? When did I talk useless with you? I have just come here to apologize for my words last night and also the thing I said today and you are calling my intentions to be useless?" Qi Shuai bewailed keeping his accusing gaze at his friend. But that gaze brought no change to the person it was intended to.

"Fine, I will leave now", Feng Shufen said and was about to get up when suddenly Gao Fan entered knocking the door. The man looked at his secretary, raising his brows of askance.

"President Feng I need to report something to you!" he said, a slight hesitation evident in his tone. His demeanour brings Qi Shuai to seriousness.

"Go ahead!" came the order from the person it was required and the secretary took a deep breath before starting. For a second, his eyes moved to give a sympathetic gaze to Qi Shuai, making him confused about the reason behind.

"President Feng, it's something about Sweet Delicacy" he paused for a second and then continued once again. "As arranged by you, Ms Mia has joined Ms Li Xue being her subordinate at the place. And …"

Before he could complete his words, an interruption from Qi Shuai came, "And there can't be anything to worry. I have myself asked Huo Rong to look after her, saying that she is someone from our family. So I am sure that he will make sure that she does not have any problem there"

A smile of achievement covered his lips when he completed his words but it was denied by Gao Fan instantly. "Sorry Director Qi, it's not about that rather about the new intern who has joined under Ms Li Xue."

Qi Shuai was taken aback for a moment, but then pulling his gaze towards his friend he said bringing up the appreciative tone, "Wow! Sister in law is really capable. She has just begun her work and has already got an intern under her. It's definitely not bad. I don't think there is something to worry about this."

He smiled looking at his friend, asking him to agree to his words. "Let him complete his words first", Feng Shufen said plainly as he looked at his secretary asking him to complete his words.

Getting the cue from his President, Gao Fan stated, "President Feng, it's about the young master from the Chen family. He has also joined the team of Sweet Delicacy as an intern today".

"Oh great! He must be …" Qi Shuai again was about to jump in excitement but suddenly paused when a piercing glare hit him hard. Gulping down the rest of his words back in his throat, he said meekly. "Gao Fan, please go ahead before this man beheads me mercilessly".

Knowing the intensity behind the words, the secretary did not hesitate for any other second. He quickly continued his words from the place he had stopped. "At first he was allotted under chef Ning Meiling but he has personally put forward the request to be under the care of Ms Li Xue. I doubt …"

"Do you doubt that he will try to hit his chance on Xiao Xue?" Qi Shuai interjected, completing the words which Gao Fan may have never dared to voice out. The secretary did not respond anything, he just stood still and let the two men figure out the rest on their own.

The whole air inside the room went silent. There was no change in the man's expressions like none of the words from before reached his ears. Qi Shuai looked at him and his heart got worried looking at his friend in such a state.

"That brat really has got guts …" Qi Shuai said to no one in particular rather his words were intended for the scene. But then halted when he found his friends deep in his thoughts.

"Shufen, you don't have to worry. Believe in yourself! You are the best and the perfect one for Xiao Xue. None of your love rivals could match your merits points", Qi Shuai blabbered but was suddenly halted in his own words when something struck him hard.

Love rival! Was this just a coincidence or did this world has conspired against him? He wanted to take his words back but it was already too late. Beads of sweats formed over his forehead as his eyes paused to look at the Devil, who was too dangerously calm and composed for such a situation.

"Shufen, you won't be blaming me right?" he asked with hesitation, gently wiping off the sweat beads from his forehead.

Feng Shufen smiled devilishly and raised his brows up, "Blaming you? For what?"

"That … that boy …", Qi Shuai tried his best to bring those words out again but it was too difficult and fearful for him to do so. The atmosphere around felt heavy and dangerous until a loud chuckle of laughter rang through it.

"There is nothing to worry about. Chen Yujian can stay by her aunt's side and help me take care of her in a better way. And I am sure that Xiao Xue is capable enough to handle and discipline him on her own" he said and before the other two could register his words properly, he picked up his coat and made his way out.
