Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

"So how was your day?" Feng Shufen asked as his eyes made sure that his little piece was already deep into her sleep. Li Xue was lying just beside her on one side while he was on the other.

Li Xue's smile on her face got stiff for a second when remembered everything from the start. But then resuming her easy curling of lips she said, "It was a success!"

Of course, the stiffness of her expression that lasted for a few seconds on her face was not missed by the man. His eyes were sharp enough to see through the most hidden secret held in anyone's heart.

Knowing that there was something bothering her, he raised his brows of askance to her. Li Xue sighed looking at his worrisome expression for herself. She wanted to say everything to him. But was there really something that she had to say to him?

Nope! That woman's talks were something absurd that does not have any base to speak on. So shaking her head in nothingness, she smiled at the man as she said, "I said it was a success that means I did not down your decision of choosing me, Mr Beelzebub. Don't you think you should be happy about this? Why are you still frowning? Hmm?"

Feng Shufen looked at her then nodded to her words. He knew that there must have happened something which was yet to reach his knowledge. But since she does not want to share, he would not force her.

"Fine, now you too take some rest. You also must be tired" He said and then got up to leave but suddenly was halted by her anxious tone.

"Where are you going?"

When he turned to look around, Li Xue was already in her half sit position. Her expressions all anxious as if she was fearing something from happening. He could not understand what suddenly happened to scare her like that.

Seeing her like this he has no heart to walk away from her side, so he went back to take his seat on the other side of the bed where he was sitting before. "I never wanted to go anywhere. But you are all tired from the day so thought to give you some space to relax. And before you said that you don't want to share the room with me because it makes you uncom …"

Before he could complete his words, Li Xue spoke up, "I didn't mean it that way. Your presence has never made me feel uncomfortable. It's just that I could not ..." She paused, not intending to complete her words. It would be embarrassing to say that she could not share a room with him, not because she doubts his self – control rather her own.

So not completing her words, she continued her words to something else. "And I am not that tired, we can still sit together and talk." She said with a smile.

Feng Shufen looked at her and confirmed, "Sit together and talk?"

Li Xue did not think much about it and nodded in acceptance. Up till now, she was sure of one thing that he will never force her to say or do something she does not want. And she was not wrong about it because Shufen will truly never force her to something even if it cost him his whole life's strength and patience.

Nodding his head to her agreement, he said, getting himself more comfortable at his place. "Then tell me earlier why suddenly you got anxious when you saw me leaving?"

Li Xue never thought that he had caught her anxiousness. Since he has not pointed on it before, she thought that he has missed it. But seems like, with Mr Beelzebub around, luck in hiding herself never supports her side. Every time she tries, she has failed miserably.

She shook her head in nothingness but seeing the man unwavering determination, she said, "I thought you were leaving because you got mad at me. So I got anxious, nothing else".

"Mad at you for?" he provoked more to get a little more close to her hesitant heart that has realized its feelings for him but was still stubborn to accept it fully.

Li Xue looked at him and did not know what reason she should give. Because the reasons she had in her mind was something that was really tough for her to put in words.

Taking all her time and his patience, she finally came up with one. But she was still not sure if it would ever be able to live the reason she wanted to present to him. "I thought I am not able to treat you better the same way you treat me. I felt I am not able to treasure you the way any other would have done if they have got a man like you in their life. I felt that I am …"

"No other but only you could treat me the way I want to be treated. There is nothing to fear. Even if you turn all indifferent to my love and care, I will still remain the same way I have ever been with you" he said, as he halted all her thoughts and words gazing into her eyes. Making her understand the intensity and sincerity of his words.

At the same time on the other side of the city,

"Father, what did you say to Sying? She was crying so hard", Zheng Wenting boomed with anger as he entered Zheng Household. His fists got clenched at the side, remembering how vulnerable Wen Sying looked when he went to visit her in the apartment, after receiving the call from Da – Xia.

Her tears stricken face was the most pitiful sight he has ever seen in his life. The pain in his heart for that sight was so unbearable that he could not control himself from coming to seek answers from his own parents.

"Ahh … look who is here? Is this still your home? We are rarely seeing you coming here. Since you are here today yelling at such a high pitch I can say you have come for some purpose", Zheng Haozhen said. There was a slight tinge of mockery which he was purposely aiming at his own son.

At this moment a lady came forward to interrupt his words, "Darling, why are you speaking like this to him? He is still our son. Can't he come to his own house?" It was Madame Zheng, who had come out hearing her son's voice.

"Huh! Is your son even here to visit his house? He must be here to defend that wicked girl with whom he is playing around", Mr Zheng said again and instantly a sharp breaking voice rang in the air.
