Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

"Ughh … this hospital really has a poor network connection here. The call is not going through" Li Xue said with a huff as she tried calling Feng Yi Lan again and again.

Feng Shufen's eyes were continuously staring at her but he didn't say anything in response. The faint smile on his lips was telling that he was enjoying teasing her.

When the woman caught that smile of his, she asked, putting her hands over her hips, "Mr Beelzebub, are you laughing at my misery?"

The man simply shook his head in denial, "Why would I?" He said and then leaned a little forward to look into his phone as he added his words, "The network frequency of this area has been jammed just after the King was admitted here. Do you think they will leave such a minor loophole in the security of the Royals?"

Li Xue's mouth went agape as she accusingly pointed a finger at the man and said, "You … you knew it all this time? Yet you didn't tell me? Was it fun watching me getting irritated like that?"

Shufen smiled mildly and nodded. "Haven't I said to you that I like you when you are like a wild cat. Your irritation brings that wildness on the surface of your personality. So, what do you think?"

"I … you … You know I have named you all correctly. You are truly Mr Beelzebub without any adulteration. Hmph!" she snorted as she slumped back on the couch with arms folded at front.

Feng Shufen could not control the chuckle. "I never had any doubt in my wife's intelligence or how my WeiWei would be this unimaginably intelligent. It must be your excellent genes, Darling!"

Li Xue squinted her eyes at him as she retorted, "She seems to get more devilish genes in her which are becoming active these days. For sure, it must be your contribution?"

And the other instant, silence shrouded both of the beings. The woman's expression got stiff for a second while the man's fingers that were tapping on the display screen of his phone came to a halt.

But just when Li Xue thought that it would require her explanation the man said, "I have not thought of it before but now looking at our daughter I agree. She is more like me. Shouldn't daughters always be that way? Their personalities taken after their fathers".

Li Xue was speechless. This man was truly narcissist. When she has thought that she has pricked his weakest nerve, he came out to accept it as if that was the most delightful knowledge for him. "Mr Beelzebub, that should have been …"

Before she could complete her words, Feng Shufen forwarded his phone to her. "Here you can use my phone to make the call," he said and Li Xue looked at him like he had grown three heads. Reaching out to his phone, she asked with some astonishment in her tone. Excited like a cat who was presented to a ball of yarn to play. Her pair of ambers gave a shine of golden light!

"Didn't you say that the phone networks have been jammed around us? Then how does your phone network work with just a few taps?" she asked as her eyes looked at the phone's taskbar to find the network availability.

Feng Shufen's phone was designed with some exclusive features that helped both in his business and also in maintaining his security. His phone was upgraded with a high – tech quad-band software that allows network at several frequencies. Just a few taps to change the network frequency was all that required to beat the cell phone network jammers.

"Did I please you? What do I deserve as a reward?" He asked shamelessly. Such shamelessness was definitely not in his character. He had the worst in his books but not this clinginess. But at this time, seeing her full of childishness, he tried to bring this side too. He has heard her say once.

'Mr. Beelzebub, we should not hesitate in showing our childish side to the ones we believe enough to know that they would not judge and leave us knowing our true self. Keeping a childish side inside us alive is not a bad thing. Maturity can not bring us the real happiness always'

Li Xue looked at him and pressed her lips together. Opening her mouth, she was about to say something when suddenly heard some ruckus outside and then next came the knock.

Li Xue's attention went to look at the door and Feng Shufen's brows furrowed looking at the same. The woman turned to look at the man and waited to see his response. She knew that without getting any permission from inside, the bodyguards would not be letting them enter. And the stiffness that Shufen was having on his face was like he was preparing to call the war anytime.

Giving his threatening calls a break, Li Xue answered the knock, on behalf of both. Her one hand already over his, trying to soothe his flurrying nerves of fury.

"Please come in!" She responded to the knock and then the door was opened to reveal the old butler with the same bodyguard and nurse as before. But something was changed in the air.

Li Xue looked at the bodyguard as her eyes got narrowed to find what she was missing. It was then she heard him say, "I apologize for my audacious rudeness from before, Mrs Feng. I have not known your identity before."

"Oh, that! It's okay. Seeing your attitude before my thoughts about royal guards got a little clear. I already came to understand that your polite, dignified attitude is just a show to maintain the name of royals when it's not something in your true behaviour. But that's fine, if I ever get a chance to meet His Majesty, I will let him know this drawback". Li Xue said with a soft but taunting smile on her lips.

The bodyguard's bones went stiff as he could not bring himself to straighten his eyes to meet with the lady's. Her words not only scared him but also made him ashamed.

The old butler looked at the lady with some interest as if he was trying to get some of his thoughts clear and then said after giving an air clearing cough.

"Mrs Feng, I apologize on the stand of our bodyguard and I assure you that he will be disciplined well in the future" As he said, an amiable smile covered his face, though Li Xue could still see the line of nervousness behind.

Nodding, she said, "I know that he will be disciplined. After all the Royal family are strict about the way their people carry themselves. For now, you can move to the point, Sir. I can see you are here for some other reasons". Her words were direct to the point, making the old man shrank a little backwards.

The butler can feel two dominating presence at the same time. The one he had expected from the moment he entered but the second one from the lady was something he had not expected, seeing how kind and she was before.

"I know earlier you have already disagreed to help but we are again here to ask the same. His Majesty needs your help to make out this situation. I request you to consider your decision once again".
