Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

Li Xue was confused at his words. Don't people always use the words like 'thank you' to show their gratitude and 'sorry' to show their apology. That's the most customary thing happening around the society. Of course these things go in the verbal terms.

Holding an expression of confusion, she stared at the man more and more deeply into his sterling gray eyes but never thought that this will only guide her into the trap he has laid for her. Those eyes were so calm and mesmerizing to look at but there was a mystery inside. A mystery that was pulling her more inside it.

Feng Shufen looked at the woman who was staring at him, concentrating all her brain cells to read the meaning within his words. Her amber eyes were enticing him to tease her and keep her all for himself.

Her head was slightly thrown backwards to look up at him, which was further enabling him to get a better look at her facial features under the dazzling light of the crystal chandelier. That soft skin was urging him to ...

Cognizing his own weird thoughts, he quickly shook his head internally. What the hell he was thinking? He looked at the little piece who was still in his embrace with her arms wrapped around his neck and then came back to look at the mother who was no less than the former.

Both were giving him a hard time and were changing many things inside and around him without putting any tough efforts. At this moment he sighed at the people who called him a tough man. Because looking at this pair around him, he no more thought he was a tough one anymore.

Sizing up the things again, he said "I don't take sincerity in the form of words. If one is sincere, then he or she should let their sincerity reach the person it is dedicated". He said and took the little girl to sit on the nearest sofa. Sitting her on one of his legs, he looked at the woman whose eyes were trained on his every movement as if trying to scrutinize him like he has done with her moments before.

Li Wei didn't mind the change in her position. She dangled her legs down and looked at the man with a smile as if she was framing her sentence in mind to present him in the best way.

The little girl has long forgotten her mother. She has engrossed herself in the warm embrace she was into. But her presence of mind was not weak, it was still at the scene. She was hearing everything and also grasping the things, she was finding knowledgeable. When she heard her Handsome Angel quote such words, she quickly added her words while nodding her head.

"Handsome Angel, your words are so similar to the words Mama has told me once. She said, we should always be sincere with words like 'thank you' and 'sorry', so that it could reach people's heart and they can feel it"

The man gave a smile to the little one and then said in a very tone that intensified his mysterious eyes directed towards Li Xue. "True, your mother taught you the right thing. Speak with your actions not your words"

The woman who was silent all this while caught the thing that she was missing. The man she was facing wasn't any simple, rather he had some motives in his eyes. It was yet to be known what were those unapparent motives. So weighing her words on a very calculative scale, she said "Sorry Mister! I don't know what you were intending with your words earlier. But when I said 'thank you', I meant it sincerely and about that 'sorry', it was really my fault for not seeing what was ahead of me. I was sincere with my words"

The man looked at her with a smile and that smile made her throat run dry. This man's beauty gets double insane, when he smiles. But why the smile he was giving to her was whole 360 degrees different from the one he gave to her daughter. It felt more like it was an allure to trap a prey. She remarked internally.

Feng Shufen looked at the woman and was amazed with the solemn fierceness her amber eyes held while stating herself at a right stand. "Hey little, do you love reading?" he asked the little girl on his lap.

Little Li really loved to read. It was nothing new to the world where her sensible and intelligent words tell the whole tale about it. So when asked about her likes regarding books she nodded. "I love to read the  books which has pictures in it"

"Good! I have got you something", he said as he carefully placed the girl back at the seat and got up to bring her something.

After a while he returned with a book. "Here. See if you like this" he said as he extended the book towards Little Li Wei. Taking the book in her hands, the little girl did not show any difficulty in reading the title aloud. 'Gulliver's Travel'

She was really a whizz – kid with exceptional qualities in academics. Both her voice and words were very clear to people's ears like she has practiced it many times to get that perfection.

"Handsome Angel, did you buy this for me?" she asked looking at him.

Feng Shufen shook his head in denial, "No, my nephew forgot this here last time. If you like this, then I will get you some more next time you come. For now, just try this and tell me how is it?".

The little girl was a really sensible and obedient one to the people she loved. And there was no doubt she loved her Handsome Angel. So how can she not be obedient to his words. As he completed his words, Li Wei already started her work of reading. Her eyes got so trained into the book. She has engrossed herself in a way that if anyone sees her now would feel like she has transmigrated to another world where no one was around.

Getting the little piece busy, the man was ready to focus his attention at the woman who has got his interest hard. He wanted to know her more, reveal her more, unveil her real side more. The side which has captured all his attention.

Turning to her he took his steps towards her. No words came out his lips, it was only his eyes that were looking deep into her. The gaze that was making her step back unconsciously. Her heart thumped but this time it was not alone, there was another thumping in the air too but it was too faint for her to realize.

When Feng Shufen stopped at his desirable distance with her, only three steps away. Maintaining his eyes on her eyes he said, "Sincerity is impossible unless it pervades your heart and soul. It is not a test of truth, nor the evidence of conduct", he paused and then continued again, "Think it like this, a person can take poison believing it as a medicine that can cure him, but will that poison really save his life?"

Li Xue was taken aback with his words. She never thought that her small 'thank you' and 'sorry' will make her encounter something like this. She looked at him and his gaze clearly burned her, not allowing her to think of the words with which she could retaliate.

Not able to take his intense stares anymore, she asked at the end "So how should I make you feel my sincerity?"

"Prove it with your actions" he said in nonchalance without giving much thought it was like he had planned all his words a way before.

Li Xue raised her brows at his words asking him to elaborate. Feng Shufen has never faced someone's raised brows in his lifetime. It was new for him. If it would be anyone else who has dared to look into his eyes so daringly, then he would have already been blinded by now. But looking at this woman doing it, he found it quite adorable.

"Think it yourself or wait for me to decide", he said and turned to go back beside the little girl who was still engrossed in the book with her sweet serious expression.

Li Xue was struck with his words. What does that mean? Did he order her just now? Why is she being ordered? There is no way she would be taking his orders?
