Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

Feng Yi Lan was at once flushed red when she realized where she went wrong. Her eyes blinked to hide her embarrassment, as her gaze darted to everywhere in the room but Qi Shuai.

Looking her so red in fluster, Qi Shuai could not help but chuckle out at the turn of the events. Since the call was still ongoing on his phone, he thought to wrap it first before making it clear with the woman.

Teasingly, Qi Shuai started, "Ohh my dear, BaoBao. You don't know how lucky I am and believe me I won't be able to give you the full story on the call. If you want to know it then better bring yourself here tomorrow to meet her. As you know, she is staying back in the hospital just to take care of me". He said as his eyes suggestively stared at the woman standing in front of him, before disconnecting the call

At his shameless talk, Feng Yi Lan could not help but knit her brows and open her mouth to speak something but … however, no words seemed to come into her thoughts to bring up at the moment. "You …"

"Is there anything else?" Seeing her begin, Qi Shuai asked instinctively. His eyes brimming with both happiness and excitement. Finally, he has got the confession he was waiting and begging to hear.

"Nope, there is nothing. It's already late and you should sleep now" Since things have already gotten like this, Feng Yi Lan only found it best to drop the topic where it was and move on for the night, otherwise, it would be only her at the losing end.

She said and was about to turn away to walk back but at this moment, she was halted by her wrist, bringing a pause to her proceeding steps.

"LanLan, we have to talk, I guess".

Feng Yi Lan's heart thumped hard inside her chest. Though there was no sweat on her skin, she still felt that her palms grew clammy at that second. Why was it like this? She was so tough before but the moment she heard the man saying those words to her, she lost all the strictness she was trying to hold hard all this time.

"D-Director Qi, whatever I said earlier it was nothing. I was just being careful of you. Since I am taking care of you now, I need to be sure that you get proper sleep so that you can recover soon and return to the side of my brother" Her words came out very solemn but between them, Qi Shuai could still feel the sense of warmth she was hiding within.

This time he would not let her close her walls again. Since he got the chance today, he will not let it go without making good use of it.

Qi Shuai's eyes shone lightly as he asked, "Really? Was that the only reason?"

Feng Yi Lan felt a little off in his words as his words meant some other meaning that was just not visible on the surface. So, to make her words from before more clear, she re-enunciated them. "Yes, Director Qi! That was it. I said all that because it was getting late, and given your health, you should take proper sleep first".

Qi Shuai nodded, keeping his stare still on her. Then with one tug on her wrist, he brought her to sit on the bed with him, capturing her all with his gaze. "Since it was all for bringing me to a sound sleep, then where do you think you are leaving?"

The woman was confused. "What do you mean?" She asked, not understanding what he meant with his words.

"Sleep with me here." Qi Shuai casually answered, making the woman furrow her brows.

"Huh?"

"Sleep with me here. It's already late. What else are you thinking?" he said as he quickly shifted, making space beside to let the woman lie along with him.

"Huh? Are you insane?" Feng Yi Lan rebutted the next moment, understanding what his words actually meant and what were his intentions behind. "I will rest on the couch instead". She said, pulling her hands back from his grasp before taking her steps away. But was again paused in her steps when heard the man behind.

"Hence, it meant you were lying before when you said that all those words on the call with BaoBao were just in concern of me. That you just wanted me to take proper sleep to recover".

"…" Feng Yi Lan's brows knitted together, as she turned back to stare at the mischievous eyes of the man. What was he up to now? "I was telling the truth. Don't think too much. I just want you to recover so that you could return to the company".

"I believe you . It's just that your words don't seem to match with your rejection. You said you want me to have proper sleep, yet when I asked you to sleep with me. You are hesitating".

"How are they related?"

"Of course, they are. After your words today, I could only have a proper sleep when I have you in my arms. So, come and sleep with me so that I can recover well and return to the company soon". He said as he gently patted on the bed, inviting her onto it.

Feng Yi Lan could only be speechless. With her words earlier, did she shoot her own leg? She never thought of it that way. But now, she was compelled to follow him.

On the other hand, Gao Fan was shocked to discover the fact. With a slight furrow of his brows, he stared at his President, who did not need any evidence to guess the things. His expression was way calm as if he had known this from a long way before.

"President Feng, the two groups do seem interconnected as you have said. But still, except for that interrelation, their joint involvement doesn't make any sense in this case as there seems to be no movement from Europe. We can't be sure." The secretary said as he quickly passed the report file he had made in the hands of Feng Shufen to look.
