Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

"None of their looks were capable to stand beside you!" Feng Shufen said simply, keeping his face and expressions straight as if nothing was wrong with his words. Even for a bit.

Li Xue was speechless witnessing his such confidence and so were Yi Lan and Qi Shuai.

For Qi Shuai, it was more like his jaws were dropped to the ground.

What do those words actually mean?

If we gonna see through the Devil's set criteria, who in the world could ever deserve to stand beside the Kalon if not the Devil, himself.

Qi Shuai shook his head, pitying the world. Brother, you can simply cut off the chase saying that you don't want any man around your wife. Why do you have to torture the mortal souls of this world?

"Brother…" Yi Lan wanted to say something at the moment but before she could recklessly sprout any nonsense out, she halted herself back.

While Li Xue could only stare at the innocence in his eyes. Could she even say something to him? Though there were many things to say at the moment, she found nothing suitable to say to the man.

So, in the end, she only moved her hands to hold Yi Lan's into hers while talking straight to Feng Shufen. "We will talk about this later, Mr. Beelzebub. But firstly, I and Yi Lan need to do some discussions. You can keep Director Qi company here, while we will go to the waiting room next door"

She said before pulling Yi Lan out with herself. But just when she was about to step out of the room, she paused in her steps only to turn around and say, "Mr. Beelzebub, you can control Yi Lan as Aurora Fashions but I won't just remain associated with one brand. There are many to come my way. So, it's better to keep yourself prepared early for good".

Li Xue said before finally pulling out from the room with Yi Lan in tow.

"Girl, you know that was hell daring!" Feng Yi Lan was all startled, seeing her friend so bold in front of her brother. None has ever dared to do that in history.

Li Xue didn't mind those words of admiration from her friend. Talking that way with the man was pretty normal for her, so when she heard Yi Lan specifically mentioning it, she shrugged them off, chuckling. "Really? I never noticed that."

While back in the room,

After the two women left, Feng Shufen took his steps to walk to the couch that was adjacent to Qi Shuai's bed.

"You are so silent today? Don't you have something to say?" Qi Shuai asked when saw his friend walking to take the silent seat on the couch.

Though he knew Shufen has always remained this aloof, he was still probing him to say something. Probing to hear something that he wanted to hear.

Feng Shufen looked at him nonchalantly, before shrugging his shoulders in denial. "Is there something that I need to say?"

"You… why are you so aloof and arrogant around me? I am here like this and still, you are so cruel to me. Can't you be a little kind? You even made me encounter the near-death last time. See, I still have the proof around my neck."

Qi Shuai whined like any other time, showing the bandaid on his neck. But this time the response of silence that he received from Shufen was not at all like the other times.

For the first time, seeing Feng Shufen silent like that ... scared him.  There were emotions in his aloof grey eyes but Qi Shuai was simply not capable to see those vulnerable emotions in those pairs. Those emotions made him look weak.

To Qi Shuai, Feng Shufen was born powerful, with whom the world could not dare to trifle with. He has always seen him like that and has loved him like that. Even with a cold and aloof personality, he was dear to him.

But today, looking at him, he wasn't looking anything the same as he has always seen him as rather he looked like he was scared to lose something that he has to hold precious all his life.

Did something happen between him and Xiao Xue? A thought struck his head when the idea of something precious rang in his mind. But then, seeing them all normal and attentive towards each other moments ago, it didn't feel suitable.

If not that, then what?

Not getting any hint, he was about to ask straightforward when suddenly a knock at the door interrupted.

"President Feng! Director Qi! May I come in?" It was the doctors who have come to do the regular check up on the man.

The expression on Feng Shufen went back as it was, without leaving any face behind while Qi Shuai was also back on his humorous side as he quickly nodded to approve.

"Of course, doctor. You should come in, otherwise if not you then I doubt my soul friend would be able to do the check up on me". He pinned, clearly waving off the remaining air behind.

The doctor laughed softly, keeping himself reined within his line of politeness as he shook his head. "Haha… there will be no need for these check-ups soon. You have already crossed the major phase of the crisis, now you will recover well and that too in a speed".  The doctor said as he came to his side to take his pulse.

"Yeah, of course, I have always maintained my body as well as the immune system well. Definitely, I will have a speedy recovery. There is no say in that". Qi Shuai boosted himself, making the doctor nod in agreement.

"Indeed! Indeed! Director Qi, do have a very good immune system. But apart from that, your reflexes are also quite strong and responsive. Otherwise, we were scared that your body would not be capable to recover from the paralysis the whole life".

The doctor informed and Qi Shuai nodded in flow.

"Of course, my body is capable enough…" he started to say but paused when realized something odd in the words.

What did he say? Paralysis! He was paralysed? When?

"Paralysis? What do you mean, doctor?" He asked. To which the doctor truthfully replied.

"Director Qi, you were injected with a serum that had paralysed your body for life. Though we have tried our best to drain that serum out of your system during surgery, we were still doubtful of its effect".
