Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

In the room, Li Xue was already fast asleep with WeiWei in her arms when she felt someone touch her neck. She has never been a deep sleeper so the moment she felt the touch, her eyes opened with alertness. But the next moment, her lips curled up in ease. "You are finally here to see me? I thought unless I go to coax you, you won't come to me."

She said, looking at Feng Shufen. But the man didn't reply to her words. Instead, his eyes remained on her neck, checking up her wound.

Li Xue understood her punishment and pressed her lips together in a pout. Sitting up a little, she secured WeiWei properly on the bed first before looking back at the man. "Are you going to give me a silent treatment now?" She asked and the man didn't say a word again. Instead, he leaned forward to take the medicine tube from the side table.

Feng Shufen wordlessly opened the tube and pressed some ointment on his fingers before applying it to the area softly around her wound. Li Xue stared at him.

"You have met the doctor. He must have said that I would recover soon. Are you still not satisfied?" Just by seeing him all familiar with her medicines, she could say that he has already met the doctor.

"…"

"Don't worry. None of my wounds ever left the marks. I am sure this will also not leave anything behind. It won't let me become ugly." Li Xue again tried. This time getting more sarcastic on herself. "And even if I turn ugly, won't I still be a beauty in your eyes, dear hubby?"

She said and this time her words earned her a gaze from him. She pulled a sheepish smile, waiting to hear his words. But just a glance was the things she got, the next moment, he turned back to look at her wounds, slowly applying the ointment to her skin to keep it moisturized.

Li Xue pouted. This was torture and she would definitely not be going to take it anymore. If it had been before, she might have endured it. But since he has spoiled her already with his pampering, she won't hesitate to take advantage of it.

Her eyes stared at him for some more time. At first, there was a determination in her ambers but then slowly it dimmed, and just when Feng Shufen would not have noticed it, it went close accompanied with a hiss of pain. "Ahh!" She cried and at that moment, Feng Shufen's movements halted.

He looked up at her face, his brows furrowed in equal pain. "Did it hurt?" He asked, staring at her face for once and then trailing to look back at her neck where the wound was.

"…" Li Xue didn't reply, but her expression grew more intense as if she was in extreme pain. With her eyes closed, she leaned back on the bedpost, and Feng Shufen panicked.

"Is it hurting?" He asked and then stood up. "Hold on! I will call the doctor." He added and then turned to leave.

But right at the moment, Li Xue held his hands, halting him in his steps. "It's over, I won the game. You spoke, breaking your silence and now you are not allowed to go back in that silent zone." She said and Feng Shufen's eyes turned to glare at her.

Li Xue almost felt that she has stepped on the snake's tail. Feeling the lump in her throat, she tried to swallow down that look of the man, as stuttering in her words, she said, "H-Hey Mr. Beelzebub, I am already here like this. Do you still have to give me that cold-scary treatment?"

"Cold-scary treatment?" Feng Shufen repeated her words. His voice came very deep like asking her to give special notice before choosing the words.

Li Xue understood his warning and tried to grasp the hold of her courage. "Fine, not a cold but it's damn scary. I am scared to look at you like that. Do you have to scare me? Do you know how many things are there that I want to share with you and also seek your advice in?"

She said and Feng Shufen looked at her with a poker expression as if although he has heard her, he was still not ready to compromise.

Li Xue pursed her lips. "I am telling you. There are many important things. If you don't hear me now, later don't blame me for not sharing it with you." She said and when still saw the man not responding to her, she added. "It's about what happened to me today. About the person who might be responsible for the thing. You still don't want to hear it?"

"What do you mean?" he asked with a frown of seriousness and Li Xue knew this would happen. After all, even though the man could be hell upset with her, he would still not go to the point where his mood would overpower his love for her. That was just not his nature and she knew it.

Li Xue looked at him before gesturing him to look behind at the corner. He turned to check only to find a pair of shoes there. He didn't wait to hear Li Xue continue, instead, he walked on his own to check.

It didn't take long for him to find what was wrong in the shoes. Looking up at Li Xue, he asked, "Do you suspect anyone other than the one who was involved?"

Li Xue shrugged. "I don't know exactly. But one thing is for sure. Princess Shen wasn't the one to do this. Though she had the sharp weapon and she was aggressive in the arena, her motive was just to scare me out with simple bruises. Harming me like this wasn't her intention. I was there with her and knowing her moves, I am confident of it."

She said and Feng Shufen's eyes grew dark at it.
