Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

Li Xue didn't realize when it was already evening. After a long time, she was sleeping like this with her little one and the feeling was as she had last remembered. All comfy and warm. Until the chirps of the birds at the sunset reached her ears, she didn't feel like it was time for getting up for the evening.

Opening her eyes, she looked around. The room was in the silent darkness, but there was the source of soothing brightness coming out from the room. She looked on her side and there her princess was still sleeping with peacefulness written on her face. Not just on her face, Li Xue could feel the peace from all around. This feeling was so rare and has come after a long decade.

Reasons? She was not sure about it but she wouldn't dare to deny the important components behind it. Her little princess, Mr. Beelzebub, and also the type of complete family she never had.

Smiling faintly, she sat up on the bed, carefully to not wake up her princess. Easing her muscles, she took her phone from the side to check the time and turned again to look out of the door. "Is he still working in the study?" She thought to herself, before getting down to check.

While she went out, she made sure that her movements didn't interrupt the sleep of her princess. She lit a small light in the room, making sure that later when awake, her dear doesn't get scared of darkness.

Walking out of the room, she saw although the lights were on everywhere, there was no one around. No doubt, she got up late, everyone must have already left. Pressing her lips together, she walked up to the study, giving a soft knock at the door before opening it up to see.

"You have not gone to your office?" She asked, still finding the man sitting behind his desk. Though he had worked all day, he was still looking all proper, as if whatever he did was all easy for him to handle and he was not a bit tired from it. "WeiWei has skipped her school today and you have skipped your company. If people came to know, they would definitely curse me for hindering both of your necessary works."

Li Xue said and then entered inside, pursing her lips at him.

Feng Shufen folded his files aside and stood up to walk up to her. "We are not going to reveal it to anyone. Don't worry, you would be safe." He said and then reaching her, he bent his head a bit down to check on her wounds. "How is this? Is it still feeling itchy?"

Li Xue shook her head. "No longer. I feel like the concoction Sister Margaret made me have earlier has suited my body constitution. I am no longer feeling the itchiness around that wound and also the stinging pain seems less." She said and treating her words with seriousness, the man nodded.

"Good. Did you sleep well?" He asked and like an obedient girl, Li Xue nodded to him without raising any question.

"Do you want to have some snacks?" He asked again before checking the time on his watch, "It's already evening you must be hungry?"

And at that question, Li Xue pursed her lips, squinting her eyes at him. She took a step back to pull a distance from him and then keeping her hands on her hips, she said, "Mr. Beelzebub, what are you trying to do? I came here to ask why haven't you been to the office today? And if not gone, then why didn't you come to take a rest? You have been working here for the whole day without taking even a blink of a nap. And now that I am asking you, you are asking me back if I want to have something in the snacks."

She said and Feng Shufen simply shook his head to say. "I took my rest."

Li Xue couldn't believe his words simply. "You took your rest? When?" She asked and the man nodded to reply.

"When you and WeiWei were sleeping, I came to take a check on you and sat there for some time."

"And that much was enough for you?" She asked with disbelief and chuckling at her expression, Feng Shufen accepted.

"That was enough for me since there was still a lot to do."

He said and Li Xue looked behind at his desk. There were files separated into two sections. Seeing them, she couldn't doubt his words. "So now, did you complete all of your work? If I would ask you to take me out, will you be able to take me?" She asked and Feng Shufen agreed without even looking behind at the remaining files.

"Sure. If you want, we can go." He said and Li Xue pouted at him, before reaching out to pinch him.

"Mr. Beelzebub! You don't have to spoil me every time. I can see you have still a lot to do. So go back and complete your work first. I will prepare something in the kitchen to have for the snacks." She said and then pushed the man back towards his chair.

Feng Shufen rejected. "It's okay. I can manage."

"No, you can't manage it, Mr. Beelzebub. Go and sit first. Do your work. I am not hungry and if I get hungry, will go to the kitchen to prepare something." She said before forcing the man on the chair and opening the closed file for him.

Feng Shufen still wanted to disagree, but before he could say anything, Li Xue's phone rang and the woman didn't delay in receiving it. "Mr. Beelzebub, be nice. Do your work, while I take this call." She said before connecting the call.

While she walked to the corner with her phone, Feng Shufen didn't fail to notice the name of Shin You Jun on the phone's screen.

He went back to work, but from time to time, he noticed the woman frowning. He didn't interrupt, rather kept on with his work until finally, Li Xue turned back to look at him with a complicated expression.

"What happened? Is there something, you want to talk about?" Feng Shufen asked, looking up at her.

Li Xue thought for a moment before saying, "Mr. Beelzebub, I have decided to help my family. Will you agree to it?" She asked and Feng Shufen raised his brows of amusement at her.

"Your family?" He asked and Li Xue nodded. "If I deny, will you accept it?" He asked further.

Li Xue's confident expression wavered, for a moment, not believing his words. "But didn't you say, you would support me in whatever I would decide? I thought you would agree. Furthermore, I remember you were saying that I should give a chance to them if I feel their gestures and emotions for me have been sincere. Now, why are you suddenly not agreeing to it?"

"I would have agreed if your plans wouldn't have been dangerous. But now, I can clearly see something wild written in your eyes. How can I allow it?" He said, his expressions all firm without showing any hint of compromise.
