Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

"So it's finally done. I will ask my people to alter it a bit and it will be delivered to you by tomorrow. Wait for it then" Feng Yi Lan said as she separated the dress chosen aside from the rest. "By the way, I must say you have quite a good compatibility with my brother. Choosing the same dress that has come out of his design draft."

"His design draft? Did he design it?" Li Xue's brows raised as she once looked at the dress she has decided on. Was that Mr. Beelzebub's choice for her? She was not sure since she had never imagined him designing any dresses before.

Feng Yi Lan turned around to stare at her and nodded, "Mhm. You can say so. But not completely since he just doodled out his thought and then crumpling it down he threw it away in the dustbin. Later I picked it up and asked my designers to help it out a bit with expertise so that I can earn some extra profit. After all, a design crafted in the thoughts of the great Feng Shufen couldn't be undervalued."

"Women must have gone beyond anyone's imagination to get it. But seems like the universe doesn't want me to be greedy. That's why with so many options in front of your eyes, you still chose the one that would have earned me millions." She added, sighing between her words.

Li Xue looked at the dress and her lips curled up with admiration. "Yes, this dress matches his aesthetic sense. How did I not realize it before?" She said and at her those words, Feng Yi Lan opened and closed her mouth without saying anything.

"Li Xue, that was all you had to say after hearing all of my words?" Feng Yi Lan asked, not believing. Though she knew that her friend was charmed by her brother, she never imagined her fangirling around him until now.

Li Xue didn't understand her words, so turning to her she asked, "Did I say something wrong? I mean, do I have to say something else?"

"Girl, I cried for profits in front of you and you are here praising my brother. What wrong do you think you are doing? Don't you think that you should have sacrificed this dress so that by selling it to some other woman, I can earn some super extra profit?" Feng Yi Lan said and without giving her any other moment to say more, Li Xue rejected her straightaway.

"I could think to sacrifice anything but not him." She said and her words held the seriousness that even paused Feng Yi Lan in her thoughts to make her rethink once again about her words.

But feeling not too wrong about her words, Feng Yi Lan reached out to hold her hands to explain. "Darling, I didn't mean to ask you to sacrifice him. I just said that's what you should have said to keep me as the priority. Don't you feel the pain when I lose money?"

Li Xue scratched the corner of her brows. Of course, she didn't intend to scare her girlfriend. It was just on the spur of moment; she couldn't take in the thought of leaving Feng Shufen in any condition. "I am sorry, Yi Lan. I didn't mean it like that. I just wanted to say that even if I don't sacrifice that dress, you could still earn a lot. Want to hear how?"

Feng Yi Lan's brows tugged together as suspiciously, she looked at Li Xue to ask, "How?"

Li Xue's lips curled up at the corners as drawing a little close to her ears, she said, "Ask someone to call your brother and ask him to pay for the dress chosen by his wife, the future matriarch of Feng family. I am sure at that time, he would pay whatever price you decide."

She suggested and Feng Yi Lan stood there frozen for a second, unable to believe those words. Then pulling away from her, she stared at her as if she was staring at some alien to say, "Girl, what are you reading these days? How could you be this cunning and proper at playing cards? Who would dare to deny bearing the cost of the dress for the matriarch of the family? Even the people who hate you wouldn't be audacious enough. Furthermore, a dress for the wife of Feng Shufen and the matriarch of the Feng family couldn't cost less. There would definitely be high profits."

She said and Li Xue shrugged her shoulders. "Exactly, so don't cry for the profits, rather think that except for your brother, no one would be able to pay higher for it."

And that was the point when Feng Yi Lan felt like almost kneeling to kowtow the girl. Even in the dreams, she wouldn't have been able to think it that way.  "Bravo! I want to clap for you dear. Luckily, I have a best friend like you. Otherwise, in no way would I have the source to make my brother empty his pockets. But now, not just source, I even have an idea that would never be a failure."

Li Xue chuckled. But then shaking her head, she added, "Though this is a good plan, Yi Lan. Try to be less greedy. Because as you know you might earn a lot with this dress but later your brother would have hundreds of ways to make you pay back. So, be a bit cautious in naming the price, okay?"

Feng Yi Lan pouted. "Hey! On whose side, are you? I felt you were on my side just a second ago but now I feel like you are again getting on my brother's side. Remember I am your friend whom you met before than you met my brother."

Li Xue shook her and then went back to take her comfortable seat on the sofa to say. "I can't choose a side between you two. But always, I would think more for you, dear. That's why I let you know both the way and the limitations of the idea. Now it's up to you to decide." She said and Feng Yi Lan pouted disappointedly at her.

She was about to say something more but as she opened her mouth to say it, Li Xue's phone rang on her side, revealing the name of You Jun on the screen.

Li Xue, shushed her for a moment, before receiving the call to answer. But before she could say anything on the phone, a super quiet, yet anxious voice came from the other side to report. "Hey, Elder Sister, there is something really fishy going on in the family, especially between the Shens. Do you know as a result it has shaken the whole of our family?"
