Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

"No, no, Li Xue, at this moment I can't afford to relax. Just assure me first that later you and brother will stand by my side, no matter what. That's all the promise I need from you now. So quickly give it to me." Feng Yi Lan urged with all her might.

And on her urge like that, Li Xue turned to look at Feng Shufen with a perplexed expression before again turning to her friend with a furrow on her brows. "Yi Lan, what are you saying? I am not getting anything you are asking. What has happened to make you like this? Explain it first."

She said, holding onto her in an attempt to calm her down. But Feng Yi Lan still looked all hyped up. Opening her lips, she was ready to detail the reason behind her urge but right at that moment, a concerned voice interrupted from the entrance, almost startling everyone in the room.

"LanLan, where did you get hurt? Did someone call the doctor?"

It was Qi Shuai, who has surprisingly appeared in disheveled appearance. From his hair, it could be said that after waking up from the bed late in the afternoon, the man has not gotten time to comb his hair before leaving his house for the day. But that was not just the only surprising thing in his demeanor, rather there was something else as well.

The genuine anxiousness for the woman. As if he was told something that has horrified his heart, making him rush all his way here.

Li Xue didn't miss the sight of the anxiousness in his eyes and slowly but evidently shifted to get close to Feng Shufen to say in a whisper, "Hey, Mr. Beelzebub, why do I feel that Yi Lan is up to stir something? Do you have any idea of it?"

Feng Shufen shook his head. "Don't worry I am there with you always." He said and his words like that couldn't help but make Li Xue give a gaze of speechlessness to the man.

Like really? This man was super impossible with the talent of getting over-narcissist occasionally.

Feng Yu Hao was also taken aback for a moment. He was sitting on his chair, enjoying the company of his grandchildren when the concerned voice of the young man took his attention. His brows also tugged together as he also looked at his daughter, checking for any visible injury on her.

Finding Feng Yi Lan the instant, Qi Shuai didn't stop at the entrance instead he ran up to check on her. "LanLan, show me, where did you get hurt? Is it still hurting?" He asked all over again. This time, bending to both sides to check on her legs and arms desperately on his own. But when he didn't find any injury on her skin, his frown only deepened more in apprehension. "Where is it? Is it internal?"

Feng Yi Lan pressed her lips with an expression of guilt. "Brother Shuai, I am all fine. There has been no injuries. It's just that there is something really important in which I needed your help, so I called you here like that. If not have lied, I feared that you might not have agreed to come here today. So …" Her words remained incomplete at the end but her intention was delivered well to the man.

Earlier, since it was a weekend, Qi Shuai was having his relaxing weekend sleep at home, forgetting all about his breakfast and lunch when suddenly the continuous ring of Yi Lan woke him up. And the moment, he picked the call he heard the painful hiss of the woman coming from the other side.

He has definitely heard her in pain and that's why he rushed here all so urgently in his casual-looking joggers and hoodie. But only now does he get to understand her acting skills could easily manipulate people. Especially him. And that too, all easily.

Suddenly realizing the event he had rushed to, he regretted as slowly he turned to look at everyone around. His eyes matched several relatives, before reaching to match the incomprehensible gaze of the Old Master of the family.

"Uncle Cutie, you have also come here. But why are you so late? We have already completed our lunch. If WeiWei had known that you would also be coming to join us, she would have requested Yéyé to wait for you." LittleWeiWei said, somewhere feeling bad for her Uncle. After all, she knew how big Whiny Uncle, her Uncle Cutie could become if not given proper attention and love. So, with her words, she tried her best to mend up to him.

Qi Shuai gave an awkward smile to her and then shook his head. "It's fine, little munchkin. I have already had my lunch." He said and then pressing his lips tight, whispered under his breath to Yi Lan.

"LanLan, what was so urgent that you couldn't wait for this gathering to end first. This is your family gathering where no outsider is meant to be present, including me. Then why did you call me here? Do you know how weird it has turned out for me?" He spoke and hearing her, on the side, Li Xue suppressed her smile.

Though she could feel the awkwardness of the man, she couldn't go forward to support him, since no matter what happens, she would always choose the side of her friend. And that's Feng Yi Lan. Not just because she was her friend but also because she knew that if in her place, Yi Lan would also do the same.

Feng Yi Lan pressed her lips in a tight line and didn't say anything in reply. And getting her silence, like that, Qi Shuai couldn't help but probe her more to reveal.

"LanLan, now don't be silent. Tell me, what's that urgent thing about? I am all feeling weird with everyone's gazes at me like that."

He spoke and finally, Feng Yi Lan opened her lips to say something.  "Brother Shuai, believe me, that's something that would have been tough for me to proceed without you. Your presence was needed so I called you. Wait for a while and you will know everything. Just be with me." She said before reaching out to entwine her finger with his, all boldly.

Everyone was taken aback by her that one bold move. Qi Shuai also felt a bit odd and wanted to pull away but, on his hands, Feng Yi Lan's hold remained firm.

Feng Yi Lan held him tight before tilting to look at Li Xue to say, "Li Xue, remember. Later you and brother have to support us, no matter what, okay?"

Li Xue was confused but still, she nodded as she saw the woman taking Qi Shuai forward towards the center of the hall.

Qi Shuai didn't understand but since she was taking him, he followed her all silently.

Reaching the central point of the room, Feng Yi Lan looked around at every relative that was held important in their family tree before pausing to look at her father to announce with all confidence on her expression.

"Father, sorry for bringing Brother Shuai here like this. But since today everyone was present here, I thought to take the chance to introduce him … as my boyfriend."
