Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

In the hospital,

Li Xue was sitting outside the operation theatre. Her expression was full of anxiousness as her eyes were simply not leaving the red bulb lighted over the headwall of the OT. She wasn't alone there. Shin You Jun along with Shen Bingling was sitting in one corner while Jing Wei Jin was standing in the other corner, staring at Li Xue with his usual smile on his lips.

"You Jun, who is that man? Based on his gaze towards your sister, I feel that he has got some desires in his heart for her." Shen Bingling was a girl and she was not unaware of the gazes that men in love behold. And right at the moment, she could say that the handsome man was deeply and sincerely in love with Li Xue.

Although Li Xue seemed to have no light in her eyes for him, which suitor would be called a suitor if he or she gives up after rejection. After all, in the end, persistence is the key to success.

Shin You Jun looked at Jing Wei Jin and he almost rolled his eyes. "His desires don't matter, since my sister would simply not look at him. Not even on his tenth birth." He said and, in his tone, there was unbending confidence.

Shen Bingling looked at Jing Wei Jin more and seemed a bit doubtful. "Why could that be? He is not that bad. He is handsome and based on his care and feelings, I feel he is not a bad choice for her."

"Heh! Who cares about the choices she has when her eyes are fixed on only one?" Shin You Jun spoke very reasonably and on his say like that, Shen Bingling turned to look at him with curiosity.

"Is her boyfriend really so capable and handsome that no one could stay at par with him?" She asked and Shin You Jun shrugged before gesturing to her to look at Li Xue.

"You can say that seeing the group of handsome men he left behind in the protection of his woman? Which man would you think would be capable to do that?" He said, bitterly accepting the majestic-ness of his brother-in-law. After all, he knew that he could not always deny the truth.

Shen Bingling looked at the group of men and has to admit. Even though she has heard You Jun calling Li Xue's boyfriend a Devil before, she must say that in this world it was rare to see a man believing his woman around handsome men. This rarity could only happen when the man was confident enough to know that other than him, no man would be able to tempt his woman.

So, what must Li Xue's boyfriend be like to hold such high confidence?

"Madam!" While Li Xue was sitting waiting to hear the doctor's words, a group of men came to surround her with a guilty expression. Li Xue looked up at them, only to find them looking down on the floor with regret. "We are really sorry, Madam. We were appointed to look after your safety yet we have been incompetent to not be around you when it was needed. We are really sorry. Please punish us."

They said, and Li Xue shook her head before standing up. She knew they were not to be blamed since it had always been her who took things casually. It was her wrong to never understand the seriousness of the things around her. But before she could tell them a word, from the side, Jing Wei Jin stepped in.

"Exactly! You should apologize. Do you know what the world would have suffered if something happened to your Madam? It was all your good fortune that I reached there on time to save her otherwise, your Master would have just not finished you but would have put the whole world in peril."

He said and Li Xue just glared at him. She was thankful that he came to her rescue but who said he could talk to her people like that. "Jing Wei Jin, you have saved me, and for that I thank you but you better not overstep your boundaries to say a word to my people, especially when you don't know the scenarios."

"What to know about the scenarios? Isn't it already known? They have been incompetent in protecting you." Jing Wei Jin still chose to play with fire and Li Xue couldn't be more bothered by him. Glaring at him to keep shut, she turned to look at the people and said in an equally guilty tone.

"Please don't apologize. You all weren't at fault because it was me who had played tricks on you. You were just following my orders. Anyway, if there is someone who has to apologize it has to be me because I have been the one who interrupted your words and prevented you from following the orders. So please don't take the blame." She said and right at that moment, the door of the operation theatre opened.

Li Xue at once turned and then walked to the doctor the moment she saw him coming out of the operation theatre. "Doctor, how is he? The bullet …"

"Don't worry. We have removed the bullet. But since he has lost some excess blood, to relieve him from the pain and provide him with full rest, we have given him a sedative. Once he regains his consciousness, he could get the discharge." Knowing the concern of the lady, the doctor stated out all the details himself before walking away.

Later, from the operation theatre, Du Fan was wheeled out to the general ward. Li Xue looked at him as the hospital's staff took him away. She was about to follow but before she could even take a step ahead, she was halted by a tug on her arms.

Her brows tugged in a frown as she turned to look at Jing Wei Jin who had held her by her wrist. "You are still anxious? Now even the doctor said that he is fine. It's time for you to go and get your wounds treated."

Li Xue looked at her arms. Her fair skin did have cuts and scratches but it was nothing major. "It's okay. I am fine. I will wait to see him gain consciousness first." She said and tried to yank her arm back but his hold remained firm. "What? Leave me."

"You need to stay careful, my dear. You might think this to be minor but you may not know that these wounds might not be as simple as you think." He said, and even though his words seemed normal on the surface, Li Xue knew the meaning wasn't as simple as it seemed.

Her eyes turned to look at Shin You Jun and Shen Bingling, whose eyes were staring at her and concentratedly hearing their talks. Her brows raised at them as she said, "Can you two help me have an eye on Mr. Du's condition? I will be right back." She said and the intention behind her words was clear to say.

Shin You Jun and Shen Bingling nodded before walking away. "Fine, we would go then. Come soon."

When she saw them no longer around, she turned back to look at Jing Wei Jin as she asked, "So, you were saying something?" Her tone seemed like a chance that she was offering to the man to reveal it to her.
