Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

On the other side of the city, Zhang Xiaotong was walking back and forth in her room with anxiousness on her face. She was holding tight to her phone as if she was waiting for someone's call. After a while, her phone finally showed the hints that relieved her. But before she could receive it, it was disconnected.

Her brows tugged in a frown as without giving any moment of thought to it, she returned the call to begin with a tone of desperation. "What do you mean by that? Do you know how long I have been waiting for your call?"

"Xiaotong …" Before the person could speak from the other side, Zhang Xiaotong interrupted to say.

"Explain it later. First, tell me, is she dead already?" As Zhang Xiaotong asked that, her eyes shone with a crazy glint of evilness. She looked like she was possessed by a demoness. She didn't even hear what the other side had to say and chuckled in victory before. "Finally, she is gone. I can't tell you how happy I am. Now, Brother FenFen would be mine."

"X-Xiaotong, our plan failed. Nothing happened to her. She is still alive." Hesitating, the person on the other end of the call said. But before she could add more of her words, a snapping voice halted her sharply.

"What did you say?" Zhang Xiaotong asked. "Didn't you say that it would be a success this time? Then how the hell did we fail again?"

"Xiaotong, our plan was perfect and she would have been dead for sure but right when those men could pull the trigger, someone else came to her rescue and she was saved."

Zhang Xiaotong wasn't in the mood to entertain those faulty reasons. She just wanted Li Xue out of her way, the reasons for her getting saved were of no good to her. "Isn't Brother FenFen out of the country, then how did he come to rescue her?" It simply didn't make sense. She has planned the things in a way that when attacked, Li Xue would have no one to even get her to the hospital. Then how come someone reached her on time to save her?

"Shufen is is still out of the country. He didn't reach her. It was someone else."

"Someone else? Didn't she have just a little chick here and no lineage? Then how did she suddenly get someone to save her?" Zhang Xiaotong seethed in anger. She had a lot of expectations from today but in the end, everything ended in failure. Now, she wanted nothing but to know the very cause of it.

The person on the other end of the call sighed as if disappointment had also struck her equally. "That woman, Li Xue, isn't as simple as anyone thinks. She had people, after all, she is the same woman who has got a scandalous past and a baby whose father remained unknown for years."

At those suggestive words, Zhang Xiaotong paused. Tugging her brows with some thought, she asked, "Scandalous past? Do you mean that there is a possibility that she has been betraying Brother FenFen behind his back? Hasn't it already proven through DNA reports that …"

"I don't believe that report. Especially not after today, when to her rescue, it was not just anyone but her old flame who reached out to protect her. There must be something between them, otherwise, why would anyone want to stake their life and turn the whole world upside down to protect her."

That did make sense. There seemed no other reason. To protect someone with your everything, nothing other than love made sense. As Zhang Xiaotong thought of it, her jaws clenched in frustration. How bi*ch a woman could be? If she already had someone, why did she snatch her Brother FenFen from her?

"Does Brother FenFen know about her affair?" She asked and the other person on the call fell silent.

But after a while, a reply came, "If he had known then maybe he wouldn't have loved her so much to an extent of defying his own family and relatives."

"I would make that woman pay for it. For keeping me away from Brother FenFen and also for betraying him. How could she?" Zhang Xiaotong spoke and before the person on the other side of the call could say a word more, the line got disconnected. The next moment, the phone was harshly thrashed on the floor, followed by several other ceramic items from around the room.

The more Xiaotong thought about Li Xue, the crazier she went. She couldn't believe that for a betraying bi*ch like her, Feng Shufen embarrassed her. What was so special about her that in front of her he forgot the promise they made together? As she questioned herself, she picked the paperweight from the table and threw it hard on the mirror that had her reflection on it.

***

Back in the hospital, Li Xue didn't know how many hours passed. But when she opened her eyes, it was still darkness in the sky. She had her head rested on something hard but at the same, it was well-muscled to not put her in any kind of pain. She was still in her sleep when she rubbed her face on the stiff pillow.

But suddenly she realized something odd. Wasn't she in the hospital? Sleeping on the chair? Then how did she get a pillow here? As she tried to think, her brows tugged together in the frown as scooting a bit away, she lifted her head to look up at the person.

Her gaze was still blurry from her sleep earlier. So, at once it was hard for her to realize who it was. She blinked before reaching out to rub her eyes to clear her gaze. And when finally, she saw who it was, her eyes grew big as pouting, she reached out to poke his cheeks.

"You are finally here. I thought you would still need a few days with your second family there?" She said and, in her words, there was a kind of laziness.

Feng Shufen had almost fallen asleep but when he heard the woman speaking, he got back into his senses. Looking down at her pouty lips, he leaned down to give a quick peck before saying, "How could I stay easy in the other country when my wife is being naughty here? I had to return?"
