Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

"Lillian!"

The moment Lillian said that, Zhang Xiaotong lost the edge of patience she has been holding in her all this while. Lunging forward, she at once went to grip her throat as her eyes shot red with killing intent.  Her fingers only clenched tighter as she tried to suffocate Lillian out of breath.

"Lillian, do you even know wh-what are you saying? You are siding with Li Xue just to say that I am incapable of standing beside Brother FenFen? How dare you say that?" Almost losing control, Zhang Xiaotong yelled. She would have really suffocated her if, at the right moment, people had not come to prevent her from doing so.

When drew apart, she shot a glare at her secretary who was still trying to catch her breath. Her neck held the imprint as evidence of how hard Zhang Xiaotong has clutched her throat. But even with that pain, her expression never showed any hints of regret. As if even almost dying in the hands of her friend, she didn't regret saying a word she has said before.

Zhang Xiaotong when saw that lack of rue on her expression, she couldn't believe her eyes. If she remembers correctly, there had never been a time when Lillian behaved like this with her. She has always been very patient and supportive of her. Then how come today, she has become like this? Has she gone crazy?

Something was not right. "Lillian, you have gone insane? Do you even know what you are speaking?" She asked clenching her fingers on her side. Suddenly she was feeling guilty about how she behaved with the girl moments ago. Although she has never accepted it loudly, she has always taken her as her friend. And she also knew that Lillian had also done the same.

Lillian looked at the woman. Her eyes held tears of disappointment. "Haha … really, Xiaotong! You are calling me insane? Do you not know who actually is insane here?" She said as again her lips curled in a mocking curve. But this time more than the mocking curve, her lips held a sadness that came from regret.

"…" Zhang Xiaotong was wordless, seeing her like that. She wanted to refute her words but for some reason, looking at her with tears, she was feeling wordless.

"Xiaotong, there is still time for you to save yourself. So, don't waste it. I know you have loved President Feng for years. But now it's high time for you to love yourself more. Move on from President Feng. Since he has already gotten someone else, it's your time to find someone better than him." She said and her words would have melted Zhang Xiaotong but the latter added words once again got all her rationality.

The fire of craziness that had died down in her eyes, rose again as she fiercely screamed to reject her ideas. "Shut up! What do you know? You know nothing. Better than Brother FenFen, who could there be? He is the best and no one could match him. I have loved him all these years and in no way am I going to waste my love for him. I would get him by hook or by crook."

She said and Lillian could only sigh in her heart. "Xiaotong, you don't even know you are ruining yourself just for an obsession. President Feng has no longer remained your love; he has become your obsession and obsession has never been right in this world. Especially when it is for a man like President Feng. He is dangerous. He would not spare you if he came to know your plans to harm Li Xue. Don't you know how much he loves her? She is the apple of his eyes."

Lillian tried her best to put some brain into Zhang Xiaotong. But no matter how she spoke, the woman has her own insane thoughts to believe.

"She is nothing to him. Li Xue is no apple of his eye. That's just an illusion the people are forced to see by that wicked woman. Brother FenFen loves me. He has promised to stay with me. There could be no way he would look at some other woman. Furthermore, what does she even have? She is just some lowly woman who doesn't even have a proper family? How could a woman like her even suit the title of Madam Feng?"

She spoke with edginess in her tone and Lillian just shook her head in rejection. She knew it was tough but she was trying her best to guide Xiaotong on the right path.

"Xiaotong, don't fool yourself by believing whatever comes to your mind. Have you not seen them already have a daughter? With that little life around, how are you going to explain that there is no love between them? There is definitely love, it's just that you are finding it hard to believe."

Zhang Xiaotong shook her head before throwing the wooden chair hard on the ground. "Shut up! Shut up! I said there is no love. That girl is no sign of love but the sign of betrayal that Li Xue is giving to Brother FenFen."

Lillian frowned. Although she was tied up here and had no idea what was going around Zhang Xiaotong or what she was up to, still she was sure that this was some misconception that had been put into her head. After all her obsession can be full of denial but not full of fake stories.

"Xiaotong, what are you speaking? Don't trust what everyone says. People might take advantage of you and your condition." When she was in the role of secretary, she never felt the strength to say all this on her face, but now that she was no longer the one working for her, she was much at ease to speak her heart out.

But Zhang Xiaotong had no change. Instead, pulling her lips with some craziness, she simply shook her head, "Haha … Lillian, you don't know it since you are sitting here. But I have researched Li Xue. That daughter of hers is not simple. She came out after a scandal. She might be some bast*rd out of that bi*ch's affair. I just need to prove it and, it will be done." She spoke and her voice varied in between different pitches which made Lillian realize that she had another attack of the obsession syndrome she was having.

Shaking her head, Lillian struggled to reach the woman whom she considers her friend, "Xiaotong, have your pill fast. Have it or you would lose yourself." She begged but the girl was in her own land of fantasy. Looking around at the men, Lillian yelled next, "What are you guys waiting for. Feed her the meds. It's in my bag, get it fast and make it have her."

The men would not have bothered to hear her, but when they saw the intensity in her eyes, they quickly moved and got the medicines. But no matter how they gave it to Zhang Xiaotong, she refused to have it. It was not until Lillian cried, begging her to have it, that she agreed.

"Lillian, you cared for me. You did then, how come today you chose to support Li Xue? Did you forget that you are one of the few counted people who genuinely support me?" Zhang Xiaotong was still in the aftereffect of the attack.

When Lillian saw her vulnerable like that, she couldn't help but cry for her. "Xiaotong, I am still with you. I would always be with you but this time I am scared. Scared that you would hate yourself one day, seeing that President Feng hates you. Li Xue is the woman he loves with all his heart. If you do something to her, he would not spare you and hunt you down. Believe me."

As she said that Zhang Xiaotong shook her head. "Don't worry, Lillian. I am playing safe. Even if Li Xue dies tomorrow, no one would think it was me. I have a scapegoat to take the blame for me happily." The moment she said that the glint of evilness again appeared in her eyes.

Lillian didn't know what the woman was up to, but she was sure that sooner or later, Zhang Xiaotong would be regretting badly. But before that happens, she would have to find a way to get out of here and handle things for her. She can't let her to be alone with an illness like that. She knows more than anyone else, how badly the woman needs a doctor.
