Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

Li Xue stood stuck dumb at her place. It was not because she didn't get what the man spoke to her. But because she understood too well what he meant with those words. Her ears turned red and even though he was no longer standing beside her, she still felt the air shrouding her to be too hot.

Li Xue was blankly staring in the direction where Feng Shufen left when Feng Yi Lan came to pat her shoulders. "Girl, you were awesome just now. How did you even do that?" She said and Li Xue turned to look at her without adjusting her expressions.

When Feng Yi Lan saw her like that with a confused face, she added further to explain, "I mean how can you pull my brother's strings so well. He clearly dances at the movement of your little finger."

She said and Li Xue's face finally showed an expression. Her features made a turn and she glared at Feng Yi Lan. "Do you think that was fun?" She asked, squinting her eyes accusingly at Feng Yi Lan.

Making the Devil dance around her little finger! Haha … Li Xue wanted to laugh hard at those impossible words. Maybe to the world, it might look like she can make Feng Shufen agree on anything. But only she knew how it actually was.

Even though he agreed to her demands. In the end, it wasn't for free as people thought it to be. She has to pay him the price for the every wish she makes him accept. *Ahem*

Feng Yi Lan at first stepped back seeing Li Xue's expression change like that. But then easing off, she shrugged to say, "I don't know if you have fun taming him or not. But I definitely had fun seeing him leaving with his tails tucked between his legs. It was such an awesome watch."

She said and Li Xue opened her mouth to speak something but then closed it, knowing that it was of no use.

Feng Shufen walking away with his tail tucked in between his legs! Heh! Only a fantasical dreamer would think like that. And no doubt, Feng Yi Lan was one of them.

Li Xue shook her head and decided to end the topic there itself. "Women are bound to envy the prizes of others." She murmured under her breath before following after Feng Yi Lan.

When Feng Yi Lan heard Li Xue commenting like that, she turned around to speak back. But before she could, Li Xue interrupted her, "Anyway Yi Lan, I am sure you must not be daringly here just to take the fun of your brother. So, tell me for what are you anxious about? Are you feeling the wedding jitters?"

She said as she walked at front before taking a comfortable seat on the sofa.

Feng Yi Lan's body moved along with Li Xue. A flash of confusion flashed on her features as she asked, "Girl, does pregnancy brings some psychic powers in women? I mean how did you know that I am anxious about something?"

Li Xue furrowed her brows at the first half of her words but then when she heard the later part, her lips pursed in a thin line. Taking a deep breath in, she gestured her to take a seat first before saying, "I don't need to get pregnant to know you inside out, Yi Lan. Our friendship has almost been for more than a decade now, I can literally read your mind and tell what are you planning."

She said and Feng Yi Lan paused for a moment. She stared at Li Xue and wrinkles appeared on her forehead.

Li Xue didn't say just for saying, seeing the wrinkles appear on her friend's forehead, she could clearly read her thoughts. The thought of disbelief. The thought of secrecy. And then the thought of hesitation.

"Yi Lan, what is it? What's that hesitation for?" Li Xue asked, not giving Feng Yi Lan a chance to give in to her hesitation.

When Feng Yi Lan heard her, she was dumbstruck. Blinking her eyes blankly at Li Xue for a moment, she raised her hands in surrender before confession, "Girl, you are scaring me now. I never thought that you took me as a subject book. How can you read me like I am a story of some boring pages."

She said and Li Xue's lips pressed on a thin line.

"Yi Lan!"

"Fine, fine, girl. There is no secret for me to hide from you. I was just not sure how to tell you so, I was thinking of a way of telling you."

"You think I will believe that?"

"Of course!" Feng Yi Lan said adamantly and Li Xue raised her brows. To which, she coughed and added with a minimal tone. "I mean, of course, you should believe me. After all, why would I lie to you? Or you can see yourself. I am here. If I would really have plans of hiding it, why would I be here?"

She said but Li Xue showed no expression of believing her. At last, Feng Yi Lan pouted and folded her arms over her check. "Fine, don't believe me. I am also not going to tell you anything. Keep believing that I want to hide it from you and I will make sure that I prove you cent percent right."

Saying that she looked away as a sullen kid and Li Xue felt nothing but as if she was dealing with a little tantrum throwing girl.

Shaking her head, she looked Feng Yi Lan. "It's me, pregnant, Yi Lan. But if people look, they would think you are having the mood swings of a pregnant lady."

She said and Feng Yi Lan's spine got stiffened. But in her moment of busy thoughts, Li Xue failed to notice it.

"Fine, I believe you. You never had any plans of keeping secret with me. Now, will you tell me what is it about? What's the thing that is making you think of ways to speak with me?"

She asked and Feng Yi Lan took her time in turning to look at Li Xue.

Her expression was something that confused Li Xue for a moment. Not thinking to seriously, she probed, "Yi Lan, what is it about? Are you telling me or …"

Before she could say more, Feng Yi Lan said it in one go, interrupting her, "Li Xue, I came to ask if tomorrow you can accompany me to the hospital for the … the abortion process?"
