Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

When the people around were getting so affected with the words of the man, how could the woman to whom it was directed remain unfazed to it? Li Xue's breath got hitched when she heard the man's gentle but firm and resolute tone, making her lose all her thoughts and plans she has made to counter him.

'No, no, Li Xue! You can't get affected at this moment. You need to keep a hold on yourself. Do what you have planned to and escape this moment'. She determined internally, looking at the man. Though this moment was something that she does not want to end yet rather wants to live more but the demand of the situation was something else.

Taking a deep breath in to get herself back in her composure she said, "This wound is just out of my carelessness. Ms Kim wanted to have some more soup, but it was kept at a little distance from where she was sitting. So I just thought of helping her serve it. But due to my lack of attention, I didn't see the glass falling on the floor and shards pierced me. This incident was total because of my carelessness and nothing else. No one is to be blamed for it".

She explained. Though her explanation was not clear to her own ears, she had a feeling that it would have perfectly delivered its meaning to the man. She has seen him understanding her unspoken words, how come he will not understand this?

Saying her words, she looked at the man, waiting to see if her words worked at him or not. Minutes passed by but he replied nothing. At the side, Ryan and Qi Shuai were also standing, holding their breaths anticipating the consequences they will end up with. Inside her heart, Ryan was only praying that she would not be abandoned. She has prepared to take any punishments but will not be able to accept the abandonment.

Feng Shufen did not say much, rather simply asked, "Are you sure, there is nothing else you want to say to me?" Though it was a question asked to her, she felt it more like an assurance, he was trying to give her. She felt weird at such a feeling, thinking that she was misunderstanding the situation but when caught the gaze of his gentle eyes she was all confirmed of her thoughts.

With what was he assuring her? Did he know everything that happened here? How can that be possible? If not, then what is he trying to assure me with? Several questions got arisen with just one gaze of his eyes. She wanted to ask him about it but then that would just raise more complexities. Deciding against her curiosity, she nodded her head to confirm her previous words.

"Yes, I am sure. There is nothing else I want to tell you. This is the only thing that happened" she said and then turned to look at both Qi Shuai and Ryan, asking them to confirm her words. Getting the hints from the woman, the anxiousness in the heart of Qi Shuai shot all at once, getting all dramatic as always.

"Yes, yes ... Sister – in – law is telling all right. Nothing at all happened here. Ahhh! I was so anxious before seeing her bleeding hand. If you have not appeared on time, then I would have already taken her to the hospital. You know how caring and responsible I am, right?"

Li Xue wanted to slam her head on a wall, seeing the man's dramatics. Was he covering up the events or was trying to give more air to his suspicions? This Director was really too much for her to handle now!

Feng Shufen glared at his friend with cold eyes which instantly sent the warning message to him. "You, being responsible! We will talk about it afterwards" His words were giving hints of some unknown knowledge. Qi Shuai gulped down in fear. 'What was this Devil planning to do with me now? Why am I feeling like soon I will not exist in this world!' he said as he felt goosebumps all over his skin.

Then moving his gaze back at his woman, Feng Shufen asked, "Where is Weiwei? Did she finish her dinner?"

Li Xue smiled as she replied, "Yes, she finished all her food from her plate before taking Chen Yujian upstairs to show the books you have bought for her". The man nodded to her and then asked again, "What about you? Did you complete yours?" Standing up back on his feet, his eyes went to gaze at the plate on the table that was still kept as he had left her with.

"I …" Li Xue felt a little guilty when she saw him disappointedly looking at the plate on the table.

"You have not finished anything yet," He said with a sigh as his eyes came back to look at her face. Li Xue looked at him and bit her lips lightly. "Ahhh … who said I didn't."

The man raised his brows at her, making her realize the wrongs in her words. "I mean of course I didn't finish my plate. How can I finish? I was waiting for you to come back. I can't leave you alone to eat all by yourself?" She said sweetly, with a smile plastered on her lips.

Qi Shuai looked at Li Xue. If he was allowed, then without waiting for another second he would have made himself an apprentice to his Sister-in-law. He can say that after today's evening, his concept about her has totally changed. For some reasons, he has started to admire her more with respect. 'Sister – in – law, you are really awesome! You always have ways to calm the Devil down'.

Ryan was still anxious, not knowing how things were for her. To test the waters for herself, Ryan too jumped in the conversation. "Shufen, Li Xue is telling the truth. We were all waiting for you to come back. We can't leave you to eat alone. Come, let's eat. I will help Li Xue serve you a plate", She said with a smile and then quickly moved her steps to get a new plate ready for him. But before she could scoop in even spoonful rice into it, the man said in a strict tone. "Leave it!"
