Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

"Director Qi!" Su Fai greeted, getting surprised by the sudden appearance of the man. This must be the second time of him seeing him in just a week's interval of time. But before he could say anything to him, he was blatantly ignored at the scene like he was simply not standing there.

Qi Shuai's eyes went to look at the woman. Not caring to respond to any question. He simply took his steps to her and got down on his knees to check her ankle.

The skin of her ankle already looked red and there was a slight swelling too. To make the situation worse, the lace of her heels were sticking to it tightly, inflicting her more pain.

"What are you doing? Your foot is already in this condition and you are still wearing these heels. Quickly, get this off!". He said as he quickly moved his fingers to undid the ties.

"Ouch!" Feng Yi Lan groaned in slight pain and it instantly halted the movements of the man.

Raising his eyes to look at her concernedly, he asked, "Did I hurt you? Wait, I will do it more carefully."

Su Fai's eyes went to look at the woman, who was suddenly acting all frail and timid … something that was totally out of her character, he knew. Though he could see that her actions were not something she was controlling rather was her real true self, that she rarely revealed.

A smile tugged his lips up from both sides when thought about the scenarios possible between them.

"Ahh … she must have twisted her ankle a little badly. It's okay, Director Qi, I could take her to the hospital first. You don't have to bother yourself with her" he said, presenting the best polite charming smile of his.

Qi Shuai looked at him with an almost expressionless face and simply said in a cold voice, "It's okay. I heard you have some work. You can carry on with that and I will take her with me. There is nothing to bother."

Feng Yi Lan, who was quiet all this time suddenly opened her mouth to say something but before she could even spell a word, Su Fai interrupted her, making her all confused with his words.

"Haha … Director Qi, will you mind me asking why?" he paused as he turned to send a smile towards his friend and then again looking back at the man he continued, "Why do you want to take Yi Lan's responsibility this desperately? I said I can manage to take her to the hospital."

Though his words seemed simple, it was attempting to provoke something deeply.

Not understanding those things, the woman was about to ask him but seeing Su Fai shake his head to her, she decided to be a supportive audience, sitting at the front seat.

Qi Shuai's eyes trailed between Yi Lan and the man, not missing the small eye to eye conversation between them. He knew that he should not be the one getting irked at such a simple thing but due to some reason, it was irking him to the core.

Clenching his jaws lightly, he said, "You are reading a little too much into it. I am just trying to help you here. You got some urgent work back at your place and Yi Lan, being my best brother's sister. I am just taking my responsibility for her."

Su Fai could no longer suppress his laughter. Laughing out lightly, he said, looking endearingly towards Yi Lan. "Sorry, Director Qi. Don't take my words as an offence but she is your best friend's sister, not like your own sister to take care of her like this. And if you really want to talk about responsibility then I could say that I should be more responsible for her in this scenario as I am her boyfriend, not just her brother's friend".

Feng Yi Lan almost choked on the breath she was taking when heard the man claiming to be her boyfriend. She opened her mouth to say something but the pain in her ankle was simply not letting her think about anything else.

Finishing his words, Su Fai did not care to look at the man's sullen face and went to hold the woman by her shoulder, and said, "Now I think, I should not delay things. She is already in pain and I should quickly take her to see the doctor."

Then without waiting for the director to say anything, he took her away towards his car. Getting a little away from Qi Shuai, Yi Lan punched lightly on the abdomen of Su Fai with her elbow, in a way where the man behind could not see and then asked in a glowering tone.

"Hey, what was that? Have you hit your head somewhere? When did I become your girlfriend? You better consider me as your grandmother than your girlfriend or you would regret your life!"

"Haha … not so funny. You better not give this attitude to me. Last time when I asked you if you have some scenes with this old guy, why did you not tell me that he is your super possessive but caring lover?"

"Hey … do you really have such lame jokes in your books now? Find something better next time. Don't start assuming things on your own", Yi Lan defended herself. She could feel the piercing eyes boring behind her but was in no mood to pay any attention to it.

On the other end, Wen Sying mood was all ruined. Returning back to her place, she has almost destroyed everything in her room. The broken pieces of vases were scattered everywhere. The flower petals on the ground were making it look more ugly.

The bedsheet was already pulled down the bed, giving evidence of the frustration shown on them.

"Why? Why? Why? Why am I still the one to be looked down by them?" She screamed again and thrashed down another decorative glass bowl down on the floor, making more sharp shards ready to pierce one's blood out, if stepped on it.

"Sying, calm down! It must be that witch Li Xue. She must have created some wedge between you or else why do you think that they were not able to see your good points? It definitely must be her. Now you don't harm yourself because of her. She is now nowhere capable as you"

The manager of Wen Sying, Da-Xia said trying her best to calm her tantrum - queen's nerves. "They want to bring her back to the industry. Let them try, it won't be going anywhere. Did they really think that setting her career back is as easy as cooking rice in a rice cooker? They will fail at the end of the arc".

She said but Wen Sying knew this thing better than her. Though this thing seems tough, it was yet not something impossible, especially when it was involving Li Xue in the question. That woman simply does not know the meaning of the word 'IMPOSSIBLE'.

As the thought struck her again, she could not control but thrash another wall piece down on the floor, making her manager flinch at her place. "No, no, I can't let them ruin everything now. It took years for me to get to this place. She can't just simply come and snatch it away from me. No, no, I will not let this happen!"
