Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

A wave of desperation struck Wenting hard when he heard the little girl address any other man this intimately to her and her mother. Though he knew that he had no right to feel jealous over the woman whom he has left himself, still something inside him was aching at the thought of her being with anyone else.

"Li Xue, no one will be able to help you in the industry if you let go of my offer today". He said suddenly, not knowing what intentions he held in his heart to say something like this. At this moment he only wanted to hold Li Xue back all for himself, but little did he know that he never held any such capability in himself. Neither in the past nor in the present and never ever in the future!

Hearing his words Li Xue's lips curled up to form a slight knowing smirk. She did not look back, neither did she winded up her steps to turn around. Her halted steps which were giving the man a hope that she will return to him died when he saw her once again resuming it.

"I thought that you took your career above all other relationships but seems like getting abandoned once in life, changed your preferences". Wenting said again to provoke her but however or whatever he said, Li Xue's steps did not pause until she reached the car and opened the door.

Gesturing her daughter to get inside, her eyes came in contact with the steely orbs for which she was yearning for. Just a glance and she knew that he was upset because of something … maybe because of the word she has said earlier.

Knowing that she needs to wrap things fast, she turned to face Wenting once more, "My preferences are not as rigid as your ego, CEO Zheng. So it might change seeing the people around. In the past, I never found anyone for whom I willingly wanted to change. But now I have found that one, for whom I can change my whole world. So here I am".

She said as her eyes went to trail the person inside the car, wishing that her worlds could have soothed him a little. But from when did Mr Beelzebub become such an easy one for the people to cajole.

She could see his protective arms getting wrapped around her daughter, keeping her all safe and comfortable under his care. Her heart filled with warmth as for the first time at the scene, her lips tugged up to give a comforting smile.

Zheng Wenting did not miss that arc. His eyes turned hard as his jaws clenched along with his fists at sides. The reason behind that pure beautiful smile was not him. Her words were piercing his conceit a thousand times wilder than what he had thought of.

"If that's how you are going to behave then don't blame me for making this comeback tough for you", he growled but in a restricted voice. He never chose that restriction but that cold gaze from the car was just showing a powerful dominance on the air around him.

Though he does not want to accept, he was forced to accept it.

"When did my life has been easy, CEO Zheng? Bring on everything you have got in your treasure … I have always loved to conquer the tough-gained success". She said with a nonchalant smile.

"Li Xue, I am …" he started again but his words were cut short even before he could give it a proper beginning.

"I said, CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! It would ruin the mood of the adventure if the game starts giving warning before even the play gets started. So for now, CEO Zheng, I think you should go back. Sying must be waiting for you. And for me, as you can see I already have someone here. I am really not liking to make him wait for me like this".

She said and then without waiting for any reply got inside the car.

Zheng Wenting saw red. But before he could say or do anything the car drove off leaving the dust in the air behind.

He stomped the foot hard on the ground as he turned to walk off but right at this moment a tall, well-built man, dressed in a professional suit came forward to address him.

"Our Master has sent the servicing cost for the damage your car has incurred. And also this small note" the man said as he forwarded a small piece of folded paper forward in one hand while bill notes on the other.

Zheng Wenting looked at him for a second then ignoring the currency went to take the folded note from his hand. Unfolding it, his eyes went wide as the piece of paper got crumpled under his tight grasp.

"Cars are meant to be used to drive on the road. It would be better if its speed is not used for any other purposes".

Those words were clear enough to convey the meaning it has intended to and for the first time, Wenting was not a dumb one to not get the meaning as it was presented. The warning was clear that was challenging him for the consequences.

"Who is your Master?" he growled as he looked up to the man standing in front of him.

***

Back in the car, the air was all silent enough to heighten Li Xue's guilt in the heart. Every now and then she would turn to look at the man but none of her gazes was returned.

"I think with that minor crash earlier; your car will also need a little servicing. Later when we reach back home, you can send your car to a good servicing centre". She initiated her words but again no response came back on her suggestion like her words never reached the man's ears at the first place.

At the front, Du Fan could only see his Madam struggle. To him, this cold attitude of his Young Master was no different, but seeing him like this to the lady …

Sighing with some understanding towards the lady, he thought to give some help forward, so he said in a polite voice, "Master, Madam's suggestion is all right. After that minor hit, this car will definitely need a servicing and …"

Before he could complete, his words were being silenced as a frigid glare was shot in his direction.
