Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

Getting off the bed, Wenting went to the corner of the room, near the window as he asked the man on the call, "Did you find out? Has Li Xue married someone?"

"Sir, Ms Li Xue marital status is still single in governmental records but that record will be changing next week. She has recorded an appointment in the Civil Marriage Bureau, the next week!" The person replied from the other side of the call.

Zheng Wenting was all confused at the information delivered to him. His brows wrinkled as his fingers went to wrinkle the long curtains of the window. The fear surfaced his eyes as his face got stiff. "What do you mean? The record will be changing the next week?"

"Sir, though we have not got any clear information, we have found out that on her and a mysterious man's name, there is a non – expiry marriage registration appointment is fixed" the person explained on the other side of the call but it did not faze the man's confusion even a bit.

"Non – expiry marriage registration appointment? What is that? And who is the mysterious man? Didn't you find his identity?" He asked with impatience. It felt like he was some foreigner who was all unknown to the country's rules and policies.

"Yes, sir! A non – expiry marriage registration appointment. Not everyone in our country knows about it. It's an elite law made by elite citizens of the country. There are many such laws among this was one", the person explained on the other side, taking a pause for some breather.

Then continued, "In this type of appointment, the couple would get the marriage certificate anytime they want. No time restriction, no holiday restriction will apply to them. And even to some limit, it will be accepted that they are already a couple in the eyes of laws. The only thing that is keeping them away from the seal of marriage is just a mere signature. So, calling them already a married couple or not is just an illusion because they are already one in the eyes of law, just a final seal away".

Hearing everything out, Wenting's inner self trembled, whether it was fear or anger, nothing was clear. "Who is the man behind all this? Is it Mr Qi Shuai?" He asked.

"Mr Qi Shuai? No, sir! I am sure he is not the one. Though I am not sure who the person is, the man has got a mysterious identity off the country. Provoking more in this matter can be life dangerous. So, I would only advise to not go in more detail." The person said from the other side and the call was put to an end at an instant.

Several voices echoed in his ears, as the earlier scenes with Li Xue, the little girl and the bodyguard flashed in front of his eyes.

'I have not come alone. Daddy Angel has come to take us home!'

'Mama, Daddy Angel is waiting for us in the car. It will not be good to make him wait'

'You should go to your girlfriend and as you can see, I already have someone waiting for me here'

'Our Master has sent the servicing cost for the damage of your car and this …'

'They are just a seal away from the marriage … Already a couple in the eyes of law'

One after the other the words and the pictures flashed in front of his eyes. And the next moment an expensive phone was thrashed on the ground, hard enough to shatter it into pieces.

In the silence of the darkness, the sound was prominent enough to wake the woman up from her sleep. "Wenting?" She called as she got to sit up on the bed.

Nudging her eyes lightly to clear her vision, Wen Sying looked at the man standing at the corner of the room, near the window. Getting herself out from the blanket, she walked her way to him. Reaching him, she placed her hands over his shoulders as she asked with concern, "What happened, Wenting? Is there something wrong?"

The man did not say anything. He kept his lips glued as his eyes glared out of the wind at a distance. Seeing him like this the woman could make out that he was upset or more to say angry with someone but for what? Did something happen?

"Wenting? You are scaring me. What is it? Tell me, did something happen?" she asked again, not understanding the things properly.

Gritting his teeth, the man growled, "Li Xue is already married!"

The piece of news was enough to stagger Wen Sying from her footing on the ground. Though she understood what those words meant, she still was not able to comprehend it in an understanding way.

"What? W-What are you saying, Wenting? How can that be possible? She …" She asked, stuttering her words out. "Did she really marry Director Qi Shuai of Feng Internationals? I thought …"

Her words got stuck in her throat, not able to bring her thoughts out. She never thought that even after being like that 5 years before, Li Xue would still have a winning hand over her. She snatched away from her boyfriend only for her to get a husband, a hundredth time better than Wenting. No, that can not be true. She would not accept the defeat, not even in her thousandth life.

"Wenting, please say something. Did Li Xue marry Director Qi Shuai of Feng Internationals? I thought that she was … she was just …"

Zheng Wenting suddenly snapped around as his eyes pierced the rest of the words in her throat. But when he caught her scared eyes, his fierce eyes softened a little. "No, it is not Director Qi of Feng Internationals".

Wen Sying was confused. Though his words had soothed her inner defeated fear, it was still not enough for her to confirm if she was still winning over her or not. If not Director Qi then who did Li Xue get this time. She could not deny that however, she tried Li Xue has got a stroke of luck she had never been able to defeat.
