Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

"Why, if I got stable at a place, would you agree to marry me?" the man suddenly said out with a chuckle and instead of getting all flustered or red on his words, Li Xue just rolled her eyes, as if she was already very used to all of these words of his.

"Jing Wei Jin!!" She said with a suppressed exhaustion. "Are you in such bad days that you are taking classes for being cheesy around women? If yes, then, believe me, you need to thank your teacher because he is really teaching you very well".

"Mhm – Hmm! Someone is getting better and better at rejecting men's hearts. Sigh, too bad! My heart has already become all tough from your rejections from all these years that now it doesn't affect it anymore" Jing Wei Jin said from the other side.

Though the person was not in front of Li Xue's eyes, she could still visualize him with the arc of a tease. She knew him too well to tell what would be his expression with every changing second. And also knew that in all these years, the only thing that has kept him interested in the word was his play of tease on her. It has been the same the moment she has met him and was still the same after living away from each other all these years.

"Great to hear, it's like that or else I would have been sent to the prison from breaking your heart and then leaving you dead" Li Xue added sarcastically and it instantly brought another rumble of laughter from the other side, making the woman's heart go numb for a second.

"Prison? Are you sure that any person back in the country will have the audacity to take away the precious treasure of The Feng Shufen? I am sure the one who even thinks of it would not be alive the next moment to think anything else". The man from the other side of the call said and Li Xue was instantly taken aback with those words.

Not like she was afraid of something but still she was not yet prepared to hear that coming from other people's lips this easily. "What? Are you spying on me now? Travelling abroad frequently has sure given you an interest in kinky things." Li Xue tried to doge away his question. But how did she even think that the things could even go in a simplistic way when Jing Wei Jin was involved.

"Why? Is it that wrong to spy your ex-girlfriend … your only love of life?" The man shot his words again with another rumble of light laughter but this time the woman could feel the hostility in his tone.

Her brows got a little furrowed at his attitude, not because the man was telling any lie but because she knew he had spoken the truth in a way that could easily be misinterpreted if it hit other people's ears.

"Wei Jin, you knew the things better. Don't be childish in your words and let people misinterpret the meaning from the half-truth" Li Xue warned and the man could clearly hear the unsaid challenge behind it. A damn unfathomable challenge!

Seeing her like a kitty who thinks her nails could harm the lion, he chuckled and added. "Are you fearing that your dearest boyfriend will take you wrong if he comes to know? Do you want me to check once, how the things will go if he comes to know about it? If you want then I can …"

Before his words could even get complete, Li Xue said, "Though I don't doubt his trust in me, still I won't want to see my good friend losing his face in front of my husband. So, it would only be better if you don't try anything such. You were not wrong to say before, my husband would never like to see his treasure getting claimed by any other". As she said, her lips curled with a smile that was portraying the exact confidence she was feeling in her heart.

The line went silent. And in that web of silence, she could easily hear his knuckles tightening with light snaps of bones and the gritting sound of his teeth. She knew that getting on this particular man's nerves was not going to be any less dangerous, but when did fear become her forte. Neither in the past nor in the present and never in the future!

Even after a few minutes when Li Xue did not see any words coming, she spoke by herself to see if the man was even alive on the other side. "The pendant was too beautiful. I would have accepted that beautiful piece only if it had been something a little less extortionate. I will return it to you when we meet the next time.".

She said and waited for a moment to see if there was any reply coming. But when still there wasn't anything heard, she added more, "Okay, since our talk has already reached its conclusion, then let's end the call here. Next time bring something interesting to play and also don't forget to let me know when you get back to the country? I won't love to see you surprising me childishly by coming over the terrace of my place".

Li Xue smiled and was about to disconnect the call when suddenly the man's words halted her.

"Li Xue, that man is not any nice one for you. Find someone else" his tone sounded like an order that he was demanding to get fulfilled.

The woman's brows instantly drew into a frown but pulling it back to normal, she nonchalantly said, "And what made you think so? Do you take me as a child who would need your suggestion to find the man suitable for myself?"

She heard the man heaved a sigh on the other side and then his words came. "If I can see you with someone like him then why do you think I pushed you away from myself? If he could be a suitable match for you, then so can I? That's why I am saying, leave him and find someone better".

And those words hit the bottom line that Li Xue, herself, never knew existed in her personality. Venomously, the words were shot out with vigour, "In my book of knowledge, no men can be better than him and none have the qualities to get compared to him. Working on finding something or someone that does not exist in the world is just a waste of time. And you know well that the wastage of time is something I never do."
