Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

Just when Li Xue was about to take her last step to complete her play to reach Jing Wei Jin, her steps halted as her eyes spotted the man, strolling in her direction with a lopsided smirk curl on his lips. He was still the same, with the crazy personality and evil smile. She wanted to run all the way to give a hard kick on his ass.

But just when she thought to do so, her eyes spotted his arms stretching with a gun, pointing in her direction. Her eyes widened, not understanding his intentions but when heard the gunshot, she understood that it was her end. "You basta*d!" she cursed her lungs out as she saw the bullet making its way towards her.

Though it felt like some drama that gets telecasted on the television, she could clearly see the bullet, irrespective of its speed. Maybe that's what they say when death arrives, you could see it coming your way!

The next moment before she lost her consciousness, she only remembered herself hitting the floor hard on her knees and a loud cry of pain from behind. Cry of pain from behind? Who was that?

She wanted to turn to look back but all her energy felt drained, leaving her body, all limp and weak on the floor. Maybe that was her end! She thought to herself as her eyes drooped close and the world of blackness enveloped her totally.

***

In that stream of darkness, Li Xue felt herself floating. She was doing her best to visualize her little princess in her mind but however, she tried the pain in her left leg was not doing any great help to her. Why was she still feeling the pain? Didn't they say that after death there's no pain? Then …

Before she could complete her own contemplation of thoughts, she was interrupted. A familiar of man was heard from the side. "Even if that means going to hell, I will not hesitate in bringing you back". She heard him say and without any doubt, she doesn't need anyone or anything to confirm whose voice was that. The silliness in those words was saying it all.

Even after death, could not this man not let her die in peace? How troublesome he was! No one knew how bad she wanted to crush him but she could not …

"Doctor, how is she now?" suddenly she heard him ask again.

"Oh, Mr Jing, she is all fine. Just a few days rest and she would be alright. The bullet on her leg has already been taken out while the wounds have been stitched perfectly", the voice of the lady came from the other side and Li Xue almost jumped in joy. Didn't that mean that she hadn't died but was still alive? That meant she still has time to see her baby and sweetheart back. But wasn't she shot? Then …

She wanted to open her eyes so that she could get her answer but however she tried, she was simply not finding any strength in herself. Was she given some sedative? Maybe she was or else there seemed no other reason that could make her feel so weak, especially when she has been under the care of her Mr Beelzebub all this while, who has perfectly taken care of her every healthy meal.

After some moment, she heard the lady at the side say again, "Mr Jing, I have already taken care of her stitches and have also prescribed the medicine. It will not leave any scar on her body. The lady will be up soon. There is nothing to worry anymore. Now I will take my leave". She said and soon the clicking of the heels was heard getting distanced slowly and slowly away from her ears.

When the clicks were almost gone, Li Xue heard the movement of the chair nearby and assumed that the man might have taken his seat at the side. Does he even need to be here to take care of her? Wasn't he the one to shoot the fire on her then why do the show-off? Hmph!

"Aye, finally you are here but look at yourself … Can't you for once behave like a normal lady? Why do you always have to pretend so tough in front of me? Can't you let me see your frail side for once? Even in the past, when you were lost in the darkness, you were all the same. Never letting me get near you. And even now you are the same, but in a more tougher way," Jing Wei Jin suddenly said, taking a pause. His tone was different from his usual one as if he was really regretting something in his heart.

"Are you the same with that man too?" she suddenly heard him ask again and she wanted to tell him that with Mr Beelzebub, she could not be the same as she has been to others. Because, to her, he was all different. All precious!

"Oh, I almost forgot that question no longer matters. What's the time? Ahh, it's already too late. Seeing him not here yet to take you back I think he must have believed our photograph. Though I knew that he would give up someday but never knew that it would be so soon. Sigh, his love and belief in you are so weak. That's why I told you that he is not any suitable person for you. You shouldn't be with him", Li Xue heard him say again and her Xue's heart instantly clenched tight at his words.

What photograph was he talking about? What did this crazy man do again? And did Mr Beelzebub really believed on…

"Tsk … Tsk … he must be grieving at his failure at this moment. Serves him well! How did he even think that he could take you back from my wings? That too in my own settled turf! Doesn't he take me too easy to tackle?" He said in a tone of disdain and that tone of his already getting on her nerves. If not weak on the bed like this, she would have already been banging him on the floor.

"Sigh, it must be your fault that you did not introduce me before. Why didn't you tell him that I was your boyfriend and you named our Li Wei after me? That way he would have understood how close I am to you. But no worries, with that photograph he would have been smart enough to understand, or else why do you think he is not yet here to take you back?" he added more, literally leaving Li Xue all confused.

'What was he even blabbering? Can't he be any clearer?' she said in her subconsciousness as her fingers fisted on the bed tight.

But right then, there was a knock at the door and she heard the door getting pushed open. "Leader Jing, our base has been surrounded from all directions. It looks like Feng Shufen's men are behind all this." She heard someone say and no longer knew how to react to all this happening around.

Was Mr Beelzebub here to fetch her back?
