Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

Feng Shufen's face turned more frigid. His cold eyes blazed fire to the frail flowers as if intended to burn them into ashes, right at the moment. "Where are you taking them, Sister Margaret?" His question shot out all cold and dark, making the old lady's frail heart almost freeze for a second.

Though she has always been used to this cold attitude of the man, her habits had started changing from the day itself when Li Xue came into his life. Because with the woman beside him, his temperament never wavered like this. It always remained warm and comfortable. But today seeing the lady leaving her food halfway, the Devil was back on active mode.

"Ah, Young Master, I am bringing these gifts to the usual gift room, where the other gifts from Ms Zhang had been kept. I would have put them there before but Madam stopped me, getting curious about the gift room"

Gift room! No doubt the woman was like that.

Feng Shufen brows wrinkled and he pulled up his hand to pinch the skin between his brows. His eyes were closed to hide his tiredness. "No need to keep them in the gift room any longer. Just send it back right away!" he ordered.

But right at that moment, a voice interrupted them from the entrance. "Why are you sending them away? The flowers are so beautiful and also the tie inside that velvety gift box looks like something of your usual preference. Don't send it back. The lady, who got these dearly for you might feel heartbroken"

Li Xue said as she returned back, dropping her daughter at the car. Her voice, still showing the hints of taunts intact to it. She doesn't know what was making her nerves twist but she was definitely irked knowing that the man was still all unknown to her when he already knew her like the back of his hand.

Feng Shufen sighed as he heard the woman grumble something under her breath. "These gifts are not needed here" He replied simply, keeping his voice and tone under perfect check.

The woman only chuckled out at his words as she took more of her steps inside the house. "You got a separate corner in the house just to keep gifts from a particular FRIEND all safe and secured. How can it not be important to you now? That can simply not be believed. Any special reason for such a change, Mr Beelzebub?"

The man intensely gazed at the woman. Even in annoyance, she was charming enough to keep his heart at a place, eyes at her. "I am a man with a woman in heart. Accepting gifts from other women like this would only be inappropriate for me." He reasoned and Li Xue could only be speechless at his words.

Even in a situation like this, the man has got the time and mind to do sweet talking. He must be really excellent in his fields.

Her eyes squinted at the man as she looked and snorted, "Don't drag me into all this. If you want to accept the gift, not like I could make you reject it. And furthermore, seeing that the lady knows your preferences, likes and dislikes so well, she must be someone really close to you at some point in time. So, just accept it. Don't force yourself to reject it, thinking about the appropriateness and inappropriateness of the things".

The man could only shake his head internally at her words. He did not say much to Li Xue, instead turned to the old lady at the side and gestured to her to take away the things. "Along with these also send a note to notify Xiaotong to not send any more gifts to me like this. It will only be returned back to her". He said plainly.

Sister Margaret understood. Nodding, she quickly made her way out of the house to give some space and time to the couple.

After she left, Li Xue looked at the man for some time. Then raising her head all haughtily at him, she snorted, "Don't blame me afterwards. I didn't make you do this".

Feng Shufen smiled and then nodded, "Fine, I would not blame you". But come and finish your breakfast first. I will accompany you till you complete your plate". He said and then gestured to her to come back to her chair.

The woman pursed her lips but then shook her head, "No, I am already done. I have no appetite now". She said and then tried to walk past the man to climb stairs. But just when she thought she could easily go forward, her wrist was grabbed pulling her back, straight into the man's embrace.

She thought that she would hit the edge of the table but Feng Shufen was more cautious than her. His hands, perfectly preventing her from hitting any edge.

"Are you that jealous that you lost all your appetite at just the sight of some flowers and a plain tie. What will happen if you get to see all the gifts I have received in all these years from Xiaotong. Will you make yourself starve for your whole life?" he asked, staring deep into her eyes. His eyes showing seriousness while the curve of his lips picturing his playfulness, putting her in the dilemma.

"W-Who said I am jealous? I am not", Li Xue almost felt herself stumbling on her thoughts when felt the dilemmatic gaze of the man on herself. She tried to push him a little to get away from his embrace but only felt the man tightening his comfortable arms around her.

"You are not? Are you sure?" Feng Shufen asked again, before adding, "Oh yes, I almost forgot that you can't be jealous of other women running after me as you feel only that is the right thing for you to do. You are confident enough in your President Feng to know that he is not the man to pay attention to any of them. So, no bother to get suspicious of him, right?"

He asked and Li Xue felt her brows winkling slightly at his words, bringing small waves of confusion in her ambers.

Why were these words giving a sense of déjà vu to her? Why did it feel like it was not the words of the man but the reasons she presented to someone the other day?

Feng Shufen smirked seeing her engrossed in the confusion. Though he has not been around her all the time, he has always known all her thoughts that she kept in her heart and mind about him.

"If you have been so confident in me, then how come just some simple flowers and a gift box is affecting your mood and appetite so much? Did something change or have you grown jealous for real?"
