Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

"I didn't know that she would end up crying," Feng Shufen said lightly, his voice barely above audible. Hearing him say that, Li Xue smiled as if all this time she was expecting those words to come. Her fingers plainly moved into her little's hair, caressing her to sleep in her embrace.

"Umm … Mr Beelzebub, I need advice from you. No, not advice, rather I will do whatever you say. After all, in my build up connections from all these years, none would have better business ideas than you. Being the business professional, you can guide me well"

She said, suddenly turning to look at the man at her side. Her lips, curling up to give the smile of trust at him while eyes blinking to hear his response. Feng Shufen's brows scrunched together, not understanding her words or intention. "What is it?" he asked, keeping his face still stiff and cold.

The woman almost got bored seeing him like that but then sighed. She could not blame him. Given the protectiveness and concern he shows towards WeiWei, this was bound to come, after all, he must have truly never thought that because of him, the little one will ever be upset, let alone talk about tearful cries.

Shaking her head at how things have turned, she has learnt one thing well. And that was, 'It's not necessary that the victory will always confirm the smiles, sometimes it also brings the tears'. Though in their situation, the tears were unreasonable, still it was tears that she cared for.

She looked at the man who was having his eyes on her for quite some time now, before asking, "I was planning to open a shop to sell all the precious 'sorry' I got to hear and will be hearing today. So, what do you think, where should I open the shop? Is there some specific mall that I should prefer?"

Du Fan at the front could not control his chuckle but when felt the death glare, he instantly got silenced as his focus also returned back on the road. He was purposefully driving slowly, taking a long way, keeping the car away from the traffic so that the sleep of the little princess did not get disturbed.

"I was not saying sorry" Feng Shufen lied. His eyes, turning to stare out the window, reluctant to match the gaze of the woman.

"And I believe the pigs got wings to fly" Li Xue retaliated, pursing her lips at his lie. Does he really think that she was going to buy it? His cold eyes were saying it all. Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath in before saying "Mr Beelzebub, it wasn't your fault. Tears are not a new thing to kid and WeiWei is not a big one as she always claims to be"

"Mama, WeiWei have grown big. WeiWei is now 5 years 8 months" suddenly a soft murmur interrupted Li Xue as the little girl twisted and turned in her sleep.

Seeing her like that, for a moment, both Feng Shufen and Li Xue could not control her laughter. "Yes, yes, you have grown enough big to still sleep in my arms", she said, lightly pinching her cheeks. The little one's lips curled up slightly into a sheepish smile as if she had heard her mother's remark but she remained perfectly in sleep, hugging her Mama to her heart's content.

"She is still asleep", Feng Shufen said, noticing the closed eyes of Li Wei.

Li Xue nodded. "Yes, she got a habit of hearing half things in the sleep and then responding to it in her way."

"Give her to me. I will hold her. Your arms must have already been tired holding her from all this time" The man suggested and Li Xue shook her head.

"No, it's fine. It's not that tiresome" she said assuring him then turned back to look at him and said, "What I was saying Mr Beelzebub is that you don't have to feel guilty of anything you said to WeiWei before. She is small and it has to be us letting her know the right thing. And not every time it's sure that right will be a rug of rose petals, some time rugs are also made of coarse material. And about her tears, there is something that fathers don't know".

Li Xue paused, staring down at her princess, down on her lap. Today the tears in her eyes only proved the strong bond that she has started to share with her Daddy Angel. A smile covered her lips as her gaze again returned back to the man, who was listening to all her words with full concentration.

"This is something psychological. The daughter could take hundreds of criticisms from their mother and they would just shrug it off as nothing happened. But even one word from their fathers is more than enough to break their heart and make them cry like a river", she explained but her words only made the man frown more over his wrong.

"What are you silently frowning at Mr Beelzebub? You know, your this kind of dark silence is so annoying. Be all teasing and overbearing you want but just not be the way you are now. For almost, all this time it's just me speaking while you are just making me read your gaze to present my words forward" Li Xue complained, putting on an annoyed expression. She was truly feeling like she was alone on the ride and was just imagining the man around.

Feng Shufen's dark eyes did not ease but he also did not disregard the woman's words. "Even if it was psychological, the reason behind those tears was still me".

The woman sighed and shook her head. "But those tears just proved how strong the bond between you two is".

"I never needed any proof. I knew it all time"

"Mr Beelzebub, I just want to not see you feel guilty. You were not wrong and …" She was about to continue but her words got interrupted when heard the man's phone ringing.

Feng Shufen received the call as he heard the words of the other without giving any of his. "I am busy right now; I will visit you later" he concluded before disconnecting the call.

"Are you going somewhere later tonight?" Li Xue asked, feeling a little confused at the way the man has talked before on the call.

The man nodded. "Back to the main mansion. Father might need me to discuss the things about my love life"

Li Xue nodded without much thinking but then her eyes went wide when realized what exactly that love life meant. Wasn't that meant to discuss her? Her eyes snapped to widen at the man who nonchalantly scrolled down on his phone.
