Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

The air in the room felt all stuffy and suffocating for Yi Lan. Her eyes darted between her father and brother as she silently prayed to her stars to end this deadly silence and grant some peace to her anxious soul. Though only a few minutes had passed, it felt like years were passing in every minute.

"Elder Sister, how long will this silence continue? I am already feeling like I am at the edge of losing all my sanity in anxiousness" Feng Yi Lan whispered lightly, leaning near Feng Yi Ran's ears but her rational senses felt going more weak when she saw her sister turning to her with an excited expression and a smile of intrigue.

"Shhh … LanLan, don't ruin the fun. Just stay silent and enjoy". Feng Yi Ran said quickly as she once again turned back to look at the silent show happening at the front. Both in her words and her movements, one could spot the hurry that was working to not miss any snippet of story ongoing.

Yi Lan was dumbfounded seeing her like that.  Enjoy? What was there to enjoy? She was there feeling the shivers running down her spines while her elder sister was finding it fun.

No doubt, they were poles apart in nature. Though both of them were outward, their demeanour and way of presenting themselves were far different.

Feng Yi Ran was enjoying it. Seeing her brother getting possessive and protective in love, she was feeling relieved. In all these years after their mother left, the one she cared for most in the family has been her young brother, who has turned all cold and indifferent to the world. She feared that seeing their mother go, her little brother would never be able to come back to the world of love and compassion.

But after seeing him today, she doesn't feel the existence of that fear in her heart. Seems like her brother has got his perfect choice in his life. Her eyes stared proudly at him as if it was not Feng Shufen who has attained a love life, rather her, who has got an achievement.

"You can't stay with that woman. She can never be Feng family's daughter – in – law", Feng Yu Hao declared in a strict, unyielding tone. His brows were furrowed but his eyes not even once going to look into grey ones of his son.

Feng Yi Lan felt a cold sweat tickle down her forehead at those words. Her eyes went to intently look at her brother, clearly remembering every warning he has given to her, whenever she has proposed something similar like this to him.

So, was he now, going to pass the same warning to Father? She thought for the possibility but then shook her head in dismissal. Nope, not a chance! Though her brother was a cold-hearted Devil, he would never get disrespectful to his father. Simply, no way!

But then again, if not being disrespectful, was there any other option? Will he accept the words of his father and let go of Li Xue? She had no idea but hoped that in the end, it shouldn't be her friend getting hurt.

Keeping a poker face, Feng Shufen looked at his father, then nodding very precisely he agreed to his words. "Fine! She won't be Feng family's daughter – in – law. But except her, none can be Feng Shufen's wife". He deadpanned.

Feng Yu Hao was immediately edged at his words. Slamming his hand hard on the table, he at once shot up from his seat. "Shufen, what is with this attitude? What are you planning to do? Do you not know what family you belong to and what principles we hold? The relatives won't ever accept her".

"I am still standing on my principles. My marriage and relationships would be something of my choice, I never gave the Feng relatives any right to have a say on that", Feng Shufen replied in a tone of ease, as if everything happening around was just some trivial matter that would not have any impact on his life.

"This is ridiculous! Feng relatives have no rights to say? Definitely they would have no right to say if it had been some other one in place of you. But how could you forget that you are not just any other but the soon to be Head administrator of our family? Things related to you must be discussed among all before making a choice". The old man retaliated.

Though his words seemed rough, that was the truth. Becoming the head administrator of the family was not a child's play. Earlier, when he has come to know that his son has got interested in some normal girl, he has agreed to it thinking that as far as they could prove the merits of the girl, the relative won't create a big fuss over her acceptance but now seeing the things all clear, he doubted the things.

"Earlier I thought that even though the woman was not from any proper household, we could support her with her given merits. But it turns out instead of having merits, her life is full of scandals. Do you think with such a scandalous past, she would have any future in our family?" Feng Yu Hao added more of his thoughts. This time in a more understanding tone, so that he could make his son agree to his thoughts. But did he really expect something like that to come? How delusional!

Feng Shufen stood up from his seat. His eyes, looking at his watch, noting the time to return home. "Her name is Li Xue. And there is nothing scandalous in her past. Those are just some misinformation about her that will get cleared soon along with rightful proofs. Just wait for it to come" He said, taking a small pause then continuing, "Now, I think it's already time for me to take my leave".

Feng Yu Hao could only grit his teeth, clenching his fists at the side. He didn't want to bring the topic of the little one in the midst of all this but now seeing he felt no other choice.

"You can erase her scandalous past but how do you think you can explain the existence of that little one in her life, Li Wei?" He said

Feng Shufen's steps paused halfway.
