Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

"So how is it? Did you like my place, darling?" Feng Yi Lan asked cheerfully, locking her arms with Li Xue while giving her the tour of the whole fashion house. Her eyes glittering feeling the presence of friend around.

Li Xue's lips pulled into a big smile of adoration before turning a little to look at her friend and say, "Yi Lan, did you forget this is not my first time coming here? I have also been here before and has seen everything. So, you don't have to be this formal now". She said and to her words, Feng Yi Lan just pouted her lips out, like a kid whose efforts and hard work were all ignored in a blink of an eye,

"Li Xue, how is it the same? Last, when you visited here, you were my friend and I was all cool about it. But today, you have come here as the model, who we have signed as the face of our brand. It's definitely different. How can you consider it the same?" She said, accusing her friend of ignoring all her efforts that she has particularly made to make things come perfect just for her.

"Ohh, it's different?" Li Xue asked, before eyeing their locked arms. "I thought right now also, we are sharing the bond and relationship. After all, I have known my Yi Lan. She never holds someone close like this".

Feng Yi Lan also followed the gaze and also looked at their arms locked. Yes, definitely, this was not the way she treats everyone coming to visit her. But from when her friend became the same as others. Even if there is a professional relationship between them now, that would not change the fact that she was her friend first. And their friendship would always be stronger than any other relation.

"Li Xue!!" she whined like a puppy that was being teased again and again. And Li Xue could not help but laugh.

"Fine, fine. I will tell this place do looks something different", Li Xue said, as she again turned around to walk ahead together with their arms locked. "There is properness and more adequateness today. The things are arranged well and I think, today your employees are also quite enthusiastic." She said, adding more details about the surroundings before tilting her head again to see her friend giving a smile that was reaching one ear to the other.

"Perfect! You have guessed everything right. I have made sure to make everything perfect for you, darling. Am I not the best one on you?" Feng Yi Lan said, detangling herself to clap her hands.

"Of course. There is no doubt. Your employees have been the best" Li Xue said, shrugging her shoulders in nonchalance, before taking her steps to walk ahead, while ignoring the look her friend was giving behind.

"You … Li Xue …"

"We are here to work, dear. Let's complete it first or else I fear my sweet, little assistant will get bored soon" Li Xue said again, gesturing her to look at her little assistant standing at a distance, giving them a stunned look.

Feng Yi Lan also looked at her and nodded. "Oh yeah, I almost forgot her. She looks sweet. I must say Su Fai is making his company look better after you. I am really impressed with him. Later I will make sure to set a day to treat him." She said, while again reaching Li Xue to hook their arms around.

Li Xue also nodded agreeing but her words went differently. "Mhmm. Don't get impressed too much at him. These are all not his doing but of Sister Xinyi, who has ultimately chosen by your brother. Treat your brother better instead."

"You … Do you have to bring my brother everywhere? Don't you know we should not jinx a day talking about Devil in broad daylight?" Feng Yi Lan said with a tone of displeasure and Li Xue could only purse her lips at her.

"Xiao Meng, come here." Instead, she turned to call her assistant near.

Hearing the call, Xiao Meng did not wait. Quickly taking her steps she walked to the side of Li Xue before asking for the work. "Yes, Sister Xue?"

"Ask Ms. Feng about the things Sister Xinyi has asked you to check around. Don't bore yourself here. You can proceed ahead to work."

The little assistant nodded, looking at the other lady. "Ms Feng, I wanted to verify the schedule of Sister Xue with your company's set events. Where should I go?" She asked all politely.

And Feng Yi Lan at once, gestured her to look at the desk in the front. "Go there and ask. They will inform you about everything you want to know." She said and Xiao Meng hummed lightly before making the beeline in the direction.

Feng Yi Lan turned back to look at her friend. She doesn't need anyone to tell that she has annoyed her friend with her earlier words, just a look on her face with the slightest change in expression was enough to let her know. She pressed her lips together, looking at her that way before blaming her brother internally.

"Li Xue, till your little assistant does her job, let me take you to meet our exquisite designer. He is inside and is waiting for you." She said, thinking to cheer her up again. But to her cheering attempts, Li Xue plainly nodding in agreement, and taking the steps forward in the direction, her friend would take her next.

"Let's not make him wait then"

Feng Yi Lan could only feel more guilty. Staying rooted at her place with her fingers rounded, she accepted. "Fine, fine, I accept the defeat. Don't be upset with me now. But let me tell you Li Xue, don't believe my brother too much. He is just a devil under the skin of an angel. He is only keeping his angel side in front of you so that he can keep you by his side always; otherwise, for the whole world he is just a pure devil.".

Li Xue, who has turned forward, paused at those words. She turned around to look back at her friend, only to find her pouting childishly behind. Seeing her that way, she could not hold her smile back. "Yi Lan, what are you saying? Who said I was upset? I know your relationship with your brother already. How could I be upset with you for it". She said and Feng Yi Lan looked at her for more to confirm her words.

Though there was an expression of slight sadness in her eyes, it was not for what Feng Yi Lan has thought. Li Xue has suddenly remembered Feng Shufen not being in the city, which has made her grow upset inside, otherwise, truly, she could never be upset with Feng Yi Lan at such an easy topic.

"You are not upset with me, then does that mean you accept all my words from earlier?" Feng Yi Lan asked, chiming with expectation.

At her anti–brother attitude, Li Xue could only shake her head. She looked at her for quite some time before starting. Though her reply was not exactly what her friend was looking for, it was still something that gave a clear picture about the image, she holds of Feng Shufen in her heart.

"A devil under the angel's skin! Even if I know that, would it change something, Yi Lan? Didn't all girl want the same? A man whose attitude is different to you than what it is to the rest of the world. Even if he is the devil to the world, I cannot hate him for treating me differently than he treats the rest. Rather I could only choose to fall deeper for his distinctive attitude towards me".

Feng Yi Lan could only feel getting dumb hearing her friend's words. Though she agrees that every girl does want men like that, still her Li Xue deserves someone more better than the rest. She also knew that none could be better than her brother buts still …

"Li Xue, I can only say, you have gotten into my brother's trap in a way where you will never be able to find any escape, even if it meant searching till eternity." She finally said defeatedly, shaking her head to her own thoughts.

Hearing her words, Li Xue could only chuckle. "Haha … Don't worry Yi Lan. I have gotten too many works. There is no way I will find any time to go in search of any escaping window. Now, let's go and see your designer first".
