Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

Qi Shuai's eyes just stonily stared at the person who had uninvitedly appeared at the door of the room. His expression changed. Unlike having a cheerfulness and playfulness as before, his features turned all stern, cold and serious. Like this world has never seen his smiles and bubbliness.

Feng Shufen's gaze as well turned to look at the person, following the change in the attitude of his friend. But he need not see the man to know who it was. Looking at Qi Shuai's hostile expression was enough to tell him it was none other but … Qi Shao Jin!

His expressions didn't show any hint of surprise, instead, he looked really nonchalant as if he was long expecting his arrival.

At the side, Feng Yi Lan and Li Xue also got confused for a moment when suddenly felt the change in the air. Their eyes turned to look back at the door as well. While Feng Yi Lan already realized who it was; Li Xue simply sized the man up and guessed him to be someone related to Qi Shuai, given the slight familiarity in their facial features.

Little Li Wei who was enjoying her time among her four favorite people also went silent, moving at once to hold onto her Mama's hands. She was not scared but she could feel the change in the air around her. Especially, her eyes didn't miss how her Uncle Cutie no longer looked cute as before.

"Mama, has Uncle Cutie gotten angry? Why is he looking like that?" The little one asked, slightly tugging on her mother's hold.

Li Xue looked down at her daughter before shaking her head. "Shush, sweetie! There is nothing like that. It's just we have a guest here whom your Uncle Cutie might not be wanting to see at the moment. So, he is like that. These are adult things and you are too young to be nosy in this. Till things get settled, be good and sit on the couch properly. Okay?"

Knowing well how to handle her daughter in such situations, Li Xue explained and requested and Little Weiwei at once nodded in obedience. "Don't worry, Mama. WeiWei will always follow her Mama's teaching and be a good girl." She said before releasing her mother's hold and walking to sit quietly on the couch.

Once settled, Li Xue reverted her gaze back at the matter. Walking close to Feng Yi Lan, she asked in a low voice, "This is …?"

"His is Uncle Qi, his father". Feng Yi Lan didn't hesitate in replying. Her eyes darted to look at Qi Shuai, feeling well the anger that was making him curl his fist so tight. "Brother Qi, the tubes are still on you. Please don't clench your fingers so tight. It might increase your pain." She could not hold herself back from saying this when saw the man putting himself in pain.

Hearing her voice from the side, to some extent Qi Shuai's nerves calmed. And his self that was losing its composure with just an appearance of the man also returned back as his fingers eased and so did his expression. But the bitterness still remained in his eyes as he looked at the man, who still stood at the door without saying a word.

"What brought you here, CEO Qi Shao Jin?" Qi Shuai asked. His voice was devoid of any warmth or respect. If anyone would hear his tone, they would not hesitate in contemplating that the man was talking to his bitter enemy for whom except disgust and disdain, he had nothing in his heart.

The man standing at the door glared at his son. But soon his glare soothed as his lips curled into a smirk. "Long time no see, my unfilial son! I just got the news that you have gained some good enemies that are badly after your life. I was impressed with your capability so I came here to visit you."

At his words, Qi Shuai stared at him for a moment, his jaws clenching ready to burst out but then suddenly he felt an assuring touch over his skin and he chuckled out, looking understandingly at Feng Shufen … letting him know that he has understood his cue and was willing to follow the plan set from before.

"CEO Qi is getting old. Now it is very much evident in his forgetful memory. Calling me son! Heh! Did you only realize now what piece of sh*t your two precious sons are by your side? Or did you dream about something wrong last night that brought you here today?" Qi Shuai asked, pricking on the nerve of the man the same way as he did to him while referring to him as his son.

But his words didn't trigger Qi Shao Jin. Or maybe even if it did, the man was successful in hiding it well within. His eyes went to stare at the understanding hold between the two boys and a gaze of envy flashed in his eyes for a minutest second. But before anyone could notice that, he shrugged that emotion off like it never occurred.

"You are my son … my blood, after all, I can't bear to forget you even if you come and sever all ties with me. And don't forget that you still hold the surname of Qi in your name. If severing could help you then, I think till now you would have not hesitated in changing your family name" He said with a smile as slowly sauntered inside the room. "Am I not right, my dear son? And what do you think, President Feng?"

Feng Shufen didn't say anything. His expressions remained calm without hinting that he understood the twisted tale the man was trying to tell at the scene. But did the man really think that Feng Internationals depends on his family connection? How delusional!

But did he ever expect anything better?

"If not for the last wish of my late grandfather, do you really think I would be still bearing the burden of this surname? I would have long removed it from my name as doctors remove tumors. Anyway, I believe you also know deep down in your heart that, unlike your other precious son, this unfilial one never cared about taking anything from you or your family. Neither your praises nor your cruelty. If I had cared then maybe the empire of the Qi family would have ended in my hands and not yours".

Qi Shuai said, and for the first time in the entire time, the expression on the old man's face showed the changes. Like reality that he has buried deep somewhere in the past has come to hit him back. "Qi Shuai, don't forget that the family patriarch is me and I would never give you the authority to …"

Before he could even complete, a peal of chuckle interrupted him. "Haha … CEO Qi, I never said I am interested in that useless position. You may have a position today, but don't forget in the past, it has been me who has offered you that position out of kindness. Because to grandfather, you have never been capable of holding that position."

"Qi Shuai!" Qi Shao Jin yelled. But his rageful tone didn't waver the attitude of Qi Shuai even a bit, instead, it only made him overpower the situation in his favor.

"CEO Qi, if you don't want me to insult you more by reminding you about the past, then get straight to the thing that brought you here, and leave. I am not in the mood to entertain your uninvited arrival". Qi Shuai said, knowing well if the man appeared today there were more things to it than he thinks. Something that has brought him to come to him. Because the hatred he shares with the man is not one way. It seeps in both of their bones equally, just the reason for that enmity is different.
