Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

The next morning,

When Li Xue woke up, the very first moment her eyes shifted to look to her side. Her lips pouted a little in sleepiness, not finding the person whom she had expected to see. Sitting up, she lightly rubbed her eyes, letting it wander around to search for any hint of the man. But anywhere she looked, she felt like the person had left the room quite some time ago already.

"Huh? Where did he go so early in the morning? Wasn't he tired and sleepy after doing his never-ending work? I thought he would be still sleeping beside me when I woke up in the morning. Sigh, I think I have expected too much", She mumbled groggily, pressing her lips together and getting down from the bed to walk to the washroom.

Completing her routine, soon she was dressed for the day. Her eyes again wandered around, but lips remained pressed in disappointment. "Was he so busy that he almost forgot that today will be an important day for me and I will be super nervous? Why did he leave so early? Didn't he even think to at least wish me luck before leaving?" She talked to herself again, looking at the mirror and prepping up.

But then suddenly, a voice coming from downstairs took her attention. Her eyes dilated looking at the mirror while her lips curled up into a cheerful smile of innocence. Like after searching the whole house, she finally found the precious hairpin she had lost. "He is downstairs? So early in the morning?"

Actually, being up or downstairs early in the morning was not an issue or something that one could not think of. It was just that Li Xue was expecting Feng Shufen to be in the room beside him so she didn't think of any other possibilities other than him leaving for work early. Now that she had heard his voice downstairs, she understood how childishly she was complaining all this while.

Quickly, donning herself up for the day, she went down. But her expression only changed, feeling the weird air around as she descended the steps. The very first thing her gaze noticed was the sitting style of the two devils on the sofa. One big and the other one little in size with respective aged books in their hands. They looked almost alike sitting beside each other, except for her devilic-angel has taken after some of her grace and warmth.

But wait! Why was the little one up so early? Ready on her own!

Though every time she gets ready by herself, still it has to be Li Xue going to wake her up in the morning first.

"Madam, do you need anything?" Suddenly a maid came to ask when she saw Li Xue, simply standing at a place and dazing off in her thoughts.

With her sudden voice, Li Xue was at once pulled out from her thoughts. Flinching a little from the suddenness, she looked at the maid and shook her head. "Ah, I don't need anything. I was just about to ask if the breakfast was ready. I might need to leave a little early today".

The maid at once bowed her head down in politeness as if it had been possible she would have kneeled in front of her instead. "Madam, sorry for the delay. But the chefs are on it. The breakfast will be ready to be served in the next fifteen minutes".

Li Xue nodded. She was confused looking at the maid. Though the maid was polite to her, she felt like she was more scared than being polite at the instant, as if while speaking she was ordered to walk on the edge of the sword. "Ah, it's fine. Ask the chefs to take the time. Cooking isn't an easy task to be done, especially when they have to please Mr. Beelzebub preferences".

Li Xue said and the maid's eyes suddenly shot up to look up at her with little disbelief. Like she has heard something wrong that she was dying to correct.

"What happened? Did I say something wrong?" Li Xue asked, kind of reading the maid's eyes. But in response, the maid shook her head.

"Madam, the chefs are working to prepare dishes of your preferences. Earlier, Young Master has said the meals should be prepared as per your taste as his every liking depends on your choices."

"Huh?" Li Xue was dumbfounded, but before she could ask the maid to explain about it, the woman bowed her head and left in the direction of the kitchen.

Seeing her running off like that, Li Xue has no other choice but to look in the direction of the two beings sitting on the sofa. Her sixth sense was saying that something has happened earlier that has traumatized the people in the house. She could feel it in both the air and the behavior. Like everyone was stealing glances of her but the gazes were kept very polite and downed with respect. Nothing like what she was receiving in the last few days.

"Good morning!" She wished, walking closer with suspicion. But her suspicion was returned with a cheerful smile of greeting.

"Good morning, Mama. WeiWei is already up and ready for the day. I have also prepared my bag by myself and have let daddy Angel check my homework. It's all perfect and right, nothing to worry about." The little girl chimed, letting her mother know about everything she did since she got up in the morning.

Hearing her say all that, Li Xue only squinted her eyes more at her, before giving an appreciation that held some doubt. "You did all that. That's really good. But is there something special today? Why does it feel like something has happened around?"

WeiWei shook her head. "Nothing special. WeiWei just didn't want Mama to be worried for her. Furthermore, last night, didn't you say that today is an important day. So, it's WeiWei's effort to make it perfect". She said with a smile and Li Xue could only agree to it.

Her eyes darted to look at Feng Shufen and the man instantly replied to her morning greeting.

"Good morning! Are you ready for the day?"

Li Xue didn't get the chance to ask him. So, instead, she nodded in response. "Yep, I am ready. You were here? I thought that you already left".

Feng Shufen shook his head. "I had some urgent work to attend in the morning, so didn't disturb your sleep"

"Oh," Li Xue could only bring herself to say that when she noticed something unusual around. "Aye, why today there is no Ms. Wu around. Usually in the morning, she …"

Before she could even complete her words, the man said from the side, "She was not a fit for this place. So, she went back."
