Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

"Huh?" Li Xue paused in her steps as she turned to look back at Qi Shuai to ask, "The main mansion? Is there something serious?" Though in the morning she has not said anything, she has got the feeling something has happened. The gazes and the changed attitude of the people in the house was giving her the vibes.

Qi Shuai suppressed a smile as he shook his head. "Nothing that the Devil could not deal with. Don't worry, Xiao Xue. With him around, you would never be bullied." He said, almost revealing everything in his indirect words.

And Li Xue didn't fail to grab those words. So, she was right. That calmness in the morning was the silence after the storm. How could she be such a strong sleeper? Did she take the sleeping pills last night that when things happened in the morning, she didn't even realize?

"Oh okay, I will then return home and rest. I even have to work on a promise I have given to my little devil. You guys can carry on, I will take my leave". Li Xue said before turning and leaving. Since she has come in her car, she informed Xiao Meng to take the company's car while she will drive on her own.

When she left, Feng Yi Lan turned to look at the man. Her brows slightly jutted in doubts. "The call of invitation has been sent from the main mansion, so why am I not invited? Is there something in between those crazy relatives again?"

Qi Shuai looked at a distance, as his expression slightly changed. He remembered the things that they have come to know in the past few days. Someone from the family was involved in Shufen's accident and things were much more complicated than he had expected them to be. At first, his suspicion was on the cunning lady of the house but even if she was involved, there seemed to be many things behind the curtains.

"Many things are happening in between about which we don't have an idea. We are on the way to find it out". His words held some meaning only made the woman knit her brows tighter.

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing serious to worry about." Qi Shuai was snapped out of his thoughts when felt a layer of worry in the tone of Feng Yi Lan. He need not ask because he already knew how much the woman cherished her brother and friend in her life. "They may not have sent you the invitation because they knew that you have got an important event to present."

Feng Yi Lan stared. Though his reason was acceptable, there seemed something that was making her doubtful. "Are you sure?" she asked to confirm and the man nodded.

"Mhm. Everything is in the favor of Shufen. Don't worry!" Qi Shuai assured, nodding and then moving his hand to pat on her head. But before he could even reach her she stepped back.

"Hey! You better not do that. You will ruin my hair." Feng Yi Lan said, combing her hair subconsciously and looking at her like that, Qi Shuai could not help but chuckle.

"You are running away, now that it's your turn. But earlier when you did the same to me, how are you going to compensate for my ruined hairstyle?" He asked, with one pull tugging her closer back into his arms.

Feng Yi Lan's breath hitched. But she was more confused by his words. "W-What do you mean?"

Qi Shuai stared into her eyes, before slowly leaning down to her ears to say, "Did you forget already? Few moments before when you had daringly wrapped your arms around my neck and leaned to deepen the kiss, your fingers weren't able to restrain themselves there. They have crawled up to weave into my hair, pressing it more to make me give in to your tempting demand."

His voice came out all smooth and velvety, making the woman feel the butterflies in her stomach. Feng Yi Lan's face flushed red as her eyes, blinking to avoid looking into him. "You don't need to get so shameless. I will ask someone to fix your hair. It will be fine then".

While on one hand the couple was cherishing their time, the news of them getting together has already traveled to the ears of Zhen Qinrou. Receiving a call, she was reported of all that happened around Feng Yi Lan.

And knowing that her daughter was again back with the man she doesn't want her to be, Zhen Qinrou was about to lose herself. Luckily, Feng Yu Hao was not at home. He has left to attend something in between the relatives. As usual, due to a lack of appropriate honor, she wasn't invited to attend. And for once in her life, she didn't care for it, as she had many things to look after. Most importantly, her daughter, Feng Yi Lan!

"Why, Yi Lan? Why? Why don't you listen to me? Do you not see how much I am working for you here? Do you have to be that stubborn to go against me" She said in the empty destroyed room, fisting her hands to hold back her anger. "And that Pan Hong … he also came out useless. He wasn't even able to kill one man, instead, he got himself into the hands of that brat. Now, who will be going to help me out?"

She frustratingly rummaged through her phonebook to look for someone, but except for Pan Hong, she had no one to depend upon. Now, fiddling through the phonebook, she could not help but feel the loneliness that she always had in her life.

"Nope, this is not going to happen. I am not going to sit back at ease and let her ruin herself. I need to do something." She said to herself, before taking her purse and leaving at once. In no way she would be accepting her end up with that kicked-out brat of Qi family. She would never let that happen. Not even in her dreams.
