Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

People clapped as Zheng Wenting slid the ring onto Wen Sying's finger. While Wen Sying's eyes beamed with happiness finally seeing the ring on her finger, the man's gaze went to see the reaction on Li Xue's expression. But he found nothing more than a usual expression on her face. Just a look and anyone would know that he could no longer revive his chance with her. That today, he has lost her completely.

But did he really lose her today? Nope, it was far back, he just failed to realize it at the right time.

Now that the realization has struck him, there was a twitching pain in his heart that was slowly and slowly getting unbearable inside. Something that was kind of causing suffocation inside.

Zheng Wenting was drowning in his pain when suddenly felt Wen Sying wrapping her arms around him in a warm hug. "Thank you, Wenting for bringing our relationship to this day. I love you. I am so happy for us today." She said and at her words, Zheng Wenting felt nothing else to say.

And that was like a snap of reality for him, his eyes stared around blankly at the people who were witnessing it. Though in the need of the situation his lips tugged up with a smile, there was no happiness in his eyes. Amid all faces in the crowd, he could no longer see Li Xue.

Soon people went to congratulate them but Li Xue didn't bother. Getting a bit away from the crowd of the guests, she found herself a corner to breathe. For some reason, she was just feeling a bit uncomfortable. Except for a little discomfort, she couldn't pinpoint what more was wrong with her. She was getting clamminess in her palms but just now she was in between so many people that she couldn't be too exaggeratedly suspicious about it. .

"What happened? Still feeling sick?" Su Fai asked with concern and to his askance, Li Xue faintly nodded.

"Yes, kind of but not exactly sick. I am just feeling a little restless inside. I think the closed air here is not suiting me." She said while taking Su Fai's handkerchief to wipe off the negligible beats of sweat from her forehead. "Ah, thankfully, the night has already ended here." She said lastly, looking at the distance where Wen Sying and Zheng Wenting were getting the best wishes from the guests.

Su Fai followed her gaze and nodded as well. "Yes, it's all done here. It would be better for us to leave. Let me call the car to drive us back. It would be troublesome to call President Feng at such short notice." He said before pulling out the phone to call for another car.

Li Xue nodded to his suggestion as well. But her eyes never left the face of Sying. "Yes, this is still very early to what Mr. Beelzebub must have thought of. He might have appointments to look into. It's better to not disturb him."

"Don't worry, the car will be here soon. We can leave then." He nodded with assurance as his gaze as well followed hers to ask, "Do you think that your situation could be her …"

"I don't know. For the whole time, she hasn't done anything suspicious. Furthermore, I have been with you all the time. Neither have I eaten anything, nor gotten myself a glass of drink. It was just a bottle of sealed mineral water you brought to me earlier. I don't think she is up to anything with the discomfort I am feeling right now." Li Xue said, carefully analyzing her every movement from the moment she appeared at the party. There seemed nothing suspicious happening around her except for Wen Sying's words from earlier.

Su Fai could also just agree to it. Since Li Xue has let him know, he himself has kept his eyes on Sying and nothing around her seemed doubtful. "Then this could just be a problem of over-crowdedness. Sit for a while, our ride would be here soon. Once it's there, we will leave immediately. Most probably twenty minutes or less." He said as he looked at the timer on his phone.

Li Xue hummed. "Fine, then wait for me here. I will go and wash up a little in the washroom. Maybe that would make me feel better." She said before looking around to check for the washroom.

The man nodded, "Okay, come, I will accompany you." He said but Li Xue shook her head.

"No, no, it's fine. I would go myself. Wait for me here and keep eyes on Sying." She said and then turning, left at once, asking a waiter for the direction of the restroom. On her way her steps started feeling heavy, making her a bit drowsy.

She thought to turn around to call Su Fai but she was already too far away from him to do that. Finding her clutch, he thought to get her phone out to make a call, but it was then she remembered that earlier while walking in she had handed her phone to Su Fai for the flashlight.

Was she getting unfortunate? How could she leave the phone behind and come all the way like this?

Li Xue wanted to chide herself for her dumb-headedness but for that too, she needed some energy, which she was greatly lacking. Sighing to herself, she looked in the direction where the washroom wasn't too far away and made her way to it. She still needed to wash her face to get back her senses.

Reaching the washroom, with much difficulty while holding the walls, she got herself to the washbasin. Opening the tap, she immediately splashed water over her face, pretty much enjoying the feeling of the coldness from it. It was unusual that she never liked the feeling of too much cold water. But today it was kind of soothing for her.

"What is happening to me? Did I get drugged?" She asked to herself with some doubt, still splashing the water on her face. But her movements paused when heard someone replying from behind.

"You were too late to guess that, dear."
