Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

After playing so much earlier in the park, WeiWei has long dozed off on Feng Shufen's lap. So,when Li Xue asked with concern, she was still in her sleep enjoying her dreams. 

Feng Shufen heard her but didn't say anything and his such ignorance instantly let Li Xue know that she was right to guess that. Puffing up her cheeks, she turned to reach out the hem of the sleeves of the man. Tugging on it, she said feigning all innocence, "Mr. Beelzebub, are you mad at me then?" 

"…"

"Did I do something wrong? Huhu~" 

"…" 

Feng Shufen still didn't respond to her and his disinterest in responding was slowly and slowly making Li Xue go more anxious. 

"Mr. Beelzebub, are you upset that I and You Jun gave hard time to Ms. Zhang?" Although Li Xue knew that there couldn't be any such thing, still at the moment she felt that this reason could be the exact way to make the man speak to her back. Because she very well knew that whatever the situation be, her Mr. Beelzebub would never do something that would make her feel upset. 

To do such a stunt, she knew she could be selfish. But to be healthily selfish in love would be so wrong like a crime, right?

And as she has thought, her words like that bore the fruits she was waiting to see. Feng Shufen turned to glare at her, his gaze all cold for the first time on her.

Li Xue almost felt her core getting stiff at his glare. But she held herself strong to not show the effects on her face. Keeping her adorable face in front, she didn't tend to faze. Pouting at him like that, she said, "See, I was right to guess that. You care for her." She said and Feng Shufen's expressions turned colder. 

"You believe that?" He asked and the sternness in the voice told Li Xue that if not end the play quickly, things would get difficult. 

But she truly wanted to know – what exactly pricked his nerves? Though she knew that he wouldn't be upset about things she or You Jun said to Zhang Xiaotong, she also knew that something from that incident only has pricked his sentiments. But what exactly? Where did she go wrong earlier? 

No matter how she thinks about it, she just couldn't guess the things. 

"I asked you something. Do you really believe that I am upset for what you said?" Feng Shufen's voice came again and out of her heart's consciousness, her eyes blinked before she shook her head. 

"How could I think that? I know you love me more than anyone else. That could definitely not be the reason." She said and seeing Feng Shufen's iciness melt at her reply, soothed Li Xue's heart as well. So, she continued, "I know there was something that that I have been negligent to. Tell me, so that I can mend for you." 

She said and in her eyes her guilt was evident. Feng Shufen could see it well. But this time something has truly hurt his heart that he was not willing to ignore. 

He didn't say anything to her, instead turned his head away. Li Xue felt the seriousness of the situation and didn't probe more. But even though she didn't probe, in her head she continued replaying the things that happened today. Every word that she has heard and every word that she has said. She replayed everything again and again just to find out where did she hurt the man. 

After driving the way back to the secluded forest, Du Fan finally announced, "Young Master, Madam, we are back to Our Paradise" He could feel the tension in the air, but to some point, he also was well aware of the boundaries he should keep. Furthermore, he was also confident that with so much love and understanding between the couple, this tension wouldn't be remaining for long. 

Getting inside the house, Feng Shufen at once went to bring the little girl to the bed. Li Xue followed him quietly, but after putting the girl under the blanket, Feng Shufen said, "I still have some work. Go to sleep and rest first, I will complete my work in the study and come late." He said and then left. 

Li Xue looked at his back as he walked away, but she didn't stop him. It wouldn't be good for her to stop him and beg for forgiveness until and unless she, herself, finds what she did wrong. So first she would find her mistake before repenting for it. 

Thinking that way, she went back to her room to freshen up and get changed first.

On the other side in the Zhang mansion, 

Zhang Xiaotong was relieved to know that for some business purpose, her mother has gone to the nearby city. Otherwise, if she had been at home and would have come to know about her accident, the consequences wouldn't have been simple. 

"I will go and rest in my room now. Make sure that nothing about the happening of today gets to reach my mother's ears." She ordered the maids and servants around before getting to climb up the stairs. "And also, if Lillian comes, ask her to come straight to my room. No matter how late it gets at night, tell her that I am waiting for her." 

She said and the people behind nodded, keeping their heads low. "Yes, Young Miss. We will let her know." 

Zhang Xiaotong soon reached her room. Although she was resting on her bed, nothing in her posture or her expressions was telling that she was resting. The continuous twist and turns of her on the bed were telling how anxious she was and the frowning brows of her expressions were telling how hard was she thinking of the things internally. 

But both her anxiousness and thoughts took a pause when there came the anticipated knock at the door of the room. Getting up at once, she agreed, "Lillian, come inside." 

And the next second, the assistant came in fully prepared. Her expression had the confidence but it also held the hesitation. "Xiaotong, why haven't you slept yet. Mrs. Zhang won't like you seeing awake this late at night." 

Zhang Xiaotong shrugged. "It's fine, she is not at home.. Furthermore, I was waiting for you. Did you find the details?"
