Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

The next day, Li Xue woke up with her best fresh mind. The smile on her lips was telling that the new morning has brought happiness to her. 

"WeiWei, here you have got your pancakes. Come on, finish it fast. You need to go to your school as well." Keeping the plate served with pancakes on the table, Li Xue said before gently caressing her hair. And then turning to Feng Shufen, she also served him some. 

Feng Shufen stared at her and nodded. "You sit as well. Let's have breakfast together" he said; to which Li Wei chimed as well. 

"Yes, Mama. Having breakfast together is fun." She said and Li Xue had no mood to reject. 

Taking the set at the table at once, she agreed, "Of course, I need to get my breakfast as well. Later I would have to go to work as well." 

Li Wei smiled at her before getting back to her plate, but on the side, Feng Shufen's brows tugged in confusion. "Your new project is starting from today?" He asked and Li Xue casually nodded, before forking fruits from her fruit salad into her mouth.

"Mhm. It's starting from today. The whole schedule is going to be two weeks long and I am excited about it." She said, looking at the man with shining eyes. She was truly excited. Though she has walked on many ramps, the program of the royal association was completely different. It was more like walking and posing with the ancient traditions of Chiboa. And just the thought of it was sounding so interesting to ears. 

Feng Shufen looked at her. He knew there was string attracting Li Xue to the palace and people there, but he never wanted to see her getting hurt. So, to ensure the security of her emotions and feeling, he couldn't help but double-check the things for her.  "But didn't Shin You Jun say that the official commencement of the program will start after two days?" 

Li Xue looked at her and paused. But then taking the glass of fruit juice from the side, she sipped before answering, "Yes, previously, it was planned that way. But yesterday night, I requested Ma to push it a bit ahead. Luckily she agreed and made all the arrangements for it."  She said as a smile of gratitude cover her lips. 

Feng Shufen heard her and nodded before looking back at his plate. He took a few bites in silence but then looking up casually, he said, "I hope pushing the dates ahead has nothing to do with the family gathering." His words were light but the effects that they caused on Li Xue didn't seem the same. 

The movement of the forks in her hands paused as she didn't dare to match the gaze of the man directly. She thought to herself for a moment before bringing a smile over her lips to say, "What if I say that somehow everything is interconnected?" She looked up at his face, seeing his expression change slowly. 

But just when he was about to grow dark, darker, and darkest; Li Xue shook her head and reached out to hold his hands that were kept on the table. "Mr. Beelzebub, I promised you just yesterday. Do you think I will forget it just in a night? Don't worry, although the things seem related, that's not the exact thing that I thought of when I asked Ma to push the dates ahead."

She said and Feng Shufen waited to hear the whole of her words to understand the things. His gaze remained firm on her as if without hearing her say the all, he wouldn't be believing her. 

Li Xue was really speechless looking at him like that, but she knew she couldn't complain. She dug it herself, now she had to take the initiative to fill it back. 

"Fine. Since you don't believe that, let me explain. The things with the royal project were getting pushed continuously for my comfort. Consider it as our together busy schedule or Her Highness's concern for me, but I have always been the center of the reason. This has started creating talks. I only got to hear it from Sister Xinyi. So, to not cause people to accuse Ma of being biased towards me, I just requested her to begin. After all, since she is treating me nicely, I should treat her better. I can't just stand there and cause her the problems." 

"…" Feng Shufen heard her and didn't say anything. His expression seemed nonchalant but it was clearly telling Li Xue that he knew that explanation was not yet over. 

Li Xue wanted to pout but seeing him sitting and looking at her so firmly was tingling her skin. 

WeiWei looked at her mother from the side. She has been silently having her breakfast and was not paying too much heed to her parents' talk, but her ears were sharp enough to read the silence of her parents. 

She blinked her eyes at her Daddy Angel who has been looking at Li Xue, before turning to encourage her mother. "Mama, Daddy Angel is still waiting. You can say everything to him, He will not be mad at you. Right, Daddy Angel?" 

Li Xue heard her daughter but at the moment she was not in the right consciousness to hear her good and innocent intentions like that.  "WeiWei, you still have food on your plate. Don't talk while eating. Focus on your food." She said and the little girl blinked at her mother. 

Nodding to her in agreement, she went back to piece her pancakes. "Okay, Mama. WeiWei will complete her food first then." 

"I am still waiting for you to complete." Feng Shufen said and his words like that were enough to make Li Xue realize the need of the situation. 

Coughing, she started, first with a bit of hesitation but then with perfect confidence.. "Ah, apart from that one main reason there was also a secondary reason that I thought of when requesting Her Royal Highness."
