Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 1240 Oathed to protect.

After sending off Shin You Jun and Shen Bingling, Li Xue stayed at the hospital. Du Fan has taken the shot for her and it was only right for her to take care of him after. After all, she never took him different from her family, and when one member of your family is in the hospital, it was only sincere to stay there and look after him. 

”It’s already late. Are you not going back?” Seeing a cup of coffee appear in front of her eyes, Li Xue asked without even looking at the person who brought it to her. She was feeling sleepy and this cup of caffeine was what she needed the most at the moment. 

”Leaving a woman, especially you alone at night is not my thing. So, I am planning to stay here with you until that driver of yours regains consciousness.” Jing Wei Jin said before walking to incline himself on the wall across her. 

Li Xue looked up at him and shrugged her shoulders. “I don’t see there is a need for that”, she said before gesturing for him to look at the men who were there with her, standing all in the row, “… as I am not really alone here. I have thanked you and you have nothing more to help me with, nor you are too familiar with Mr. Driver. So, your staying over for him to gain consciousness doesn’t really make sense. You can always go back and rest. I am sure rushing to my rescue at the nook of the time must be tiresome.” 

She said and, in her tone, one could easily feel the anger she has been suppressing inside her. Jing Wei Jin didn’t need to ask what that anger was all about. Their previous conversation had something to do with it and he knew it. But more than that, he knew that at the moment, the woman was feeling frustrated with herself. He knew when she would not find the answers she was looking for, she would be irked to her core. 

For a good moment of time, neither of the two spoke. Li Xue sipped on the coffee and tried to relax her nerves. Only when Jing Wei Jin saw her mood getting a little better, he spoke, “My queen, you don’t have to …” But before he could even barely begin, Li Xue stood up to throw the used-up coffee cup in the dustbin before returning back to sit. 

”If not a problem, can you not speak anything at the moment. I am feeling sleepy and might not be a good listener.” Li Xue said before she reclined her back on the chair in rest and closed her eyes. Although her words came polite, it was just on the surface. The intention was clear that right now, she wasn’t in the mood of talking, otherwise who feels sleepy just after having a cup of strong coffee. 

Jing Wei Jin has never overstepped the comfort line of Li Xue, so when she brought it up like that, he simply nodded and agreed with her. “Fine, then take an hour sleep, darling. I will be around and will not leave you alone.” 

He said and this time, she didn’t say anything to reject his idea. Not because she wanted him to stay, but because she knew that no matter what she says, the man won’t leave her soul alone. 

So, simply ignoring his words, she kept her eyes closed. She wasn’t upset with him, but at this time she was feeling like she was being betrayed. And being betrayed by friends was worse than getting stabbed by enemies. She didn’t know if Wei Jin was telling her the truth or was just hiding things but at the moment, she was feeling that the world was knowing the things better than her. And that feeling was simply …

Thinking about all that, she didn’t even realize when she actually fell asleep. But since the day was kind of hectic for her, the sudden sleepiness like that was inescapable. Furthermore, she was relaxed as she knew there was nothing more to worry about. The doctor has said Du Fan is fine. She has already called and asked Sister Margaret to accompany WeiWei and about her safety, she has learned from her past and let the people do their duty. So, relaxing in her stance, for the time being, she fell asleep without caring about the future. 

On the other side, walking away from Li Xue, Jing Wei Jin’s expression gradually changed. Although all this while he was having a playful cover on his face, he was not in the mood for the same in reality. 

Earlier when he came to know that someone had actually dared to put their hands on Li Xue, even after his warning, he was furious. He wanted to turn the whole world upside down but didn’t have the time. 

So, rushing to the rescue of the woman first, he put every other thing aside in the corner. And he couldn’t explain the surge of anxiousness he felt when he saw someone keeping the trigger ready at her. At that moment, when he shot at the leader, he pulled the trigger not just to protect the woman; but because he wanted to put that person on the death bed.

How dare he think he could recline the gun at the woman he, Jing Wei Jin, has oathed to protect?

”Hello, Shaoqing!” hearing the call getting connected, Jing Wei Jin begin with a cold tone, “Did you find out who were those daring punks?” 

”Brother, as we have thought they were not someone significant. Just one of the emerging gangs who wanted to become famous in the world sooner. They might not have known you so they dared to step out of their boundary.” On the other end of the call, Jing Shaoqing replied. 

But his words were not something that could ease the killing intent Jing Wei Jing held in his eyes. His cold eyes at the moment have the power to pierce the darkness of night. “If they haven’t known, let me personally help them know me. Send me the address of their base. I want to see how audacious and courageous they could get seeing their end near.” He said and then before hearing a word from the other side, he disconnected the call. 

Jing Shoqing on the other side felt a shiver run down his spine. He never feared his brother, but he has to agree that whenever it’s about Li Xue, his brother becomes something else that he couldn’t imagine ever after thinking for thousand times. 

While on the other side, Li Xue was still in her sleep when she suddenly felt a warm, comforting embrace enveloping her. Since it was still the season of spring, the weather was not particularly cold, yet for some reason, she felt that the extra layer of warmth was very comforting around her.

She scooted closer to it until a familiar cologne entered her senses. She didn’t need time to recognize it, the moment she inhaled it she knew who it was. Her lips curled up as keeping her eyes closed, she murmured under her breath. “Mr. Beelzebub!”
