Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 1398: Never knew you would become such a duffer, Mr. Beelzebub.

Feng Shufen’s brows furrowed. It has never been tough for him to read the expressions of Li Xue. Just a stare down her eyes was enough to tell him all about the things that were bothering her.         

    

But today things seemed a bit different. He wasn’t able to tell what was going on in her head even after looking into her eyes. Something was feeling hard to guess in her amber pairs.      

“Are you upset that I announce you as my wife there?” Thinking that she might not have liked his words earlier in front of the reporters, he asked.      

Li Xue raised her brows at him and folded her arms at her front. “Do you think that I shouldn’t?”      

Feng Shufen looked at her as his expression grew conflicted. He would have been sure that she wouldn’t have been upset regarding it in the past. But now that she had no memories of him, he doubted that her feelings might have also changed.      

And that doubt was what he was scared of. The change in her feelings for him was something he couldn’t even bear to think about. That’s why when he had a chance, he chose to act selfishly and accept their relationship with more firmness. So that even if she had a change in her feelings for him, she wouldn’t have the opportunity to leave him and move away.      

Feng Shufen’s expression suddenly hardened as he tried to hide away the emotions he was feeling inside. While his fists clenched inside his pockets, he said, “Amidst so many comments, I only felt that was suitable to say, so I said. If you are upset with it, don’t worry, I will ask Gao Fan to make sure that none of that gets released anywhere.”     

He said, and Li Xue didn’t say anything. Taking her silence as her acceptance to his words, next he pulled out his phone and dialed Gao Fan’s number to make the call. But just when the call could get through, Li Xue stepped forward and took away the phone, disconnecting it in an instant.      

Once done, she leisurely put the phone back in his pocket before looking up at him. He didn’t speak and Li Xue waited for him to speak. But then again, her patience has never been at the best. She had a lot to say and blamed him for. But she couldn’t do that without giving him a chance to make it up to her.      

Not able to take his seamless silence for long, she tiptoed and grabbed him by collar before pulling him down to ask, “Do you think I could be upset because of that? Are you a fool? Just last night I was the one who stirred it all up. How can I get upset about confessing our relationship aloud?”      

She asked, and Feng Shufen simply stared down at her, reading her furrowed brows that were confessing her blame she was holding against him.      

“Are you upset seeing me with Zhang Xiaotong then? You might not remember her, but she is not what you must have assumed. I have no relationship with her. And …” Thinking about the other assumptions, he tried to explain the other possibility but before he could even complete saying that, Li Xue left the hold of his collar and pushed gently on his chest.      

“Are you serious? Do you really not understand why I am upset, Mr. Beelzebub?”      

“I am just …” Feng Shufen didn’t note her words before but halfway, he paused when he realized how she had addressed him in between her words. While his brows got raised in astonishment, an incomprehensible expression got over his face as he asked to confirm. “What did you call me?”      

Li Xue stepped a step back and pursed her lips before looking away from him. Feng Shufen didn’t remove his eyes from her, rather kept on looking at her as if waiting for her to reply next second.      

When Li Xue caught the gleam of doubtful happiness in his eyes, she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She held an anger inside her which she wanted to vent out but that expression of his was just killing the urge of it.      

“I never knew that you would become such a duffer, Mr. Beelzebub? And that too in one month of my absence. Was one month enough to make you forget that for me you have always been Mr. Beelzebub from the start?”      

She said and slowly, the expression on the face of Feng Shufen changed. She stared at Li Xue blankly for a moment. “You …”     

Before he could say more, Li Xue helped him complete and say, “Yes, I remember it all. Were you wishing me to keep you forever in my forgotten memories?” She asked, clearly sounding pissed off at his reaction.      

But she didn’t expect him to envelop her in his arms the next moment. Before she could understand it or push him away, she was already wrapped in his arms like never. She wanted to push him away but paused when heard the pounding heartbeats of the man up from the close proximity.      

Was he scared?      

She has no idea.  But at the moment, she understood one thing, that she had been tricked by him once again. He wouldn’t even allow her to get angry at him.      

Letting him hug her for a bit long, she patted slowly at his back and said, “Will you now let me go?”      

“…” Feng Shufen didn’t seem to respond and his such stubborn attitude only made Li Xue remember WeiWei. Now, she got to know where the little one got her antics. Those must have come from his genes. Otherwise, there would have been no such scenario.      

While Li Xue shook her head inside, she patted his back again and said, “If you keep holding me like this, we might not be able to solve the problem we have got between us. So, please let me go. So that we can talk and you can explain.”
