Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

When Li Xue entered his house, everything looked as it was before. Everything shining with elegance and style. The crystal chandelier which has attracted Li Xue the most was not lit up as the sun was yet to go down and the darkness was yet to fall. Her eyes went straight to look at it the moment she stepped her foot in.

She has again got herself so engrossed with its beautiful pattern and design that she failed to notice that the man in her front has already made his move. Opening the shoe cupboard at the side Feng Shufen has already bent down to help them with it. "Here, you can wear this," he said to the woman after helping the little girl with her.

His sudden voice snapped Li Xue back to reality. Her steps stumbled back on their own when she found the man bending down near her feet. Her palms went to cover her agape lips which came out of surprise. A hand came to steady her on time when found her getting unbalanced on her foot. "Be a little careful!" the man said, warning her with a concerned laced voice.

"This? What are you doing?" she asked, not quite getting what he was doing.

"Mama, Daddy angel has got us a new pair of home slippers. He is just helping us wear, same as you help me wear every time you bring new pairs for me" Little Li Wei said, not understanding why her mother looked so surprised when someone else was giving her the same treatment she gives to her. Didn't she say before that person take care of you when they love you?

The little girl was confused. She was really too small to understand the complex thoughts of the elders.

When her little one explained the things, she realized that there was a pair of new slippers set in front of her, ready for her to wear. Those slippers were brand new without any doubt. "Do you want me to be seated on the floor for the whole day?" he asked when he saw her still struck in her own unknown stream of thoughts.

"Ahh, I am sorry. I never expected you to be like this", she said, her cheeks getting flustered red in little embarrassment. "This?? … Was this for your family?" she asked, asking about the slippers and then slipping in her feet lightly in the soft, padded soles.

Straightening himself back on his feet, the man turned around changing his slippers too and said in a simple tone. "I don't have any little princess in my family except WeiWei"

His words cannot be any more clear than this, and Li Xue can no more pretend to be confused anymore. Not exactly knowing how to respond, she simply replied while rounding her lips in the shape of O.

"WeiWei, I have bought you some good storybooks. You can read them but first, you have to go and get fresh and tidy" Feng Shufen said as he reached out for the little girl's hands once again and took her more inside the house.

"Ah, Presi … I mean Shufen, I was about to say that. Let me take her back. We can come here after getting fresh", Li Xue said, intending her best to take her steps back towards the gate from which she has entered. "WeiWei, come!" She spoke and extended her hand towards her little, for her to hold it.

"There is no need for that", The man effortlessly denied her words, turning swiftly to face her and then added. "This house has bathrooms for you two to get freshen up." With his words, Li Xue instantly remembered the day when the man had made his space in her house, bringing all his necessary stuff and making himself comfortable around like he wasn't a guest there rather a member living along with them.

Does he want her to do the same?

"Mr. Presi … I mean Shufen, I don't have my stuff here and neither WeiWei has. We still need to go, so it will be better if we …", getting an excuse has never been a problem for Li Xue rather the difficulty has been on its working. None of her excuses has ever helped her in front of Mr Beelzebub. But still not losing her hope she always tried her best to come up with something new.

The man lips curled to give a smile at her confused, innocent yet promising eyes as he said: "I have already asked Sister Margaret to prepare necessary things for you two. Everything must already be prepared for your use in the room. Just go and make yourself comfortable".

Li Xue was once again stumped at his thoughtfulness. He has asked Sister Margaret to prepare all these things for her? What was he thinking of while doing this? Did he not care what the old lady will think about his words? Does he think the whole world is as shameless as him?

Sigh! what that old lady might be thinking? She was already having suspicions of him acting weird around me and now this …

Li Xue really wanted the floor to make some space for her so that she could get to hide somewhere in there. But this world simply couldn't pity her or favour her over this shameless Mr Beelzebub. They still love the devil more.

"Mama, let's go! Daddy Angel has prepared everything for us and will also be going to cook for us. We should be a little obedient to him since he is doing so much for us. You said so before", A light tug on her clothes brought her back. Her little princess was standing near, pleading with her to make her move fast.

Looking at her big puppy eyes, Li Xue took a deep sigh again. Here she was busy blaming the world for giving her such embarrassment indirectly, when her daughter was already turning her best in the favours of her Daddy Angel, leaving her all alone in her misfortunes.

"Yes sure, baby! Your handsome Angel is really doing a lot for us. We should pay him back too. Let's go" she said, presenting a soft smile on her lips and looking at her one and only precious daughter.

'Li Xue, you need to come up with something strong too. You really need to work hard to overtake Mr Beelzebub's tricks or you will become a scapegoat in his play every now and then', she thought internally as her eyes went to look at the man who was standing all nonchalantly at his place.

"Mama, it's Daddy Angel now!" The little girl corrected her mother with a humorous giggle.
