Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Li Xue turned to look at Feng Shufen. The slight wrinkles between her brows were telling that she was waiting for him to explain the article that she had been holding in her hands. 

It was not the first time for Feng Shufen. So, the moment he saw her, he read her face and knew what she was seeking for. But still as if he hadn’t understood her curiosity well, he avoided her gaze and got onto the driver seat. 

When Li Xue saw him like that, she squinted her eyes at him for a moment, unbundled her seat belt and then extended the iPad in front to his face, so that he had no way to avoid it. 

“Mr. Beelzebub, will you care to explain? What is the article all about?” 

Feng Shufen closed his eyes and Li Xue’s eyes narrowed more at him. But she got back in her position on the passenger seat and buckled herself back to it. “I am waiting for it.”

The drive started without Feng Shufen saying anything. And Li Xue knew he was just teasing her, creating suspense. 

She didn’t probe further but her attitude remained the same for the entire drive. Soon the car came to a halt at the driveway of Our Paradise. Feng Shufen looked out and then announced, “We are already home. Let’s go inside and talk about it while having the dinner.”

“You won’t be able to persuade me this time. Being a princess, I have learnt how to throw tantrums. And you being my husband need to deal with it. You can’t shrug it off and ignore me.” She said before turning to look at Feng Shufen. 

“Can I ignore you?” He asked and Li Xue squinted her eyes in response. 

“Sometimes you do to tease me. Like you did just now.” Li Xue said and Feng Shufen gave her a kind of innocent smile that seemed like a trap. He directed his gaze to the iPad and spoke. “What’s there to tell? Isn’t everything written there self-explanatory?”

“Nope, it isn’t because I don’t want to know the ‘what’ factor here, rather I want to know the ‘why’ factor here. So, will you?” Li Xue counted and seeing her complaining like a little wife, Feng Shufen chuckled before revealing out. 

“That’s the press release we will be releasing soon regarding our wedding.” He spoke and Li Xue just stared at him in nonchalance. Reading the format and the article of the writing, she could already tell that it was the press release. 

“Since you are no longer just supermodel but have become the royal heir of the throne, this is a required formal procedure of our soon-to-be wedding. This will not just be the formal announcement but will also serve as the invite to the general public.” He further explained and Li Xue immediately interrupted with great surprise. 

“Wait! Did you just say sending invitation to everyone? Are you crazy?” 

Feng Shufen didn’t reply to her question but simply stared at her which made Li Xue cough out in embarrassment. “I mean I know that being a royal member especially the next in line, all my celebration is meant to be celebrated with all, I never thought this was for real. I mean inviting everyone for the wedding … won’t that be too expensive?” 

Reading the books on royal tradition, Li Xue has come across these essentials but while reading she never related it to her own situation, her wedding that was going to be there soon. But still even if she would have related it, she never would have taken it seriously. 

But now that Feng Shufen was taking it with such seriousness, it seemed that the tradition was not just a story. 

“Since it’s a tradition, we have to follow it keeping the royal decorum in mind. Don’t worry, everything will be settled.” Feng Shufen said without showing any sign of trouble. If it had been someone else, not for once would they have hesitated in showing their disappointment towards the traditions and rituals that don’t belong to their family. But here Feng Shufen was following everything as if it was his own. 

Li Xue stared at him. She didn’t doubt him, but for some reason she still couldn’t digest it. “Mr. Beelzebub, if we ask so many people in our wedding, won’t that be a big crowd? I mean …” 

Before she could say more, Feng Shufen cupped her cheeks in his hands and assured her, “It’s fine. I am capable of arranging it.” He said and Li Xue opened her mouth before closing it down, lacking the proper words to speak out.  𝚗𝑜𝒱𝓮𝓵xt.𝓬𝗈𝗆

How could she doubt his capability? She could never do that. After all, from when did Fengs lack capability? That too in the reign of Feng Shufen? No one else other than him was capable of lavishly inviting the entire nation to the ceremony. 

Li Xue shook her head before giving out a small alienated laugh. “Definitely not. Definitely not, Mr. Beelzebub. My intention was not to doubt your capabilities. It’s was just …” 

“It’s okay. I understood what you meant. For now, let’s not ponder over it. It’s getting late and we should complete our dinner before it’s too late.” Feng Shufen said, already leaning to her side to help her unfasten the seatbelt. 

Li Xue smiled and then nodded. “Exactly. Why are we wasting time now? It’s not that the wedding is happening tomorrow. It is still months away and we can think and plan for it taking all of our good time.” She said but then paused when she saw Feng Shufen staring at her with some different meaning. 

She got confused. Her brows furrowed and staring back at him she asked, “Wait! Am I missing something? Why do I feel like UI am unaware of something going around? Mr. Beelzebub, tell me straight what is happening?” 

Feng Shufen looked at her and gently brushed her hair. “Our wedding is not months aways but just at a week distance.”
