Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

"Hey! Are you sure, it's fine? I would have helped her. You know I am not that bad in studies" Yi Lan asked as she saw the little cute doll hopping her way out.

Looking at her friend, Li Xue shook her head in denial, "No, no it's totally fine. I know you can at least handle the studies of a primary student. I have that much faith in your level of knowledge. But WeiWei loves to spend her time with her Daddy Angel, so just let her. You know how kids are! She would be all happy and fine with him"

"Hey! You are again there. Making fun of me. What faith are you talking about? Remember, I went abroad to complete my studies, how can I not handle a little kid's studies. Of course, it will be easy for me to help her" Feng Yi Lan snapped when heard her friend making fun of her with those sarcastic words. If it had been from any other person, then without any say she would have done worse to him.

But since this was something coming from her dear Xue, how can she be offended? After all, she and her friend were bound to play around. It has been like this in their past years together. And even if it was an offence intended to her then too she would have been normal to it since it has brought back her previous cheerful Li Xue.

She was not sure what seemed so different but the air around Li Xue seemed changed. It felt brighter and flowery. She looked like she had found something precious, something or someone she can treasure apart from Li Wei. Suddenly Yi Lan realized something.

Her eyes got squinted and brows got raised with slight curiosity. "Hey, tell me something. Is it only Li Wei getting more and more happy and comfortable with her Daddy Angel. Or something has changed for my Queen too. You also look so different and happy now. Did that stranger has become the reason behind what you are looking now".

Li Xue almost got choked on her breath at her friend's words. But feigning complete innocence, she said, "Huh? What absurd are you saying? There is definitely nothing like that. I have been like this for a century now!"

Her punning words were good but it brought no change to Feng Yi Lan. Her squinted eyes became more narrowed as she eyed Li Xue with a warning. "I would always appreciate your honesty."

Li Xue knew that honesty was healthy and important in any relationship, be it in friendship or any other relationship. Thinking of it, she was about to make her plans to confess the truth in front of her, when suddenly Feng Yi Lan added more of her words. 

"I am all happy with your choice until you are not into that jerk, Zheng Wenting again and has kept my Devil brother excluded from your choice list. One is poisonous for this entire society and another one will be unbearably dangerous for you"

Li Xue, no more knew how to react to her words now. Her moments before made decision instantly got changed as she shook her head internally, 'No, Li Xue, you cannot reveal things now. Take proper time and decide a good way before you do that or this beautiful lady would not hesitate to murder you for sure'.

"Ahem … ahem! Yi Lan, I think, we should now shift to your topic. You have done enough interrogation on me already. Now it's your time to do some confession. Live your words, be honest as honesty will be rewarded at the end" She efficiently diverted the topic from herself to her.

Now it was Feng Yi Lan's time to feign her innocence. "Haha … What are you talking about? Was there some confession that I needed to make? Hehe … you must be mistaken sweetheart!" She said as she turned on her heels to walk back in the living room.

But to whom she was fooling around. because Li Xue was definitely not going to believe her words, especially after seeing the transparent wall of guards in her eyes. She was sure that her friend was hiding something inside her that was piercing her heart very badly, suffocating her insides. It was evident in her voice on the call before and also in the lie she is saying now.

"Yi Lan, you know that you can't lie to me right? So why are you even wasting your words and energy for it. Tell me straight what had happened in all those years when I was not with you". Her words became stern and very serious towards the end. She was sure that something must have happened in the last few years because the Yi Lan she was seeing now has got many things changed in her.

Maturity and seriousness was something that comes with time and experience but her Yi Lan was not this strict and cautious before as she was seeing her now. Though she still likes to play and joke around her, still Li Xue could see the thin layered guarded wall of cautiousness she has built around her that was not there before. Like she was losing confidence in herself … Like she was detesting herself and someone inside.

"Yi Lan, you know that friends won't ever judge each other. You can tell me anything and I won't ever calculate you on the basis of that", she said as she brought her hand up to pat her shoulders lightly. But before she could even do it properly, Feng Yi Lan turned around, only to wrap herself around her friend, tight enough to feel the comfort only she provided to her.

Li Xue was shocked for a moment as she felt the tall and confident girl, she has always admired from their first-day meeting, trembling. For what the hell was she suffocating herself like this? Her confidence and strength have been hurt deeply and being her best friend she never had any idea about it.

She felt guilty for her ignorance towards her friend. All this time, she was mourning about her own past when her friend needed her support.

She wanted to chide herself for being so insensitive but this moment was not any suitable for that. She needs to help her Yi Lan first, after all, she could not see her in the pain.

"Yi Lan, tell me what is it? For what are you blaming yourself?"

"Xue, it has always been because of me that people around keep on losing their precious things and people. I am the most sinful being on this Earth. That's why Brother hates me and I hate myself", Feng Yi Lan said as she again burst into sobs.
