Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

At Feng Internationals,

The managerial professionals were grasping in fear and nervousness sitting around the oval meeting table of the conference room. Their CEO has suddenly called everyone to get the reports regarding the upcoming projects their company will be involved in.

The people had anxiously held their breath, anticipating the conclusion that would be obtained from this meeting. Though the CEO has not yet arrived in the room but still the heavy presence indicating his arrival has made its space between everyone.

Some were having cold sweats wetting their palms and back of the neck in nervousness while some were feeling a severe drop in their blood pressure.

It was not like they were given any death warning before starting the meeting but the air he held around himself was itself so overwhelming that it can easily make people go on their feet.

Soon the door was pushed open by long rough hands, notifying everyone of the arrival of the person who has such great domineering effect on them. The person who has strolled into the room opening the door was none other than the Unbreakable Sword of Feng Internationals, Gao Fan.

The assistant held the door firmly then stepped a little aside so that the King could take his powerful and authoritarian presence in. The people who were sitting inside instantly shot up from their seats to give a good bend bow of respect to their President.

Feng Shufen took his seat on the colossal leather chair that was placed at the head of the table like a King who has got up to his throne to get the report from his court ministers. His aura was menacing, warning everyone to dare not come close.

Looking at him taking his seat, the officers too got their seats and started the presentation. They weren't prepared for this sudden notice but they have tried their best to bring up the report that could be acceptable to the President.

But looking at the expression on his face, they felt that their work still wasn't up to the mark. The ghastly stares of his eyes that were trained on the projector was making their body go numb.

The expression of despair he was holding in his eyes was clearly stating that nothing good would be coming out, but still they were praying the Almighty to bring the best for everyone. Annoyance was written all over his face.

Though his eyes were all dark and frigid, it still didn't stop impressing the woman with its charm. His charm led them up to the garden path, keeping them in oblivion. But by the time they would realize this, they would already be wasted.

As the meeting got to its end, the room became ghostly silent where everyone could hear anxious heartbeats of one another. But that sound doesn't feel to reach the ears of the person for whose words everyone was waiting for.

As the moments passed, the silence became unbearable but no relief was given. To make everything worse, the only thing that was awarded to them was the piercing stares of the cold grey eyes that did nothing but made them dizzy.

After God knows what time, finally the torture got over as he finally spoke. "Complete Absurd!". Not wasting another word, he stood up and left the room. The people seeing him quickly stood up and bowed apologetically. "We are sorry, President Feng. We will work harder".

But none of their words worked as the man walked off without glancing back for the second time. They got on the verge of tears, realizing how wrong they were to think that their work was presentable. They would not have known it until they had witnessed the disappointment in their President's eyes.

Outside Gao Fan, Feng Shufen's personal assistant followed into his office, closing the door behind them. The office décor was in the shade of black and white, giving a hint of his personality, cold and aloof. The office rooms had its own self equipped library giving a clue of his undeniable love for books.

He strolled to his chair taking his seat as he asked, "So did you find anything?"

Gao Fan nodded his head as he began, "Yes, President. As you have asked, I have got all the information regarding the woman Ms. Feng is looking for. Her name is Li Xue. Five years back she was a beauty diva of our country with a very promising career. But everything went to a reverse track when she was caught in a scandal with Han Co. Ltd. CEO, Mr. Han. The words got into the public saying he was having an affair with her out of his marriage"

"…", Feng Shufen listened to everything intently as if he was deeply thinking into every information.

"After that someone also leaked the news of her being pregnant. Not able to take the public rage, her family and peers also abandoned her. She left the city and got settled in a small city, making a living being a dessert chef in a small restaurant, Sweet Delicacy that is chained under our label. She has a five years daughter", he continued.

Giving the information, Gao Fan pushed the file of information regarding Li Xue on the table. He stood still with his hands on the side, waiting for the next orders.

"What about the present? Where is she?" he asked, lifting the file up to keep it at the side.

"At present, she is back in the city. And will be joining one of our restaurants as a head dessert chef. Due to some maintenance issues in the living quarters, she has been given temporary residence in Little Carnation's empty house, just next to yours", the secretary informed.

He wanted to ask if the President wanted to shift her to somewhere else but when he got the easy expression on his face, he felt that it was no more needed.

Back at Central mall,

Little Li Wei was enjoying her serve of chocolate éclair, bought by Feng Yi Lan. While the other woman was looking at her and having their talk.

"So, wan'na tell me the story behind such an adorable daughter?" Feng Yi Lan asked, looking at Li Xue. There was a smile of assurance on her lips, letting her know that she won't be judging her on anything.

Replying back to smile, the mother said looking at her little with an expression of fondness, "She is my reason to live. A gift that I got from heaven when I was at my worst."

Her friend could feel her word. But there was still something she was curious about. "What about her father? Is he from that…"

Knowing the remaining words of the question, Li Xue shook her head in denial, "Nope, he is not. That night I don't know what happened but she is definitely not his. She is my daughter, a miracle that happened in my life".

Feng Yi Lan nodded her head. If her friend was saying this, then only her words can be true. She will never listen to what other people say or what other people think. For her it was enough to know that this little chipmunk was her friend's daughter.

But again one thing was left to be asked. She looked at her friend with a jerk, trying to clear one last doubt in her head. "Xue, by any chance do you know my brother?"
