Chapter 230 - She Wanted Her Brother To Protect Her.
After dropping Li Xue and Li Wei back in Little Carnations, Feng Shufen drove his way to the planned family dinner. But before leaving he has made sure of everything. He has helped WeiWei with her schoolwork and has also asked Sister Margaret to cook something good and healthy for them. Like he was living the words and promises he has made in the car before.
Li Xue sighed. She wanted to interrupt but found no heart to do so. The contentment, his face held after making every arrangement around was something that gave her heart an urge to treasure him more. Smiling to herself, she let him do everything he wanted.
Her thoughts and set rules got changed without her knowing. She didn't even realize when she became so easy to accept everything this man brought to her. In the past when Zheng Wenting ever planned anything for her, she has always pushed his arrangements away thinking that those efforts were made just to change her.
But with Mr Beelzebub, she never got that feeling. Maybe because he always makes sure to put her liking first. Or maybe because she has already accepted the fact that this man will never try to change her and will accept her even in her worst. Because she has already started to believe his words, leaving all her restrictions behind.
Feng Shufen knew all these changes in her too. And this feeling was something that was making him go more and more doting for her. He has taken an oath to bring her true self back again. The one she has lost amid so many pains from betrayal and abandonment.
Feng mansion has been located at the other end of the city. So it took some time for him to reach. Not like he had any urgency to reach there. Taking his enough time, he got there just at the time of the dinner.
As his car stopped in the front of the mansion, the servants quickly went in to inform everyone about his arrival. The visit of the Young Master has never been a small thing in the household. His unamiable, cold attitude has already been known by everyone.
When he entered, the butler came up first to greet him respectfully, "Young Master!". Feng Shufen merely nodded and continued his steps inside. It has already been more than four months since he last visited here.
As he walked in, Zhen Qinrou walked elegantly to welcome him. If anyone would have seen the smile playing on her lips then they wouldn't be able to show their surety in saying that Feng Shufen was not her son but a stepson.
"Ahh! Shufen! finally, you are here. I have missed you so much. Why didn't you come to visit us more often? This big place with just only two oldies makes it boring. I even asked Yi Lan to come and visit us but you know how she mimics your steps", she said, with a beautiful aged smile on her lips.
"Second Mother!" Feng Shufen greeted curtly and then moved to look at his father, who soon appeared from behind. His address to Zhen Qinrou was not a surprise to anyone as it has always been like this.
Feng Shufen has never questioned his father when his mother left and a new woman appeared in their life. His father assumed him to be a kid at that time but seeing his calmness and aloofness from then made him realize that he already understood the betrayal his father has given to his mother.
Feng Yu Hao never dared to ask him about his thoughts, fearing that he might not be able to take the words of his son. So he let him be the way he wanted to be. He blamed himself for his cold and aloof behaviour but when saw him ruling the business with that attitude, he no longer cared. The ruler must have to be strict and cold to rule the masses.
"Father!" Shufen greeted politely when he saw his father stop almost beside Zhen Qinrou. There was politeness in his eyes but no respect. Though it might not be visible to other people's eyes. But sharing the same blood with his son, Feng Yu Hao can see through him the best.
His gaze got fixed at his son's face for a moment, before he nodded and said, "It's nice to see you come back. Visit us more often! How is the company going? I heard …"
Before the man could say anything more, the woman said from beside him. "Darling, let him breathe first. He has just come back home and you have already started your business talks".
Then moving her gaze back at Shufen, she continued, "Shufen, you can go back to your room and get fresh, if you want to. I have already asked someone to prepare your clothes".
At this moment a low chuckle boomed lightly from behind. "Ahh! we have got such a loving mother here". It was Feng Yi Lan, who has come back. Her words were simple and all ordinary, but Zhen Qinrou can see the mockery in her eyes.
Coming inside she gave a small hug to her known mother, as she continued her words, "Mother, don't scold me for my words. You know I am your sweet little daughter who has always loved the fun. But you really need to avoid this extra sweetness of yours. Or it might not be too late before you kill all us with that pretence of sweetness.".
"Yi Lan, what are you saying? She is your mother?" Feng Yu Hao raised his voice when felt his wife's expression getting downed.
"Why are you getting serious, Father? I was just playing around with Mother. You know how much I love her. This is my own unique way of showing that love. And Mother knows it well, isn't it?" She said with a smile and then turning her eyes back at Zhen Qinrou, she asked her to confirm her words.
"Yes, yes, she has become all naughty these days. But I really need to discipline her. You two suit yourself and I will take her inside", she said and then held her wrist to take her inside quickly.
But before her mother could take her in, Feng Yi Lan turned back and pouted looking at Feng Shufen, the same as any little sister would do to her big brother, asking him to save her from her mother's wrath.
