Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Soon the car reached back to Little Carnations and halted at Li Xue's place. Getting out from the car, the man went to get his little piece back into his comfortable embrace, so that he could carry her inside.

"It's okay. You can give her to me. You also had a tiresome day today after so much work lined up one after the other. I will take her back and you can go back to your place and rest. Here, let me carry her", Li Xue said as she extended her hand forward to reach her daughter.

"Are you trying to restrain me from getting into your place?" He asked and then without waiting for her to comprehend it, he stepped towards her house. "Don't delay. The keys are with you and you will have to open the door for me to enter".

"Huh?" she raised her voice in confusion but without understanding his words properly, she went to open the door first.

Feng Shufen smiled looking at her. This woman turns so fierce one time and so innocent and adorable the next moment.

Getting inside the house, Feng Shufen took Li Wei directly inside the room and helped Li Xue tuck her in the blanket. Then turning himself back to face the woman, he said: "Done!"

Li Xue smiled as her eyes went to the trail looking at her daughter's calm, sleeping face. "Yes, finally the evening came to an end. That was too exhausting. But I can say that you have kept my daughter wrapped around your finger"

"Our daughter!" he frowned and continued, "And daughters are born to be spoiled by their father".

Li Xue smiled and nodded. Then reaching him, she pulled her arms up to ease his scrunched skin between his eyebrows. "You will get wrinkles early if you keep frowning like this? Then do you think you will be able to match the men around me? Since you are again sending me to my previous career back, let me tell you I will be drowned in the stream of handsome beauty there"

She said and then pulled herself back a little to give an innocent look to the man. Like she has not said anything to get on his nerves before.

Feng Shufen also supported her act of innocence. Reciprocating her smile with his usual nonchalance, he said, "My stream has got the best depth in the entire country!"

Did she still have left to hear something? This man was a true savage.

Face palming herself, she said shaking her head, "Mr Beelzebub, can you please at least give me a warning before you shoot such a dangerous arrow to my heart? Sometimes it really becomes unbearable to handle them".

The man did not respond to her words rather just shrugged his shoulder off to show that he was an innocent one.

Soon they both walked out to the living room. There was still time for late-night to fall and none wanted to let go the time they could spend together.

"Do you want to drink tea? I can make some for you" she asked as the man took his seat at the sofa.

Shaking his head, the man denied, "Don't feel like. Sit!"

Li Xue nodded and took the seat on the next sofa near his. The calmness she felt while simply sitting with him was enough to burn away all her tiredness, same as the cuddles her daughter did. His cold face and icy eyes were enough to provide the warmth that she can get nowhere else.

"Won't you ask why am I adamant of pushing you back to your old life?" He asked after looking at her for quite some moment.

"Do you want me to ask?" She questioned, resting her chin on her palms.

It was also a little surprising for Li Xue. She has never had this level of blind trust in anyone. Just accepting the words without showing any reluctance has never been her thing in the past. But he has just proposed the idea for once and she has accepted it without asking his reason behind it.

Now seeing it felt like she has lost all her restrictions in front of him. This man made her lose every fear and forced her to embrace him with all her strength and courage.

"Answering a question with a question always leaves an important part of the real story behind," He said as his eyes showed the shine of fact that complimented his words effortlessly.

"Hmm … mhmm" Li Xue affirmed and then said, "People also say that if you intend to say something to the other, be the first one to initiate it. It lessens the misunderstanding and miscommunication between the two people."

"…", Feng Shufen did not reply for some time but then said, "Because I know you better than you know yourself!"

"I know how much you miss the dream you were forced to abandon! No doubt that you are more than happy in your present life. Best dessert chef, I have appreciated after my mother. But your gains are still less than what you lost behind."

"I know what that dream meant for you. Any girl at the age of 10, dreams about fairy tales becoming reality, but you dreamt to liven your career. If it had been that easy for you to forget all those then you would not have cared to fight to save it that way in your past years."

Though she never wanted to agree to this fact but yes, becoming a model has been a dream that she has nurtured with so many struggles. But losing everything when you are just a step away from achieving it, was the worst heartbreak any person would get.

Though she loved her present life and held it dear, that does not mean she has forgotten about the dreams she has held close to her heart for more than half of her life. Baking sweet dishes has become her love for 5 years now, but presenting her confidence to inspire the ladies of the society was her passion for 20 years of her life and was still alive somewhere deep within her.

Her eyes went to look at the man's dark ones that had perfectly read the chapters of her book that she had buried deep and hidden under lots and lots of covers.

"Do you feel sympathetic for my loss? I don't want anyone's sympathy!"

Feng Shufen shook his head. "Nope, I am not a good person under the covers of evil like you! I don't sympathize rather aims for revenge".

As he said those words, a dark glint of darkness crossed his eyes, that gave a mild hint of cruelty the man possessed inside himself but has never let her know about it. "I am a person whose revenge would not satiate until it gains what it has lost and makes the people lose a hundredfold of it."
