Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

As Qi Shuai sauntered inside, he kept his eyes at the woman. "Dr Collin, is everything fine? Did you check her already?" He asked, not knowing what exactly happened that she had pulled her brows into a frown.

He wanted to walk up to her and ease the creases she has formed on her forehead but knew that it would further add fuel to her irritation.

The young doctor nodded at his words and then turning back at the woman said, "Yes, everything seems fine but there are some things that should be taken care strictly to prevent the damage from happening".

He paused and then looked back at the man. "That's why I was waiting for you to come back. Knowing Ms Feng's antics for a few years now, I can't entrust such serious things to her. And also knowing you I am sure that you won't be leaving her alone until she gets back to the best of her health. So it would only be better if I let you know about all the details"

Dr Collin said with a gentle professional smile, all known about how the things work between this peculiar couple.

"Hey, James Collin! Look at me nicely. From which side, do I look like a baby for you to treat me this way? I don't need a caretaker in my life. Furthermore, with Director Qi's notability, do you think I can ever afford him at my side". Feng Yi Lan said, eyeing Qi Shuai meaningfully. "… as caretaker" She added on.

There was a kind of sarcasm in her tone that easily pierced the man's heart like a sharp dagger without coming in anyone's notice.

But it only brought a smile on the men's lips as if he did not get any of the hidden meaning behind Yi Lan's words. Turning to the doctor he casually said, "It's okay, Dr Collin. You are not wrong completely. I won't be leaving Yi Lan until she recuperates completely. So please let me know the things that I should know in detail."

"You … I said I don't want you around me. Can't you get that simple thing in your head?" Yi Lan yelled, but all her shouts went to deaf ears as none of the men paid any heed to it.

"Director Qi, though Ms. Feng's ankle is not that bad at this moment but still, we could not ignore the hairline fracture she has in her ankle bone. It will take a minimum 6 to 8 weeks to heal properly and it will be important for her to modify her activities during that time" Dr Collin said and Qi Shuai nodded understanding it well.

But the more Yi Lan heard it the more she felt wronged. Feng Shufen has not called her childish for anything. She truly had her childish instincts intact in her even when she was already a woman in the middle of her adulthood now.

"Hey, Dr Collin, are you now taking revenge on me? Yesterday, after meeting Li Xue, didn't you say that I am all fine and would only need to stay a day here in your hospital. Now, what are you talking about eight weeks? You better not play those games with me" she scowled, pulling up a finger in his direction.

Seeing her glunching over his words, the doctor let out a chuckle as he said. "Oh my dear Princess, with your yesterday life – death stunt on me, do you think I will ever be able to think to plan anything against you? Sorry, I love to look at the beauties around me but I love my life a little … just a little more than that. So whatever I am telling right now is not out of some revenge against you".

"And about this six to eight weeks, it's for your own well – being, dear! A hairline fracture is no big deal but it is no less deal either. If not treated well, your leg will become all useless for life. I am just preventing it from reaching the worse stage" he added in continuation.

Feng Yi Lan pouted on her worrisome state. "Will I really not be able to wear heels now?" she asked just like a small child who was restrained to have chocolates by his dentist after tooth decay.

Qi Shuai could only smile looking at her like that. Of course, he knew how much Yi Lan loves to wear her heels even though her height was not something that ever required it.

"I feel bad for you, dear. But I guess you have to forget those heels and get befriended with the protective footwear I am going to give you. Because only that could help you now. I would have suggested you to use crutches for some days to keep weight off your ankle but unfortunately, I have known your tantrums better and that something only Director Qi could tolerate. So I let you go easy by sparing that"

Dr Collin said moving his eyes between both the man and woman, making sure that they both were understanding the things he was saying.

Feng Yi Lan puffed out in annoyance, "Collin! You are really mean. This is definitely your revenge against me. I am not going to believe you".

Hmph! Did he want her to be grateful to him since he has not asked her to use crutches? Not only she was recommended to not wear heels but has also been asked to wear protective footwear. Don't they know that those shoes could not always go with the dresses? Being a fashion brand founder, how can she accept to look out of the fashion pictures.

"It's okay Dr Collin! It's just a period of a few days. Yi Lan will be fine with the things you have suggested. I will take care of her. If things are fine, please help me prepare her discharge papers. She is not too comfortable to spend time in hospital rooms. It makes her feel a little nauseated", Qi Shuai said, giving an understanding look to the Yi Lan.

Though the VVIP room of the hospital was top notched, none less than the room suite in some five – star hotel but it was something in its air that has always made Yi Lan uncomfortable in it. This was something not everyone knew about her, but Qi Shuai was definitely an exception to it.

The doctor nodded with a smile then addressed the nurse to proceed in the process of discharge before they both left the room.

Qi Shuai turned to look at the woman who was sitting and sulking on her own. "Don't worry, Yi Lan. Six weeks will pass by before you would even realize. Once the fracture is healed you can wear as much heels as you want. You don't have to sulk over such a petty thing". He said consoling the woman with his best words.

But Yi Lan was in no mood to hear it. This bed struck position from last afternoon was bringing her worst mood swings and above that, the presence of the man was doing no good to her.

"It's okay, Director Qi. I am all fine. You don't have to bother yourself here. As I have already said before, I can manage on my own. You would still have work on your side. Please carry on with your stuff. Don't hold yourself back because of me" she said, trying her best to come out as polite as she could.

But the man was too stubborn to understand it. He simply shook his head and said, "It's fine. I can handle both the things. I would not leave you alone here like this".

"Director Qi, do you really have to be so hard-headed. Do I have to remind you every time that you are not my boyfriend to take care of me like this?" she ridiculed in a low tone but the man did not budge, making the woman go more insane with exasperation.

Nodding her head, she said, "Fine! If my loneliness is seeming sympathetic to you then that's fine. I have a solution", she paused to give a challenging look to the man then turning to take her phone from the table at the side, she continued, "I will call my boyfriend, Su Fai here to keep me company. That will be a much better situation than in which we are at this moment."
