Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

"Yi Lan, you know that was dangerous. How could you do something like that? Did you forget that your leg is not in the right condition? What would have happened if I wasn't able to control my fall and would have pressed my weight on your ankle"

Qi Shuai half yelled, straightening himself back at a little distance. His brows all scrunched up, showing the worry and anxiousness he felt in that short moment of time. In that wave of worry, he has almost forgotten about the fall of the bowl on her lap.

The woman simply pouted at him and repeated the same words from before. "It's your fault. Why do you come to tease me? Didn't I say that I don't like your cooking? That bone broth was just awful. I would have never had that if not seen your efforts. I am a girl who would always value manners".

Qi Shuai could only look at her and sigh. This woman sometimes becomes so bewitchingly stubborn that even you could not afford to lash out on her. "Okay, I accept that my cooking was not up to your taste and you just completed the full bowl keeping my hard efforts into mind. Is that right? That's what you want to say?"

Feng Yi Lan pondered on his words for some time, trying to see if there was any word trap he had set for her. But when her intelligence found none, she nodded, "Yes. Exactly! that's the sole reason! I can't see people's …"

Before she could complete her words, the slowly curling lips of the man paused her in between. Her brows quirked up a little together as she was about to ask him the reason behind that curl but the man answered before she could even question.

"Do you desperately want to let me feel how special I am for you? And that you have always been considerate to me and my efforts? Aww, my heart feels so warm and touched."

"You … When did I say something that absurd?" She cried out as she thought to jump up to pull him down by neck but then a clanking voice on the floor stopped her in the middle of her movements. Her eyes trailed to look at the bowl that was rolling down on the floor and then to her own lap, only to see some stains on her clothes.

Qi Shuai too followed her gaze and twists & turns of her head to look at the stains on her clothes. "This …" he began but was cut short in an instant by the woman.

"Aishh!! You deliberately ruined my dress. And still, you are here to tease me. You are really a bully and a pervert too. I won't talk to you anymore. Go, go away", Yi Lan said, resentfully.

Qi Shuai was bewildered with her choice of words. Bully and pervert! Raising his brows slightly in confusion, he took his step a little forward to ask her.

"Bully and pervert, Princess?"

Hearing his question, the woman instantly shot her eyes up, narrowing it onto him. "Yes! You are a bully and a pervert. Always bullying me and having perverted thoughts in your head" She said and again dipped down her head to look at her stained clothes.

She was still wearing the same clothes Qi Shuai had bought for her earlier. For some strange reasons, she was already liking the dress but now with these stains … It has simply ruined her mood more. Though spatters were not too big, it was still enough to ruin the look of the dress.

'Argh! Why did it have to be this dress? This was so beautiful on me, and furthermore I wasn't still bored of this one', she cried in her heart as she continued, 'No, not like this. I will not let it ruin like this. Later I will call Lisa and ask her to take this to Mark. He will definitely be able to come up with the solution for this'. She decided internally. Mark was one of the best fashion designers under her clothing brand Aurora.

The man's eyes widened more in shock as he looked at her, opening and closing his mouth like a fish. However, he was just not able to understand her words. Did this woman lose all her intelligence of using the right words in the years, he was not there by her side?

"Are you sure, you are calling me a bully and pervert, instead of caring and considerate, Princess? I think you are messing with the meaning of the words. Think about it again, you might realize the blunder you are making".

Feng Yi Lan pressed her lips together as looked up at him, stretching her lips more and more into a forced smile. "Brother Shuai, if you have forgotten, let me remind you. I have studied in the States. Do you really think that living there for so many years, the only language I will be weak at, will be English?"

"So you are purposely calling me with those titles, knowing the meaning?" he asked, getting a little stern with his words. But that strictness in his aura did not waver the girl even a bit, as she nodded without giving any heed to hesitation.

"Yes, I am. Am I wrong somewhere?"

Qi Shuai looked at her. His eyes boring deep into her, trying to dominate her a little, but the girl was too stubborn to take his dominance. Not like forcing has been in his intention.

"I can accept the reason behind you calling me a bully. But won't take your accusation of calling me pervert, without any proper explanation. Explain to me what did I do that made you call me to pervert?" he retorted back.

"Ruining my such a beautiful dress deliberately, you must be only called a pervert!"

"Huh? Do you think the person who dirties someone's dress is called pervert? Your English is surely not good. I should recommend you to take the classes to learn the language again", he sneered back.

Feng Yi Lan looked at him and then smiled saying, "Director Qi, we can't call a person a pervert if only dirties the dress of someone. But we can surely call someone a pervert who dirties someone's clothes just because he wants to help her change the clothes all over again. You are really a pervert. Hmph!"

"What? What stupid things are you thinking? I am a pervert?" He asked, getting all stumped at her silly thoughts and logic. "Weren't it you who asked my help to change early in the morning? I even said that I will call a nurse to help you but you provoked me against it. Don't you think the tag of pervert is wrongly given? You should be the one called a pervert. But am I calling you that?"

The woman let out a loud chuckle of disbelief at his words. "What did you say? Me, pervert? Huh? Did I take the advantage of your body while touching you? Director Qi, at least think once before you speak. I was clearly the victim there. You were the one who was taking advantage of me, being so close to me like that".

"Taking advantage of you? Only if I had known I would get such a beautiful tag afterwards then I would have made sure to make a perfect and full advantage then" he paused as he again looked at her. "But I think it's not late yet. The things are repeating again to give me a better opportunity. So let me make better amends".

He said and Feng Yi Lan was out of wits. "What? What do you mean?" Before she could register the things properly, the tables were already overturned.
