Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

"That lady whose blood got matched with His Majesty is from Feng Household?" the old aged butler asked, not quite believing it. He has seen the woman before and for some unknown reason he felt an air of familiarity in her but he could not put finger on it.

The bodyguard nodded soberly but his frantic eyes were telling some other tales.

Some lines of regressive thoughts appeared on the aged face of the old man. It was not his first year of serving the royals. He has given his service for more than half of his life now. And being with them all these years, he has now come to know the secrets that only the four walls of the palace have known.

"It's okay. That lady seemed to be very kind earlier. Even if she belongs to the Feng family, knowing His Majesty's critical medical condition, she would definitely agree to help" the aged butler said after giving his understanding thoughts to the matter. "We would go and ask her help all politely"

The bodyguard gawked at the old man with wide eyes. Did he really hear him say that they have to go and ask them politely and everything would be managed? He doubted that even begging like a beggar could help them. The way those grey eyes has earlier glared at him … that disdainful look it gave was simply not simple in any way. Even though there was no hostility in those eyes, it was because the man did not see them any capable of his attention.

"But Mr Cao, President Feng seemed quite protective of his lady. I really doubt that he would simply not allow us near her, let alone ask her" the bodyguard voiced out his inner thoughts in a much polite way.

The old butler looked at him and then his eyes turned to look at the operation theatre whose lighted bulb was letting him know that the surgery was still ongoing and His Majesty was on the brink of losing his life. The situation was really critical and there was a doubt if or if not, the middle-aged King will be able to survive.

The gunshot was not that fatal but the excessive blood loss has made his condition go worse. The blood type was rare and to some relief, they have found the matching donor here. But then her being involved with the Feng family now was giving a tough time to the situation. The old butler could only pray that the woman has an abundance of kindness in her heart to help His Majesty.

His brows got furrowed at his own thoughts as he said, "It's a critical situation. Let's see the need coming first. We will decide our actions as the situation asks us to". Though his words sounded simple, there was deep thinking involved in it.

"Her Highness is sitting and waiting inside that room. Get her some fruits to eat. In a situation like this, we cannot let her health get affected. Furthermore, we would not be able to bear the fury of His Majesty later, if he comes to know that we did not take care of the Queen in his absence".

The old butler added, knowing well how much loving and caring the King was for his Queen.

In the other room, Li Xue was more than bored. Since it was the best hospital in the city with the VVIP privileges, the room was not giving her any sense of the hospital. There was no foul smell of medicines and disinfectants in the air and even the bed that was provided in the room was all comfortable. But still, the frustrating silence of the man was giving an itch to her nerves.

Not able to take her own frustration anymore, she said, "Hey, Mr Beelzebub! Haven't you already had enough? Are you going to remain like that for eternity now?".

Feng Shufen looked at her but did not say anything. He was sitting on the couch at the side, while she was on the bed.

Li Xue sighed looking at his stubbornness. "Fine, since you want to be like that then better not blame me later." She warned, without any plans in her head. She just wanted to try how her warning worked on him.

Feng Shufen heard her words and could not help but shake his head internally. After being so wild and audacious with her mulishness outside and she has got the dare to warn him now.

"I am not mad at you," he said, looking at her, knowing however he tried he would not be able to ignore her threats and tantrums. "I just don't want you to follow anyone's rules or orders around. And helping the Royal family once, you would just become bound to help them every time they ask you".

Li Xue knew what he said was not wrong. He was not wrong to point out the truth. And she also knew that he only had her goodwill in his mind. Not to miss the pained expression she saw on his face when she was in there giving her blood samples and the fury in his eyes when that bodyguard said intending his words like she would be bound to help the royals even if that cost her life.

Getting out of the bed, she walked to him. The man's eyes followed her every movement. His body subconsciously turned a little when he found her coming to his side to take the seat.

Sitting beside him, Li Xue looked at him as she pulled his hands into hers. "Shufen, I know you are concerned for me but this is just a one-time help. I am not going to become a blood donor pig for them. Furthermore, even if they try to make me one, not to forget that I still have my ace at the back. I am sure you would always have a way to get me back to your side".

She said, showing her confidence in him.

The man looked at her as her soft smile seeped slowly into his heart. Moving his other hand's finger to comb her hair, he asked with a satisfied smile over her lips. "You have got so much confidence in me?"

Without showing any reluctance, Li Xue nodded, "Of course, seeing so many dependable bodyguards outside our room, I can only have my confidence on you. I have not called you my ace of the pack for nothing".

Feng Shufen nodded without getting offended by her words. "Good! You are right. Even if it is on the other side of the world, I will get you back to keep by my side. You are too precious to me to lose".

Li Xue smiled at his words. She could not doubt his sincerity as she can clearly see it in his eyes. She could no longer get teary seeing how delicately he treats her, for she has become all used to his ways of pampering. She could say that she has become too spoiled to show any gratefulness towards his ways. And for all this, she was not to be blamed rather the man who was responsible for spoiling her to this extent.
