Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Though Li Xue has always wanted to tease Mr Beelzebub to an extent where he loses all his cool. But still seeing him losing something, even if it was for her … she could not bear to see it. So, when she saw his expressions getting gloomy, she did not care about her tease anymore and revealed the truth.

"Do you feel dizzy?" The man asked. His voice showed some concern, though his eyes being all plain and nonchalant.

Li Xue shook her head. "Nope, I am not that weak that donating just one unit of blood could make me feel dizzy this easily. Especially when these days my meals are being taken cared of in your strict supervision".

Though he had restricted Sister Margaret from revealing his regular care and concern about her meal intake, she has always heard the maids murmuring among themselves about how they are seeing their Young Master change day after day.

"Ohh!" he said with some pause then continued, "Since you are feeling fine then I don't find it necessary staying back here. Come, let's leave. We still have to pick WeiWei from Feng Yi Lan's place", he said as he dipped a little down, forwarding his hands for her to take the support.

When it was him giving a hand, then how could Li Xue bear to not take it?

She soon put her hand into his, but instead of taking the support to stand up, she pulled him down to sit beside her. Feng Shufen was not surprised. He has already seen the unwillingness in her eyes.

"Mr Beelzebub, why do we have to hurry so much? At least …"

Before she could complete her words, the man said on his own, "To look how the surgery would go at the end and how His Majesty's after the condition is, we will leave one of our men here". He said, leaving her no opportunity to question his words after. "One unit of blood might seem nothing to you but that amount will again cost me 48 hours of care, concern and patience".

Though Li Xue has always been quite good in studies back in school days, with this man around she always finds her brain cells running slow. Or maybe it was just in her thoughts. She raised her brows in confusion, not understanding the digits quite well. "Mr Beelzebub that …"

"Your body will replace the blood volume within 48 hours and it will again take four or eight weeks for your body to completely replace the red blood cells you donated". He completed her words with a poker face but Li Xue could no longer maintain her calm self.

This man was savage! He was purposefully using biological facts into the argument so that she could not have any words and reasons to retort it.

At the same time in some other room, the royal Queen was a lot more relaxed than she has been before. There was positive energy filled in her heart that was telling her that the things would definitely get better for good.

"Mr Cao, don't you feel that Your Highness seemed in quite a good mood. She no longer looked anxious about His Majesty's critical condition?" the same bodyguard said, his eyes dearly staring at the lady who was elegantly sitting on the couch.

The old butler nodded to the young man's words, "Yes, it seems like Mrs Feng's words have won Her Highness confidence in the first meeting itself. It's rare though".

When remembered Li Xue's words from before and how she dug his grave, he could not help but huff in a bratty manner. But when got the questioning gaze from the old man, he realized his real situation. Coughing a little to clear his throat, he went back to his stiff soldier composure

"Mr Cao, I am sure that with your age your known strictness would not have reduced. After all, practice from all these years would not have gone to waste." The lady said out of the blue, taking both the old and young man with surprise.

"Of course, Your Highness!" the old butler replied politely, agreeing to her words in an instant.

"Then given to the prior complaint regarding the soldier, Shin You Jun, I don't expect your discipline to be lacking anywhere. From all these years, you must have already memorized what type of punishment will suit him, given to the offence he has committed today". The words rolled out the lips of the Royal Queen in a way where no questions could be raised.

Her eyes gave a knowing smirk to the boy, whose expression looked no less than a sullen kid. "Do you have any problem with my words Shin You Jun?" she asked, clearly teasing the kid with the candy that he can never get.

The young bodyguard pressed his lips together. He was about to stomp his foot on the floor but he knew well that this would only add up in his list of offences.

"What? Do you not have something to say?" the lady provoked, pressing exactly the nerve that was needed to accelerate.

"Ma …", giving in to the provocation the man was about to lose when suddenly his words got stuck deep in his throat. The sharp gaze he was shot has already made him half paralyzed. "I … I mean Your Highness I will accept all the punishment I require to improve".

The lady did not say anything. Giving a nod, she simply affirmed his words. "Being the Royal Queen of Chiboa, I would never accept anyone flouting His Majesty's command in my presence". She said and bowing his head the bodyguard at once apologized.

"I ask for forgiveness, Your Highness. I would keep in my mind to not repeat this again".

The Queen did not speak anything further. But right then there was an unexpected knock at the door. Asking for the appropriate permission needed, the butler moved to open the door. His one hand tugged inside the pocket, holding his revolver in ready – to – use mode if another attack breaks in.

But his clenched hold on it relaxed when found it was not an attacker but a family bodyguard of the Fengs waiting outside with the same brocade box in his hand.

"President Feng has sent a letter note in the name of the Royal Queen!"
