Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

The next morning, Li Xue was whipping some cream but the distraction was all evident on her face.

"Madam, is there something?" Sister Margaret asked, suddenly snapping her back from the thoughts.

"Huh?" Li Xue failed to understand at first but when understood, she simply shook her head and said, "No, no, Sister Margaret, we are almost done. Just a few more whips and the cream will be all ready to be served over the platter".

As she said, Sister Margaret's eyes went to look at the bowl and her expressions became complicated, "But Madam, the cream has already been whipped and if you whip it more the creamy texture will be lost". 

"Oh", Li Xue's lips pulled into an o-shape as she realized how much distracted she had gotten. "Thank you, Sister Margaret. I think today I am just a little distracted. Got a lot to do. Will you please help me serve the breakfast onto the plates? Meanwhile, I will go and get ready first."

The old lady readily agreed. And Li Xue's fingers quickly moved to untie her apron. She was about to move out when suddenly halted to turn to the lady and ask, "Sister Margaret ..."

"Yes, Madam!" The old lady instantly responded.

Li Xue only stared at her without hastening any words out. Her eyes and thoughts, busy thinking something at the back of her head. After a good pause of time, her lips curled to give a plain, nonchalant smile while shaking her head in nothing. "Oh, that's nothing. I guess I just need to go and get ready first."

Some things just do not need the confirmations! Unwavering beliefs could suffice!

Sister Margaret nodded, reciprocating with a smile. Though she knew that the lady had something in her thoughts, she does not hold the position to probe her.

When Li Xue got upstairs, Li Xue directly strolled inside Feng Shufen's rooms. The door wasn't locked so she did not find any need to knock at it. But she never knew that it would become a regret for her later.

Her attention drew to look into a certain direction when her senses caught the whiff of the refreshing, minty fragrance. Her heels turned subconsciously to find what was so enticing in that fragrance but her jaws dropped the moment her eyes came to realize its vision.

Can anything be more tempting than seeing your boyfriend … your beloved half-naked? Li Xue did not know the answer before but after today, there would be no way she would ever be able to forget it.

Everything in her vision was getting blurred and blurred except the man wrapped in a dark towel on his waist. His perfect firm toned muscles of his chest on show. Little droplets dripping of water slowly and slowly from his neck to his toned abs and then sinfully escaping its way to the lower region about which the woman could never fathom to imagine.

How can she remain innocent when the Devil in her life was so perfectly handsome to ruin?

Was this the desire about which women always dream for? This was not her first time looking at a man like this. Not to forget she was a model before and has seen many handsome men in this form. But none has ever stirred her system in the way Mr Beelzebub was doing.

Something beneath her stomach clenched at the ideas of him like this in every different situation around her. But when she realized how dirty her mind was imagining she chided herself internally but still had no heart to turn her eyes away from him.

"So? Did you like what you are seeing?" Feng Shufen asked, with a burst of light laughter.

"Which woman would not like it?" Li Xue answered, without realizing her own words. She was too absorbed in her own vision. Her eyes busy checking out every feature of him as if remembering it deeply in her memories.

"Your words … I did not understand. Are you asking me to go and ask the same question to every woman?" He asked again, clearly intending to get on her nerves of jealousy.

And as expected, Li Xue was instantly snapped back as her eyes peered at his teasing smirk. Knowing exactly what he was wanting, she said, "Sure, if you don't believe me then you can go and try asking others too."

The man raised his brows as he asked for confirmation. "Are you sure?"

"Mmm – Hmm" The woman affirmed at first but then leisurely added. "You can go and ask them for sure. But later don't blame me if piles of eyeballs get collected along your way because I am sure I will not hesitate in gouging their eyes out." She said dangerously as she turned to walk away.

The man let out a loud chuckle at her words. Not because he liked the threat, she was giving to him but for the show of jealousy, she was showing for him. As for the threat, he was sure that those are just out from her angry nerves that she was not being able to calm at his tease.

"Fine, I will keep my lawyers ready to bail you out from the offences. You would not have to worry about it?" He said, looking at her back as she was about to slide open the door of the closet.

 What? Li Xue was taken aback with his offer. This was not the offer she thought to get? What was this man trying her to make? A ruthless criminal, who has fear of none!

She turned on her heels to ask him. "Mr Beelzebub are you telling me that I would have your support even if I murder someone tomorrow?".

The man shook his head in denial and Li Xue really thought that she had just over – read the doting – ness of the man. But she was rendered speechless when she came to hear his explanation.

"No, my word did not intend that meaning. It just meant that even if you behead the whole country tomorrow, no person will have the power to sue my lady in the court. That's the insurance I provide you."

Though his words had beaten around the bush, Li Xue understood his suggestions the best. Looking at him she simply asked, "When did you come to know about it?"
