Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Feng Yu Hao's brows got raised as he asked, "Invite me? For what?"

It has been years since he has last appeared in the eyes of the public. Since he has left the position of President in the Feng International, he has avoided giving any appearance in the media as well in any parties or events.

"Yes, President Feng! We have called to invite you to our school's annual event! Since we are already near the end of this year, as always, our students and teachers have taken the initiative to show the talents of the students. With you as our chief guest, they will definitely feel more confident in themselves. Furthermore, this time someone from your family will also be participating in the show, so I thought you would be interested to see her on the stage". The principal said, presenting all her reasons of invitation in a good way.

She has not forgotten to mention the participation of Li Wei in the event, thinking that the fact itself will make the man agree to accept the invitation on his own will. Weren't all grandparents always the same; eager to cherish and witness the moments in which their grandchildren are up on the stage working for success. Especially when the grandchild was as pretty and intelligent as the little Li Wei.

The old man on the other side was puzzled at the Principal's presented words. Someone from the Feng family was participating in the event? Was there any kid going to the school?

He was not sure. Might be some kid from a relative's family was participating in the event. The Feng family was not just a small five-membered family. Their kin was numbered more that he could remember, not like he cared to keep them remembered. Since he has given off his responsibility as the head of the family, he has also verbally led off the responsibility as the family head. Now since everything was looked after by Shufen, he did not care to remember any of them.

"I appreciate your invitation but I am no longer interested in all these social things. You can reach the current President Feng of Feng Internationals, after all, now it's him who has been looking after all these things. If not busy with any busy schedule then he will surely manage to make a small appearance", The old man said, giving a dry laugh.

The woman helplessly sighed on the other side of the call. She was about to accept his disagreement and disconnect the call when suddenly heard the man.

"Wait, don't disturb him. He might have some urgent work to attend. I am not sure but I will try to make some time for your event in my schedule" Feng Yu Hao said with a smile, taking into consideration that his son would be busy and would not be able to make it. His appearance, instead of his son, would be a help. Since these days, he does not work, he could lend his help to his son this way.

The lady was instantly overjoyed on the other side. "Thank you, Mr Feng! Your appearance for even 5 minutes will be great and honourable. We know that you have a busy schedule and I am really grateful that you thought to make some time for the event in it. We will soon send an official invitation to your place. Thank you once again". The Principal said, before politely disconnecting the call.

But right at that moment, a soft voice from the distance came, interrupting the thoughts of the old man. "Yu Hao, where are you planning to go now? I am telling you, without you here I am all alone at this big mansion. You better also think about me before planning another trip. I might not accept it this time".

The eyes of the man instantly turned to gaze at his wife, who was coming towards them with her soft steps. Seeing her brows frowning at her own presumed assumptions, he let out a chuckle as he said, "Who said that I am planning another trip. Of course not!"

"Then who were you promising a visit? Are you lying to me now?" Zhen Qinrou said, reaching her husband with few more strides then pulling a chair out from the table to take her seat. Her eyes for once gazed at the man dressed in formal with a smile to reciprocate his polite bow and then turned again to look at her husband. "Huh? Tell me where are you planning to visit now?"

"Why would I lie to you, RouRou? I was just on the call accepting the invitation to attend an annual event of a school. Since I almost remain free at home, I can go visit them and see the young talents there. After all, they are the future of tomorrow and some of them will also be recruiting in our organization. At that time of the future, I might not be there, but at this present scene, I could always go to see them". The old man said as he resumed sipping the tea again.

On the other side in Florida,

Finally, the sunlight seeped inside the room softly where the beauty was having her peaceful sleep. Her body perfectly draped with a blanket, only leaving her fair face at the show, while her hair all splayed on the pillow behind.

When Li Xue felt the warmth stroking her skin, her eyelashes fluttered a little with an attempt to open up but just when she tried, the bright light scrunched it close. The back of her hands flew to stop the rays as her lips formed a pout like a child, making the complaint.

'Did the morning have to come this early? I was still in a need of sleep. It was not easy to have such a relaxing sleep'. She said under her breath with some annoyance.

"Hey! Look, the Madam is waking up! Should we call the doctor already to do a check on her condition?"

"No, no, let's not disturb her for now. She might be just squirming in her sleep. Let her wake up properly, then we can call the doctor. Remember, the men had ordered us that in no way we should disturb her sleep".

"Okay then let's wait for her waking up!"

Soft whispers entered Li Xue's ears. She was confused by those voices. Every voice seemed unfamiliar to her.

Where was she now? The question struck her at the very first as she remembered her last encounter with Jing Wei Jin.

Her eyes shot open instantly to look around. But now there was no one around. Even not the people whose whispers she had heard earlier. Her eyes went to scan the place. The room was different, definitely not the base of that crazy friend.

Then did Mr Beelzebub take her away? The thought of positiveness in the answer relieved her heart but then the chances of negativity did not go amiss too.

Or was she shifted to some other place by the men of Jing Wei Jin?

She looked around again, in search of a familiar figure. If it was Shufen, who took her away then he should be near her, right? There would be no way in which he would leave her alone at an unfamiliar place like this.

"Shufen!" she called, but no familiar response was heard. "Mr Beelzebub!" she called again but still there was no response for a good moment of time. But then suddenly few sets of approaching footsteps were heard from the outside corridor and Li Xue's arms instantly moved to search for something for her defence.

If it was Jing Wei Jin, then she will let him know the worst this time. Couldn't he be a little more understandable? Why does he always have to be this protective? She was not a kid anymore who would need him to look after her. She could manage herself. 

The door of the room was softly pushed open, making Li Xue jump down the bed, taking her stance of defence. But the moment, she did, she winced loud in pain and dropped down on the floor with a loud thud.

"Sh*t!" She cursed in a deep breath. How could she forget that she was shot in her lower leg and has got stitches? This was bad. She chided herself as she saw fresh blood gushing out her leg.
