Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Thinking that maybe Chen Yujian has come back, Qi Shuai opened the door with a flung, ready to chide the boy for leaving him hanging with such suspense. But just as his eyes caught the person standing out of his place, he was immediately speechless.

Was he having some dream?

"Brother Shuai! Long time, no see. How are you? Do you still remember me? I am your LanLan". The voice came, confirming that it wasn't a dream rather woman standing outside was for real.

"Yi Lan, what are you doing? Why are you here at this time? Do you need something? Is everything fine?" he asked, getting out from his awestruck trance and not understanding her sudden appearance. Seeing her standing out his door like this was something he has not expected to come.

Feng Yi Lan went silent for a moment. Her eyes blinked with some contemplation as if she was trying to remember the reason that brought her here. Giving some thought, she said, "Umm … I … I am …Do you not like me coming here, Brother Shuai! I was just missing you too much, so asked a friend to drop me here. Will you hate me now since I came here without informing you?" Her words came out in a very irregular tone that it almost sounded incoherent to the ears but the man was still too attentive to hear it all.

Something definitely did not seem right in her. Why was her voice coming out sloppily?

His brow furrowed as he looked at the woman whose footing on the floor was jiggling to and fro with some imbalance. Behaving like this, she was not looking in her sentience. Was she drinking before coming here? Qi Shuai thought as his eyes went to search for something behind her.

"Yi Lan, where is your car? Where were you before?" He asked but before the woman could even answer him, her footing lost the balance and she stumbled forward falling directly in the arms of the man. Her arms went to wrap around his strong back and Qi Shuai's arms came to wrap around her waist, while her head laid comfortably on his chest, just at the point where his heart resided.

"Brother Shuai didn't I already say that one friend dropped me off here because I asked him to. I have once promised him drinks so today I asked him to the club so that we can enjoy some leisure time together", Feng Yi Lan said, smiling sheepishly at him. Her cheeks having the hue of blush, perfectly giving the idea of the counts of glasses she must have downed earlier.

His jaws clenched in response as he thought how dangerous it would have been for her to be like this with some stranger. How could she believe anyone that easily? Couldn't she be a little more conscious of the people around?

"Was that Su Fai also there, when you were drinking?" He asked. His words came out with some suppressed anger, making the woman pull back from his arms so that she could get a better picture of the man's expressions.

When looked at him, Feng Yi Lan's lips rounded in a pout as the feelings overwhelmed her with tears. "Are you getting mad at me, Brother Qi? I didn't mean to upset you. Please don't get mad at me. If you don't want me then I will leave but don't get upset with me. Your LanLan doesn't like to see you angry because of her". She said, sloppily detaching herself from the man and then turning around to leave.

But just at the moment when she took her step away from him, she was hoisted up in the strong arms, almost making her yell in surprise.

"You are already in this condition. Where are you planning to go now and how? Did you even bring your car and driver?" Qi Shuai asked, looking down at the woman in his arms. For some reason, he was happy and content within his heart, seeing her come to him. Maybe he was happy because, in a situation like this, the woman decided to find her way to him and not someone else. "And if I get mad at you, then bear it because you deserve it. Didn't I already say before that you shouldn't drink around strangers, at least not until I or your boyfriend, Su Fai is around?"

Feng Yi Lan instantly giggled. "Hehe, Su Fai was not there, Brother Shuai. He is very busy these days, resolving the messed – up things for Li Xue. So, I went without him. Am I not a nice one?" She asked as her arms wrapped around his neck for support.

"Huh? Even if he is busy, he is still your boyfriend and should always take out some time to take you out" He said, huffing in his breath. "Now, let me take you inside. Or are you planning to stay here for the whole night long?"

Feng Yi Lan quickly shook her head and pressed herself more comfortably in his embrace. "Hehe … he is not my boyfriend, Brother Shuai. Don't be jealous now", she said with a little murmur before drooping her eyes close.

Qi Shuai's steps halted at her words. He was sure that he had heard something but wasn't sure if he had heard it right. His eyes stared at her, down in his arms as his words were ready to confirm it from her but just when he thought to ask her, she was already asleep.

Was that his illusion or did she really say that Su Fai was not her boyfriend?

"Yi Lan! Yi Lan!" he called, checking if she was truly asleep or not, but got no response in return. Sighing to himself, he took her inside the house, closing the door behind them. Taking her directly to his bedroom, he made her lie on the bed, before stroking the stray hair away from her face.

"You are still the same. Not able to handle alcohols too well. I so wish that I could change back the things as it were then, to see this cute side of yours I would not have to wish to see you getting drunk often" He said slowly, caressing her face as tenderly as one does to the kid.

"Umm … Brother Shuai your embrace is still the best comfy one. I love to sleep in it. Please!" She said opening her arms wide for him, immediately missing the comfortable warmth she was getting from before.

Qi Shuai looked at her and shook his head, "Don't be a child now. Sleep well, I will be outside", he murmured before standing up to leave. But just then, he was held back from behind as he heard her urge him again.

"Please, Brother Shuai!"

He turned to look back at her. Her pretty face looked more delicate in the light. How can he reject her words when she was asking it so lovingly? He never had the heart to do so, neither in the past nor in the present and never in the future.

"Fine, I will accept your whiplash tomorrow, early in the morning then. He said as he went to get inside the blanket from the other side. The moment he did, the koala came close to wrap herself around him for her dear life.

***

On the other side, at the same late hours of the night in Feng Household main mansion.

Soft vibrations of muted ringtones were heard as a woman's hands went to grab her phone from the bedside table. "Hello!" she answered the moment she got the phone in her head as if she knew well, who must be calling her at this late hour.

"Madam Feng!" the person greeted from the other side of the call and then continued before wasting another moment on it. "Young Miss has gone to a club with some of her friends in the evening and instead of returning back to her apartment, she has gone to Director Qi Shuai's place. They are still together. Are there any orders for me now?"

Zhen Qinrou's fingers instantly tightened around the phone. Some people really do not know their positions. They need to get it revised every now and then. Seems like now she has to again pay a visit to that young man's place, to let him again remember the promise he has given to her.

"Just continue to keep your eyes on her. You don't have to do anything" She ordered before disconnecting the call.
