Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Feng Shufen's brows instantly got raised as he heard the woman. Turning back to look at her, he asked, maintaining his arched brows of amusement, "You came here for me?"

Li Xue squinted her eyes at him and pursed more of her lips together. "Or what do you think? I am quite a busy mother. I don't have strengths to go to such lengths until and unless it is my closed family involved in it. And for all this, you are also to be blamed. You left me alone there just because we had a small misunderstanding. I truly wanted to be upset with you for that, but at the end …" She paused, not intending to complete her words.

When Jing Wei Jin threatened her to come to Caracas, Venezuela, she decided to accept it but that was not because of the threat he has given to her. But because he heard him say that Feng Shufen was there.

For the whole week, she had been struggling to find the whereabouts of the man, thinking that this time maybe her rash words had crossed the extent of his patience. That, maybe she has been too insensitive to him. She thought, reaching to Venezuela she would find him and coax him back. But little did she expect the things to turn out this way. She never knew before she could even set out to reach him, her Mr Beelzebub would already be there to take her away.

"I was not upset with you. I was …" the man suddenly started but was instantly silenced with a snapping rebuke.

"Dare to lie to me and I will instantly leave you here alone, the same way you did to me", she threatened, ready to jump out of the bed again. Did he really think that she would believe him? If he had not been upset, why would he not tell her about his departure before leaving the country like this? Why would he not call her even a time to let her know about his whereabouts? He must definitely be upset and just lying now to mend things with her.

Feng Shufen looked at her, his eyes travelled to gaze at her foot that was ready to set down on the floor. This woman was really not scared of the pain. Her stubbornness was definitely the most dominant antics of her personality.

"I was not upset with you. I have to leave the country immediately because there were some urgent matters to attend to and you were at work, so I asked Gao Fan to inform Sister Margaret instead. And about the calls later … The place I was staying has restricted the network transmission to provide some utmost safety and security. So, it was not to avoid you rather keep the people around me safe and secured. If you still don't believe me, I can help you ask Gao Fan once. Might be then you will be able to believe". He said, giving a slight shrug of the shoulders in nonchalance.

Li Xue looked at him. Though his words were enough to satisfy her curiosity, she still was not an easy girlfriend to back down. Pressing her lips together, she nodded before saying, "I don't care about it now, since it's already late for you to be sorry for giving me wrong hints and making me worry." She said with a slight hint of arrogance in her voice at the start but as she proceeded further, her voice contained much of the tone of the compensation. "But I will not hesitate in letting you feel how sorry I was that day after you left. My intention has never been to hurt your care and feelings. I was just …"

Her words paused again at the wrong note, this time because she wasn't sure of the exact word of feeling that made her like that the other day. But just when she paused the man completed the sentence for her. 

"Fearful of the past!" He said, making Li Xue almost go stunned. She stared at him for a second before blinking away her awestruck trance.

Nodding, she accepted with a plain forced smile of self – mockery on her expressions. "Yes! Seems like you already knew it. I was scared of making you feel that I am getting dependent on you. I fear that sooner or later I will become a burden for you and you will get fed up with handling me at the time I will need you the most."

Li Xue said and she was no wrong. That was what her previous experience has taught her with Zheng Wenting. Though it was not like she could even think to compare Feng Shufen with him, it was more like she was still not comfortable giving away her past. Call it her fear or her trauma but it wasn't any easy for her to forget everything.

Feng Shufen knew her already. He understands her too well to know that. Though he was good to her, she will still need time and chances to adjust, given the experience she had in the past.

Walking his way all slowly to her he said, "Of course I knew it all this time. I knew you the most in this world to read your heart all well. I know your past has been a terror for you but your present and future will never have any hints of it." He completed patting her head lightly with love and adoration.

Li Xue smiled in reciprocation. She never had any doubt in him, rather it was her who was lacking this relationship.

Just when they were sharing such a sweet moment, a call rang from the side, snapping them back to reality.

"Umm, I think you should go now and change your bathrobe. I would no longer be able to take your tease. I have to take the call" She said, sighing with a deep breath. His minty fresh fragrance, already giving her a strong temptation.

The man nodded with a chuckle as he moved back to the washroom to get changed, while Li Xue picked up the call only to hear the man's urgency on the other side. "Li Xue, where are you? Why am I not able to find you in the city? Even Feng Yi Lan is not at her place".
