Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

"Careful!" Feng Shufen warned in concern. His brows furrowed at the carelessness that the girl always carries with herself as an accessory to her personality. His eyes stared at her leg. Though there was no bleeding, he knew well that any reckless movement will bring pain. She has already been stubborn, driving the bike yesterday and now she is here acting all negligent to her wounds.

Keeping the little piece back on the bed, he quickly went to do the check on her wounds. "This is your second time. Is it that hard to take care of yourself?" He reprimanded in a relatively calmer voice. Though his words were showing his displeasure, his tone was too soothing to be called as a chiding of annoyance. "Now remove your hand and let me check". He said, pulling her hand that was gripping around the wound away.

But Li Xue resisted back, "No, no, it's okay. I am fine. There is nothing to check. I was careless before but I will take care of myself from now on. Please don't bother" She said, getting all in the urgent nerves. It was then when she realized for the first time that she was not wearing the same clothes from yesterday night rather she had already been changed into a soft dress that rested up to her knees. Her cheeks got red when the wild thoughts resumed in her head.

'Control, Li Xue … Control, even if something has happened between you and Mr Beelzebub, it is fairly normal. You are his girlfriend. Men tend to have desires for the woman so what if your boyfriend also had it for you. Be normal around him. Don't embarrass yourself like that', Li Xue chided herself in her heart as she tried her best to sober her erratically beating heartbeats.

Her eyes stared at the man whose grey ones were looking at her with some suspicion. "Really, I am fine. I …" She started to confirm her words from before but right then she heard someone sobbing at the side. Li Xue turned around only to find her daughter crying in the tears of pain.

All this while when she has been busy contemplating her pain, hesitation and embarrassment, her precious one was already filling her eyes with the pains on the behalf of her Mama. "Daddy Angel, is Mama hurt somewhere? Why is she crying in pain and even have got her eyes to hide the tears? Is my Mama alright, Daddy Angel?"

Li Xue was almost taken aback by her tears. Though she knew that her daughter was concerned for her, she never knew that just a little cry of her pain could bring out her tears. Especially when she knows that her daughter knows both the meaning and the importance of tears.

"WeiWei, sweetie, I am fine. There is nothing for you to cry" She said assuring her princess but with the passing time, the sobs of the little girl only worsened. "Baby, come, here check me yourself. I am all fine." The mother said trying her best to soothe her daughter's worried nerves but she was sure that her little one will not take the bait until she confirmed everything by herself.

Feng Shufen did not interrupt the mother – daughter's talk. At this time his concern has been the weird way in which the woman was behaving around him. He was sure he had seen something unusual in her attitude but he was just not sure what was it? He can get sure for the whole world but whenever something comes to her, she becomes a known mystery to him.

Since the little girl was still looking at her for his words, he just gave her a nod to come near and check. With some suppressed sobs, the little girl took her steps to her mother on the bed as she bent on her knees to get herself on the height of her Mama's sitting position.

Then cupping her face, in her little hands she said all softly, "Mama, you are not concealing your pains, right? You know Li Wei could take anything but not the pain of her mother. So, tell me rightly, you are not hurt anywhere, right?" She asked in the tone of maturity as if it was not a daughter asking about the well-being of her mother rather a mother looking after her kid.

  Li Xue just pressed her lips at her daughter's word as she stared into her eyes. "Of course, princess. I am not severely hurt anywhere for which my baby has to shed her precious tears. I just slipped on my way and got some scratches. And I am sure my baby has herself told me that scratches don't hurt much. So how can it hurt me?" Li Xue said. 

At her mother's words, WeiWei could only pout her lips, "Mama, you are getting smarter with tricks. You are trapping your angel with her own words".

The mother just shrugged off her shoulders before agreeing, "Of course, it's now time for Mama to learn something good from her princess."

"Mama, I am serious"

"Me too, sweetie! I am really fine", Li Xue added before pinching her daughter's cheeks lovingly.

The little girl could only sigh at her mother's antics and shook her head. "Uff ohh! I just stayed away from you for 3 days and already got yourself hurt. Do you know why I have to accompany you everywhere? So that I could protect my Mama dearest to the best" She paused her words.

Then bending forward a little pecked Li Xue's forehead and continued, "What would have my Mama done, if I would not have been around all these years. Mama, make sure to take me along from next time or if not me, take Daddy Angel. He would also protect you the same as me. Then neither you will slip on the floor nor you will get rashes on your neck." She said and then smiled looking at Feng Shufen. The man reciprocated the smile too.

But at the side, Li Xue was stiffened at her baby's word. Ignoring the gazes of the man on herself, she quickly said, "Okay fine! Now, it's already morning and we should get freshened up fast. WeiWei, go, get yourself ready. Mama will be ready soon!"

The little girl quickly nodded before running off to her room. Left alone with the man in the room, Li Xue shot a meek glance at him for once before, standing up from the bed, "I will also go and get freshen up first". She said before turning to walk in the direction of the closet but was stopped in her tracks when heard the man ask from behind.

"Do you have something to say?"
