Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Feng Shufen was feeling waves of comfort and satisfaction raising and falling in his heart. Without his knowledge, a calm amusing smile had already crept up his lips, remembering the look of the woman from the morning. Though he knew that he has got a good brain memory, he never expected his brain to remember each and every expression of her face this comprehensively.

He was in his deep trance when suddenly a knock at the door brought him back. When turned to look, it was his secretary, "President Feng, Ms. Ryan is here to greet you personally"

Earlier when he had settled all the guests in the Feng International's lounge area, the lady had herself stood up to present the request to meet the President. Since she was from the honorable guest team who has particularly come to sign the collaboration, Gao Fan could not bring himself to reject her request. That would have sounded really rude.

So at the end, he had led her way towards the President's office.

"Okay let her in", he said all indifferently that it almost surprised Gao Fan but then he realized this was the original behavior of his boss for everyone around him, leaving Ms. Li Xue to be an exception. Now looking back at his previous self, his secretary was sure that his boss did not replace him anywhere. He was the genuine one present in between them.

Nodding to his acceptance in accordance with the request, Gao Fan retreated back to send the lady inside. But before he could exit the room suddenly his President's words halted him in the mid of his steps. "Go and get a dress for Li Xue".

A dress for Ms. Li Xue!

There was some confusion but the secretary was wise to know when to raise his doubts and when to not. So without wording out his confusion, he exited the room taking the order.

Ryan was already out close to the door and has heard the man giving the order. Her thin dark brows got furrowed in confusion as she questioned inside her breath, 'Dress for Li Xue? Who is Li Xue?' Before she could ponder more on it, Gao Fan interrupted her "Ms. Ryaan, President Feng is inside. You can go ahead"

The lady smiled in gratitude and then taking her soft, beautiful graceful steps she walked inside. As she entered her eyes got locked at the man for whom she has come all the way here. He was still the same. The man who takes her breath away, just by appearing in front of her.

Though he treated her indifferently, yet the feelings she had in her heart for him never fazed. She believed he was the only one made for her and she was only his. Sooner or later he will accept that fact.

"Feng Shufen! Do I also have to take an appointment before visiting you in the office? We have been friends for almost 7 years now. Are you going to give me the same treatment as you give to others? Is that fine to treat me the same way?" she said suppressing her feelings under the mask of bubbly cheerfulness.

The man did not say anything, just lifted his head up and looked at the woman with a plain simple smile that made him look more distanced from her. "You have entered my office. What do you think?" His office has been a prohibited place for everyone. Apart from his secretary, Gao Fan, impatient younger sister, Feng Yi Lan and Director Qi Shuai, who was also his best friend no one has ever stepped in. So letting her in was enough appreciation he has given to their college friendship.

Hearing his words, the lady's cheeks get red. She was happy till he took her someone close. "With those words do you mean I am the only woman who has ever got into this room?" she asked, confirming her thoughts that were giving her tingly flutters in her stomach.

Without considering her thoughts, Feng Shufen simply shook his head making her eyes show a dull light of disappointment. "Yi Lan was also here and …."

Before he could complete his words, she deliberately interrupted with words that calmed her heart down. "You are such a tease. Of course Feng Yi Lan can come. She is not an outsider but your own younger sister?"

The man didn't bother to react to her words and went back to look at the files. Ryan was already too happy in her own bubble of thoughts. To her his indifference wasn't new so did not say anything rather accommodated herself in his cabin.

Taking his seat at the side couch, she took a magazine in her hand to flip it while stealing a few handsome glances of the man sitting in front of her.

After quite some time she said, "Hey, won't you ask why I am here?"

"Signing collaboration!", he stated, without any hint of liveliness in his tone as his eyes remained focused on the files.

The lady gave a childish pout at his words as she kept the magazine aside and stood up. Taking her gentle strides, she got around the desk, towards his back. She thought that he wasn't paying attention to her but the moment her arms were about to wrap around him, he said in a deep voice that instantly made her step back.

"Ryan you better don't try anything like that. I don't want anyone to misunderstand us."

"But no one is here. Who is going to misunderstand and again it's not like we have someone in our lives that we have to be responsible to explain things to them", she said not understanding why he has always been so aloof around her. Not that she wasn't beautiful. She has already got a thick book of compliments every year from her suitors, so she never had any doubts on her looks.

"You won't have one but I have got one in my life. So respect her feelings if you want to have any acquaintance with me or else …", his words were as clear as a crystal. No doubt can be raised.

Ryan felt her world shattering around her like it was some thin piece of glass with no durability. Her throat felt jammed like God has never gifted her any voice to use.

Not knowing how to react to this piece of news, she simply asked, "Who is she? Is she prettier than me? Won't you let us meet?" a wave of unreasonable possessiveness and bitterness raised in her heart making her lose all her senses.

"You will meet her soon. Now let's go, it's already getting late", he said without looking at her. Closing the files back he walked forward without waiting.

Who was the woman who could get his attention to an extent where he, himself was standing in her favor? Was she the one whose name she has heard before? Li Xue! Who is she? She thought, looking at the back of the man who has never hesitated in giving her a cold shoulder. Was he the same when he was with that woman?
