Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

"Li Xue, are you sure that you don't want to hear anything about Zhang Xiaotong?" Feng Yi Lan asked as she walked Li Xue out of her apartment. It has been a long time since she last spent time like this with her friend. And for all this, no one else but his Devil brother was to be blamed.

Before he separated her from Li Xue by sending her away from the country. And now that she is back and her friend was also in the same city, he was again restricting her to meet Li Xue. Such an attention seeker he was! Want all her friend's attention to himself. Did he forget that she was the first one to find Li Xue as the treasure in this big world? Hmph!

"Focus more on your work. Don't always come to trouble your Sister – in – law like this. Be a little sensible or else the work might get tougher for you than before". She had heard him threaten her in his unique style last time they met and his words were still fresh ringing in her ears every day, without any skip.

Hmph! Such a tyrannical king he is! She snorted under her breath that came out like an inaudible murmur.

Li Xue turned around only to look at her friend's pressed face. She was already at the door and from here on she would not need her to accompany her out. Her brows scrunched a little when caught the expression Yi Lan's face. "What's with that expression, Yi Lan?" She asked, curling her lips a little from both of the sides.

Seeing her smile like that Yi Lan pouted more. "You favour my brother most, right?" she asked, clearly getting envious of her brother. Doesn't he already have everything and everyone on his beck and call? Why does he also want her to share her friend's love and attention with him? He was truly a greedy one.

Li Xue's smile deepened at his friend's rising insecurity. Shaking her head internally, she decided to be honest with her. "Is it that obvious on the surface? I thought I hid it well". She mused, suppressing tiny laughter within.

"Li Xueee! You …"

"Fine, fine! What I said was my honesty but you don't have to throw all those childish stomps and snorts for that. If I favour your brother the most, then I also love my Yi Lan the most. There is nothing for you to get insecure about. Before him, I have always known you" Li Xue said, easing the tantrums of her friend.

Feng Yi Lan pursed her lips. She knew with a daughter by her side for almost more than 5 years, her friend has gotten better and better at coaxing people. But still knowing that fact, she could not bring herself to refute her words. Because she knew no matter how much her friend favours her brother, she would never choose to neglect her. Otherwise, why else, she would come to visit her the very first time, she got her schedule free? It was definitely because she loves her more than her brother.

"I am not throwing any childish tantrum of insecurity, Li Xue. I am just being a little concerned for you. You shouldn't forget that my brother is a Devil. Though he is exceptionally sweet to you, it will never wipe out the coldness and cruelty from his nature. Always remember, even if fire attracts the moths the most, they should not forget that ultimately, those flames would just burn them alive"

Li Xue could only chuckle at Yi Lan's exaggerated expression. With those words she could clearly judge the level of childish insecurity, her friend was standing on. And seeing her like that, she was truly enjoying the fun. Who would not love to see the people giving them importance like this?

"I never knew that you were this good with idioms, Yi Lan!" She clapped her hands lightly as she continued, "But have you not heard, even after knowing that the flames of fire could burn them alive, the moths never restrain themselves from going towards it. So even if it's death, it is their fate to attend. No knowledge will restrict them from attaining it".

Li Xue said. Though she wanted to trigger Yi Lan a little more, what she said wasn't wrong. To her, Feng Shufen has truly become that fire in front of whom she was doomed to become a moth. But that's another thing where she could not be sure if the flame she has fallen for would burn her alive or would make her become the only exception in this world.

"Li Xue! I am being serious here", Yi Lan said out when felt her friend punning around with the words. "You can't take my brother that easy, neither Zhang Xiaotong. I am asking you again. Don't you want to know about her? Like her relationship with my brother?"

The woman thought for some time. Without a say, one of the main reasons for visiting Yi Lan has been asking about that woman. But after reaching here and thinking about it carefully, she was no longer liking the idea.

What's the use of giving an unknown woman any importance when Mr Beelzebub has already assured her there is nothing such? Weren't his words already enough?

She shook her head as she said, "No, there would be not a use of that. Even if given an opportunity, I find believing your brother as the most beneficial option at the time. He had never seemed to be a person to lie".

Hearing her say that, Feng Yi Lan chose to sigh to relieve her anxious nerves. Unfortunately, she also thinks the same. Though her brother was a Devil about whose tricks, she could not fathom, still, when it comes to lies, she was sure that her brother was not a weak one to choose the easiest brick to save his palace. He has always been very curt and deadly honest with his thoughts.

"But you know there have been lots and lots of crazy stories in our family" Yi Lan still added, not forgetting some pointers she had noted to tell her friend before.

Li Xue's brows quirked up a little as she asked, "Crazy stories about them?".

Feng Yi Lan immediately nodded. her expression getting all serious and concerned for her friend. Though however, she disapproved of her brother for her dearest friend, since they have gotten together, she could only choose to support them.

But just by her support, the Feng tree won't come in favour of Li Xue. They have already bent too much in the admiration of someone else's merit to cast their favour of any other. That's Zhang Xiaotong.
