Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

"Fine, let's not discuss your love story at this moment. Just tell me, have you told Sister – in – law about her birth identity?" Qi Shuai asked, staring at his friend all intently. He remembered what startling reality he has informed Feng Shufen about? 

Feng Shufen looked at his friend. His expressions, not giving away any responsive hints of positiveness to his words. "There is nothing so special to say," He said nonchalantly, keeping his expressions straight. Enough nonchalant that it could easily make paper believe that there is really not important to notify. 

"Huh? Nothing so special to say? Brother, if that is something not special then I don't know what else it can be". Qi Shuai retorted, with a 'you are unbelievable' expression.

"…" But even to his words and that expression, Shufen remained sobered, not backing out from his previous words. 

"Shufen, Xiao Xue has the blood of Royals running in her veins. Do you really think there is nothing special in it? Don't say that you are the hypocrite who just doesn't want to let the world know that she is an illegitimate royal child", Qi Shuai said, not believing what else there can be the reason behind his friend hiding the truth. 

Feng Shufen's brows furrowed. His cold eyes shot in the direction of his friend, intending to make him stop. But he knew all well until and unless his friend would come to understand the thing, he would not be stopping his words. After all, the cheerful demeanour that Qi Shuai always carried with himself was just a façade that he has kept making people believe in him more easily. 

"She has already taken herself to live without parents in this world. And letting her know this will only make her more uncomfortable about the things. So, there is no need to tell her anything. At this point of time, the Royals are not capable of bringing any comfort to her and discomfort will be something that I would never allow them to bring". 

Feng Shufen explained in the maximum words, he could afford. Apart from Li Xue, he has never been this wordy with anyone else and hearing him say so much today, Qi Shuai was all startled. To confirm the things, he blinked his eyes and asked again, "So we are not informing any of this to her?"

Feng Shufen shook his head, "Not needed. Let her life flow at its own pace" He said as his eyes sparkled slightly remembering the close bondage blossoming between the Royal Queen and Li Xue. Something that was telling him things will not remain the same at Royal's end for long. 

Qi Shuai gave an understanding nod and was about to ask something when suddenly saw the man rising from his seat. "Hey, where are you going? We still have two more topics to discuss. Are you leaving just like that?"

"Zhan Lei is not useless yet. Come up with more good means, if not then make him, a bait for the enemies", Feng Shufen said disinterestedly before adding, "Things about WeiWei, I believe in your capabilities, enough to know that you will come up with something substantial by next week". He said, giving slight friendly pats on his friend's shoulders, before passing a smile that meant nothing else but … 

"Aish … you can't pressurize me so much with the workloads. I still have responsibilities in your company to look after" Qi Shuai grumbled complaining but it was of no use because Feng Shufen has already made his way out from the cabin first and then from the underground base after.

At the same time, in the Feng Household Main Mansion, 

Feng Yu Hao remained seated in his place as Zhen Qinrou made his way to him with a tray of tea. Her expressions were soft and delicate, but behind that delicateness, a layer of severity was also present. 

"Yu Hao, are you still upset with me? I said whatever I was doing was according to the motherly instincts. You know I …" Setting the tray down, she tried to explain but her words were paused within her throat when the man turned to give her a 'no explanation needed' look. 

"Qinrou, though I have said that I am against that girl for Shufen, I have never allowed anyone to judge his decision. And you still decided to go against me" The old man shot out all serious and harshly, enough to make the woman flinch in her position. "Don't cover up your brazen acts in the name of motherly love and care". He added more making the woman go paler with each word. 

There are only two instances when a person gets paler. First instance when the truth gets too much for one to handle, while the other instance when your lies are seen through. Zhen Qinrou trembled, feeling the hit from the second one. 

"Y-Yu Hao, how can you say that? Am I that wrong to care for my son? I am sure if Sister Yuchun would have been here, she would have done the same" She said, breaking out in tears, hiding her frightened trembles behind her tears. 

But this time, even her cries didn't seem enough because even after seeing her breaking into the cries, the man showed no efforts to come forward to console her, instead of his eyes only turned colder and colder towards the things. 

Slamming his hand hard on the table, he almost made the tray of hot boiling tea stagger off, scalding his hand. "Qinrou, I will remind you again. No one gets to compare themselves to Yuchun. No one! And neither will I allow anyone to go against my son's decision." Feng Yu Hao said before getting up and making his way upstairs, not caring about his scalded hand. 

Behind Zhen Qinrou could only grit her teeth. Last night she had just put an excuse involving Li Xue when was caught by Yu Hao from behind. She thought that she would be saved until and unless she involves her in it, after all, she has seen Feng Yu Hao also being displeased with her being in Feng Shufen's life. But she never knew that instead of getting things favourable for herself, she would only be ruining things more. 

Now that the things had come to get messed this way, she would have to come up with another way. She could not let her husband be on her odds.
