Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

The next day,

Zheng Wenting was working on his computer, but his thoughts were every now and then drifting towards Li Xue. A feeling was restlessness was waving in his heart, repeatedly thinking about the turn of events. "No, in no way would I let her risk the career like this. Why can't she just listen to me once?" He mumbled under his breath before smashing his hands over the keyboard in irritation. 

Huffing and puffing his chest up and down, he looked around to find his calm, but however he scanned around, his thoughts were just not able to forget the indifference the woman has used every time with him. 

If things ruined more, won't she blame him more? Wouldn't she turn more cold to him than she already is? Definitely, she would, and that was the only thing that was making him lose his calm and patience. He doesn't want to ruin the things more between them. But no matter whatever he was trying to improve, it was just further increasing the damage. 

His gaze darted to his side, where his phone was kept. His eyes showed the tinge of conflict as he picked the phone with some thought but then again kept it aside, thinking something inside. Then again, dismissing his thoughts, he brought his phone up to make the call. Still, before he could dial any number, the call entered from the other side, making him wrinkle his brows a little. 

"Hello, how is Sying now?" he asked straightforwardly, receiving the call. It was Wen Sying's manager, Da – Xia, whom he has asked to report her situation from time to time. He was feeling guilty for what he did with her, but the things happening with Li Xue were just not giving him time to look after her. 

"CEO, Ms. Wen is fine now. But her complexion still looks paler, and she is acting very quiet and dull. Earlier, when I wanted to call you to report, she stopped me saying not to bother you between work. So, I was only able to call you now, when she is already asleep". The manager reported in a soft tone, and Zheng Wenting readily believed that it might be because the woman was sleeping on the other side. 

His eyes dimmed a little as he looked at a distance before saying, "Take care of her properly and let me know if there is anything needed." Completing his words, he disconnected the call, feeling all stiff and suffocating inside. 

While on the other side, Wen Sying's eyes stared at Da – Xia as she asked, "What happened? Did he say anything?"

Da – Xia shook her head, showing her denial, before reporting, "Nope, Sying! He was very concerned for you. He asked me to take care of you and report him if you need something to happen. I feel like whatever CEO Fu said was not very likely. I mean, CEO Zheng likes you so much that in no way would he be equally considerate for any woman, especially for Li Xue because of whom your two relationships are going on this rough track". She said, and that was how Wen Sying had portrayed things for the whole world. She was a perfect, sweet, innocent girlfriend, while Zheng Wenting was the ideal doting boyfriend. 

At her words, Wen Sying's face turned a little sour, but then she quickly composed herself back before saying, "I know that Wenting is very loving and considerate to me, Da – Xia. But Li Xue is not the same. So, to keep her at her right place, we have to be careful. And as for CEO Fu's word, we can't take it lightly. To keep everything according to our plans, we would need to follow the things we have planned". 

She said, and her manager nodded in understanding before assuring her. "Don't worry, Sying. We will make sure that after the official meeting, Li Xue doesn't hope any way back to the industry, even if she has a way." As she said that, both the woman smiled at the things they have planned.

Li Xue pouted, standing at the study's door, looking inside at the man who was all concentrated in his file work. Seeing him like that, she could already make out how much busy he might be with his work to get this occupied even at home. But whenever she needed him, he always gets there, saying all his work is done. 

Such a liar! She mumbled inside her head before rewinding her steps back in the direction from where she has come. 

Feng Shufen remained seated at his place without noticing the minutest appearance of the lady. He was genuinely getting busy. Though the things he was doing were not crucial for his present, he was preparing for their future in advance. After all, he was not the person to work at the nook of the time. Instead, he was the one to sow the seeds in advance so that he could be all fearless for later.

The power and authority he had now was not something he has received in legacy, but they are something he has cultivated on his own, both with his brains and his capabilities. Though Feng Internationals always was a big name in the country, he took that name to the peak where no one could come up to surpass, neither the name of his organization nor his authority. 

After some time, Li Xue returned back to the study with a tray in her hands. She looked at the man again. He was still in the same pose and style, looking at some files with great interest. 'See him working now when in the morning he was ready to abandon all his work to spend time with me. Didn't he say that he has no special work then how come he was working like there is no tomorrow?' She again worded to herself before pursing her lips at him. 

Her eyes stared down to look at tea she has brought for him. She debated about the things for few minutes before taking herself into the room.
