Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Wen Sying's eyes became horrified as her gaze snapped to look at the door from where the voice has come. "W – Wenting, this was not what you heard. Let me explain, I …" She lacked the words, no longer knowing what excuse she could make at the moment. She has none ready and none of her thoughts was making a reliable one.

"Wenting, I … I …" She started again but the result was still the same. It felt like she was stuttering because of guilt when in reality she was actually not finding any right word to react. "L – Let me explain it. It's not as you think". 

Zheng Wenting face muscles were clenched tight. His eyes, looking stormy to an extent where he could easily ruin everything in front of him. "You did that or did you not?" he spatted out without paying heed to any request presented to him.

At that storm-filled words of the man, Wen Sying immediately lost her confidence. Sweat beads appeared on her forehead as she dumbly stared at his face. Her palms became clammy, making her lose more of her strength.

"CEO Zheng, you must have made a mistake. We were …" From the side, Fu Guang tried but he was instantly silenced when felt the warning gaze of the man on himself. 

"After seeing you at the conference, CEO Fu, I doubt I would even have any misunderstanding regarding you. You went against my words and ruined things for the company which easily give me the reason to kick you out of your position. I am just holding back for the time being because any action from me right now will damage things for Li Xue and also our reputation. So, you better not cherish these few days left for you, CEO Fu."

"CEO Zheng, I … I was just …" Fu Guang was instantly panicked but before he could put forward any defence for himself, he was interrupted with the loud and harsh request of the man. 

"You can now leave, CEO Fu". 

Having nothing else left to say at the situation, he took his steps out of the room. Though he knew that he would never be getting kicked out from his position and the company, with his shares and support there, still he could neither take Li Xue's threat easily nor the words of Zheng Wenting. 

Da – Xia who was also standing at the corner did not waste any moment there and also left the room immediately. She was already fearful of seeing the man in such fury, there would be no way where she would be able to withstand more of the torture there. 

Once everyone left, Zheng Wenting looked back at Sying and asked, "Sying, I will ask you again. Was that all your plan? Did you do everything just to keep Li Xue out of the industry?" His voice coming out venomously, making the woman flinch from her core. 

Wen Sying trembled at his voice and question. She opened her mouth to speak out something but under his strict gaze, she was unable to form any sense. "Wenting, I was …"

Before she could even complete her words, Zheng Wenting interrupted her with his words. "Damn, how was I so blind. How could I not see this? I could never believe that you could do something like this with Li Xue, Sying. How could you? Weren't you the city's purest and kindest soul for whom I have fallen?" 

"W – Wenting, I just wanted you to be with me. I was scared. I didn't want to lose you. Please try to understand my side too."

Tears streamed in Sying's eyes at once as if that was her mode to ease things. Like with those tears, she would once again make the man believe her motives and then get his forgiveness. But all her illusions broke like the shards of glasses when she realized that for the first time in her life the man was not getting any affected by her frail and fragile look, rather was staying all firm and indifferent to it. 

How was that even possible? She was sure that Zheng Wenting was a man who has always protected a woman, specifically her, in her weakest state. 

"I don't think after knowing this side of yours, things would be even possible between us". The man simply said, shaking his head. His eyes holding sympathetic pity for the woman.

"Wenting! don't say that." 

Zheng Wenting looked at her for a moment before shrugging his shoulders back. "I don't know, Sying. I am really disappointed in you." Saying, he gave a last glance at her before turning on his heels and leaving at once. 

Wen Sying could only grit her teeth looking at his disappearing back. Her fingers tightly clutching onto the bedsheet to hold herself back from breaking out. When almost the silhouette was out of sight, Da – Xia came running in with a face full of worry. 

"Sying, are you fine? Was CEO Zheng very harsh to you?" She asked, at once getting to the woman's side to hold her by her shoulders. 

But instead of giving her any reply, the woman just furiously lifted the blanket from her to throw it down on the floor in aggression. "I can't lose Wenting. I can't lose anything. I would never lose to Li Xue. Never! Never! Never!"

While back in the car, soon the air was calmly silent. The soft quietude of the atmosphere itself was the mark that defined, the princess was in her sleep. 

Qi Shuai was still sitting at the front with Du Fan driving. His eyes would every now and then turn to look at the rear mirror at the front to see the people sitting at the back. They looked like a perfect family of three but something was there that he was still not able to understand. 

How could they be in such tranquillity? As if there can never be something that could provoke their relationship to the worst. Was it because there was a lack of love rivals in their lives? Or have they become too much at ease that no one could ever replace them in each other's life? He doubted his thoughts the more he looked at them.

"Director Qi, do you have something to ask?" Li Xue suddenly snapped the man out from his thoughts. She had not missed the doubtful gazes he was giving from the front.
