Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Zhang Xiotong was ready to walk forward to reach at the entrance door herself to greet the man in but just before she could take more of her steps in the direction, she was halted back by her assistant. 

"Ms. Zhang, sorry for the offense. But it won't be right for you to go there at the moment." Lillian said as she paced herself to catch after the lady. Her voice, giving the essential need of urgency. "I mean there will be media people rushing first, and in front of them with this attitude could be written against your elegance. Please hold back for some time" She said, trying to explain her reasons. 

At her words, Zhang Xiaotong paused displeasingly. Her displeasure made her fingers fist on her side, but her expression at the front not leaving the softness and composure it held from the start. "Lillian, I know you are here with me on my parent's orders but always keep in mind, I don't even take my parent's orders seriously. So don't dare to order me around". 

The assistant's head at once dropped down in helplessness. "Yes, Ms. Zhang, I will keep that in mind". 

"You better do it." She said once again, before changing her direction to walk to the different side. "I will not wait longer. Don't think to stop me next time". 

Soon the information of Feng Shufen coming to the celebration was announced and the media and reporters were the first ones to rush forward with their plans. Though they were aware of the rules and restrictions of interviewing Feng Shufen, still getting one word from Feng Shufen was enough temptation to make them the swarms of bees running in one direction. 

Though no traces of today's night will remain in the book of memories tomorrow, still the night will always remain the story of the truth that will last in the memories of the people witnessing it at the moment. 

  The door of the hall slid open as finally, Feng Shufen showed his entrance to everyone. Dressed in his usual dark suit, he doesn't seem to put any special thought while dressing for the party. Without any doubt like his every suit, the one he wore today was also priceless and custom made, instantly garnering everyone's attention towards his look. 

Gao Fan walked by his side, keeping his arms in front to restrict the media to reach too near to his boss. 

"Mr. Feng, you rarely show up to these types of celebratory events. Can you tell us what is so special about this day?" 

"President Feng, we have heard that this collab was not in your thoughts until last week. So, can you please reveal a little about the reason that made you agree to the collaboration?" 

The questions came one after the other. All focused on asking what was the reason behind the man's rare presence at the party, the unexpected decision behind the collab, and other business-related queries. They asked but received no answers in response. Everyone knew well that not all of their questions would be answered. Yet until they get at least one response from the man, they will feel quite fortunate in the situation. So, they waited.

"I promised someone to spend the New Year together" Feng Shufen simply said, answering the question he wanted to, before passing through as the crowd has never been capable of stopping him behind. 

The people were dumbfounded at those words. It took them some time to understand the context of the words. But when they realized, there was no man at their front to question. What remained with them was the gist of the story of Feng International's sudden collaboration. They were stunned at their realization.

It was just to fulfill the promise the man has made to someone. Who could be so special to make Feng Shufen this serious about the new year?

Back in Yi Lan's office, Feng Yi Lan bit her fingers in anxiety as her eyes fearfully looked at the live video continuing on her laptop. If she had known that she would be regretting her idea of seeing the live video this much, she would have never opened it in the first place. And in no way would have asked Li Xue to sit beside her to watch along. 

Right at the moment, the only wish she was having in the universe was either the live video ends soon or her laptop crashes down. The weather was already cold outside but even with the heater working inside, she could not help but feel the shiver passing down her spine again and again. 

'From when did my angel-like friend become the ice goddess like this? This must definitely be the influence of my cold Devil brother. She said to herself as her eyes turned to look at Li Xue, who was not looking anywhere else but the laptop. Though her composure looked all nonchalant and at ease on the surface, just sitting beside her, Feng Yi Lan knew the reality. The intensity that she held in her eyes right at the moment was something that could instantly bring the world to ruin. 

Yi Lan was simply not sure why her laptop was still working all well and properly. 

"Ah … Li Xue, don't think too much. I think this live video is false. Haha … otherwise, of all why would my brother … my cold unamiable brother would be attending that event. He has never been a person to be interested in these all things. There must be something. And about the promise, who else it could be. It must definitely be you. Haha …". Feng Yi Lan said with small laughter to cheer the air up when even after a long time, the camera didn't focus on someone else but her brother. 

"…" Li Xue didn't say anything, rather just stared at the laptop screen with her full interest. "It's okay Yi Lan. I am fine. Do I look like I am troubled?" She asked giving the smallest and the sweetest smile to her friend that held a lot of comprehension for her to understand. 

Feng Yi Lan gulped her nervousness down her throat as she shook her head. 

Who said you are in trouble, sweetheart? With you like this, I fear the whole world is in trouble? 

She thought to herself before turning back to look at the screen only to cough out blood the next second. Brother, could you please go a little easy with your little sister? What are you planning with that woman there?
