Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Qi Shuai soon got himself back settled on the hospital bed, fearing to not look out of the picture. His eyes shot accusing glares at his friend as grudgingly looked at him still sitting on the couch. "Only if you have been fair earlier and have considered my weak state, we would not have to pretend like this". He said, whining with a slight pout. "Now you better don't blame me if my Sister-in-law finds this out".

Feng Shufen heard him say that but didn't bother to glance at him. Fitting the cuffs over his wrist properly, he briefly said with an expressionless face. "People should know their place before overstepping their boundaries".

At those words, Qi Shuai could not help but feel his jaws dropping to the floor. Was he serious?

Know their place before overstepping their boundaries! What was he taking him for?

"Buddy, I guess you are taking me wrong. Did you mistake me as a woman who is planning to be your wife's love rival? Please, I am not Zhang Xiaotong from your past. I just compared the position of your best friend and wife in your life. Do you have to be that unreasonable?" He tried to clear the doubt but instead got a scorching cold glare that almost choked him on his breath and regretted his words.

"I … I didn't mean that way. I was asking you to explain the deed you did against my sister-in-law abroad. Being like her brother I have the right to ask you at least". Qi Shuai hurriedly tried to hold back the reins of his life but was no longer sure how long he'll be fine. Since he has dared to tease the devil, he would be the one to take the blow sooner or later.

Feng Sufen's death glare didn't soften. He still looked at him like soon he would be out to take his life. So, to seek help in the context of this, his eyes in request darted to look at the secretary, who stood behind his friend.

His expression solicited, 'Dear, Gao Fan. Please come to my help. Deviate your President from the topic, before he scares my soul away.'

Gao Fan understood that expression well. He was not new to that look but he was certainly new with the way he got for him today. Giving a smile of sympathy to the Director, he interrupted Feng Shufen behind to say, "President Feng, if you give permission, I will go and check the thing on the end of our men. They would be waiting for your detailed instruction to handle that man". He said before bowing to leave, abandoning the Director the same way as he abandoned him in the past when Li Xue went missing.

Seeing his act of revenge, Qi Shuai was rendered speechless. Did he really deserve that? A part of him wanted to shake his head in denial, but a part of him also believed the saying, what goes around, comes round.

Knowing that there was no way out now, he just hung his head low, preparing to brace the Devil's wrath to come. But as if luck was on his side for the day, just when he thought that there was no hope for him, the delicate voice full of warmth hit his ears.

"Director Qi, you are already awake? How are you now?"

The moment that voice hit the man's ears, he cried out like he had found his way back home. Sister-in-law! Finally, you are here to save me. Again to become my savior!

His eyes glistened as he lifted his gaze to stare at Li Xue only to illusion a halo ring shining behind her head. Instantly, curling his lips in cheerfulness, he replied, "I am still feeling a little weak in the presence of Shufen, but now that you have come like a bright sun I feel like I will be fine slowly and slowly with your presence around". He said, his eyes briefly darting to look at Feng Yi Lan, who was also standing beside the woman. Her eyes were still a little swollen, evidencing the fright she had gone through the last night.

Looking at her like that gave a slight satisfaction to his heart, thinking there was still a time in the present where she cried for him? Isn't that fact alone a brightening hope for him to cherish? Of course, it was.

While the two people were trancing off in their thoughts, Li Xue's eyes turned to look at Feng Shufen but before catching the sight of his face, something else caught her gaze. The metallic shine on the table was too hard to miss. Her eyes got fixated while her brows frowned with some thought.

Black Eagle XIX! The most popular and stylish pistol the world has ever known but has rarely seen! Its presence itself at the scene was enough to tell the tales that were being tried to keep hidden.

So, what she has heard out from the nurses wasn't wrong. There has been a gunshot at the place that has almost scared half of the hospital out.

Li Xue's eyes turned up to look at Feng Shufen as his hands moved to take the gun in his arrest, carefully tucking it behind his waistband, as if its presence with him wasn't any unusual thing to witness.

Li Xue smiled much against Feng Shufen's thoughts as she turned again to look at Qi Shuai and ask. "It's good to hear that you are recovering, Director Qi. But could you tell us how all this happened? It was so sudden that we had least expected it. Weren't you in the city, looking after things at Feng Internationals?" She asked, taking the man off-guard. Her eyes sneaked a few meaningful glances towards Feng Shufen, checking his expressions.

Hearing that question come his way, Qi Shuai almost choked on his breath. His eyes darted to look at his friend as he awkwardly laughed and tried to come out less suspicious to the woman. "Haha … Xiao Xue, accidents happen when we least expect it, isn't it?" He said, trying to dodge the bullet, wishing from his stars to make the woman slide off the topic. But ] when did things come so easy and simple?

Li Xue's expression didn't waver, nor did her gaze. She still looked all firmly at Qi Shuai, waiting to hear him say the story behind the accident.
