Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Back in Little Carnations,

"Here! Have this, Mr. Beelzebub. You will feel a lot better after this", Li Xue said as she extended a cup of freshly brewed chamomile for the man to sip in.

Feng Shufen stared at her with some meaning, before nodding and taking the cup in his hands. With just one sip of the nicely brewed tea, he felt his nerves loosening. He wasn't stunned to know that the woman had actually looked through him. She could read him in a way that no other could. It would not have been hard for her to learn his tiredness. 

Making a run out of the country, working there day and night, dealing with files, terms, and clauses – All of these were not something that tired him out but his fear for Li Xue and WeiWei's safety after hearing about Qi Shuai's accident was what caused him to burn out to the end. He could not dare think of such malicious things happening around them. If something like that ever happened, he would set the whole world on fire, without giving anyone any other chance. 

"Feeling better?" Li Xue asked when saw an expression of ease getting on the man's handsomely cold face. It was really a long time since she was seeing him back to ease like this. She knew that he was prone to work 24x7 and tire himself out with that, but still, his tiredness never came to reveal itself on his features up until now. And seeing him in such a situation this time stung her heart with discomfort. 

"Mhm!" The man replied softly, before looking around the house. He has never felt to miss this place this much before, no matter how long he used to travel around. But this time just after almost two weeks, he was feeling like he has been away from this house for more than a decade. "Did WeiWei trouble you too much while I was away?" He asked and to his question, Li Xue could not help but press her lips together. 

Did he really have to ask that? Behind him, he fabricated a little miniature of himself to look after her and he still dares to ask that. What was he really thinking while asking this question? Was he teasing her?

Her eyes got squinted scornfully as she puffed her cheeks just the slightest out to show her unpleasantness. "What do you think? I was very happy. And if you have forgotten then let me tell you, WeiWei has been with me always. Her devilishness or sweetness could never be a trouble for me." She said, without thinking much of her words but to her oblivion, her words had unknowingly dimmed someone's mood. 

The realization only struck her when to her words, the man didn't say any of his words, instead took another draggy sip from the cup. 

"What? Were you expecting something else?" She asked. 

Feng Shufen shook his head, keeping his reply wordless. 

Li Xue was stupefied at his response. For odd reasons, looking at him now was giving her a feeling like the man was on a menstrual cycle. Only if that was possible. But she was sure for some reason, the man's emotional state looked quite sensitive. 

Was there something more that she was unknown about? Something that was causing him to be like that? There seemed a possibility but that possibility doesn't seem easy to guess about. 

"Hey, Mr. Beelzebub! Don't you think there is something that you need to explain?" Li Xue suddenly asked, not forgetting the initials that she has kept restrained all this time. To cheer the man up, she needed to divert his attention to something else. If there has to be something then why not this? After all, she could not forget the scene of bees fluttering their wings around her pot of honey. 

Not like she was doubting him, for which she needed his explanation. She was just asking the man to soothe her a little because whether it was believable for Feng Yi Lan or not, but that day seeing her man sharing the screen with another woman, she was feeling an intense sour taste in her heart. 

Feng Shufen didn't quite understand at first but one look into her amber eyes gave away all the story in an instant. "To let the crowd of bees know that the pot of honey was exclusively taken by the queen of bear, I needed to show my face at the party. It was boring, so I left just after fifteen minutes". 

He said and to his words, Li Xue no longer knew whether to laugh or cry. Though it was fifteen minutes, does the man need to emphasize the word 'just' like that? Even though it was just fifteen minutes, in that short span the man had been efficient enough to stir the media of the whole world. And still was calling it just. In no way, she could imagine what would have happened if he would have decided to stay for more than that. 

But wait – in his words, wasn't there something wrong …

Realizing the wrong in his words, she stood up with her hands on her hips as she asked with a furrow of brows, "Hey, Mr. Beelzebub, from which angle do I look like a bear to you? I have been maintaining the diet so strictly, yet you are calling me a bear. Am I so ugly in your eyes now?" She asked with her brows tugged together and lips pressed in a pout., while she waited to hear his response.

But instead of receiving any response verbally, she was scooped in one swift move, getting enveloped in the man's arm in the next second as he positioned her comfortably over his lap. 

"Shufen …" She thought to ask him about his actions but just when she thought she could, the blazing pair of lips pressed over hers ferociously, restricting her chance to speak. 

Li Xue was startled with his action. Not because of his kiss, but because the things seemed different at the moment. Different in the sense like – Devil getting transformed as a beast instead. That as well like a flaming beast that was breaking all the boundaries set on him.
