Novel Full Chapter 769 - Cross Several Worlds.
The new morning brought brightness and the warmth of the New Year. The birds chirped to welcome it wholeheartedly while the breeze also blew warmly with the sweet scents of the flowers, marking the official start of spring.
In the morning when Li Xue woke, she found herself still sleeping on the hammock bed swing in the garden. There were few trees behind their heads, and that's why even when the sun was brighter in the sky, their sleep wasn't disrupted. Neither of the maids came out to disturb them.
Li Xue sighed knowing that she had unknowingly started the day late. But who could blame, last night was long and she only fell asleep after enjoying a long hour of fireworks at midnight. Her eyes darted to look at the two people on her other side. They were all asleep peacefully.
Though she doesn't have a heart to wake them up, looking at the sun getting brighter and brighter she could only decide otherwise. Bending to her one side, she slowly caressed the head of her little, before waking her up lovingly, "Sweetie, it's already morning. Come on, rise and shine!" She whispered in order to not wake up the man first but her daughter, and as expected just after her words, the little girl rubbed her eyes to slowly flutter open her eyes.
"Good morning, Mama! WeiWei will rise and shine!" she said while rubbing her eyes to wipe away the sleepiness and then looked around the brightness of the morning. Realizing something, she at once reverted her gaze back at her mother and wished with a smile, "Mama it's a new year morning. Happy New Year!"
Li Xue smiled and nodded, "Mhm. Happy New Year, sweetie! Now, come on, get up. It's already late and you need to freshen up to start the day".
Little Li Wei nodded but didn't wake up straight away, instead turned around to her side where Feng Shufen was lying, before climbing over him slightly to peck his cheeks. "Good morning and Happy New Year, Daddy Angel"
Feng Shufen was pretending to be asleep all the time, and also slowly opened his eyes. "Good morning and Happy New Year". He reciprocated as well, only to bring a dazzling smile over the already shining expression of the little girl.
Little Li Wei smiled as she sat up to exchange looks with her parents. "Mama, Daddy Angel, it's a New Year today. Can we go to visit Aunt Yi Lan and Uncle Cutie in the hospital? They will also enjoy themselves with us there, otherwise, they will be all alone". The little girl said, giving her appropriate thought to it. These were her plans for yesterday itself but getting all busy with her White Ears, she has almost forgotten it. It only struck her thought now.
Li Xue knew the thoughts of her daughter. But she was kind of against it, given that at the moment Feng Yi Lan and Director Qi were together which was much needed for their relationship. She was about to reject the idea but before she could Feng Shufen accepted it straight away.
"Okay, we will go there after breakfast." He said and Little Li Wei was immediately happy.
"Yay! Then WeiWei will go and freshen up first" She said before jumping off to sprint away inside the house.
Behind her, Li Xue could only purse her lips and look at Feng Shufen as if accusing him of something.
"What happened? Do you have any complaints?" Feng Shufen asked when saw the expression of the woman lingering on himself. Slowly getting up to straighten up, he waited to hear her.
"Director Qi and Feng Yi Lan's relationship needs some alone time. Luckily they were getting it in the hospital. But now we will just go and interrupt them. Why are we doing this?" Li Xue said. Her eyes, disagreeing with the idea.
Feng Shufen nonchalantly said, "Because WeiWei wants to spend her New Year with them". He replied casually as if that reason was well and enough to explain his agreement to the plans.
Hearing him say so casually, Li Xue could just press her lips together. "Mr. Beelzebub!" She called, her eyes showing how serious she was at the moment, especially in regard to that one topic that included her dearest friend's love and relationship.
Feng Shufen was entertained finding her getting all serious early in the morning. Smiling slightly at it, he said, "Even if left alone for the centuries, nothing will come to change between them. Some people just don't have any experience with the things, will need others to help them out"
He said and Li Xue understood his intentions. But then a smile cover her lips as she bent forward, close to his face to ask, "You are criticizing other's experience, what about yours?" Her words shot out as her gentle breaths brushed over his skin, making him feel something different in his muscles.
Though nothing came evident to his expressions, Li Xue could see with the depth of his eyes how she affected him. She suppressed a chuckle at the realization and was about to pull away thinking her work to be done when felt the man's arms wrapping around her waist, pressing her more to himself.
"Mr. Beelzebub …"
"With you around, I never needed any experience to know what to do next. I had just kept an aim to bring you by my side by your own will, even if that means I need to cross several worlds to do so". He said. His voice came very slow and deep in the woman's ears, making her stomach clenched to hold the fluttering butterflies inside.

While on the other side, in the Royal Palace of Chiboa,
Several gifts came prepared from several families to greet the royals for the New Year. There were piles accumulated in the room which was continuously getting cleared one after the other by the servants on the instructions of the butler. Every present was priceless, could be valued in millions. But none concerned the people who they are presented to. Like those values didn't have the capability to soothe their interest.
"Clear this up fast and make a list of these presents to keep in records." The old butler ordered as the servants at the front did their work.
At this moment a guard entered with a few people behind them. "Mr. Cao!" He greeted making the aged butler turn his attention to him.
"These are people coming from the East City of Chiboa. Prince Su Ce has sent this gift to personally hand to the queen, saying that it is something personally picked by him and is of Her Highness's liking". The guard explained and the aged butler only stared at the large velvet tray with a frown.
