Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Jing Wei Jin's fingers clenched on the two glasses he was holding in his hands. Though there was still a smile over his lips, slowly and slowly paleness was creeping up upon his face as if something that he had feared in his life was on its edge of happening. 

He stared at Li Xue, indecisive about the things he should tell. "Li Xue, I have kept you and WeiWei away from these things. Do you really have to involve yourself in this?" Feeling almost defeated, he said, turning his back again towards her with the fear that if remained facing her for longer, things would get revealed sooner than was expected. 

"Heh! Kept me and WeiWei away? Are you sure of that?" Li Xue gave out a chuckle when heard him avoiding her question with those words. "I might believe you, Wei Jin but that never means that I have blind trust in you. Do you really think I don't know why you brought WeiWei here? Do you really think I don't know why you have called me here?" 

She asked and at her doubting question, Jing Wei Jin also turned to look at her with perplexion. His brows knitted together while his gaze clouded, unable to see the distrust the woman was holding now on her expression. 

"You have kept Li Wei here so that later you can ask Shufen to bring Pan Hong to you, isn't it?" 

"…" 

"You have called to inform me after because …" 

"So that I could also trick you here as well? And then keeping both of you hostage here, I can call him to build more pressure? Are you referring to something like that?" Before Li Xue could complete, Jing Wei Jin completed her words. His eyes sent glares at the woman, asking her how she could even think of something like that about him. "Do you really think of me like that?"

Li Xue stared at him before shrugging her shoulders in lack of knowledge. "You are keeping things to yourself. I can't be sure." 

Jing Wei Jin smiled at her reason before nodding. "Exactly, I need to explain things to you so that you can understand me. I never knew you were so biased, darling. But then again even being biased, you know me best. That was my plan exactly. So now that you are here, allow me to keep you hostage." He said with a snicker and looking at him like that Li Xue felt helpless. 

Of course, she knew the man a lot to know that he would never stoop so low. That was the reason why at this time she neither doubted Feng Shufen nor him. 

She has purposely said those things to Shufen so that he doesn't follow her and give up on the suspect of his accident for the sake of WeiWei. She has deliberately come alone here thinking that she might resolve the things on her own. But she never expected that Jing Wein Jin would also be so stubborn as to not reveal anything to her. 

Sighing with disappointment, at last, she could only say, "Fine, if that's so then do as your wish. But let me tell you, even if you keep me hostage here, I would not allow you to threaten Shufen using us".

At her words, Jing Wei Jin could not help himself from laughing aloud, making Li Xue furrow her brows at his attitude. 

"Haha … You do know me very well. But I am doubtful, do you equally know him?" He asked, coming closer to look at her. Bringing his face a little down, parallel to her face, he stared into her eyes, raising a brow of tease. 

Li Xue's brows furrowed at his words. "What do you mean?" 

The man smiled before swinging his head with some playfulness. "Given to my knowledge of you, to come here after knowing everything, you must have deliberately weaved a lie of your misunderstanding. You must have created a sequence where you have purposely shoved him away from you and Li Wei. So that later, he wouldn't mind coming here for your two rescue."

"…" Li Xue was not surprised. That was her plan the moment she realized the familiar name of Jing Shaoqing from Qi Shuai. Though she has never met the young brother of Wei Jin before, seeing so many familiarities around, she could vaguely understand the things. 

"But Li Xue, were you really oblivious of Feng Shufen's keen eyes? Do you really think that he wouldn't have been able to read your mind and your faintest expressions of pain that you must be holding all this while? Now looking at your underestimation, I really want to ask how well exactly he hid his real self from you?" Jing Wei Jin said, laughing mildly shaking his head. 

Though he has an envious side for the man in his heart, he would still never stop himself from saying that Feng Shufen was a person worth to be admired for his ways. Be it for his all-season calm demeanor or ways of handling things in the gentle as well as ruthless way, he was commendable in almost everything. 

"Jing Wei Jin, don't talk absurdly. Give me WeiWei back. I need to get back home with her". Li Xue spoke up with a crucial furrow of brows. 

Earlier in haste, she had not thought thoroughly about it but now thinking, she was finding the man's words more and more reasonable. Feng Shufen has known her better than she has known herself. How would he have not seen through her? He might definitely have, but still, he has allowed her everything. That only meant one simple thing that …

"What? Want to leave me so soon? Since you have already thought of being a petty kidnapper, why not keep it the same until he arrives? Let him come here first. I will break your delusion of overestimation on yourself and also, I am sure he must have brought the one I am thinking with him as well. Let me not miss the chance, otherwise, hearing all your accusations will go to waste". 

Jing Wei Jin said playfully before gesturing to her to take a seat. "Please, have a seat till then. I won't like to look like a cruel abductor in the eyes of you and the little one. After all, you know how much I love both of you in this life". He added with an innocent smile that only made Li Xue go wordless. 

"Jing Wei Jin …" 

"There is no use of saying more, dear," He said again before turning to check the time on the clock. "Given the time since you arrived here, by now I am sure he must have already entered my reign. Let's see what surprise he has got for me this time". 

Jing Wei Jin spoke with a smirk and right at the moment, the screeching voice of the cars was heard halting nearby, calling the chaos from all sides. 

Understanding well those sudden noises, his eyes excitedly gestured Li Xue to notice as well. "As I said, he is here.. Let's wait for the new yet interesting show to unfold".
