Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Walking up to Feng Shufen, Li Xue placed his phone on the table in front of him, before turning to take his hand into hers.

"Just give me a moment, Sister Xinyi. I will take the spare phone to check." She said on the call before tugging on the hand of Shufen to make his finger press on the fingerprint sensor.

Feng Shufen was working on the laptop and Li Xue did that, his brows of amusement got raised at her but the woman ignored it like her action was not something uncasual.

Just after the finger was pressed, the phone got unlocked and without giving any restriction to her attitude, Li Xue fiddled into his phone. While Feng Shufen just looked at her, leaning his head a little forward on the support of his hand. Seeing her so unrestrictive around him kind of makes him feel honored.

Soon getting on social sites, Li Xue understood what Lin Xinyi was talking about. The internet was again storming with her name but this time she was sharing the main content of the news with someone else.

"Ohh fish! Sister Xinyi, I almost forgot about this. I never knew that this would come over the internet as I have managed to escape from their eyes at the right time. They were able to capture me".

Li Xue said as she fidgeted through the news online one after the other. There were no negative comments on the posts but most of them were referring to people's curiosity. The curiosity that was not just trained on her but more than her, it was trained on the people that have come to save her yesterday. 

She had not noticed them well yesterday. But now seeing them in the picture she feels like she was the dumbhead to ignore it. How did she even think that such elite-looking men will go unnoticed by the people outside? Especially, when the men were looking like this! So handsome and dashing in the routine black outfit that seemed to be tailor-made for them.

Li Xue bit over her lower lip as she shook her head, regretting her underestimation. "Sister Xinyi, believe me, I didn't think they would get captured on the camera. I was struggling to escape so it …"

"Those pictures weren't captured by the reporters, Li Xue. The first source image was uploaded by some common netizens with others following the suit." Lin Xinyi said and on the other side of the call, Li Xue could clearly imagine her massaging the brows for relief.

Thinking of that her lips got pursed, feeling the guilt of causing trouble in her heart. "I am sorry, Sister Xinyi. There was an …"

"It's okay, Li Xue. I know there must be a cause behind your carelessness, otherwise, you are not always like this. About news trending online, those are just some curious netizens, who got charmed by the people surrounding you. Don't worry, their infatuation will die down soon in a few days. Furthermore, there isn't any issue; all the comments are positive discussions about you and your background." Lin Xinyi explained, soothing the culpability, she knew the girl was feeling inside.

Li Xue's lips curled up. "Thank you, Sister Xinyi. I will be careful the next time" She said but her words halted when heard the woman interrupting her with a cough.

"Ahem! Li Xue, but can I ask you who those men were? I mean as the few comments are saying online. Those men were truly looking like people that are out of the league for general people like us". The manager asked and hearing her ask such gossipy questions, Li Xue could only feel the level of curiosity the woman might be feeling inside her heart.

Because as far as she has understood Lin Xinyi, Li Xue was sure that she wasn't the person to ask such personal questions until and unless it gets related to her profession.

Since it took so much of her strength to ask the question, how could Li Xue not answer it then? Smiling on her side, she replied with honesty. "Those men were the people appointed by my boyfriend. So you can say that it was the team sent by him for my rescue at that moment."

"Your boyfriend?" Lin Xinyi asked to confirm and Li Xue hummed in response, while her eyes turned to look at the man, whose eyes were already at her for quite some time now.

"So you were with your boyfriend yesterday?" The manager asked more.

And Li Xue hummed at first but then shaking her head denied, "No, no, Sister Xinyi. I went alone but when that crowd of reporters broke, my boyfriend came to take me away. He wasn't there with me all the time". She corrected anxiously thinking that if not present the facts properly, Lin Xinyi might take Feng Shufen to be a careless boyfriend who doesn't know the risk of his girlfriend's career. 

But her explanation only pricked Lin Xinyi's nerves of curiosity. She didn't want to ask personal questions to Li Xue. But given her career, she just wanted her to be a little careful. "Take you away? Are you with him this early in the morning?"

"Ahh, that Sister Xinyi. I am living with him at his place. Don't worry, the area is quite suitable, amid the forest and far away from the eyes of the paparazzi. This will not cause a problem." Li Xue said, not wanting to lie for the things. Since she has already informed her about having a boyfriend, she would tell her the truth about other things as well.

"He is making you live in the forest? Li Xue, are you sure of the guy. Though I know you are careful in your career, still you should also remain extra careful in real life. Don't get cheated just for the sake of a few sweet talks."  Lin Xinyi said with genuine concern. Like she was advising her younger sister.

In her words, Li Xue could feel the warmth as well. The curl of her lips deepened, realizing her concern. Chuckling, she replied, "Haha … Sister Xinyi, don't worry. I will not get cheated this easily. If he dares to cheat me, he will be left penniless. And I am sure being a businessman, he will not take that risk". She said, raising her brows meaningfully at the man.

"I hope that you are sure about Li Xue. I just do not want you to be like those little girls who go after men's looks and wealthy sweet talks. Remember don't force yourself to be with any guy that doesn't suit you. I am always there to help you out with things. You are the model assigned under me and I will make sure you live well". Lin Xinyi said. Her meaning was clear with her words and Li Xue has also heard and understood it well.

"I know, Sister Xinyi. …" Gratefully, she was about to thank her for her patience and faith but right at that time, a tender voice came from the door –

"Good morning, Mama! I missed you a lot."

And maybe at the moment, that sweet, melodic voice changed the whole of the story.
