Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

"Wenting, I-I was just wanting to talk something to President Feng about the news segment trending. It was nothing serious. Why are you asking me this?" Stuttering a bit in her words, Wen Sying said. But something about Zheng Wenting was telling her that he was very annoyed with her. She wanted to calm him down but for the first time, she felt like she had no way. 

"Sying, could you please not meddle in my business? Don't you have an engagement to plan? Just focus on that. You can do at least that, right?" Wenting said in a gentle voice, but even if his voice was gentle the tone wasn't. The taunt was all clear in his voice that made her clench her fists with some aggrieves. 

Without her knowing, her eyes got filled with tears, and looking at her like that, Da-Xia, still standing on the side didn't know how to react. 

"Wenting, I can do a lot. But can you also do the same? I might be wrong to call President Feng but are you right to call and scream at me like this? Especially when tomorrow, we are having our engagement." Wen Sying spoke in a disappointed voice. For the first time, not caring for the thoughts or replies of the man. 

At first, she feared his anger but hearing him taunt her on the name of engagement, she wasn't able to take more. Was it that hard for him to love her like he loved Li Xue? If yes, then why was it not that hard for him to bed with her? Why was it not hard for him to get passionate with her every time? Wasn't that love as well?

On the other side of the call, Zheng Wenting hesitated. Of course, it was easy for him to sense the woman crying on the other side. He felt burdensome about it but still tried to cajole.  "Sying, I didn't mean it that way. It was just a bit embarrassing to receive the complaint call from Mr. Tang about you. The project is kept secret and we were not wanting to bring it up like this, yet you called there and mentioned, it wasn't good." 

Wen Sying shook her head and laughed a bit hysterically, "You still don't get what I am saying, Wenting. It's not about my call, or your call, or any of Mr. Tang's calls. It's about our engagement. We are having one tomorrow, yet it's only me thinking about it. You said that I have an engagement to look on, but do you not have the same? Why is it just me taking care of it while you are just there not at all interested in it?" 

"Sying there is nothing like that. I am just a bit busy and that's why having no time to visit you. Be a little understanding." Not understanding the reasons himself, Zheng Wenting has the only escape of denial. And he didn't delay choosing it the very moment he got the chance. 

"Wenting, I am …"

"Sying, I still have a meeting to attend. Don't worry, today I will make some time to visit you, if not, then tomorrow definitely will be our day. Don't think too much." He said and then without waiting to hear her more, disconnected the call. 

Behind, Wen Sying didn't know what else to say. Clutching on her phone, she yelled, "Da-Xia, go and check this news thing first. I don't want to see my money getting wasted. Do whatever you want but create the hype of my engagement. This is my last chance and I can't miss it. Neither to Li Xue nor to anyone else." 

She said and the pitiful manager could only nod helplessly. "I will try my best, Sying. You don't take the stress. You need to maintain your inner calmness to come up beautiful tomorrow."

But how come Wen Sying could come to peace. Since things have come to remind her how Li Xue was still holding an upper position in her life, she would only be calmed after hearing the progression of her plan of ruin.

Not waiting too long for satisfaction, she immediately dialed the number to call Liu Hua. And in no time the call was received and next came the soft, gentle, and loving voice of the woman. 

"Dear, how is your glow of nourishment going? You better take proper rest today. Tomorrow you need to shine the most. You are already beautiful but you need to look more pretty tomorrow. Do you get that?" Liu Hua said, acting just like the over-concerned mother whose daughter would be having a wedding the next day.

"Mother, I will rest well. But first tell me, is everything prepared for Li Xue? Did you already find someone for her?" Wen Sying didn't bother holding any soft word to begin her talk rather, straightforwardly jumped onto the matter. 

And finding her so stressed, Liu Hua as well didn't find it odd. Instead, she concernedly asked, "What happened, Sying? Did that sl*t come to bully you again? Don't worry this time she will be finished. I have made sure of everything."

Oblivious to all the plans against her, Li Xue was all down and concentrated on looking at the comments going online. Up till now, she has learned that light has the highest speed but today, looking at that speed of the comments going online in the name of Feng Shufen, she wanted to change that theory. 

As expected there were sounds of several hearts breaking while also several cries of young girls both sending wishes and curses her way. Though those words weren't directly mentioning her name, still she could feel it just coming for her. As who else was the woman Mr. Beelzbub talked about so freely earlier? 

"Why are you still looking at the laptop screen. It will hurt your eyes. Take some rest." Feng Shufen, who has been working on his desk said when saw the woman getting all focused on the laptop while ignoring his presence blatantly. 

And at his words, Li Xue's eyes snapped to glare at him. "You still dare to say that to me. You know why I am reading so intently about these news and comments. Only if you have agreed on deleting the segment, I would not have been adamant about hurting my eyes like this". She said, pouting her lips out and seeing her like that, Feng Shufen could not help but chuckle. 

Seeing him chuckle, Li Xue squinted her eyes at him. "You! You are still laughing at me. What if any one of them caught my picture as well? Then how do you think I will reply to all my followers? I know though I have worn the mask still I have seen fans identifying their idols just by the strand of their hair. What if someone's sharp eyes catch me as well?" 

Feng Shufen looked at her and shrugging his shoulders nonchalantly, he said, "That won't happen. And if it happens then …" He paused then suggestively added, "Accept me publicly." 

And Li Xue was speechless. Was it that simple? She shook her head and just hoped nothing would happen, or it would turn into another big problem. 

But little did she know, her instinct wasn't wrong to fear that.
