Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

At Feng Internationals, 

Giving a polite knock at the door, Gao Fan walked inside Feng Shufen's office. "President Feng!" Bowing his head in greeting, he politely waited for permission to speak.

Feng Shufen was as usual busy at work. His eyes were smoothly reading the details on the file but that didn't mean he has failed to notice the arrival of his secretary in the cabin. "Did you find her?" He asked briefly in a slow voice which might have gone missed if Gao Fan wouldn't have been attentive during his work. 

"President Feng, we failed to find her in Country Chiboa. It seems like she has left the country overnight as there are no traces of her." Gao Fan reported and was about to say more when another voice from a distance interrupted him. 

"Of course! That old woman couldn't be in Chiboa. Was that hard for you to tell, Secretary Gao? Tsk, tsk, I haven't expected you to be so inflexible in thoughts. I think your President Feng has overworked your brain." 

It was Qi Shuai who has appeared out of nowhere. And as always, he again didn't mind to knock the door. Simply pushing it, he slid inside all rightfully, walking ahead to come and take the seat in front of Feng Shufen. 

Though he has done everything with great confidence, still while coming inside the cabin and getting himself a seat, he has purposefully avoided the eyes of his friend that he could clearly feel piercing at him. 

Coughing slightly to shrug that gaze of his thoughts, he didn't mind and focused all his attention on the secretary to ask, "What? Secretary Gao, you were saying something. Won't you continue?" 

Gao Fan could only look at him and shake his head internally. As usual, he has already gotten adapted to this attitude of the Director, because he knew that in no way the man would be able to change his ways. Not because he doesn't have that strict side in him but for, he was the person who just enjoy getting on the nerves of the people. 

"Director Qi, I was about to say the same. Ms. Liu doesn't seem to be in the country. She has disappeared mysteriously overnight and there seems no traces of her anywhere." Gao Fan stated with a pressed expression and was again about to turn to Feng Shufen to discuss it when heard the Director interrupting again with a cherry smile. 

"Who said so, Secretary Gao?" 

"Director Qi, what are you talking about?" Gao Fan couldn't help but ask. Though he has known the dramatic Director for almost half of his life, still he couldn't understand what was so good in playing like this. 

Qi Shuai looked at the poor secretary and smiled, "Of course, I am talking about the traces, Secretary Gao. What else do you think?" 

"What do you mean?" Gao Fan frowned as his brows tugged both in confusion and interest. 

Getting a smug curl over his lips, Qi Shuai winked at the secretary as for the first time, he turned to look at his friend, he said, "Who said there are no traces left behind about that woman? There might be some left but you were not able to get your hands on them. Isn't that seemed possible?" 

Something that slid off the sight of Gao Fan? Was that possible? Nope, that was impossible as the secretary was too meticulous to leave anything. 

But since it was Qi Shuai telling so there seems a possibility. Furthermore, the confidence on Qi Shuai's face was no lie. Right now, he was looking like a kid who was all confident that no other was better than him. 

Feng Shufen looked at his friend like that and asked in the straightest tone, "What did you get your hands on?" His expressions were all poker and strict without any lace of emotion in them. 

Qi Shuai looked at his friend like that and then pursed his lips. "Hey, Shufen, don't you feel you are being mean to me? I worked hard to find the traces of the culprit of your wife and also succeeded in it. How could you be so poker at me? Ask me with some affection and love. I am your sole dearest friend who deserves your affection." 

Feng Shufen rolled his eyes. As nodding to him, he said, "Fine, since you think the affection is not enough. Go back outside, knock at the door, seek permission before getting in here to take the seat. What do you think?"  He said and his instruction was quite clear to make Qi Shuai surrender at an instance. 

"You sure a Devil. How could you get an angel like me as your friend? You simply don't deserve me." Feeling lost at the very start of the war, Qi Shuai complained but Feng Shufen didn't pay any heed to it. 

"Still don't want to tell then you can return to your room to work." 

"You …" Qi Shuai was again about to throw a guilt-trap but seeing the man's gaze turn stern, he retreated. "Check your mail, I have sent it to you already. I am still your friend to love you selflessly. Don't doubt my motives. I am always on your side." 

He said and Feng Shufen instantly moved his fingers on his computer to check his mail while from the side, Qi Shuai explained more, "The mail has the attachment that reasons out the disappearance of Liu Hua. The video got captured by one of the hidden cameras of Emerald De-Luxe. Though His Majesty has been mindful of removing the evidences, his people's sharp eyes still left a camera behind same as Secretary Gao." 

"But when I checked it, I found it there. So, you can rest assured. Even though you weren't able to get your hands on that woman, she must have well got the deserving punishment. And above that, you can also be happy seeing this. As the immediate action from His Majesty only derives one thing that he has accepted Sister-in-law as his own. And that one thing would surely turn in our good in future." 

He said but Feng Shufen didn't say anything. His eyes just stared at the screen that was playing how the special squad of royals took away Liu Hua first before taking away Li Sheng as well. 

"She doesn't want to know her real father." He said after some thought, his eye looking at a distance with some depth.

"But Shufen, won't it be good to have royales as her backing? Though you are there for her, you also know well that amidst your family she still would require the great title of family background. And royales are a perfect match for it. Once revealed, none would have any ..."

"She won't need them. And also, don't forget, getting involved with the royals will as well bring no good to her but another mess." Even though what Qi Shuai said had the point, Feng Shufen went rigid on his words. If the woman doesn't want to get involved in the things, he would never let her force herself into it. 

On the other side, at some prestigious city apartment, 

Li Xue stood out a house, ringing the bell. But even after few attempts there was no response coming from inside. She would have doubted that she was at the wrong place. But remembering Lin Xinyi's address well from company's book, she couldn't do that. 

"Is Sister Xinyi alright? Why is she not opening the door? Almost growing worried to death, Li Xue was about to give call to the emergency department when heard the footsteps coming from behind. She turned around to look only to find the young girl behind, "MengMeng, you are here?"
