Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 1027 - Respectable Gentleman.

Chapter 1027 - 'Respectable Gentleman'.

Feng Shufen's nonchalant expressions didn't faze. He sat there calmly looking at Li Xue.

Though the woman has always known about his confidence and trust in her, still whenever she sees him looking at her like that, she just couldn't control her heart from skipping a beat.

So, when at the situation she felt her heart skip a beat, she looked away. Coughing, she restated, "Mr. Beelzebub, you don't have to look at me like that. I have already decided to tell you everything. So, there is no way I am going to run away. But you have to also understand that the other reason is secondary. So kindly take it as one, okay?"

Feng Shufen raised his brows but then seeing her raise hers as well, he nodded. "I am all ears. Continue."

Li Xue looked at him. Though she wanted to complain about his pressing tone, the next second, she found it unnecessary. So, looking at him, she began to end her part of the story. "I won't lie, but the secondary reason has been the family gathering. I wanted to keep my schedule free for that day."

She confessed and as if she felt that man might be upset again, her hands went to reach out to him with persuasion. "But Mr. Beelzebub as I said, you have to take it as my second and very unimportant reason. So, there is nothing to be upset about." She said and anxiously waited to hear his reply.

But the expressions of the man didn't seem favorable. Was he going to be upset with her again?

"Mr. Beelzebub, you can't go back on your words now."

"…"

"You are not upset with me, right?"

"…"

"Mr. Beelzebub, this is not how respected gentleman like you should behave."

"I am not upset with you."

"No, I am not going to hear you. You are going back on your words and …" In her anxiousness, Li Xue didn't hear properly and went on her own tune. But realization stuck her soon. Her words paused in the middle as she stared at the man in confusion. "What did you say? You are not upset with me?"

"Yes, Mama. Daddy Angel has just said he is not upset with you. And I have said the same before. Did you not believe WeiWei that time?" On the side, seeing her mother suddenly getting over-anxious, WeiWei was panicked as well. She was about to jump down from her high-raised chair to go to her mother, but luckily Li Xue noticed Feng Shufen's tone on time.

Li Xue turned to look at her daughter and reconfirmed, "So your Daddy Angel really said that?" She asked and the little head nodded twice.

"Yes, Mama. He did." WeiWei confirmed; on which Li Xue turned back to look at the man, still in a bit of hesitation.

"Don't worry. As you consider me, I am the 'respectable gentleman' who doesn't go back on his words" Feng Shufen said to reconfirm, and only after she heard him say that she believed that she hadn't heard it wrong.

Li Xue's cheeks blushed. Only a silly person like her could make such an error. "I didn't mean to use them together. Don't make fun of my anxiousness." She said on her side, WeiWei pouted to say.

"Mama, can WeiWei speak now? She has finished everything from her plate."

Li Xue looked at her and nodded. To which the little girl instantly added, "Mama, with me and Daddy Angel around, no one can make fun of you. We will protect you." She said and at her words, Li Xue could just sigh.

Who would be able to save the treasure if you give it to the safekeeping of the thief? Her daughter was too innocent to understand this.

On the other side, Zhang Qian Lan returned home early in the morning. When she entered the mansion, her expressions looked a bit scary. Although the maids went to check her necessities, everyone was pushed away just with a warning glare.

"Where is your Young Miss?" She asked, her voice held extra emergency than the other times.

At her such tone, the maids flinched but one of them came forward to reply, "Madam, Young Miss has come back early yesterday and has also slept well at night. Right now, she is in her room, discussing something with Ms. Lillian. I have just gone there to serve Young Miss her breakfast."

The maid dumped out all the information in one go, even though she knew she was speaking too much for a simple question. But that was what she was asked to do yesterday.

Last night Zhang Xiaotong has clearly mentioned to everyone that when asked by the Madam, they have to prove her presence in the mansion since evening.

Zhang Qian Lan looked at the maid who came forward to speak and her gaze turn scarier. Her fists rounded in a ball on the sides, as in the next second she yelled, calling out her assistant, "Zhao Han, fire them all right away. I don't want to feed the disloyal dogs." She said as at once went up to climb the staircase.

Behind the maids panicked but they knew that their lies were caught and in no way, they would be able to survive in the mansion. But was there any way for them? Either way, they would have lost their job.

Upstairs, it didn't take long for the lady to reach her daughter's room. Though the door of the room was shut, she didn't intend to give a knock on it. Pushing it open at once, she got inside to check on her daughter.

"Zhang Xiaotong!" She called as her eyes went to scan over every detail of the girl as if searching for something on her.

"Ma!" Zhang Xiaotong was taken aback at the sudden appearance. She stood up to look at her. "When did you come back? Weren't you returning in the evening? Then why this early?"

"Xiaotong, I won't ask you for the second time.. This is your only chance. Tell me what happened yesterday?"
