Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 1064 - Mr. Beelzebub, Dont You Have Something To Say?

"Shufen, you are here?" Li Xue asked with a tug of confusion on her brows. The severe rebellious tone of his words earlier didn't go amiss by her.

Feng Shufen nodded before giving a hum to her and then turned to stare at the two people at the table. His gaze was all cold and serious at them.

"If you are done with your breakfast, we should leave first. Gao Fan and Du Fan are waiting for us outside." He said before gesturing WeiWei to come down first.

The little girl nodded to him obediently and was at once down her chair to reach her father. But that obedience was not before she showed her table manners. "L?olao! L?oyé! The breakfast was really good. WeiWei enjoyed its deliciousness to the fullest." She said before sprinting her way to Feng Shufen.

Li Xue felt something was amiss, especially given the anxiety that she could see on the faces of Shin Tingming and Chen Rui. Though she couldn't understand the meaning behind that anxiousness, she didn't feel it right to ask it at the moment.

So smiling, she just wiped her lips before standing up to say, "Your Majesty! Ma! Thanks for the breakfast but Shufen still has some important work to do. It won't be good to keep him waiting for me here. I will take care of myself and visit soon."

She said and Chen Rui nodded weakly at her in approval. "Take care then. I will let Linda reach your manager to inform the changes in the project schedule." She said and Li Xue nodded to her before walking to Shufen to leave. On her way, she didn't forget to give a smile to You Jun as well, who in return gave the double thumbs up to her.

Feng Shufen's eyes were still looking at the royal couple as if warning them about something. But what surprised Li Xue about the scenario was that even though his gaze was like that, neither Shin Tingming nor Chen Rui looked offended by it. Instead, they looked guilty of something.

Reaching out to hold his arms, Li Xue spoke softly, "I am all ready to go. Shall we?"

Feng Shufen nodded before holding onto the hands of WeiWei to walk out along with the two. While they walked, the little girl waved her hands looking back at the people behind.

Shin Tingming and Chen Rui smiled at her sweet gesture and reciprocated by waving back at her. And that wave continued until they were finally out of their sight. Shin You Jun, who has almost completed his breakfast, stood up as well. "Ma, Pa, I still have a bit of thing to see in my college. I will go for it first and will see you later."

Chen Rui nodded and the boy was already off to leave. But while leaving, he didn't fail to encourage his mother with positiveness. "Ma, don't worry. No one would be able to question Elder Sister's existence with us around. We will soon have her included in our family." He said and seeing his mother nod at him, he walked away.

Once he was gone, Chen Rui turned to look at her husband with a complicated expression. "Tingming, you know it won't be simple as You Jun said. Do you think FenFen would allow it?"

Shin Tingming's expression was deep. His eyes looked in the direction in which Li Xue has left with her family. "I don't really care if Feng Shufen will allow it or not. What I care about at the moment is Xiao Xue. I fear she might not accept us after she comes to know about the truth."

The woman reached out to hold his hands that were intertwined together on the table. "Though I want Li Xue to know the truth, I don't think Shufen would be revealing it to her anytime sooner." She said and the man turned to look at her, perplexed.

To which the woman explained. "Yesterday, I called to speak about the same with him. But he countered by saying that he doesn't want Xiao Xue to feel burdened with us. So, he won't support us in revealing the things to her."

Shin Tingming shook his head. "Shufen's gaze earlier doesn't mean that, Rui. The way he looked at us and the tone with which he interrupted; it just meant he won't allow any injustice to the girl. He won't take any time in revealing the things to her. Now I just hope she doesn't hate me for the past."

He said and Chen Rui looked at him. She wanted to comfort his fear but she knew that her no assurance at the moment could serve as the guarantee of the thing. Internally, she could just hope that everything turned out well in the end.

After a long drive back to the forest, soon Li Xue reached Our Paradise. Just as she walked inside the place, her phone rang revealing the name of Lin Xinyi. She gestured her daughter to go up first while she remained back to receive the call.

"Hello, Sister Xinyi. Sorry, I wasn't able to visit …" Before she could greet and explain to Lin Xinyi, the woman on the other side interrupted to speak.

"Li Xue, leave all that. I know what happened with you there. Xiao Meng reported the things to me. How are you now?"

Li Xue pressed her lips together to hum first. "Mhm. I am fine, Sister Xinyi. The doctor has said that the wounds would recover soon. So, it's not a worry." She said and then taking a pause, she continued. "The schedule of the Royal project has paused for a while. And Her Highness has said that soon she will let her secretary meet you to discuss the changes."

"Changes? Are you sure, Li Xue that you want to continue with it? If you aren't comfortable, I could always handle it for you." After what happened with the girl, Lin Xinyi was skeptical of the things. So not hiding her worry, she asked straightforwardly.

Li Xue could understand her worry. Still, leaving the project in the mid was not her nature. "Don't worry Sister Xinyi, I am fine. I want to continue this. And about the thing that happened was just an accident." She said and just then saw Feng Shufen entering the house. Her eyes paused at him for a moment.

"Xiao Xue, I know what and how the things happened. So in front of me don't call it an accident." Lin Xinyi said on the call. And getting a bit in hurry, Li Xue said.

"Sister Xinyi, that's something that I would need to explain to you in detail. May I call you later to do that? I need to do something else first." She said and understanding the hurry in her tone, Lin Xinyi hummed.

"Fine. Call me when you get time. I would want to hear everything." She said before disconnecting the call. While keeping the phone down, Li Xue looked up at the man to ask.

"Mr. Beelzebub, I was waiting for you.. Don't you have something to tell me now?" She said, intending the most obvious meaning in her words.
