Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 1119 - Making Someone Else Stronger.

"Mr. Beelzebub!" Li Xue murmured under her breath when she felt his fingers working on the buttons of her top wear. Her ambers that had turned misty matched with his as looking deep into his greys, she reached to pause his hands where it was.

Feng Shufen stared at her and understood her concern, so reaching to kiss the back of her hand, he assured, "Don't worry, I have locked the door. No one would come until you permit." He spoke and that was all that Li Xue wanted to know before letting go of the last restraint she was holding inside.

And her surrender of the situation was all that Feng Shufen needed before proceeding his way on her. Before Li Xue could realize it, their clothes were already off and the rest was the story of the night that was worth experiencing and keeping in memories.

Soon the evening got mixed with the relaxing darkness of the night sky. Li Xue was all cozily tucked onto the couch with the blanket covering her well-dressed body. As if knowing the late-night time ticking on the clock, Li Xue's eyes soon flutter against the light, attempting to open.

"Umm … Shufen!" She called out when didn't see the man around. Her hands checked on the sides but there was no one. She was not expecting to see him sleeping next to her on the couch as it could accommodate only one person; still, at least she was expecting to see him near.

"You are awake? Did you sleep well?" Just when she was about to think that the man has left her alone and went out, Feng Shufen's voice from behind, proved her wrong.

Her lips twisted in a pout as rubbing her eyes to clear away the sleepiness, she sat up before turning behind to look at the man. He was there sitting at the desk, working back on the files he had left there before. "Huh? You have gone back to work again? How long did I sleep?" She asked, her expression of half-asleep looking very similar to the one WeiWei held on her face most of the time.

Feng Shufen's lips tugged up slightly at the adorableness she held on her face at the moment. But then, pulling his hands up to check his watch, he replied, "It's almost 9 pm already." He said and at his mention of the time, Li Xue's eyes widened in horror.

Panicking for a moment, she repeated before springing down from the couch, pulling away the duvet from herself, "Almost 9 pm? It's already late. Mr. Beelzebub, I would have to leave first, WeiWei must be waiting for the …"

"Calm down, I have already called Sister Margaret. She would be looking after WeiWei. There is nothing to worry about." He said and only after he said it like that did Li Xue feel the ease.

"Oh." She spoke softly, looking down at herself in a different dress from before. Who would have thought that spare pair of her dress would have been kept prepared in the man's office all the time? But now that she thinks, she felt like everything was pre-planned from before. Or else how could there be so many coincidences?

Earlier when she had made her way to Feng Internationals, it was early evening and she has thought that once she has her talk with the man, she would return back to her daughter soon. But who would have thought that the whole plot of the story would change the moment she would enter the Devil's office here?

Oh yeah! She had something to talk to the man about. In the midst of everything, she just forgot about it.

"Mr. Beelzebub …"

"Since you are awake already, we can have the talk for which you have come here. Then later we would leave together." Feng Shufen said and Li Xue was not surprised at it. Her appearance like this was too obvious. People who knew her could easily guess it. Let alone talk about Feng Shufen who could read her like a book.

Li Xue stared at Feng Shufen and then walking up to his desk, she took a seat across him. Her eyes held the seriousness, which meant that she was really out to deal with the matter and now was no longer interested in keeping it concealed, "Mr. Beelzebub, now I think we have played enough with the Shens. It's time for us to pull back and help them."

She said and Feng Shufen heard her all patiently as if he had reserved all his time and patience for her. "What are your plans?" he asked and at his question like that, Li Xue simply shrugged her shoulders.

"Nothing too complex. After whatever is happening in the royal palace, I want things to return back to normal. And for that Shens would have to return back to the side of His and Her Highness like before." Li Xue said as her pupil shone against the darkness as she added more to say, "Before, in the evening, I have met Princess Shen and has discussed the way to make Shens return back to normal. And for that, I need your help. Since earlier, you have said you would help me in this, I have come here to ask that help."

Feng Shufen heard her and his expression was very neutral to her. As if internally, he was thinking about how successful would be the plans the woman has thought of. "Helping you with the Shens is as easy as a simple flick of the finger. But do you think it's worthwhile? Bringing the Shens back to the side of the main royal couple won't turn everything back to normal as things are no longer restricted to them. The division among the people has spread, making someone else stronger. Shens wouldn't be all that His and Her Highness would need to restore their power and position."

He said and guessing the meaning behind his words, Li Xue asked, "With someone, are you referring to Su Ce?" And her question doesn't need a reply, since the answer was already all clear.
