Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 1433 Are You Challenging Me?

Days passed by slowly but the week didn't come too late. There was all hustle going on in the Feng household due to Feng Yi Lan's wedding but it was all peaceful at Li Xue's place. To an extent where she even forgot that there was a wedding coming in the weekend.

Feng Shufen has purposely shielded their forest house from the hurly-burly of Feng Yi Lan's wedding. It was not because he didn't care for his friend or his sister, but because he cared for Li Xue more than anyone else.

To him, his priority was all set. His wife and his daughter. All the rest can take care of themselves.

But from when did Feng Yi Lan become the one to follow her brother's set rules. Although she managed to keep herself away from Li Xue during the initial preparation days, she could no longer keep herself back now when the pre-wedding jitters were getting out of her control.

"What do you mean by that? I said I wanted to meet my best friend. Do you think you can just hold me back because my brother has said so? What is he planning to do? Is he trying to imprison her for her whole life?"

Feng Yi Lan chided in a passed off tone when her way to get inside the forest house got obstructed by Sister Margaret.

The old woman didn't want to offend Feng Yi Lan, but there wasn't anything she could do when she had received the clear instructions from Feng Shufen.

Furthermore, at this moment in the afternoon, Li Xue was sleeping. How could she allow anyone to disturb Madam's sleep when her situation of getting good sleep has mentioned the most important routine of her schedule?

"Third Young Miss, Madam is sleeping at the moment. We can't allow you in. Please don't make it tough for us." She said and it further annoyed Feng Yi Lan.

Feng Yi Lan was not annoyed on her own. She was pregnant herself so her mood wasn't actually in her control. "Sister Margaret, it's not me making it tough for you, rather it's you who is making it tough for me. I have always respected you as a person but now you are forcing me to disregard you."

Her words took the old lady by surprise. Not because of what Feng Yi Lan said but for how she said it. When Feng Yi Lan said that she never disrespected Sister Margaret, she said it right. She has always been very polite and respectful towards her. And now that today, she was easily losing her patience like that with her, the aged lady doubted that things were somewhere different.

"Third Young Miss, I …"

She wanted to say something to coax her annoyance but before she could, Feng Yi Lan cut her off in impatience to say, "If your concern is Li Xue's sleep and my brother's orders, don't worry. I assure you; my interruption today won't cause you any severe punishment. I will personally ask Li Xue to save you guys from my brother."

She said with firmness. She knew as long as she talked to Li Xue, her girl would agree to her. And what was so wrong in meeting her own friend? She was sure it was all her brother's doing. Li Xue might not even have the idea that how she has been kept away from her all this while.

Sister Margaret still shook her head. And seeing the old lady's stubbornness, Feng Yi Lan was ready to burst out but right at that moment, a voice made her feel the chills while making her swallow all her words.

"Do you think my wife is your attendant who will take all your commands and attend to you whenever you want?"

Feng Yi Lan's spine went stiff when she heard Feng Shufen's voice. She wanted to take that voice as a mere illusion but seeing the polite bow of Sister Margaret at her front made her realize that she wasn't that fortunate.

She kept her back at him but could hear his steps walking towards her. And soon he was right in front of her. Her breath struck for a while when she saw his cold pair of eyes staring warningly at her.

While her knees felt weak, her thoughts worked to find a way to save herself. "I-I … Brother, how can you be this ruthless to your pregnant wife. You are locking her up at home. Do you think that's good for her and the baby? Also, how can you restrain me from meeting her? Before you got her, she was my best friend. Of course, I have more right on her."

Feng Shufen's expression didn't change at her claim. Instead, he looked at her for a second before speaking. "There is a big and very important difference between 'was' and 'is'? Have you forgotten it or should I appoint a teacher to tutor you back about tenses?"

He gave back ruthlessly and Feng Yi Lan opened her mouth to speak something but then closed it feeling the lack of vocabulary in her dictionary.

"What? If you have finally remembered your basic lessons, you can leave. I will ask someone to escort you back to the main mansion." Feng Shufen said before turning to give a meaningful look to Sister Margaret, who nodded in response.

Feng Yi Lan noticed movement of gaze and understood his orders. Pursing her lips in sullen-ness, she said stubbornly, "I am not going anywhere. I came to meet Li Xue, and I will not leave until I meet her. If you want you can kill me but even after my death, my soul would stay and never leave. Hmph!"

Hmphing, she folded her arms over her chest, giving him an open challenge. Feng Shufen's expression turned a shade darker as he looked at her and asked, "Are you challenging me?"

Although Feng Yi Lan felt the continuous chills down her spine, her stubbornness got the best. Nodding arrogantly, she said, "It's all up to you to decide."
