Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 156 - Could make her run a marathon.

"Daddy Angel, I am done with this book and now I am all ready to supervise your cooking," the little girl said cheerfully as she closed the thin recipe book in her hand. Her eyes went to look at her mother, who was busy chopping vegetables and asked, "Mama, do you need a comfy hug now? Caring Doctor Uncle said that you will get well if I give them to you at regular intervals."

Li Xue looked at her daughter, who looked so adorable extending her arms for a hug. Her lips arched to respond to her with a smile. "Yes, baby, who won't want that? But my hands are a little messed right now so give me one after I am done with everything"

Getting her mother's words, Li Wei gave an understanding nod with a smile and then turned to her Daddy Angel to watch him cooking. Soon Li Xue was done with the job assigned to her. She turned to announce it but her words got struck down in her throat when she saw the man pulling his sleeves up in action.

For the first time, her heart wanted her to take some time out to admire his well-built physique and charming face. The way his soft-looking hair fell over his forehead was making him look a lot like a school teenage crush of a girl's dreams.

Her heart wanted her to go back to her college life so that she could also chase after him with her fantasy-filled eyes and childish tricks. But sigh! her days were passed handling the jerks and the one she got after sorting them out was no less than the trash. Her teenage years have really been a disappointment.

Why did I not get to trail this man at that time? Maybe that way my trust and heart would not have been wounded the way it has been!

"It's still not late!" came the words which almost made Li Xue run off the hills in fear. Her eyes went wide when she looked at him. His eyes were still concentrated on the pan, cooking the meat.

Were those words for me? How did he hear her? Was she loud? She felt confused.

"Huh?" she raised her suspicion at his words to which he turned to look at her. "Did you say something?" she asked in more clear words when she found him a little dumb looking at her.

"I said that it is still not late", he spoke with a pause as his eyes turned to look at the meat getting roasted in the pan and then he added, "to add some more seasoning to it. It won't ruin the taste".

"Yes Mama, I have told Daddy angel that you like to eat spicy" the little girl from the side added when she heard her Daddy Angel explaining. Li Xue felt like she could not make herself more embarrassed. Scratching her hair scalps lightly, she quickly said "Ohh! I am sorry, I was too busy chopping the vegetables here that I didn't hear anything. I thought that those words were directed to me. Haha …"

Feng Shufen raised his brows at her and then added in nonchalance, "It's not bad to take my words as the suggestion for your inner thoughts too". He may not have heard what were her inner thoughts but given to her flushed cheeks, he can relate somewhat with her thoughts.

Was it that obvious? Li Xue bit her tongue and chided her inner self for giving off such evidence to the Devil. She no more had any words to say. Feeling sympathetic to her own self, she asked: "Is there something else with which I can help you?"

"If not then I will go out a little while. I want a short walk in fresh air" she added deliberately, trying to avoid the coming words of the man. She really needed to go out and have some breather to calm her heart, which was already thumping louder and louder.

Feng Shufen did not say anything for a moment. He just looked at her for some time and nodded. He can see through her expressions to know the reason behind her words. "You can go to the terrace too. I will let you know once everything is done here!"

Getting the approval for her thoughts, Li Xue did not hesitate in making her way away from the scene. The far she goes, the better it would be!

Seeing her walk away with such great speed, the man suppressed his laughter making a mental note in his head. 'With such good speed, next time I could make you run a marathon!'

On the other side of the city,

The old man, Li Sheng's phone was not leaving his ears. Fair lines of stress and anxiousness were evident all over his facial features. He had no idea what went wrong but suddenly the stock prices have dropped. He was making continuous calls but none of his calls was getting answered.

"Darling, is it still the same?" Liu Hua asked as she strolled in her living room with a tray. The old man did not bother to reply to her rather dialled another number to make yet another call. "Don't stress too much about it. Everything will surely get back to normal. Don't forget we have our daughter Sying to help us out every time"

Liu Hua did not mind her husband's ignorance. It was nothing for her. She was already used to such ignorant behaviour of his. Boasting Wen Sying, she was about to add some more words in favour of her when suddenly the call Li Sheng was trying got connected.

A smile getting plastered on his face as he answered the call, "Hello! Good evening Mr Jin! I just wanted to ask if I can get any help from our business club? My company is in …" Before he could complete his words, the person on the other side said something that made Li Sheng's brows furrowed and complexion go pale.

"They have banned me? How can they ban me like that? I have never failed to put my share of donations and subscriptions there. How can they ban me without giving any reason or notice to me?" Li Sheng was all confused. Everything was going right then how things got changed in just a blink of an eye.
