Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 279 - Her devilic - obedient child.

All along the ride, Li Xue only had one thing in her head. The possibilities of Director Qi and Yi Lan having something between them. If that was true then she couldn't believe that a personality like Qi Shuai could ever hurt anyone.

But then again remembering her friend's breakdown a few days back while stating her heartbreak … she could not help but feel biased towards her friend. She has not known the Director but has always known her dearest friend. It's only right for her to think about Yi Lan first then about some other.

Remembering everything from that day back, Li Xue did not miss the involvement of Feng Shufen in that conversation topic too. Though she knew he was not the man as heartless as the world takes him as, she still asked, "Do you really not consider Yi Lan as your little sister because you both have different mothers?"

There was no hesitation in her tone but she soon regretted asking something this meant to him. Didn't questioning someone mean that you don't believe them enough to have patience and faith in them?

Her eyes strained to look at every detail in the change of his expression. Trying to find him hurt with her words but his expressions were all still as if he was still comprehending something in his head.

Pain pierced her heart when she realized that her doubts may have hurt him. That may be, she has really crossed his bottom line while asking something this personal to him. Not to forget that he has yet to share his part of life with her. He has yet to mention his family to her. Why didn't she hold some best of her patience for him?

"I am sorry! I did not mean to hurt you …"

"Why do you think so? Did you see me being cruel to her?" he suddenly asked. And Li Xue simply did not know how she should respond to this.

Nope, Li Xue has never thought that he was being cruel to Yi Lan. Even when she has heard him ordering Gao Fan to invest in the brand of Yi Lan's market competitor.

Because she knew well that their brother and sister relationship has always been like that. Where he loved to tease his sister in his own way and then help her out of the situations every time. That was not called being cruel to someone.

Shaking her head in disapproval, she instantly said, "You have never been cruel to her. In fact, I have found you always very caring towards her. Though your ways of showing your concern have always been a bit different still that's something between you and Yi Lan. Something no one can question. Not even me! Yi Lan and …".

"I have never taken the second wife of my father to be my mother. She has always been my second mother in the name. I have even never accepted Yi Lan to be my younger sister" he said, making Li Xue pause in her thoughts and words. His expressions, all firm and serious.

"But I was not able to ignore the desperation Yi Lan had in her, to become my younger sister. So no matter how much I don't want to be her elder brother, I still can't shove her off myself. She is still my younger sister, not only by name but also by feeling we share." He confessed and the woman's lips instantly curled up to give a smile.

Li Xue's thoughts were so right about it. 'If only I could let Yi Lan hear this then she would have been over the sky!' she thought. But then suddenly shot her doubts out again. "Then why do you leave her alone with Director Qi? I am sure, you also know that he has done something worse to Yi Lan's feelings. And he …"

"Though I am not sure what he has done to her feelings 3 years back,?I know this the best that no other will be as capable as him for Yi Lan." He said and then the other moment added, "It's already late. WeiWei must be waiting for us inside. Let's go!"

Though the words were simple and plain but … Was he upset with her? Was it for something she asked him?

Oh, God! She knew that her words could have hurt him!

Right at the moment when she was about to ask him if he was upset with her or not, a soft bubbly voice came from outside the car. "Mama, Daddy Angel! Are you back home?"

And like that the opportunity of instant apology was lost. Both of them stepped out of the car. Their little princess was already standing at the door to welcome them.

Little Li Wei looked at both of them and then instantly smiling with her cheerful smile ran to the embrace of … embrace of her mother. Li Xue was also startled for a second as she has always thought that since the man has shown up in their life, her princess has preferred to be high up in his embrace rather under her arms.

But now seeing her jump all the way to wrap her arms around her legs, she was surprised.

"Mama, I missed you all day!" the little girl said, raising her twinkling eyes to look at her mother. Her face beaming with happiness to see them back together.

"I missed my sweetie too!" Li Xue said as she pulled her little body up in her arms. "Sorry I did not inform you before leaving. How was your day? I hope you weren't a naughty kid to Sister Margaret?"

Little Li Wei instantly shook her head, "No, Mama! I swear I was your good girl here. You can ask pretty Sister Margaret. She even complimented me as the best child in the list of other kids, she has met." She said as her eyes went to look innocently to look at the old lady standing at the side.

Sister Margaret smiled and looked at her. Then after a short moment nodded in 'yes'. But Li Xue knowing her daughter a little too well understood the real scenario behind the curtain.

This little pixie of hers knows well how to tempt people to get on her side. But who could she blame? Maybe it was her teachings that made her like this! How can she forget that her little one never did anything apart from the things she taught her? This was her devilic – obedient child!

Okay! All this while she forgot something important in the scene. Mr Beelzebub was still upset about something … or she could say he was upset because of her. Now it was her time to coax the man to get him back to his best.

She turned to say something to him but before she could voice out her words, Feng Shufen words came halting her back in her throat. "I have got some urgent work. I will be in my study for a little late tonight!"
