Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved



The moment Shin You Jun heard Li Xue words; he paused in his steps before turning to ask her in a slight raised voice. "What do you mean by that? Are you skeptical about it?" 

Whispers filled the air slowly, but soon everyone started talking about it. 

Li Xue had murmured those words under her breath but she never thought that the words of her heart was so loud that even after keeping it low, the two men by her side would hear it easily. When she heard Shin You Jun ask that loud, she could help but feel struck with lightning. For some reason, she felt embarrassed. Her face turned red while she looked at the Shin You Jun with confused jutted brows. 

Seeing her like that, Shin You Jun asked her again, "Why are you looking like that? Just answer it in yes or no." 

He asked and Li Xue nodded, "No. I …" 

Before she could even complete her words, being impatient, he assumed and spoke on his own. "No, you don't want." And Li Xue almost stopped herself for stomping on his feet. Clenching her jaws, she gave a hard smile and was about to clarify when she felt a warm pat on her hands. 

She turned to look and her gaze met with her father's. His eyes held an assurance when he said, "If you want to back out now, I will support you." His assurance was so warm that Li Xue didn't know whether she should laugh or cry. 

How did things turn out like this? She was just holding the disbelief in herself. How did they think…

Her eyes darted to look at Feng Shufen at the other end of the room and the frigid expression on his face was enough to tell her that he was at the edge of his patience. If not solved the confusion, he might even get down the stage to get her on his own. 

No, no that would make a big headline tomorrow. Li Xue shook her head at the thought and the moment she did, she turned to look back at her father and said a very confident voice. Loud enough for everyone to hear. "Father, I have waited my entire life dreaming to take these steps towards him. How can I think of backing out now?" 

She said and the confident smile on her face was enough to believe. Shin Tingming nodded, looking at her. Then turning back to look at the stage, they started their walk. 

They had walked just a few steps when Shin You Jun also dashed after to catch them. When he was again parallel to Li Xue, he said, "Hey! Can you be sure next time? You almost scared my brother-in-law there. He looked like he would bring a typhoon the next second if you don't get up the stage." 

He said and Li Xue gave a sharp gaze to him. "I don't know about the typhoon. But believe me if I wouldn't have helped you solving the mess you created then sure you would have seen the worst here today."  Thᴇ link to the origin of this information rᴇsts in Novᴇ(l)Fɪre.net

"What did I create?" Shin You Jun asked like he was offended but his jutted brows at once got normal when Li Xue gave him a side glance. He coughed and Li Xue simply smirked, knowing that her little brother understood what she was trying to say.

"It's fine. Don't think too much now. Being your sister, it was my duty to save you from your miseries." She spoke. And before Shin You Jun could retaliate her words, he saw a beautiful smile lifting up the corner of her lips. 

His eyes darted to her hands that she placed readily in the hands of the man who extended it for her to take. Was it so simple? To put all the trust in someone? As far as Shin You Jun knew, it wasn't. But then again, he was sure, the trust that Li Xue held i  her heart for Feng Shufen didn't come easy. They must have experienced a lot together to come to this point. And now that they were there, it was understandable why so easily she had put all of her to him. 

Li Xue's eyes locked with Feng Shufen's while he held her with utmost love and care. Shin Tinming saw them and taking a deep breath in heart, he patted both of their hands together. "I bless you both to be together through good and bad." Then turning to Feng Shufen, he added, "I might be giving her hand to you today. But she will always be ours. We as her parents and family will always be backing her up - with you and even against you." 

His words were not just the words; Feng Shufen knew them well. So, when he heard the man say that, he nodded to him with utmost sincerity. "I will protect her with my life and serve her with all my best." He said and at the same time the clouds outside roar as if they were vouching for his each and every word. 

Shin Tingming might have his own thoughts about Feng Shufen. But he was very sure of one thing about him. He loved his daughter more than his life. In the past, he might have stayed stubborn to keep them away but over time he got to understand how wrong he was to do that. 

Giving a nod ti his words, Shin Tingming stepped aside and then gave a gesture to Shin You Jun, asking him to get back to his position on the side. Noting the order of his father, Shin You Jun gave a slight nod and then both of them walked aside to take the stand beside Chen Rui.

Under the gazer of everyone, soon Li Xue climbed up the stage. "Earlier, were you scared, Mr. Beelzebub?" Li Xue asked, raising her one brow slightly. "Scared that I might run off." The smile of tease playing on the corner of her lips. That smile was very soft and sensual. 

The moment Feng Shufen saw that, his eyes went dark with an emotion that made Li Xue stiffen in her stance. She felt his fingers writing something under her palms. Although the movement on her palms felt like a soft caress, she read it well with her sense. Her throat ran dry and before she could speak anything, she heard him say, "I was scared but not for what you thought, but rather of what you are thinking now, darling."
