Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 260 - Face deeply engraved in her heart.

Outside the restaurant,

"Yi Lan, you are still a savage. Really! I am impressed", Su Fai said, stopping in the middle of the way, giving a heartfelt laugh. His hands were upon his h.i.p.s. The beams of blazing sunlight of the afternoon sun were giving a warm tone to his fair complexion, making him look slightly honeyed.

Not to say, his beauty did have some difference from the crowds that will definitely make women turn twice to take a look at him. One glance at his manly figure and Feng Yi Lan really felt why she has always ignored the charms of this man's personality before.

Maybe that happens when you already have a face deeply engraved in your heart that no matter how admirable personality stands in front of you, it would simply not be capable to waver your heart.

"Aye … who wants to impress you? Go and find someone better. I am not at all interested", she said twitching her lips, as she took her steps closer to man. The conversation between them has always been light, more like friendly but the ambiguous air it held might lead to certain misunderstanding if a person takes it in a different light.

Like if some forces themselves to think them as a couple then the conversation between the two could support the logic.

"Haha … Not so funny. There can be no one as good as you. So I better not waste my efforts when I already have a lady in front of me", Su Fai said, giving a kiddish wink to her then suddenly asking in a slightly serious tone.

"By the way inside, I guess you were not joking, right? Because my words were definitely not out of play. I was being serious about it".

Feng Yi Lan raised her eyes at him and the man instantly explained. "Of course, I was being serious inside. You know I have newly started a fashion model management agency two years back, how can I joke around my business like this? You better not say that all those words inside were just out of prank. My weak heart will not be able to take it. I have already put my plans to get the success from Li Xue's comeback "

He said putting his hand up to clutch his chest and then added, "Yesterday night too … when I stated my dream in front of Li Xue, …"

"Huh? Dream? Was this the dream you were talking about yesterday?" Yi Lan was suddenly dumbfounded at the revelation. She asked it directly and the man instantly nodded in the agreement.

"Of course! What else do you think?"

"Nothing! What better could I even think when you are the one involved in the question? My fault that I even had such high expectations on you". She said, shaking her head in disappointment.

Last night when he mentioned that dream, she thought he was confessing his feelings for Li Xue. She has even sung such high praises for him in her head. But all this time it was just her mere assumption that was far from the actual reality.

Su Fai was all confused at her words and was about to say something but before he could, Yi Lan said on her own. "What I said inside? I, myself, am not sure about it. You know how things happen when Li Xue gets stubborn. She will simply not listen to me or anyone else."

"So?"

"So, for now, you go back to your company and I will also go back home. After this drama inside, I don't think I can go to my boutique and look after my works. The sickly sweet woman inside really drained out all my good and positive energies. Now I need to build them up again. I will go back, sit and try out the meditation … try to strengthen the 'chi' inside me again".

[**Chi: can be described as a vital life force energy, a balance of Yin and Yang. To become a joyous healthy and happy human being, one needs to become a dynamic and harmonious mixture of all aspects of chi]

She said and turned again to move away but due to some bad footing her ankle twisted and she almost took a fall on the ground. But at a right moment, Su Fai's arms supported her, bringing her back on the firm and stable footing.

"Are you fine?" He asked with some concern and Yi Lan instantly nodded. Thanks to God's grace that she did not fall or else it would have become …

Suddenly, her thoughts halted as her internal instincts made her look towards a certain direction a little far away. She felt someone's piercing gaze at some distance but when looked there was no one.

Shrugging her meaningless thoughts away, she pulled herself straight and assured the man with her words. "Thanks for preventing me from falling. But I am all fine. Now I think I should make a move and you too don't have to keep your work at hold. Next time when we meet, we will find a way to convince Xue"

She said and Su Fai too nodded to her words. Feng Yi Lan smiled and was about to turn but the moment she moved, a painful wince let out from her lips, making her clutch the man's shoulders tightly. "Ouch!"

"What happened? You're fine?" Su Fai looked at her and then his eyes went to trail towards her feet.

"Ahh … I think I twisted my feet before. And now these heels made it worse", she said. With her expressions, her pain was perfectly visible.

"Oh … Okay I will take you to the hospital first," Su Fai said and was about to support her towards his car but right at this moment, his phone rang.

Supporting her through her waist, he picked the call. "Hello, Cindy!" he replied.

"No, cancel it. I won't be able to make it. I have some personal work to attend to at this moment" he said again on the response of the words from his secretary on the other side.

"I said … cancel it. Do I need to tell you again?" his words got firm at the end and before he could continue it, Feng Yi Lan snatched away the phone from his ears and said, "Cindy, right? Don't need to cancel anything. Prepare the thing and I will make your Boss get on his way soon!"

She said and then directly disconnected the call, giving a pursed expression to the man. "Yi Lan, what did you do? At this moment, taking you to the hospital is more important, not any meeting"

"Haha … we are not back in our school. You don't need to become my Bear Knight here, okay? Just help me get to my car and rest I can manage. I am not a weak – fragile girl who will not be able to take this simple thing" she said with an easy smile but piercing pain in ankle was simply not letting it rule.

"Yi Lan, don't be stubborn. Let me take you to the doctor first, okay? Your foot is not looking in any good condition" Su Fai said, pressing his lips together.

"I said no need. I can manage. You go back and attend your meeting. This is a little sprain and I have handled the worst".

"Yi Lan, …"

Right at this moment, a voice from behind interrupted. "Mr Su, it's okay. I can take Yi Lan to the doctor, I don't have any work. You can go and attend your things". Saying those words, the man did not stop, rather directly made his way in front of Yi Lan.

Then bending down on his knees, he said with some dominance and concern while undoing the lace of her sandals. "What are you doing? Your foot is already in this condition and you are still wearing these heels. Quickly, get this off!".
