Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 291 - Forgotten title of endearment.

Wen Sying bit her lips thinking that might be she has over paced her plans with Zheng Wenting. She was about to apologize and retreat, thinking that she would find some other time to hit this topic back, but before she could say anything the man said in a little deep tone.

"I am sorry, Sying! I never knew that you were suffering so much because of my negligence". Though his words were intended to apologize, guilt was the last thing in her attitude and eyes. Hearing him rather felt like he was quite angry for something which was definitely not for her loss.

But the woman was too dumb to understand this or maybe have never cared about something like this. She just shook her head and said simply, "What are you apologizing for, Wenting? It's not your fault. It has always been me who has made things tough for you".

This was it. The thing that the man has always wanted in his woman's attitude. Something that Li Xue never had in her behaviour. She has never been a submissive type. Never cared to apologize if the fault was not hers, not even after knowing that men were the personalities whose ego never allowed them to forward an apology, she has always been the first one to point to Wenting's faults.

But his Sying was different. His heart instantly melted when he heard her. Pulling her into a hug, he said, "You don't have to think too much. Now leave the things in my hand and everything will eventually get fine. Believe me!"

Wen Sying smiled victoriously as her face remained hidden into his c.h.e.s.t. 'Finally! It was tough but not an impossible thing!" she remarked herself in her head as shifted her arms a little more comfortable around him.

"Are you happy now?" he asked and she nodded but then again pulling herself a little away, she questioned with some hidden doubt that can easily be mistaken for its meaning.

"Wenting, what about Li Xue? You are helping her out?"

The man looked at her face for some time and then nodded. "I have some plans in my head. Don't worry, leave everything to my hand. You just be happy and let yourself realize how good boyfriend I am to you"

Wen Sying blushed and said instantly, "Why should I give time to myself to realize this when I already know the answer. No doubt I have got the best one in this world."

She said and the man's expressions instantly lifted to give a deep smug.

Back in the hospital,

When Qi Shuai entered back to the room, Yi Lan was still on the call with Su Fai. His expressions got smoothened when he saw that she was not looking as bad as before. Maybe the person on the call has helped her lift her mood and forget the things that happened before.

Yi Lan too noticed him entering back in the room but did not pay much heed to him. She continued the call as the man strolled in to take his place at the seat on the visitor's couch at the side.

"Now, I am a lot better than before. You don't need to worry for me too much, Su Fai" she said as her eyes went to look at the man at a distance.

Hearing her mention the name of Su Fai, Qi Shuai looked at her for a moment but soon went back to his own work, as if that name had not put him on the edge moments before.

His sudden behavior change made the woman rattled up in her thoughts too. What happened to him suddenly? Wasn't he getting tortured with Su Fai's name a few moments ago? Then why was he so calm and nonchalant now?

Her childishness was getting her best. The pranks which she was pulling were none less than the ones a kid pulls off to get the attention of his parents.

"Ahh … you don't have to come here to the hospital to see me, Su Fai! Director Qi is still here keeping my boredom companied. And I am soon getting discharged, so you can come home to visit me. I would love it if you could spend some time with me … making some space for me in your busy schedule."

She said, her gaze trailing back & forth the man. Her nerves clenching tight, provoking her haughty self to lash out at him, witnessing his weird calmness.

That was it! She was on the edge of losing her sober control when suddenly the man looked up at her.

Her lips curled to give a smile of obviousness to him. But it soon got pulled into a straight line when she heard him ask, "What? Do you need anything? You are continuously looking here and there. Is the guy on the call boring you to such an extent?"

He asked with a slight pull of smirk on his lips and those words instantly got under Yi Lan's skin. "Whom are you calling as a boring guy? He is not boring me, rather you, not – so – handsome face is doing so. Hmph!"

Qi Shuai suppressed laughter from breaking. Did she really think that she could dupe him with these silly, childish tricks of hers? How can she forget that he has seen all her ways?

"Really? Your eyes are not saying so, Princess!", he said, and Feng Yi Lan instantly felt her breath getting hitched.

That name of endearment … Why did he suddenly start calling her back with that name?

Her thoughts became a mess as she lost the track of the things Su Fai was saying on the other side.

"Yi Lan! Yi Lan" The man on the other side of the phone called when did not hear her responding to his words.

But Yi Lan was too much wrapped in her thoughts to be able to get any of his words. "Su Fai, let me call you back after some time." She said and quickly disconnected the call.

"Whoa! What happened, Princess? I thought you still had talked to complete. Never knew that you would choose to leave your perfect guy on hold to have a word with me. Should I feel privileged and honoured?"?He asked, giving the same smile to her that has always made her feel butterflies in the past.

Frowning a little at his changed attitude, Yi Lan boomed, "Director Qi, what's with you? Why are you getting back to the title which we both have forgotten long years ago?"

Qi Shuai's smile only deepened at his words as he continued, "Forgotten? When did I? I can never forget the title which I gave you with so much love. Just wasn't able to find the time to again start calling you with it. Seems like the title itself found its time today. Furthermore, this title is quite suitable for you. Don't you feel the same?"
