Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 783 - Unfolding shades of President Feng.

Almost at midnight, when Feng Shufen didn't find the two in the room, he looked around only to find them sleeping peacefully on the hammock garden swing under the soothing winds. His eyes that were holding the iciness from all the time at once melted the moment it touched their figures at a distance.

Slowly taking the stroll towards them, his lips curled up when saw the two sleeping in each other's arms with a dr.a.p.ed blanket over them. Little Li Wei wrapping her arms and body totally over her mother while Li Xue gently keeping her under her arms like a mummy bird wraps her kids under her wings, tugging it close to give her warmth.??

Feng Shufen's eyes paused at them as it slowly and slowly again went cold with some thought. He might be the reason the woman suffered in the past. Though the little piece was by his side now, still her presence now wouldn't be able to wipe away the time he has lost in her childhood. Even not at fault, he would not be able to bring himself to think as an innocent amid everything that happened in the past.

The more those thoughts crossed his mind, the more he felt the guilt. His fingers clenching tighter to hold it within but however, he tried he wasn't able to keep it within. For the first time in his life, there was a fear creeping into his heart. The fear that was telling him that he might lose the ones he treasures in his life. And that warning coming from his inner self was kind of scaring him to the core.

He might have not discovered it in the past but now he has known that he has grown a strength that's also his weakness at times. And at no cost, he could bear to see her going away with resentment in her heart.

He was pondering and trancing away in his own thoughts when suddenly soft-touch onto his skin snapped him out of it. His eyes looked down only to find Li Xue holding him and tugging him slightly for his attention.

"What are you thinking so deeply?" Li Xue asked. It's been quite some time since she has been watching him to know that he was deep in his thoughts where he was blaming himself for something.

Feng Shufen shook his head to nothingness and his reply only made Li Xue purse her lips in response. Maybe because she could read the secret in his eyes. A secret that she could see him desperate to tell but at the same time holding back thinking of the consequences it would be bringing. That was so not like him.

But Li Xue as well didn't probe him. Since he was holding back to reveal it to her, then she would be patient as well to wait for him. Same as he was always for her. Patient and understanding!

"Did you complete your work?" She asked, slowly and carefully getting up in respect to not wake the baby up with her.

Feng Shufen nodded. "Mhm. It took a little late but it's done". He said before bending down to dr.a.p.e WeiWei back properly with the blanket. In the process of Li Xue sitting up, the blanket became a little mess, uncovering the little body from the side.

Li Xue smiled looking at him like that before leaning forward to peck his cheek out of blue. The man paused in his movement. He was still leaned halfway when that kiss came out of nowhere, startling him for a short moment. But his expression of surprise recovered soon as he proper-ed the blanket before turning to look at the woman.

"That kiss was …" He was about to ask but Li Xue interrupted him with her own words.

"That wasn't a kiss but just a small peck of love and gratitude. There's a difference. Don't make it sound the same. Furthermore, it's already late. Aren't you hungry? If you are not, I am still very much hungry. Let's go grab dinner first, we will discuss the other things later".

She said, quickly getting off to walk away. With the past experiences, teasing the Devil has not come easy on her, and yet she could not help but provoke him at such late night. Since she has already created a mess, in no way she would sit there to wait and see the unfolding shades of President Feng.

"Mr. Beelzebub, that was my mistake …" Thinking of something else, Li Xue was ready to apologize before running off but her words were cut off with suspicion.

"Did you not have your dinner yet?" Feng Shufen's brows tugged into the frown when realized what must have gone behind his back.

Li Xue's forehead also wrinkled. But there was no severeness in her expression. She was just surprised to see the man frowning at such a small topic. "Aiyaah! You were busy with work and I didn't want to disturb you in it. So I was waiting here for you to complete your work so that we could have it together. When did I start having my dinner alone, especially when you are at home? Of course, I haven't had it yet. Let's go and grab something first. I am hungry already".

She said, tugging on his arms but behind her, the expressions on Feng Shufen's face only turned frostier. He didn't even move from his place rather stayed rooted in his position. When Li Xue felt him unmoving, she turned to ask, "What? Are you not coming?"

Feng Shufen shook his head in denial. "It's slightly cold outside. Let me carry WeiWei to her room, it might get uncomfortable for her later." He said before getting down to get the little one in his arms.

Li Xue felt something amiss in his attitude but she didn't mind. She was just confused why it had been so late but none came to wake her up for the dinner? Didn't she ask Wu Jiaqi to inform her the moment the dinner was ready?

Thinking that way, she thought to ask her the next day. But little did she expect that she won't be getting any chance later to see the woman at home anymore.
