Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

After Feng Yi Lan's call was disconnected, Feng Shufen's office room was already freezing, Qi Shuai tried his best to keep his calm but it was really becoming hard to breathe in there. "Shufen, you know Yi Lan likes to blabble sometime. She just …" Before he could say more, everything returned back to normal.

Feng Shufen's expression turned back to poker as looking at Gao Fan, he simply said, "Go on with this proposal. Tell them that we will accept these terms and nothing less." He said and Gao Fan nodded to him before taking back the file he had presented before.

Then giving a fleeting but meaningful gaze towards Qi Shuai, he left while giving a small bow of respect to Feng Shufen.

Feng Shufen returned back to his documents and Qi Shuai also understood his cue to return to his work as well. But just when he was about to take his steps back towards the sofa, he paused and turned back to look at his friend. Giving a thought, he turned on his heels before pulling out a chair in front of his desk and taking a seat in front of him.

Feng Shufen didn't bother looking at him but Qi Shuai had already made up his mind to speak. He understood the concern of Feng Yi Lan and to some point, he felt the same. But there was a point where his thoughts differed.

Feng Yi Lan thought Feng Shufen was being stubborn to stay away from Li Xue whereas he knew that his friend was just feeling guilty in his heart. Although it doesn't make sense, the man held pride all his life. How would he accept that the woman he loved with all his heart and life has suffered all the greatest pain in her life just because of him?

If seen in respect of Feng Shufen, Li Xue was suffering nothing at this point. Although she was suffering from temporary partial memory loss, she had everything she could rejoice in her life with. But Shufen was simply punishing himself for the sins that he had not even committed.

Keeping himself deliberately away from Li Xue was the punishment that must be giving him pain worse than death, yet he was having it all as if it was painless. Dedicating himself to the work he was trying his best to subdue the pain under the pressure of the Corporation and its success.

"Shufen, although I understand what you have been thinking all this while pulling yourself away from Li Xue, do you think this would be okay? Both of you loved each other. Although you didn't get time to talk to her after things happened that day, still do you really feel that she would hate you to the point of not seeing you again? Li Xue has loved you the same as you love her. She might not blame you actually. After all, that day she saw that you had also suffered and that you never played a part in the things that happened to her. There is no way after knowing the whole truth, she would hate you."

"Why don't you give it a try? Meet her. I am sure the more you meet her, the sooner she will remember you." Qi Shuai tried to change his mind but after getting the look of his friend, he knew that his words weren't going to work. But still, he continued.

Taking in a deep breath, he said, "That day when Li Xue was rescued from the site, although His Majesty has forbidden you from seeing her, that was just at the spur of the moment. He was the father who saw his daughter in that condition, he said what he deemed fit but his words couldn't particularly restrain you from meeting her. The doctor said that Li Xue's memory could return at any time. Do you think she would forgive you if after remembering everything, she came to know that you left her just like that? Gave up on her when she was suffering from a small memory loss?"

"She deserves better." That was all Feng Shufen said after hearing Qi Shuai say everything.

Qi Shuai couldn't help but be speechless at his reason. Sighing, he felt there was nothing more to say. So, in the end, he added his last words of advice as he stood up from the chair to say, "Shufen, Li Xue is still married to you. You both have signed the certificate by law already and even have a daughter. After having all these, do you feel like it's okay to let a pesky fly take away your woman? Will you be okay seeing her with him?" He asked but didn't remain seated to hear his reply.

Feng Shufen looked at him. His expression showed a hint of complication. Before he could say something, Qi Shuai spoke on his behalf. "Got it. You must think that would be okay as long as she is happy. Fine, then let's wait and see how beautifully Bai Yuchen pursues her. If Yi Lan has said that he has been diligent in his ways, you will hear about their relationship soon."

He said and then turned to walk back to the couch where he was working. Feng Shufen's expressions became complex.

While on the other side, Li Xue gave a few last poses to the photographer before finally returning to change her dress. With this, the project that she signed with L.S Cosmetics has finally gotten over.

"Sister Xue, are you feeling fine?" Xiao Meng asked when she saw Li Xue wiping off her sweat after coming out of the dressing room. Since Li Xue joined the work quite early, Lin Xinyi has particularly made Xiao Meng look after her. Even an extra breath will make the assistant ask about her health.

Li Xue has gotten used to it already. So, when she asked, she smiled and shook her head, "I am fine, Meng Meng. The weather today is just making me feel a bit sweaty, nothing else."

She said and right then, someone extended out a packed bottle of ice tea to her. Li Xue was momentarily stunned. Turning, she looked and her lips curled up in a smile as she greeted, "CEO Bai! I didn't expect to see you here. I thought you were having a meeting back in your office."
