Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

While WeiWei sat politely between her parents, looking ahead at the road, focusing on remembering the route; Li Xue was continuously sneaking peeks at Feng Shufen from her side. Her eyes were shining with a glimmer that was showing both confusion as well as contentment.

Du Fan could see that as well and he was sure his Young Master was also aware of the lady's glances. But what was keeping him anticipated at the scene was the silence.

It might look simple but deep down he could see an interesting story within. After all, this was the first time he was seeing the Young Master keeping the lady in confusion for so long and enjoying her small glances from time to time.

Du Fan's eyes turned to look at Li Xue. He could tell that her patience would not be lasting for long. She already looked at the brink of losing it. It was not hard to tell how good the Young Master was to bring the people to the edge. The lady was still the strictest he has come to know till date, otherwise, no one else has ever been capable to hold so long.

As expected, their Madam was exceptional. Who else could match her charms?

Du Fan was internally hailing the name of Li Xue when he saw her turning to look directly at Feng Shufen. Her patience, getting thinned almost reaching the silver line.

"Hey, Mr. Beelzebub! Are you doing this purposely? Can't you see that I am stealing glances of you? Won't you ask what is it all about?" Li Xue asked, pouting a little. Her voice, holding the irritation she was feeling within due to the man's deliberate ignorance.

Hearing her mother suddenly asking that, WeiWei, whose gaze remained at the road all the time, turned to look at her in confusion. Her lips, pouting a little as well but in perplexion. Slowly tilting her head on both sides she examined her Mama's expressions minutely, before turning herself back to revert her gaze at the road.

"Mama is a little unhappy about Daddy Angel's ignorance. But it will be fine soon. Nothing is there to worry". The little girl said to no one in particular but it resounded well to let everyone understand the situation. Her contemplation came so quickly that even Du Fan was surprised to see that. But then given how sweet and obedient daughter she was to her mother, her quick understanding of Li Xue's expression was understandable.

Li Xue didn't mind her daughter's sudden words. She knew her little devil has got a habit to read her expressions and then announce them to the whole world. At the moment she has not got a problem with that, rather what was seeming problematic to her was the man's deliberate ignorance just to prick her.

"Mr. Beelzebub, I am asking again. I am stealing your glances here, won't you ask me the reason behind it". She repeated again. This time slowly emphasizing every single word she spoke.

Feng Shufen turned to look at her. His expressions were clearly nonchalant. "You want me to ask you?" He asked in return like even if he asked the question it won't remain his intention to know the answer.

Li Xue's lips pressed together. "Generally, people ask when they find people stealing glances of them".

Wasn't it common to ask? Then why was this man like this? Can't he for once act as common people do?

"Stealing could attract people's attention. But inspecting one's own possession doesn't attract".

Feng Shufen said casually, without giving any change in expression, and at those words, Li Xue could not help but be speechless. At the front, even Du Fan choked on his breath. Though he has gotten already used to the high brand dog food, still every time it was served, he felt something unexpected. Might be because he was still unused to accept this side of his Young Master.

Li Xue was experiencing no less. Getting speechless at such honeyed words of the man, she has already grown used to it but still, every time she hears him say things like this, she could not help but feel her heart skip a beat at it.

"Fine, Mr. Beelzebub, I was not stealing but inspecting. But still won't you ask me what this inspection is all about? Even if you don't have interest, you still should ask me, given that's how things go. So, come on, be quick to ask me now that you have known rules". She said, not holding her patience any longer.

Feng Shufen smiled. Seeing her like this, a sense of achievement fills his heart, knowing well that this was the side that only comes from her when she sits around him. A side of her that was full of innocence, childishness, and adorableness.

"What is it about?" Not teasing her desperation more, he finally asked. His face leisurely resting over his arm that was taking the support of his knees.

Satisfied with his words, Li Xue took a deep breath in while she asked, "What changed so suddenly?".

Feng Shufen's brows raised as he looked at her, to which the woman explained her words more descriptively, "I mean, last time when I knew you were kind of not in favor of seeing anyone from the Royal family. Then today, why did you let me accept the gifts Her Highness sent me? I thought you would just ask me to not go too personal and return them back. Did something happen that changed your perception?"

Feng Shufen stared at her. His eyes were all blank. Li Xue looked at him. She knew he had answers to her questions but for some reason, she was just unable to read them in his eyes.

"Mr. Beelzebub …"

"How could I reject the gifts coming from my in-laws?" Feng Shufen replied and his words at once made Li Xue knit her brows. For a moment, she thought it to be some joke but then she realized that the man was not the kind of person to joke. Then what does that mean?
