Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

When heard him, Li Xue's expression got filled with a guilty conscience for a second, but then recovering from it, she quickly shook her head to deny the accusation. "But Mr. Beelzebub, I don't have anything wild going in my head." She said and the man stared at her nonchalantly, without saying a word.

When he didn't speak for a while, reluctantly, Li Xue has to gaze down at the floor to accept. "Fine, I accept. I had something going in my thoughts. But I promise it will be nothing that would put me in trouble. I will also keep myself restricted under the line of safety. Will you agree to it now?" She asked blinking her eyes expectantly at him.

But Feng Shufen yet not replied to her words. He just stared at her with an expression of skepticism. Maybe he knew her too well to know that she won't be able to keep that one promise to him.

"Hey, Mr. Beelzebub. I already promised. Are you not going to believe me now?" She said before adding on, "Mr. Beelzebub, it had been already so tough for me to decide this. Now showing your disagreement, do you have to make it more tough for me. Agree to it, please." She said blinking her eyes like a puppy at him. She knew this might have a chance as even before that man had given in to her such expression.

Feng Shufen looked at her, for the first time, seemed unfazed by her adorable expression. Keeping his firmness in the situation, he suggested, "On one condition."

Li Xue smiled at the hope of chance and immediately rushed to hang on his arm. "I agree." She said and hearing her agree so easily, Feng Shufen turned to ask him with a hidden smile.

"You agree to it so easily. Don't you want to hear what is the condition about?" He asked and Li Xue smiled at him with confidence.

"Do I even have to ask? I know it must be related to my safety. After the recent happening, I don't think you would let me go with freedom so easily."

Feng Shufen's expression changed. His brows raised up with a bit of seriousness as he asked, "Are you complaining now?"

Measuring the depth of her loss from his mood change, Li Xue gave a sheepish smile before shaking her head. "Could I even dare that? And even if I dare, whom am I going to complain? You have become my everything. Even the punishing devil and also the guardian angel."

Feng Shufen internally shook his head. This woman has learned the tactics too well.

"You have to keep me included in your plans. Even if it means nominally. I wouldn't like to see you getting in trouble without my knowledge. And other than that, you won't be using any of your dangerous sources to search for any information you need. If you want to know anything or need anyone for assistance, ask Gao Fan for it. He will handle it for you. Will it be okay?"

He stated his condition before reconfirming her acceptance.

Though nothing seemed hard in those conditions on the surface, Li Xue knew that those two conjoined conditions weren't simple. It might restrict her too much in the boundaries. So, feeling a bit constricted with it, she thought to ask for a little concession. "But Mr. Beelzebub, can we …"

Feng Shufen didn't intend to hear her words. So, the moment, she started, he cut her words down to remind her. "If you have any problem with my condition, we can return back to where we were earlier."

He said and Li Xue pouted at him. "You are being unfair. Didn't you ask me if I was okay with it or not? And now that I was saying something, you didn't even listen to me."

"Didn't you agree to it all readily beforehand?" Feng Shufen retorted and Li Xue could only press her lips together to concede.

"I agree but you are being unfair." She said and then turned away like a spoiled pampered princess.

Feng Shufen stared at her. Though nothing revealed on his expression, he said, "Royal family isn't as simple as you think. If you try to get into their information without a powerful stance, they might come after you. So it would be only better if you ask Gao Fan's assistance in it." He explained and Li Xue understood where his concern was coming from.

Though she was still unaware of those people, she knew this one man very well. If he was saying that it would be best for her to be under his wing, he wouldn't be wrong to say that. Turning to smile slightly at him, she didn't retort more, "Why would I hesitate in using my husband's resources. Mr. Secretary's capabilities are top-notch without any doubt. With his help, I am sure it would only become easier for me to find the victory. I would have definitely agreed to it sooner or later."

She tried to ease the topic and Feng Shufen heard the twist in her words with lots of interest.

"Don't look at me like that, I am not lying. I would have agreed to it. It was just that I didn't like when you used your cunning trick to trap me. You always do that."

She said, making the man chuckled at her words.

"That's for I knew my wife is so strong that I might get useless for her if not kept her trapped in my spell." Feng Shufen said, tilting his head on one side before rubbing his chin.

Li Xue smiled. "Oh really? Am I that capable?"

"More than that."

Right when things between them settled, a cherry voice laced with a little sleep at the door drew their attention. "Mama, why didn't you wake me up? I needed to look after you in the evening."

Li Xue looked at the door, only to find her princess standing awake there, rubbing her eyes with a complaining pout on her lips.
