Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 371 - Plans to abolish another love rival.

Just when Li Xue was staring at the golden card in her hand, it was snatched away with a swoosh. Her eyes wrinkled with some confusion at first then widened, sending glares of accusation at him.

But to reply to those glares of accusation, the man simply chuckled and said in a grim tone, "With me by your side, do you think you are any poorer?"

When Li Xue heard his words, she almost rolled her eyes at him. "You …", pointing her finger, she was about to say something but the man did not let her.

Before she could add further meaning to her 'you', the man said, his eyes staring disdainfully at the golden card in his hand, "You won't need this with me around. So, this is just some useless thing they have offered to you. Leave it with me and I will send it back to them".

And just as his words got completed, the woman leapt forward to get the thing back in her hand but her speed lacked behind as her movements were long noticed by the man. Just when she thought that she would reach the card, the man pulled his hand up in the air, making it difficult for the woman to reach.

Li Xue puffed her cheeks up in annoyance. "Mr Beelzebub, that card was for me. And I never said that I want to return it?" she said, straining her head back to look at the man who was enjoying his height.

Feng Shufen looked down at her face when saw her leaping and jumping up and down in front of himself. "You don't want to return it, that means you want to have it? Seeing you outside, I thought that you weren't into the reward yet here you are so desperate about it. Have I missed something somewhere?"

Li Xue's movements stopped as she stepped back, detaching herself from him. "Mr Beelzebub, I think Director Qi is influencing you too much. You are getting into the habit of reading too much into the situation. I am just showing my liking to this shiny golden card, not the reward of gratefulness Her Highness was offering to me?"

Feng Shufen's brows got raised in amus.e.m.e.nt as he repeated, "Shiny Golden Card!" and Li Xue instantly nodded in agreement.

"Mhm – Hmm! Don't you know that women have a liking for these shiny things, like gold, diamonds and platinum?" She said, shrugged her shoulders back in nonchalance but then suddenly as if remembered something, she lunged forwards to grab the man daringly by his collar as she asked.

"Or is it like I have never been a woman in your eyes?"

Feng Shufen was taken aback by both her words and action. By the time he could understand her words, Li Xue had already drawn herself exceptionally close to him. Like a wife inquiring her husband about having an extramarital affair!

And seeing her like that was his favourite. Suppressing a satisfied chuckle within, Feng Shufen's arms went to wrap around her waist as he pressed her more into himself and asked. "What do you think?"

"Are you asking me?" Li Xue asked, squinting her eyes at him and the man nodded without showing any reluctance. "Then I will be honest with you. I don't think you consider me as one?"

That answer was something the man has not seen coming. He raised his brows in askance and Li Xue simply shrugged her shoulder showing the obviousness of the answer, "Isn't it already clear Mr Beelzebub. If you have seen me as one then …" She didn't complete her words.

Closing her eyes, she simply said, "Ahh, never mind! I think I am taking my tease too far with you. And if I exceed it from here on then I doubt that the result I am planning will just be opposite. It would not be you getting embarrassed rather me".

Feng Shufen was not dumb. He naturally understood what she was having in her thoughts and could not help but laugh.

When Li Xue heard the relatively loud rumble from his c.h.e.s.t, her big doe eyes shot up to look at him.

"Are you complaining about the progress in our relationship, Darling?" he asked, pausing in between his laughter. "If you are complaining, then we can do something about it".

Li Xue's face turned red instantly but she said, going just opposite to her reaction. "What are you talking about Mr Beelzebub? I never meant something like this. I have always liked someone like … Like …" Her words paused as she gave some thought to her own thoughts.

"Like?" The man teased, knowing that she was just bluffing around and might have nothing to say but right when he asked the woman answered.

"Someone like Edward?"

"Edward?" He asked with a puzzled expression. His expressions, getting all guarded on her face. His mind getting to back – read the details he has read in the file Gao Fan has provided him. Though he knew that she has visited several foreign countries because of her career, how could he get to miss this name behind? Why was the name 'Edward' not mentioned anywhere?

His brows soon furrowed as he made a note in his head to make Gao Fan learn to do the job properly. And just when he was about to plan the abolishment of a new arriving rival, the woman said with all the obviousness she had in herself.

"Edward Cullen! How can you not know him? The famous character from Stephenie Meyer's book, Twilight. I had always liked a man like him. Bella has even called him an old book, given to the traditional thoughts he had about relationsh.i.p.s".

It was then when he remembered that there was the smallest section in the file where it was mentioned that she had been a great fan of that novel and its adapted movie. At that time, he had not taken any great notice of it thinking that it was just some of her hobby – like but now seeing her chirping like a bird, he understood that he had miscalculated the things.

The man stared at her in an alienated manner and Li Xue could only open and close her mouth, once in shock, then in surprise. "Are you for real, Mr Beelzebub? You literally have not known about him? How could you? He was the man who took away every girl's breath just by his eyes"

Her words went on and on, explaining the exceptional beauty her eyes found in Edward. But she took a pause when felt his grip tightening bit by bit around her. Understanding what it was for she could not help but chuckle.

"Haha … Mr Beelzebub, are you feeling sour in your heart. If so then you don't have to feel something like that. Even though I love him, that was in the past and I cannot have him now as I have got you in my life as my precious treasure. I won't hook up with him, not like he has been waiting for me to come. He has got his Bella for that. And all my love and adoration are for you. There is no way I can bear to leave you for anyone".

She said as she tiptoed a little to peck his cheeks likely, though she wanted to reach his forehead.

"Mmm!" The man was finally satisfied, but somewhere in the corner of his heart, he made a promise to know this man more, although reading such romantic novels was not in his option of choice.
