Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Li Xue couldn't believe it. Things that happened started flashing in front of her eyes as she remembered how she first saw the person in the hospital and donated her blood. She remembered how slowly their relationship developed.

To say that she was happy to know all this would be false. Because happiness was the last thing she felt in her heart. There was a past she wanted to blame someone for, but a part of her also knew that not exactly that person was responsible for the things. Then how could she blame him?

A part of her wanted her to be childish and blame the person for everything. But then the rational side of her was showing her the facts and love she had known and received in all those previous days. After all, she couldn't be wrong to differentiate the genuine sincerity from its opposite half. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novelenglish.net . Firᴇ.net - novelenglish.net . bin

"Mr. Beelzebub, thank you for not letting me know this before." After a while, Li Xue spoke before finally turning to give him a smile. Though her smile was not full of happiness, at least there were no painful strings attached to it. "If you have told me this before then I might not be able to be comfortable with them as I am now." She added with more description.

Though Feng Shufen heard her, he didn't intend to notice the words that came out of her lips. Instead, he asked, "Do you blame him?"

Li Xue paused for a moment and then shrugging her shoulders, she said casually, "How could I blame him when he was also a victim of the woman who ruined everything? Liu Hua was the main culprit; other than her no one was to be blamed for the things. Furthermore, if in place of His Majesty you would have been there, haven't you done the same?"

She said and in no second delay, he said, "I could never be in his position." The firmness in his words almost made Li Xue chuckle and raise her brows at him.

"Really? How could that be sure? Even if I don't know the story from the past, I know whatever happened was an accident. And accidents could happen with anyone. You or even me. Otherwise, how could it be called an accident."

Feng Shufen's expression turned serious. "I would never leave you alone even if you ask me to. To me, you would be more important than the baby whom I have yet to see in the world." He said and Li Xue's brows tugged together in confusion, unable to understand the context.

But giving some mind, she vaguely realized what could be the possibilities in those words. "You mean everything happened when Ma asked His Majesty to leave her?"

"In that year, someone plotted for Her Highness miscarriage. Facing the mishap when she was broken, the couple decided to give each other some space and that was where things went wrong." Feng Shufen didn't detail the story too much, but whatever he said the plot became all clear in Li Xue's imagination.

"I see." She nodded in understanding as internally she could already imagine what could be the circumstances they must be facing at that time. She couldn't believe that Liu Hua could be so shameless to use that weak situation of someone to her benefit.

When she was thinking all that, she suddenly remembered Chen Rui calling her the daughter she never had. Now she understands what meaning she held when she said that to her. Though it still sounded a bit superficial, based on the love and support she received from the woman, she couldn't doubt her intentions.

"Mr. Beelzebub, can I ask you something?"

Feng Shufen gave her a look but then nodded. To which, keeping ease in expression, she continued, "What do you think of me getting added to the royal family tree? Do you think they are just compensating me for what I have lost in the past? Are they showing me the sympathy?"

Though Li Xue had her thoughts on the matter, she simply doesn't want to depend on her own thoughts. She wanted to recheck with others to see if there was any other scenario, she was missing out?

"That depends." Feng Shufen nonchalantly said. Leaning back on his chain a bit comfortably, he looked at Li Xue's confused expression. "That depends how you see yourself in the picture and how you imagine them in the scenario. Are you someone who needs someone's sympathy? Or have you ever felt them compensating you for the past?"

He asked and Li Xue shook her head after giving a quick thought to the things. Though the question Shufen asked needed a detailed analysis, still as if she already knew it, she denied the moment he asked. And in her expression of denial, there was a confidence that wordlessly revealed a lot of things that she might not be able to reveal on front.

Feng Shufen has long known those wordless words. That's why when she grew closer to the family, he never interrupted. Not because he felt like that was important. But for he knew that for once she also deserved the pair of parents who would stand by her to give her genuine love and care.

"So, are you going to agree to their request?" Feng Shufen asked and Li Xue looked skeptically at him.

"I don't know. Though I don't blame them, I still feel that I would need time to accept him as my father. Will registering myself under the royal family tree give that time to me? I don't know." She said and was about to get up to leave when Feng Shufen paused her, holding her by her arms.

"Are you sure your thoughts are that simple?" He asked. His words held meaning that was hard to decipher but Li Xue knew what he meant similarly how he knew that her concern wasn't as simple as she stated in her previous statement.

"Mr. Beelzebub, I will give it some thought. Right now, I think I should go and take my medicines first. Sister Margaret must have already kept it prepared."

Feng Shufen let go of her arms but his words followed after. "Fine, go and take your medicines. I would just say that sometimes avoiding things doesn't bring better. In the royal family, the information doesn't take time to find ears. Even if you don't want the things to complicate for His and Her Highness, it might have already begun."

He said and Li Xue turned to look at him with a mixed expression.
