Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

The day ended soon as after getting the answers from Feng Yu Hao, the relatives no longer dared to question more. Though before they have been confident with everything they did, but after having such a close chat with the patriarch, they got to understand how much they have overestimated their capabilities.

"Now are you going to tell me what was that all about?" After getting Yi Lan settled on the passenger seat, Qi Shuai asked, turning to look at Feng Yi Lan. But the girl was all consumed by her joy.

In her happiness, she didn't care to look into the matter Qi Shuai was asking for, instead, she remained all engrossed in her own plans while pushing the importance of the matter aside. "Brother Shuai, hasn't it turned out well at the end? Earlier when this gathering was put and I got the invitation, I was not in the mood to come here as well. But since the day was about Li Xue, I made my plans of appearance."

"And thanks to the heavens, I did. Otherwise, how would our relationship had turned out this way." She chimed with excitement as turning to the man on the side she almost jumped with a glimmer in her eyes. "Don't you think so?"

Qi Shuai didn't reply, instead, pressed his lips together at her, showing his reluctance to discuss this matter first. Although he was also happy with how things turned out, still amidst that happiness, he knew that he couldn't push the thing he wanted to know. After all, he was sure that out of blue, Feng Yi Lan would never come forward to announce their relationship like this. Something must have forced her up into this.

And he wanted to know what it was.

Feng Yi Lan felt his displeasure and her expression changed considerably. "What happened? Are you upset with me, Brother Shuai? Upset with how things turned out today? Do you not want to marry me yet?" ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet - novelenglish.net . bin

Several questions popped up in her head and she didn't hesitate in asking them as those questions were something that mattered to her. She knew in announcing their relationship like that, she had been childish to some extent. And it was also understandable if Qi Shuai was not pleased with it now. But what could she do now? She doesn't want to lose him, neither back then nor in the future.

Qi Shuai looked at her and understood her concern. He didn't mean to scare her, so shaking his head first, he eased her riled-up nerves. "What are you even thinking, LanLan? Why would I be upset? Even though I have plans to bring the announcements of our relationship properly to your family which got ruined after today, I am still not upset with you. I am just concerned about the things that forced you to reveal it today like that. So will you tell me what is it?"

He asked patiently, looking into her eyes. His hands reached out hers with his fingers drawing circles on her skin to ease her down.

Feng Yi Lan blinked her eyes as she stared deep into his pairs. It was a soothing sight for her which calmed all her worries, bringing her back to where she was. Since she was snapped out from her hyped-up phase, she understood well what the man was asking her. And hiding the truth from him was not her plan. After all, her pretentious relationship with the woman who has birthed her was not a secret she has kept hidden from him.

So, when he asked for it, she took her time but revealed it. "My mother." She worded out, faintly but loud enough to let him hear, on whom she was blaming things.

Qi Shuai's brows quirked up as looking up at her, he repeated with some surprise, "Your mother?"

To which Feng Yi Lan nodded. "Yes, she was again planning something. Though I am not sure, I can still tell after knowing her for decades now. She wanted me to go to Emerald Grande to meet someone she arranged as my blind date. She said once I meet him in the evening, she would discuss my wedding with him with my father at night." She said as she turned to look out of the window, trying to hide how terrible she was feeling again realizing the selfish side of her mother.

But little did she know that even she tried to hide, Qi Shuai had known her for enough years to see through all her secret emotions.

Holding her emotions in, Feng Yi Lan turned back to look at the man with her lips slightly curled, "I got unlucky with my mother but I don't want to turn out to be unlucky with you as well. I didn't want to lose you so in my childishness I did what I thought to be right. I have been unfair to you but …"

Before she could finish her words of explanation, Qi Shuai reached out to pull her from the back of her neck, crashing his lips onto hers, sealing the rest of her words all back from where it was coming from. Their kiss started with restriction but soon had turned all eased and comfortable as it proceeded.

Feng Yi Lan almost lost her pains in that sensual touch and only when Qi Shuai was sure of her forgetting about the matter, he pulled away, to say, "You weren't childish. Your retaliation came perfectly, not giving your opponent a chance to think. Thank you!" He said and the woman raised her brows at him.

"Thank you?"

Qi Shuai nodded. "Yes, I am grateful that you saved me from losing you for the second time. I can't even think of myself without you now." He said and Feng Yi Lan blushed at his words.

"Hehe … it's okay. Even my mother, I can't let her toy with two important people in my life. I had to do what I did." She said and getting a bit confused at her chosen words, Qi Shuai asked.

"Two? I am one out of that 'two', I am sure of it. But who is the other?" He asked and Feng Yi Lan casually replied.

"The other one is Li Xue, of course, my mother doesn't like her too much. And now that she has gotten into our family becoming my Sister-in-law. My mother is on the verge of losing her all. She could no longer contain herself." She said and Qi Shuai frowned at the new discovery in his search.

Zhen Qinrou was not an easy woman. He knew but the more he discovered about her, the more he found her dangerous. Since she has not had a good liking of Li Xue now, he could only be on a good alert to see what the woman could do to aim at her.

"LanLan, since your mother doesn't like Xiao Xue. Could you guess what she could plan against her?" He asked nonchalantly; to which Feng Yi Lan didn't hold back but revealed.

"What more could I expect her to do? Her actions always overrule my expectations. Same as today, I never expected her to get along with relatives to get Zhang Xiaotong into the family.. Luckily my brother had plans in defense of his relationship with Li Xue, otherwise, it would have turned hard for my girl, definitely."
