Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 221 - Li Xue, I believe you.

For the whole dinner, Li Xue was just gazing at the tender side of the man. No doubt, this special soft side was all unknown to the world. Every time he placed the vegetable in the bowl of her daughter, she felt him touching her heart.

Was any man even capable of being this soft and tender? What did she do to deserve such a perfect man in her life?

Seeing him with her darling sweetie, no one can tell that he was not her father rather just a stranger whom she has met accidentally, not even a month before.

Li Xue slipped her way to the terrace when she saw the man and her baby reading a story. She needed some time alone to believe the sudden change she was having inside and around herself.

After Zheng Wenting, she has lost all her beliefs in love and relationsh.i.p.s. Created several walls around herself, so the same feelings could never strike her.

And she has been successful in maintaining that but the day she met Mr Beelzebub, everything got changed on its own. Whether say it for forceful or filled with his invincible stubbornness but the man changed everything for her.

Be it her damaged heart, her damaged confidence or her damage soul … everything got under his meticulous care. Like he has taken an oath to reform her again in her previous self. Without asking for any responsibility, he has made himself responsible for both, her and her little daughter.

Her mind wandered everywhere and every moment, she was with him. The cold wind struck her but made no change as she was lost in the warmth, her heart was feeling inside. She was only brought back when felt a comfy jacket draping over her shoulders.

"It's cold outside. Why are you standing here? You might get cold", he said as he enveloped her cold hands into his warm ones to keep it away from freezing. His actions were so soft and doting that it might even melt a rock when she was just a woman already in his love.

The feeling of doting-ness was something that she never felt for herself from anyone. Not that no one tried this on her, but all she felt around were the fake ones. Like they were just trying to make her feel how weak and frail she was! Her heart never accepted their gestures. It repelled every time.

But with this man it was different. His love, care and doting-ness for her never made her feel that she was weak, rather gave her the strength to know herself and her capabilities better.

"Don't worry! I am fine. Did WeiWei sleep?"

The man nodded as he replied, "Yes, she did while hearing me reading her the story. I think she got bored; I must practice a little more and it will better. And she must have been exhausted …"

Not knowing what got into her but at this moment without Li Xue's much thinking, the question rolled out. "Shufen, don't you want to know who is Li Wei's father?" Her words were out of the blue as no context linked it with the sweet conversation they were having.

But this question has been something that has always been in her mind. Like she wanted to hear his reason for such nonchalance at this topic.

When the whole world has always cared to know the identity of a child's father … Why did he never cared to find?

Feng Shufen was also taken aback with her sudden approach but his surprise did not last long. "Li Wei's father? Am I not the one? She calls me Daddy so what else is there to ask?"

"…" Li Xue did not put any of her comment. She just maintained her eyes at him, raising her brows lightly. When she saw the man not budging from his words, she finally said.

"Five years ago, when I was in the fashion industry as a model, I met with a scandal. I was found n*ked, wrapped in the covers with a man who was no less old than my father in a five-star hotel room" she said keeping her gaze constant at the man, trying her best to find any change in his expression. But to her surprise, no change came on his face.

"When opened my eyes, I saw the media reporters crowding the room, snapping my pictures. Everything was hazy around as I had got quite drunk at the night before. They said that I slept with the man to get the endors.e.m.e.nt from his company."

Her words were following no flow or rhythm. It felt more like listing the things then stating the story from the past. Hardly understandable!

But even stating it that way was a pain for Li Xue. She was putting very hard efforts to bring that all up from her lips. The night that has always haunted her … that has marked the beginning of her destruction, five years ago. The destruction of the dreams, she has aimed since childhood!

"My dream and career crumpled as the people around called me with different names that pierced my soul every time I heard them. Even my parents and boyfriend did not believe me. They abandoned me publically confirming the accusations of the public on my behalf".

"My young sister lost her life, protecting and defending me. But I cared less. They called me an immoral and bad example for this society. I …", her suppressed sobs broke her words, stopping her in the mid.

Her eyes got lowered, to hide the embarrassment, that she has never let anyone see. People might have blamed her for being heartless, when she has only tried to collect her strength to stand alone at the side, after losing everything in just a blink of an eye.

Her body trembled as she felt herself scattering all again. But at this moment a gentle hold, supported her, calming her palpitating senses with just a simple touch. "I believe you. You can never be wrong. Not in the past, neither in your present nor in the future".

Li Xue was too stunned at his words. This was the first time she has heard someone saying that he believes her. Not the things and the facts that are presented in front of him, but her! Laughing at herself, she tried to confirm. "You know Li Wei happened just after that scandal. Will you still believe me after knowing that?"
