Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 1472  Are you shy?

Li Xue's eyes turned coldly sharp as she turned to give a glare to Su Ce. Although his spine stiffened at that glare, he still stubbornly kept his hold on Li Xue. But it was too audacious of him to think that his stubbornness would be entertained.

With one harsh tug, Li Xue pulled away her hand, making sure that her nails give some good scratches to the man, letting him know his limits at once.

Su Ce winced at the sting as he involuntarily retracted his hands.

"Princess!" He raised his voice but before he could think that he got the power of intimidation, Li Xue injected with higher authority.

"It's Your Highness for you, Prince Su." Her tone repeated the warning her eyes gave earlier. "Being the prince who has been brought up in the royal environment ever since, I hope you have learnt how to address the royal authorities. Especially the authority who is next in the line."

Su Ce gritted his teeth but there was no other word he could say in his defense. It was not just Li Xue's harsh tone that got on his nerves but at not too far distance he could see a pair of gray eyes staring at them.

Only if that pair of eyes was a bit tense and insecure while witnessing him with Li Xue, he would have felt better. But those pairs were staring at him like they were watching some clown. And that eased gaze was pricking his nerves to the worst.

"From next time when you are thinking of getting the rose that doesn't belong to you, beware of the thorns. It might not just give mild scratches every time." Li Xue's words once again brought Su Ce back. He failed to understand what she was talking about but when he saw eyes gesturing to look at the scratch on his wrist, he understood.

Su Ce wanted to speak but after Li Xue showed him his position in front of her so blatantly, he couldn't find any befitting reply.

Li Xue didn't stay there for long. Giving her word, she left. Even though she gave a proper befitting reply to Su Ce, her mood felt all spoiled.

Soon walking, she closed the distance between her and Feng Shufen. When she was a few steps away her eyes met with him and he asked all casually as if he had no idea about any of the things he witnessed before.

"Upset?"

Li Xue didn't think much and nodded, "The sweet was delicious until unwanted cinnamon came to ruin its taste." She said, unable to understand her own drawn analogy. But she hoped that her analogy would make some sense to Feng Shufen because she had no patience left to explain the whole story to him.

Feng Shufen looked at her before giving a fleeting gaze behind her. Su Ce was still standing there, looking their way. His lips lifted on a corner in a lopsided grin. Li Xue thought that he laughed over her bad sense of analogy, but before she could confirm it from him, his arms came to wrap around her, pulling her close to himself.

His action confused Li Xue but when she looked into his eyes for a moment, she understood the plans he had hidden in them. And as she had guessed, Feng Shufen moved first to lean and press a kiss on her lips. The touch was simple and gentle but the way he held her said it all. His hold held the promise to keep what was his forever.

When Li Xue realized his possessiveness, she couldn't help but smile at his cuteness. At that moment, all her previous annoyance from Su Ce disappeared.

While behind, Su Ce's fists clenched tight, knowing that it was a deliberate attempt made to make him see his position clearer.

The moment wasn't for long. When it was done, Li Xue simply tilted her head to look at him with a meaningful gaze. But Feng Shufen shrugged off her look with all casualness. Brushing her hair gently with his fingers, he tugged the strands behind her ear. "Earlier, I received a call from your mother. She has invited us for dinner. WeiWei is waiting for us in the palace. If you are done, we can move from here."

Li Xue tried to hold back her smile and nodded, "Yes, I have completed my work here. And we should make a move now or we will be late for the dinner."

Feng Shufen scratched the edge of his brows and hummed. Then, guiding her with his arms around her shoulders, he led her to the car and opened the door for her. Once done, he came back to take his seat to the driver's seat.

And without giving another glance to Su Ce, soon the car drove off. It was all silent on the way until Li Xue could contain her giggles anymore. She chuckled out before turning to look at the jealous man on her side.

"Mr. Beelzebub, you know how cute you were like that. I just never thought that even you can be like that ever. I have read about male leads being jealous to the extremes but yours was just too adorable. I have not seen the face of Su Ce at that moment but I am sure that it must have been a great watch."

She said but when she saw the man not giving any reaction to her words, she brought her face all the way in front of him and raised her brows to ask, "What are you driving so seriously for? Are you avoiding me? Or are you just too shy to accept it now?" She said, slowly moving her hands and fingers to tease him.

It was a dangerous act but knowing that there wouldn't be any vehicles coming to the palace road, she was rest assured that there wouldn't be any accidents happening, given the great skill of the driver. She was just in the mood for fun.

But her body stiffened when she felt the car moving with a great jolt. Did she overdo her teasing? Before she could understand that Feng Shufen held her safe in his arms.
