Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 174 - Vow of celibacy.

Shuai almost fell from his chair when he heard his words. Just how much savage can this man get!

Ryan no longer knew what to say. This man has already lost all his principles for this b*tch. Biting her lips, she looked at the man disapprovingly. She was speechless when she saw that her annoyance was just not showing any effect on him.

Nodding her head to herself, she finally felt all her hopes and trust shattering, "Fine … I think I am all full and will need to leave now. Thanks for having me here" she said, shuffling a little on her feet on the floor to move herself to leave.

Seeing her leave like that Qi Shuai felt bad. It was not like he was sympathizing with her for Shufen's rudeness. No, it was not for that, since he knew that his friend was right. And he also knew that it was out of Feng Shufen's personality that he would go all the way out to protect the people and treasures he cared for. But Ryan was also not someone else. All three of them have spent their years together.

For the sake of that time, he called lightly from behind "Ryan, don't be like this. You came here to attend this dinner yet you are leaving without having anything properly. At least wait for the desserts". His voice was laced with a slight disappointment that he was feeling in the woman.

He has never thought that the woman, who he has always admired for her patience, sense of humour and elegance would be nothing like what he thought her to be. The words she has said earlier for the little girl was simply not acceptable.

Hearing his call, Ryan halted for a moment. Tears were already welling at the edge of her eyes, ready to roll down. She was simply not able to control them. Even after getting such rough treatment from the man, she still wished for him to stop her only for once so that she can give some reasons to bluff her own heart. "Shuai, I don't think that's even important now. People will enjoy here, irrespective of my presence and furthermore I was not invited here in the first place".

Her words along with her suppressed sobs were really pitiful. If they had not witnessed the prior scene created by her, the three people sitting at the table would have definitely pitied her. Li Xue too wanted to feel bad for her but however, she tried she could not bring her heart to show sympathy for the woman who spoke ill about her daughter.

She looked at the man sitting beside her, holding an expressionless cold face. She can understand why the others were calm at the scene, but him being so nonchalant was something she was having doubts with. Wasn't she, his friend?

Ryan stood for a while thinking that might be … just might be her prayers will get accepted by the Heavens and a ray of hope might fall on her, confirming her that there are still some chances left for her to rely on. But it was something that would never happen. So once again getting disappointed she moved her feet to make her way.

Feng Shufen on the other side, when he felt the suspicious or somewhat accusing gazes from the woman, finally broke his silence. "Ryan!" he called, making the woman stop her steps once again.

A wave of happiness roared in her heart when she heard her name coming out from a familiar voice. Forgetting all her words from before, she instantly turned around to face the man with the best cheerful smile she had, but her smile got stiffened when she felt the cold gaze on herself.

This was not the look he gave to that bi*chy woman, Li Xue, then why was he giving such a dreadful look to her. What did she do to make him so biased against her? She looked at him and waited to hear his words.

"This is just to confirm something for your own benefit. I am repeating myself so hear this out more clearly. Only she is going to be my wife; sooner or later. So people around should watch their attitude towards her. I won't bear anything against my wife" As he said, his eyes went to trail towards his nephew, Chen Yujian, as he was also giving him an unknown warning.

Only she is going to be my wife!

Was he taking the vow of celibacy here? Or was he planning to blame her for his celibacy in future? For Heaven's sake, Mr Beelzebub, can you please spare me now? Li Xue almost screamed inside, when she heard the man saying something like this.

Though she wanted to scream inside, that was just to make herself remind that she has to still hold the barrier to stop the feelings that were already creeping inside her heart slowly and steadily with those warm and caring words and efforts of the man. Make herself realize that her determination of pushing the man away was already falling apart and her heart has already started weakening in favour of him.

Saying his words, Feng Shufen did not hold any formality at all as he said, "Now I won't ask you to keep your work on hold. Ms. Kim must be the busiest one here as she has to look after the reputation of the K.M Enterprises here, a big responsibility to take care of". And then moved his eyes back on the plate, taking another broccoli in his mouth.

Qi Shuai was all speechless. There was nothing more he could exaggerate. This whole drama was itself an exaggeration. Shaking his head, he also went back to pick another meatball for himself.

Ryan did not wait for another second. Seeing herself losing the only person she has loved from her whole heart was the last thing she has ever wished to see. Suppressing her sobs, she quickly scrambled her feet towards the exit, but before she could get her foot out, a soft but firm and confident voice stopped her from behind.

"Ms Kim, please wait for a second!"

The moment she heard Li Xue's voice, her fingers got tightened, curling into fists and jaws got clenched. "Are you here to mock me for the things that happened inside?"
