Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

The next morning, Li Xue got up as usual. Coming out of the room, she wrapped her hair with a scrunchie, before walking down into the kitchen. Her eyes caught the sight of You Jun sleeping on the sofa. The duvet was not covering his body but was thrown down on the floor.

Shaking her head at him, her lips curled up as she took her walk first to him. Helping him proper his duvet, she once scanned his face before reaching out to comb her fingers lightly through his hair. "Only if you haven't been hardheaded one as you are, then I wouldn't be getting a hard time in coaxing you like this. Tsk, but then again, I know I can't change you, nor do I want to. I like you the way you are. Good morning, my little brother. Sleep for some more while, I won't wake you up yet."

She patted lightly knowing that her touch like this won't cause any harm to his sleep. Then turning around, she walked into the kitchen. Working on her initials, she made breakfast first. Since she was having three kids at her place, it wasn't hard for her to decide what she had to cook. Some pancakes, bagels, along with some French toasts might be more than satisfying to wake the early morning taste buds.

Soon it was all done and Li Xue was ready to walk out of the kitchen when her phone rang on the counter. At first, she thought it to be the alarm and was ready to ignore it but when she heard the tune changing, she checked only to roll her eyes at the caller who was calling her this early in the morning.

Moving her fingers to the screen of her phone, she was ready to pick up the call when her finger paused for a moment. The feeling of déjà vu engulfed her as she remembered how the man called her at the time when Shufen was not in the country and forced her to take a trip overnight to meet him.

It would have been better if he had not tried something the same this time. Her expression turned that of annoyance as receiving the call, she asked straight, "What are you up to this time, Wei Jin? Don't say you have got another stupid urge to play nonsense." She said and from the other side of the call came the fluttery laughter that for a moment stiffened Li Xue's heart.

She felt like it's been ages since she last heard him laughing like that and she knew that laughter of his meant no good. But then …

"Wei Jin, you …" She was ready to charge at him, without giving him any chance to make a move. But before she could proceed to say more, easing her off, the man said from the other side.

"Easy, my dear. Easy! I never thought you to be greeting me so aggressively early in the morning. Did I steal your food last night? If not, then why are you like this with me?" Jing Wei Jin asked, starting with his usual tone of playfulness.

Li Xue heard him and had an urge of rolling her eyes. But controlling herself from the urge, she simply thought to get to the point that was more important to her. "Why did you call today?"

And just as she asked it, there came a pretentious dissatisfied grumble, "There … there … that's not how you talk to your friend, my dear. Did you forget all the love that we once shared in the past?" He said and at his mention of the word 'love', Li Xue couldn't help but purse her lips.

"Can you not bring those illogical things right now. Tell me why did you call me this early in the morning. I am sure, it can't be any simple?"

"Why? I am a simple man and my talks can also be simple. Why do you always take me otherwise? Do you also take your so-called husband as same?" Jin Wei Jin said and Li Xue felt her patience reaching the bottom line already.

Simple man! If he was a simple one then she dares not think of people with complicated personalities.

"Jing Wei Jin, this is the last time I would ask you. Your reasons to call me so suddenly? I am sure it can't just be a friendly call where you are calling to greet me in the morning or evening; for I know you aren't that kind of person. So, tell me, what is it before I get bored on this call." She said and after a moment heard the man sighing on the call.

"Aye, you are really a spoilsport. Is it fun to kill my fun so early in the morning?" Jing Wei Jin spoke but Li Xue didn't bother to respond to it, rather waited to hear him say the intention that she has been waiting to hear. "Fine, I got it. You won't speak until I say it all. Okay, then I will come straight to ask you. Will you now go on a date with me? I assure you since your husband is out of the country, he wouldn't come to know, no matter what."

"Don't worry, I will form a ring of my men around you that would easily bluff all the guards your husband has left behind, and then we would leave to enjoy our time together. What do you say? Should I pass an order and make it happen?" He asked, his voice holding a deep chuckle but at the same time some seriousness in hiding. .

Although his words sounded like flirtation if known the person properly anyone could guess that it was more than just some easy flirtation. More like something that he wanted to execute in hiding, without coming to her or anyone's notice. And Li Xue could sense it too.

But not making her understanding too obvious, she simply rejected his idea to say, "No need because I am not interested. I am very much in love with my husband and feel no need to have any extramarital affair behind his back. As for your super-efficient men, keep them to yourself as I have a good bunch of people protecting me. With them around, I won't need any extra men."

She said but the next moment, the voice of the man on the call turned all serious as he said, "Don't you dare act nonchalant. Especially when I can already see you knowing the threats around you. Do you think that just being nonchalant could help you?" He said, his voice getting all devoid of the quirkiness it held before.

Li Xue could see from where his concern was coming. But even knowing, her lips curled up to say, "Aren't you getting out of your attitude suddenly? I never imagined your composure this easy to break. Is it that dangerous that you can't even have control of your composure?"

Li Xue has known Jing Wei Jin for his best composure. She has seen his record of being playful even under the worst pressure.. But today seeing him lose it so easily, she could sense the thing he was mentioning about.
