Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 172 - Was he a kid to pick on vegetables?

At this moment, Ryan no more cared for how caring and loving the man was getting with Li Xue. Though it was making her lose something inside her heart, still it was nothing compared to her leaving him. She was ready to take the piercing pain on her heart but would not be able to leave him.

And with the tone that Feng Shufen has used, she feared that to please that b*tch he would push her away without thinking twice. So when she saw a chance she deliberately butted in with an offer of help and then quickened her movements to get a new plate served for him.

But before she could even scoop in even a spoonful of rice into the plate, the man's cold, strict voice halted her. "Leave it!"

"Shufen, it's just a plate I am helping you with. Why are …", Ryan looked at him and tried to defend her actions but the man simply did not allow her. "We can't make our guests work at our house. And also there is no need to take such troubles for me. I have my future wife here and she is better than anyone else. Leave the things to her, if needed she could ask the help of the maids. They are just a call away".

At those words, Qi Shuai almost choked on the water he was drinking. His eyes looked at the man as he cursed internally, 'Hey can you please be a little considerate towards us. We are not used to seeing you like this. It can give us a heart attack. And you are still in the first stage of your relationship but why are you giving a feeling as you have already crossed the hurdles and went straight to the time after sweet wedding phase'

Li Xue was no less stumped at those words but it did not take her long to get back on her composure. Her lips gave a small hint of a smile whose meaning could not be contemplated as she said her words to Ryan, "Ms Kim, Shufen is right. We can't let you work here. Please take your seat and …" She paused as she gazed at the man beside her lovingly and continued, "And the rest we can manage together".

The way she has added her last few words instantly softened the man's heart. His eyes looked at her adoringly like nothing else around existed for him and it was just her that mattered. Qi Shuai could not take it anymore. This couple was truly the torturous one. If this was just their pretence, then he feared what will happen when they will officially get into the relationship? Won't that become a disaster?

Ryan could only bite her lips to suppress her anger that was flaring in her heart. Then keeping the plate back on the table, she went and took her seat half-heartedly. She was now blaming herself for coming here. If she had not come here, then she would not have been this painful. It was her fault.

"Did WeiWei have her share of ice cream? She was waiting for it", Feng Shufen asked, already typing a message on his phone. Li Xue shook her head and then replied, "No, she hasn't yet. I will go upstairs and just call her" She said and was about to walk away but the man held her hands to stop her.

"No need to take the trouble. I have texted Yujian and he will be here with WeiWei soon. You can sit here and complete your plate of food first" he said, making Li Xue sit on the chair. As Feng Shufen has said soon, the little bun came sprinting up from the stairs with Chen Yujian following from behind.

"Thank You, Daddy Angel, for bringing me so many good and interesting books", the little girl said, coming close to the side of the man.

Seeing her so cheerful the man was also happy inside. When he was purchasing the books for her, he had no knowledge of the topics she would like to read. So in the end he has simply got everything that he would have loved to read when in her age, thinking that she might also love it.

"Did you like them?" he asked curiously, waiting to see one more similarity between their likings. Li Wei's eyes glittered as she nodded her head profusely in confirmation. "Hun hmm! I really like them".

Feng Shufen did not know the reason but every time he found similarities between himself and the little girl, he felt the happiness flooding inside his heart like it was his achievement to share. "It's good then. I heard that you have yet not had your ice cream. Come, sit, I will bring it for you". He said and picked the little one to place her on the chair. He was about to move to get her the ice cream when the little girl said, "It's okay Daddy Angel. I can wait for everyone to finish their dinner and then we can have it together. Mama says that eating with everyone is more joyful than eating alone".

The man nodded and patted her head lightly and then got back to his seat. This time it was Li Xue's turn to put food in his bowl of rice. Placing some meat and veggies onto it, she did not forget to add broccoli too. Seeing her add that, everyone's eyes went wide in horror.

Ryan's eyes showed the hints of happiness too. 'Finally, she will be getting the backlash of Shufen now. Let's see how can she be arrogant now? Hmph!' She celebrated internally as her eyes looked at the scene with anticipation.

Qi Shuai also became worried. Everyone knew that the devil just hates to have broccoli, then how come Sister-in-law was still unknown to such serious fact. "Xiao Xue, this … Shufen does not like …" he wanted to stop her but before he could, the little girl sitting beside him did the job.

"Mama, Daddy Angel does not like broccoli, same as me". Li Xue was surprised at the fact. Was he a kid to pick on vegetables? But was that her place to say or teach her … She sighed and again moved her chopsticks to replace the broccoli but the man stopped her. "No need, I will have them".

Confusion filled in the air when they heard him say that. Everyone waited for him to explain the sudden change in his mood of liking.
