Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved-Chapter 1320 Stay by my side.

Li Xue froze for a moment. The question from the other side was too sudden. Maybe she had not expected it to come at this point. Furrowing her brows she asked, "Why are you asking this suddenly?" She asked and in return heard the relaxed tone of the man from the other side.

"Because I forgot to ask you about it last night." Feng Shufen said. His tone and words exuded his nonchalance as well as seriousness.

Although last night he might have forgotten to ask her, still he could never forget the sight in which he saw her expression turning grim. If she was affected by the name Weasley, there might be something about it that they should investigate. So, the moment he remembered, he called to ask her about it.

"If you say, I would let Gao Fan investigate the person." He said again when he didn't hear her saying anything.

Li Xue hummed to him in reply after some time. It looked like she had thought it well. "I have tried to investigate her with my resources but I wasn't able to get anything useful. Let's hope Mr. Secretary could get something helpful."

She never thought of ever keeping her investigations away from Feng Shufen. It was just that she never felt this important. But since things had come up to this point and the man was asking her himself, she didn't think it was wise enough to not ask for his help. After all, there was no doubt that his resources of investigation would be much more advanced than hers.

"Gao Fan is already on it. He will inform you when he gets something."

Feng Shufen said, and Li Xue was taken aback for a moment. "Mr. Beelzebub, did I get you wrong? I thought you had called me to ask if I wanted you to investigate the matter or not. But it seems like you already have plans to investigate the things and you have just called me to let me know."

Li Xue didn't hear him say anything for a good moment but just when she thought to check if the call got disconnected due to some network issue, a small sigh traveled from the other side of the call that made her raise her brows. "What are you sighing about?"

"Gao Fan was in my room when I called to ask for your permission. My intention was truly to ask your permission about the matter, yet you thought it to be otherwise. Only after you approved did he go out to get the things into the investigation. Do you now think I am lying to you?"

He said, and Li Xue was dumbfounded. It was not about what he said but how he said it. The tone with which he presented was enough to muddle her thoughts.

"Mr. Beelzebub, I thought we have gotten over the trap game. How come you are still on it?" She said with a slight pouty voice, not missing the hint of guilt trap in his words

And the next moment she heard a flutter of laughter from the other end of the call. "That's because it's quite fun to tease you."

"That's enough then. You have teased me enough and now it is time for me to work. I still have a lot to do. So, you better focus while allowing me to focus on mine." She said and removed her phone from her ear to disconnect it when suddenly pausing went against her action.

Pressing the phone in her ears, she instead said, "By the way, just to let you know, I have invited the relatives to the birthday party. I hope you won't mind." Saying that she waited to hear him say something in response but when she heard no words coming, she asked, "What? You got upset?"

The man hummed in denial. "Why would I? I already said that you can do anything. I would support your decision. If you have planned to ask them to the party, you must have your thoughts. It's okay."

Li Xue's lips curled up in a warm smile as a feeling of warmth spread in her heart, she asked, "So, you mean you are no longer worried that your relatives would be troublesome for me to handle?"

"I have never been worried. You would be fine as long as I will be around you." He said and on the other side of the call, Li Xue couldn't help but chuckle at his narcissism.

Nodding, she didn't refute but instead agreed to say, "I believe it. As long as I am with you, none of the family relatives will come to hound me. But what if I left your side, will I still be safe?" She said and heard the man pause on the other end of the call.

After a while, she heard his deep voice that sounded really stern and serious, "You should stay around me all the time." He said, and there was something in his voice that stiffened Li Xue. She has just said it like that. She never meant it seriously.

"What are you getting serious about? I was just saying it like that. But since we will be the host of the celebration tomorrow, I can't promise to stay by your side for the whole evening. We need to separate and look after the guests. Furthermore, we can't forget we will also be having more children at home. We need to give special attention to them."

Li Xue said, but on the other end, Feng Shufen remained all firm and serious. "You will be staying with me the whole evening. You are not allowed to leave my side." He said and the more Li Xue heard him getting stubborn the more her brows furrowed in confusion.

It was rare to see him stubborn like that. He has never forced her about anything until today. So, in the end, feeling that he might have reasons, she couldn't refuse him. Sighing, she agreed, "Fine, we would swim around like the paired swans in the lake. Are you happy now?"

She asked and the man didn't say anything. Feeling him still sullen, Li Xue said, "Hey, Mr. Beelzebub, you know I don't like seeing you mad like that. Didn't I already agree with you? Why are you still upset then?"

Feng Shufen's voice came slow and deep, complimenting the seriousness he held in his tone. "I am not upset with you. But I want you to assure me that you are not going to leave me."

Li Xue paused for a moment. But then taking a breath in, she said, "Where can I go leaving you, Mr. Beelzebub? I only said about going around the party to attend to the guests. What are you even thinking? I am not going anywhere. For now, don't think about all this. Go and focus on your work, while I do the same. You know I have a lot to prepare, right?"

She said and the man hummed on the other side. And soon they disconnected the call. Once Feng Shufen kept the phone aside, his expression turned all dark and grim. In his office room, he wasn't sitting alone. In front of him, Qi Shuai was sitting all relaxed in his demeanor. At that moment, his expression held no hint of playfulness. Instead, he looked very serious.

"Have you thought it through, Shufen?" Qi Shuai asked.

"..." Feng Shufen didn't say anything but his expressions told that he had made his mind and thoughts determined about something.

When Qi Shuai looked at him like that, he sighed, "Aish, Shufen, why are you like this?" You know one revelation could ruin the peaceful life you are living with Li Xue. Then why do you still have to reveal the things? There are still a lot of ways to expose Zhen Qinrou. Why not look for something else?"

Feng Shufen looked up at him as his expression turned cold, "Because hiding the truth from her has never been my intention. I was just looking for the real culprit. Now that we have the one who is responsible for the things, it's only good if I let her know it all. She deserves to know this more than anyone." ƒ𝘳ee𝔀e𝚋n૦𝐯el.c𝗼𝓂

He said but Qi Shuai still looked against it. Shaking her head at his firmness, he said, "But what if Li Xue couldn't take it well? What if she still blames you? Would you be ready to lose her if something happened?"

"But I was not the one who made it happen the way it did?" For the first time, Qi Shuai saw him losing his composure like this. Feng Shufen has always been known for keeping his best at the front. But now seeing him losing it all just in fear of losing Li Xue was enough to tell how much he loved her. He loved her more than anything and that was not evident in his eyes but in everything he held in himself.

Seeing his friend like that, Qi Shuai could not help but sigh, "I know Shufen, but things won't be so simple to comprehend when Li Xue would come across the truth. She lost all of her when things happened back then. Although the wounds she suffered are healed, the pain is still there. You can't just overlook that fact and expect her to accept everything very smoothly."

He said and to some point, Feng Shufen understood this as well. But he could no longer keep the truth. He feared the chance when before his revelation, Li Xue came across the truth. If that happens, this would become worse and he doesn't want that.
