Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 57 - Can't let the heart go deep.

To Mr. Kim, the happiness of his daughter matters the most. Seeing her like this was something he has always feared. Though he knew that in this situation no one was to be blamed, but out of his selfish fatherly love, his mind has always deliberately blamed the man who has never cared to respond to his daughter's feelings.

And now seeing him being all so considerate towards some other girl he felt like he was backstabbed. The pain of his daughter surfaced his heart and without even considering his thoughts twice, he shot out the venomous words.

"Mr. Feng, aren't you going to make this woman apologize for the words she has used against my daughter? Is this the way you treat your guests?" there was an arrogance in his voice that can irk anyone.

Li Xue was already fearing this topic. She wasn't feeling guilty for what she said but she was feeling bad for the situation she chose for retaliation. With some sense in her mind, she should have taken consideration of their purpose and relation. For some reason she felt bad for this big casket of mystery, the renowned Prince of Hell.

She looked at the man and decided that if he asked her to apologize then she would do as she was here to help him not to increase his burdens. And if she took a good look, then she has always done damage, even if she apologizes, her words can't be taken back. The arrows had been shot, now in no way it can be brought back in the arrow – quiver.

Feng Shufen who has not cared to show any reaction all this while halted his hand movements. A dangerous smile surfaced his lips which scared everyone around. It was the first time for Li Xue to look at him with such a smile. That was nothing like his charming side that had the power to control all her senses, rather it was more like a warning that was asking her to stay away from him.

"Apologize? For what?" His words were left with the presence of a smile on his lips. It's said a smile can even turn an imprecation into a sweetest blessing but in his scenario these words have no meaning. Because when his words got in the air the only sensation felt by everyone was the bone chilling sensation.

People felt their body stiffening on their own like they have to prepare themselves for the worst to come. Mr. Kim's condition was no less than the other. He felt humiliated by his inner self. How can a question from a man, half of his age can dominate his presence so easily?

"I … I mean she has offended my daughter with her words. It would be good if she could apologize to her. That way …", before he could complete his words a loud mocking chuckle left from the man's lips.

"And who started it Mr. Kim? I am sure that my woman's words weren't the first to provoke her or insult her", he said looking straight into his eyes. The gaze of his eyes at this moment was piercing like several needles in one go, challenging the old man with his words.

Li Xue was all stumped at his reaction and words. She has not expected this. Was he taking her side again? She blinked her eyes trying to believe the direction in which the situation was going.

Mr. Kim looked around and felt utterly insulted. His eyes stopped at the woman who was sitting all unfazed in this situation which was caused by her. Then got on the man who was so merciless with him.

He has never got such treatment anywhere. This man was really not caring to give him any face. But was he capable for any fight back against these insults? Nope, he can't.

He clearly understands where he and his power stands. There is no way he could offend the man, even if he was humiliated to death. Composing himself a little into the situation, he tried to get his voice a little more polite and subtle.

"President Feng, I know it may be my daughter's fault but since the situation has already got like this and she is feeling so hurt. It would be better if Ms. Li Xue could show a little modesty and help her get back in her good mood. You can also understand the feelings of a father. I can't see her like that"

"Haha Mr. Kim! Are you asking my woman to lower her dignity just to coax the childishness of your daughter? But I don't think that to be appropriate. In fact, I never knew Ms. Kim had such a side too, an annoying stubborn childish side", he said leaning back on his chair.

Li Xue looked at him and her jaw dropped. This man was truly savage. She never thought that anyone's words can be this sharp. One movement and the person will be dead. She wanted to salute him for his ways and words but at this scenario, that will only lead to more complications.

She looked at him for some moment and then after contemplating on something she said with a smile, "It's okay. I can go and talk to Ms. Kim. Maybe I was too rough with my words, in a way in which she wasn't used to. It seemed like she is really a pampered princess of her father"

Her words might have seemed a help but those words had its own taunting sense hidden behind. Feng Shufen turned to look at her. His eyes grew gentle again. "It's okay. You don't have to", he said, placing his hands over hers gently, more in a supporting manner.

Li Xue can feel the warmth and care he was trying to make her feel. This was something she has always craved for. A care and support she has never had in her life. She looked at him and then gave an assuring nod. "It's okay. I want to do it. Please let me"

The man tilted his head little to examine her expressions the best. When made sure that there was nothing wrong, no self – doubt in her, he nodded in acceptance. "Okay! As you wish, but you don't have to feel pressurized. I just need you to be the way you want, say what you want without caring anything", he said.

These words really touched the depths of the woman's heart. No one has ever been this patient and gentle with her. Never cared to know what she wanted, but here this man was making her feel those dreams coming into reality.

"Alas! This was just a role play meant for today. I really can't let my heart go deep into it or it will only make things tough for me", she reminded herself in her head.
