Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 154 - This Man ... He Trapped Her Again.



Feng Shufen's attention instantly turned to look towards the staircase when he felt the descending presence of Li Xue from a distance. Dressed in casual, above knee length, floral dress Li Xue took her steps down to the floor. Her dress has a nice flare which made her waist skirt move with the air.

Her soft wavy hair was braided lightly at the side, leaving some strands to fall over the sides of her face. She looked simple yet breathtakingly beautiful to his sterling grey eyes. Though she has come down after taking a shower, there were no hints of warm flush on her face like she has taken her good time to compose herself back, before coming downstairs.

"Ahh Daddy Angel, Mama is already here. Now she can be your assistant and I would not have to worry about you" The little girl chimed in, announcing her mother's arrival. But the man was too much struck to hear any words in the background.

"Mama, here!" The little girl raised her hands up to gesture her mother to come to them. Her eyes showed the glitters of animation. Li Xue nodded with a smile as she took her step to reach her daughter. Her eyes deliberately ignoring the intense eyes of the man.

"Mama, we will have to help Daddy Angel in the kitchen today. He will be having guests at dinner" the little girl informed her mother all in one go. How can she hide anything like that? Especially when she knew her mother to be the best with her skills in this world.

"Guests?" Li Xue was confused at her words. Her eyes turned to question the man whose gaze she was avoiding all this time.

"Yes, we have to host a small get together actually. There is nothing for you to feel awkward. Just two people and no one extra" he said, more like he informed her to get her approval.

But when he did not get to hear her words of response, his words came up again to give her a better explanation. "My elder sister's son has come back to the city after graduating. Being his elder it's good to give him some encouragement. So I called him for a celebratory dinner. Hope you don't have any issue with that. If you want, we can …"

Before he could even complete his words, Li Xue already guessed. Taking her words out in haste, she quickly interjected, "How can I have any issue in that? I will obviously help you host them the best but are you sure my presence will be good here? I mean they are someone from your family and introduction may become a little …"

She didn't complete her words, rather kept it ambiguous at the end, to let the man figure out things on his own. Waiting to get some reasonable reply for her words, she stood there but nothing came even after minutes passed by.

But just when she thought to break the ice once again the man asked, "Are you comfortable with all those clothes? If not, please don't hesitate in telling Sister Margaret about it. She will get you some from your own comfort level."

Huh? Did he really only have that to tell me? Won't he feel that things will go more complex if his family will get involved in this lie? And what if Feng Yi Lan gets an air of all this? Ahhh, Li Xue, you will definitely be doomed to an extent of no redemption!

She thought to reject his offer of having dinner together in an instant but before she could even bring that fact up, the man turned his focus to another angel's presence and said, "WeiWei, I think we need to hurry the things now. There is so much to prepare"

Little Li Wei nodded her head in agreement and looked at her mother. "Yes Mama, let's do everything fast. It's already time. The hands of the clock are already showing 17 hours 30 minutes; we should not stress Daddy Angel too much with the work". As she said, her eyes gestured to her mother to check the time on the big pendulum wall clock.

'Did he just used her daughter to silence her words? Such a vile move, he played', she murmured internally as her eyes turned a little contemptuous for the man. But as a reply the man did not say anything, just presented a winning smirk at his face that was clearly asking her, 'So how was it? Did you like to play this way?'

At that moment Li Xue realized what exactly that smirk of his meant in reality. He was letting her know that he could also play the same trick she played at him in the closet room. Was he acting out of his grudge? A grudge against her?

She pursed her lips at him and then showing slight reluctance and displeasure, she also entered the kitchen, reaching out an apron to wrap around her. "So what is the decided menu for tonight? You both can go out and I can prepare everything. It won't be a problem" She said and was about to take the charge when suddenly the man held her from behind.

It was just a gentle hold on her shoulder, without any skin contact but still, it managed to send shivers down her spine. She felt her breath hitched and her heart suddenly clenched with an unknown feeling of anticipation.

She didn't even realize that she was holding her breath until her head felt dizzy. Turning around, she was about to ask when the man explained his action. "Didn't I say that I am in the mood to cook? I just want you to assist me with something simple so that you don't feel bored sitting alone outside"

"Ohh … it is like that. Ahh, I mean …", Li Xue got all flustered. Distancing herself a little from him, she nudged her nose lightly to get back to her composure. "So what should I help you with?" She asked scrambling her feet at her place, making her eyes look around deliberately to find something in her support.

"Chop the vegetables there and rest, I can do!" he said, making her work easy. Li Xue wanted to thank him for help but when she saw the sly smirk playing on his lips, self-realization of getting trapped hit her.

This man … He trapped her again!!
