Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved



Under the soft canopy of stars, the world seemed to be holding their breaths, finally giving them the intimate space and the passionate feel to bask in the aftermath of their wedding night. 

The air seemed to be imbued with a tranquil magic, a symphony of crickets and distant waves offering a gentle serenade to their love. There was a deep layer of satisfaction and peace settled on the expression of Feng Shufen that could be shining under the moonlight that was cascading inside the room through the window. 

Li Xue was also feeling no different. Nestled in the crook of Feng Shufen's arm, Li Xue lifted her chin up to look at his face. His eyes were closed while her eyes moved to look over his calm expression before getting stilled at his jaws. 

His sharp jaws have always been a complement to his cold, aloof and lofty demeanor. But to her they were the best features that made him look more handsome. 

Seeing his sharp, edged jaws so close, she couldn't hold back the urge to move her fingers on it. Up from her distance the texture of his skin seemed smooth, but earlier when she felt it moving on her skin, it was kind of different which tingled her sweetly. 

Reaching out, she was about to trace the fine ridge of his face when suddenly her hands were held in the air. It happened so quickly that Li Xue paused for a moment. She thought he was peacefully sleeping, so she wasn't expecting him to wake up just by her slightest of the slightest movement. 

"Weren't you sleeping?" She asked, blinking her eyes at him before adding her reasons. "I thought you were. If you weren't, you should have opened your eyes." The flush of her cheeks could easily tell that she was blushing out of embarrassment. As if she was caught red handed in something that she wanted to hide. 

When Feng Shufen saw her like that, his lips turned up at the corners. Looking at her hands that were still up in the air, he pulled it close before giving a light kiss to her fingertips.

"Can I ever bluff you?" He asked, and feeling the feathery yet burning touch on her fingertips, Li Xue at once tried to pull back her hands. But his strength defended well against her efforts. 

Feeling herself at loss, Li Xue revoked his innocence. "You just did and now you are pretending to be a saint. Do you think I will believe you?" 

Feng Shufen gave out a chuckle but the next second turning all serious, he said, "Now that's where you are trying to bluff. Just some time before when you were enjoying me, you were moaning out my name, saying that you can't trust anyone more than me. And that it has been only me you can surrender yourself to. And that you will always …" 

Before he could say more, Li Xue pressed her other hands on his lips, stopping him from saying more. If her face was blushing before, it has turned all red now. "You are again teasing me, Mr. Beelzebub. You better be sure about it." She said and then pulled away her hands from him and turning on her back to the other side. 

Feng Shufen smiled more. Seeing through her facade of anger, he also turned to her side before spooning her from behind. The contours of their bodies fitted together as if they were two halves of a perfect whole. Neither of the two spoke for the time being and stayed like that in a comfortable position, seeming to forget the sweet little play of tease they had before.

The moonlight painted them in a silvery glow, casting delicate shadows that danced across the room, a reflection of their innermost desires now tenderly realized.

Their fingers intertwined; their hands entwined not just in flesh but in the promise of a shared future. Feng Shufen's touch was a warm magic against Li Xue's skin, a reminder of the night's tender exploration they underwent together.

When Li Xue remembered all of it again, she turned around to wrap her arms around him while hiding her face in his chest. This wasn't their first time but it was still the most special one that would always stand out from the rest. The memories of which will always make her shy away from accepting the flood of best excitement and emotions that she had at the same time. 

When she wrapped her arms tightly around him, Feng Shufen reciprocated back with the same intensity. "Keeping the most precious treasure in my arms, I can't lay down my guards." 

He said and hearing him say something like that out of blue, Li Xue pulled a bit back to look at him. His grey eyes that held the pool of warmth and affection, met hers. "I wasn't bluffing you. I was guarding my treasure without causing any discomfort to her." He added, and in that moment, Li Xue felt that she was living a tale that most of the girl's desire in their life.

Shifting a little in her position, she moved up before keeping her lips over his. The kiss was soft and neither of the two molded it in any other way. It was a chaste kiss of affection and appreciation, so after the small peck the two stayed looking into each other's eye. 

After a while, Li Xue spoke, "Seeing how good you have always been with your words, it's a bit hard for me to believe that you have never been in a love of a woman before. Tell me honestly, Mr. Beelzebub, was there someone before me as well?" 

Feng Shufen kept looking into her eyes. There was a sincerity in these eyes that spoke volumes. "Apart from you, there has never been one, and there will never be one. Only you are the woman who have the ability to bring out both the best and the worst in me. And that's what love is known for, isn't it?" 

He whispered deeply; his voice was a soft caress that sent a shiver down her spine. Li Xue''s cheeks flushed, a rosy hue painting her features. She chuckled softly, "No surprise WeiWei has always been so good with her words. She has taken after you."

A playful grin curved Shufen's lip. Raising a brow slightly, he said with a smirk, "A cub will take after the lion. There is nothing to doubt in that."

He said, and Li Xue couldn't help but shake her head at him. "You are such a narcissist. It must be fun to be like that?" 

Feng Shufen nodded and Li Xue couldn't help but punch his chest. "You better keep this legacy of narcissism to yourself. I won't be able to take three narcissists in the family. Hearing the talks of one is enough to blow my head."

She said and saw the man ready to speak against her with a reason. But before he could, she added on her own, "A cub is not necessary to take after the lion. It can also take after a tigress. Wouldn't that also make sense." She said, raising her brows as a challenge at him. 

Seeing her like that, Feng Shufen smiled and nodded with agreement. The silence ensued in the air for some while before they both burst into laughter together, sharing the joy with each other. 

This was the marker of the new chapter they had embarked upon, a journey that was now their shared destiny.

"Thank you for coming to my life, Mr. Beelzebub. I still can't forget the time we met for the first time. The time when you trapped me in your tricks for the first time." Li Xue began, her voice trailing off as she tried her best to encapsulate the myriad of emotions that was having in her heart.

"Trapping you in my tricks has never been my intention. But it was the only way I found to get you. The day you stood at my door with WeiWei I felt you would disappear the next second if I didn't hold you right. And that thought gave me an anxiousness that I couldn't let go even in my dreams," Feng Shufen spoke, his gaze unwavering. "You were so strong in front of me that I felt myself losing the very instant I saw you."

Li Xue smiled and reached out to cup his face. "You wouldn't have lost me. Because even without us knowing we always had each other. It was just that we never knew that." 

She said and the next moment both of them spoke out to each other thought that turned out to be the same. 

"WeiWei!" 

"WeiWei"

They both said and then smiled looking at each other. That was right. Although it was not too evident, from the start till the end, the unseen string that kept them hooked to each other was no other but their daughter that came like magic in their words, saving them both in the worst. 

Their hands still entwined, Feng lifted her hand to his lips, pressing a gentle kiss to her knuckles before also pecking her forehead. "Thank you for making my life so beautiful. It wouldn't have turned out like this without you and without all the strong choices that you made back then."

The sincerity in his voice was matched only by the depth of emotion in his eyes. Li Xue felt her heart swell with a love so profound that it was almost overwhelming. "That was how destiny kept it decided for us. Our fate was always there ready its own plans. We just played out our parts and it turned out well."

Feng Shufen's thumb brushed gently over her cheek; his touch was a reverent caress. Slowly, he leaned in and his lips met hers in a kiss that held the essence of their love. It was a kiss that spoke of tenderness of shared dreams.

As their lips parted, they stayed close, their foreheads touching. "I love you." Feng Shufen murmured, his breath mingling with hers.

Li Xue smiled; a tear escaped to glisten like a diamond on her cheek. "I love you too. Maybe less than you but definitely more than anyone else."

In the hush of the night, they lay entwined, lost in each other's embrace. The world outside was a distant whisper, a mere backdrop to the symphony of their love. As the hours drifted by, they spoke of their hopes, their dreams, and the future they would build together.

And as dawn painted the sky with hues of pink and gold, they found themselves wrapped in a cocoon of love and contentment. Last night was a cherished memory that they would never feel old no matter when they look back. 

As they closed their eyes, the world seemed to fade away, leaving only the two of them, entwined in each other's arms, ready to face the sunrise of their new life together.
