Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 1305 Even a loss of her strand of hair will make us lose everything.

　　After settling things with Zhang Jian Guo, neither Feng Shufen gave any explanations for his actions, nor did Feng Yu Hao ask him. He didn't stay for long in the Feng mansion. Giving a brief about the things going on in the company, he left like there was nothing else. 

　　And his such eased attitude even scared Zhen Qinrou more. Why did he not say anything to her? His calm composure seemed much scarier than anything she has imagined.

　　Only after seeing Feng Shufen leave did she come to the living space where Feng Yu Hao was sitting. When the man looked at her, his brows arched up in surprise as he asked, "How are you now? These days you are staying more and more in your room. Are you fine? If not, tell me, I will call the doctor." 

　　His voice was laced with concern but that concern of his was of no use to Zhen Qinrou because she knew that it wouldn't be helping her in any way. But still smiling, she shook her head to say. "There is nothing serious, Yu Hao. These days I am just getting extra tired. I will get better with some rest. There's no need to call the doctor."

　　She said and the man nodded. "Take a good rest then." He said and then taking back the magazine in his hand, he got busy with its contents. 

　　Zhen Qinrou hesitated to speak at first but when she could no longer hold it inside, she asked, "Yu Hao, I heard the maid say that Mr. Zhang has come. Did he leave already?" 

　　Feng Yu Hao looked at her, and then nodded, "Yes, he has come here earlier but he already left." He said and then without explaining anything more, he went back to his magazine. 

　　Zhen Qinrou felt her heart clench at his eased tone but feigning it well with her pretentious elegance, she said, "How can you do this Yu Hao? You must have at least called me. Being the mistress of this household, I should have remained here to greet him. Zhangs has been an old friend, after all." 

　　"They have been old friends but now we don't share any such relations. So, it's okay if you weren't there to greet him." He said without caring to look up from the magazine. His attitude was clearly telling that he has already let go of all the strings that the family once held with Zhang. Although his words sounded simple, if read through the whole story, they sounded nothing simple but ruthless. 

　　Zhen Qinrou felt a cold sweat drip down her spine. She stared at her husband as she said slowly, "Yu Hao, why are you saying it like this.? Haven't they been our friends for all these long years?" 

　　Feng Yu Hao's face turned dark suddenly as he looked up at her to say in a grudge some voice. "Putting their hands on Fengs itself ended all their friendships with us. How dare they think that they could target Li Xue just because some of the relatives of the family are against her.? I wouldn't allow even a relative to aim wrongly against her, Zhangs are still the ones who have no blood ties with us." 

　　He said and his words like that only scared Zhen Qinrou more. She was doomed. Why did she not think of this coming before planning all that against Li Xue? If she had known, maybe she wouldn't have been that confident in her plans? And why did she even join hands with that psychotic Zhang girl? Without her crazy plans, she was still playing safe.

　　As she thought more and more about it, she felt herself getting weak on her knees. Not able to hold her strength any longer, she quickly thought to run off. So, avoiding the gaze of her husband, she quickly said, "I will go back and rest then. I think I am getting a headache." 

　　She said and turned to leave but before she could even take a step ahead, Feng Yu Hao said from behind, "Qinrou, Li Xue is the wife of Shufen and I have also accepted her to be my daughter-in-law. It would be better if you do the same as well." He said and his words like that confused Qinrou.

　　But before she could turn to ask or explain anything, the man had long turned back to focus on the magazine. He looked like he didn't say a word she had heard earlier, rather everything was just her wishful thinking. 

　　Zhen Qinrou could no longer say more. So, turning back she left. She already underrated many things. Now she couldn't underrate her bad luck. 

　　On the other hand, after Zhang Jian Guo returned home, his face was all gloomy. On his way back, he tried every sort of solution to get his company out of trouble. But the more he tried, the more he felt like he was incapable of helping out in any way. The thought of losing everything he and his ancestor has worked for was making him go senile. 

　　"Jian Guo, don't worry, we will get over this situation anyway. We just have to keep calm and find a way." Zhang Qian Lan said when she saw her husband slumping down on the sofa in devastation. 

　　Zhang Jian Guo shook his head, "There is no way left Qian Lan. Feng Shufen has planned it all very well. He has not left even the tiniest hole for us to escape." 

　　"How can he be this arrogant? Did you not ask him to let it go this time? And what about the friendship our families shared all these years?" Even though Zhang Qian Lan knew that the friendship between the two families was just a show, still there was a lot that depended on that one relationship. After all, any relationship with Fengs couldn't be belittled. 

　　The man's expression turned dark. Turning to his wife, he gritted his teeth to say, "You should better ask your daughter. How did she even plan something like this when she knew Shufen cherishes that woman more than anything? Did she not think twice before being reckless" 

　　"Was it really for that woman? How could that be possible? Isn't the Feng family against her?" 

　　Zhang Jian Guo gave out a mocking chuckle. "Haha … Against her? I have heard Yu Hao calling her his daughter-in-law. From where did you guys have the delusion about those people standing against her?" 

　　"But …" 

　　"Qian Lan, I don't know how influential that woman is. But keep this one thing to your heart right now; slandering her once has cost us all our legacy. If she lost even one strand of hair because of us, nothing would be left. Not even us." He said and the scary warning was very much clear in his tone. 

　　The woman could only nod and agree to his words. "I get that. I will keep this in my mind from now on." 

　　"Not just you, ask your daughter to do the same. We are already on the verge of losing everything, I wouldn't want to see us losing more than this." He said and downing his head with some guilt, the woman nodded. 

　　*** 

　　While on the other hand, the project of the Royal Cultural Association Club finally warmed up on the last day shoot. Li Xue smiled as people came to congratulate her. Since her identity as the main princess was already revealed, people's greetings were more courteous. 

　　But even though they were courteous, Li Xue was also not the one to hold on the arrogant wall around her. She was polite to everyone as well. 

　　Once everything was done, she turned to leave. She had left WeiWei inside the palace earlier and now she was already curious to know what the girl was doing without her. Although she knew that her sweetie was not the type of troublesome kid, still her talks were easy to make people lose their sanity. She just feared that up until now the girl must have already set a hundred types of questions for people to answer. 

　　Walking back in the direction of the palace from the outer garden, Li Xue was about to reach the palace entrance when Su Ce's voice halted her from behind. "Princess, aren't you forgetting something?" 

　　Li Xue turned to look around as her eyes scanned the person to check if he was there to deliver something that she accidentally dropped behind. But when she saw there was nothing in his hand, she arched her brows up at him and asked, "I don't think I have dropped anything behind." 

　　Su Ce smiled his usual playful smile as he walked to her to say, "You dropped the etiquette to congratulate and thank me for being a good partner in the entire project." 

　　Li Xue's brows quirked up slightly but then, pressing a formal smile over her lips, she bowed professionally to say, "Thank you for being nice all this while Prince Su . And also, congratulations on the completion of the project." She said and then turned around to leave again. 

　　But once again, her steps paused at the words of Su Ce. "Seems like the Princess has got the nature to hold grudges. But hasn't everything already settled the last time?" 

　　Li Xue turned to give a smile to the man. "May I know what Prince Su is actually intending to say?" 

　　"I don't want to keep my distance from you." He said and his words came awkward enough to make Li Xue raise her brows. To which, he added to explain his previous words, "Since we are already family, I think it would be better if we get to know each other." 

　　Although Li Xue was not sure what his plans were behind it, she was still not in favor of increasing any contact with this one person. So, she opened her mouth to reject his idea straight away, but before she could say more, a small pair of arms wrapped around her from behind, almost taking her up by a surprise. 

　　"Mama, have you finally completed your work? WeiWei has been waiting for you all this while."
