Mama’s Princess Is Daddy’s Beloved

Chapter 1194 Why don’t you help my friend instead?

Feng Yi Lan looked around the teams of soldiers that has come all armed on just one call. Was that for nothing? Just a trick that her older brother played to prove his point to his missus? 

She shook her head in disbelief before turning to look at Li Xue to say, “Sweetheart, you must be cracking a joke, right? This can’t be that simple? Although my brother has a devilish mind that works effortlessly in stuff like torturing the human souls, he could still not go to that extent, right?” She said and from her words like that, it felt like instead of asking Li Xue about this, she was more like convincing herself to believe it. 

Li Xue understood from where that disbelief of her friend was coming from. She had seen the concern on her face when she appeared here. That’s wasn’t a lie, but still, she couldn’t help but purse her lips at her almost rolling her eyes. “Yi Lan, do you think that’s so unbelieving?” 

Feng Yi Lan was almost about to wail out. But before she could someone else burst out as if he wasn’t able to contain it any longer. “What does he take me for? Am I still a friend to him?” 

Qi Shuai stood up with all aggression and his such raise in a voice like that flinched the other two women sitting with him. But he didn’t care. He simply continued with his rant, while Du Fan just stood there watching him all closely. He wasn’t surprised by the director’s antics. It was just that this was his very first time watching it so closely. And it looked very interesting. 

”Fine. He doesn’t take me as a friend. Very fine. From today onwards, I won’t take him as the same as well.” Qi Shuai said, punching his palm with whole determination. Feng Yi Lan looked at him like that and shook her head. 

Although she knew that Qi Shuai’s personality wasn’t easy to trifle with, she also knew what kind of friend he was to her brother. And knowing that side of him, she knew very well how he would be eating his own words very soon. 

”Really, Brother Shuai? Are you sure of that?” Feng Yi Lan asked, and looking at her, once again Qi Shuai nodded with utmost determination. 

”Of course. What do you think?” 

Feng Yi Lan pressed a smile on her lips and shook her head. “Nothing. What can I even think? I was just curious to know what exactly are you planning to do?” She asked, folding her arms at her front. 

Qi Shuai looked at her and hesitated. “Uhh, that … that I have yet not thought but will do soon. Furthermore, what is the rush? He is not in the country. When he comes back, I will let him know.”  He said and Feng Yi Lan wasn’t surprised. She knew this would be coming, so she was already prepared. 

Li Xue looked at the pair’s drama and couldn’t help but suppress her chuckle within. Then turning to look once again out, she caught sight of the people standing. Although those men were too sophisticated to be called jailers and the environment and the house was too beautiful to be compared to jail, with the crowd standing like that for her, she was having no less feeling than a prisoner. 

Nope, she won’t be able to take it for longer. Furthermore, it wasn’t even needed. Why waste human power? 

She thought internally before turning to look at Qi Shuai to suggest. “Director Qi, how about I help you think of a way?” She said and Qi Shuai doesn’t sense a right feeling coming from there. 

Hastily laughing, he shook his head to reject, “Haha … It’s okay Xiao Xue. I can’t bother you with the stuff in between me and Shufen. I would find something on my own. Thank you.” He said but Li Xue wasn’t also the one to give up that easily. 

So, shaking her head, she denied accepting his modesty. “Director Qi, what are you saying? At least listen to me first. Maybe the option I have isn’t as bad as you feel” 

She said and even at her saying like that, Qi Shuai couldn’t relax. He knew that no matter whatever she suggests it would be impossible for him to do. And if something goes wrong in his devil friend’s absence, then it would be one to take the huge blow. There would be no way he could afford that. 

”Haha … it’s okay, Xiao Xue. Why do you want to waste your effort? Save your energy, you would need that later for sure.” Qi Shuai said as his gaze gestured to her to look at the troops of people still standing for her protection. 

Li Xue felt a headache pounding in her at the sight of those people. It was not like she hated them, but more like she loved her privacy more. With more people like that around her, she felt her privacy getting breached. 

Since Qi Shuai has already rejected to hear her idea, she had only one retort for it. Pursing her lips with slight sadness and helplessness, Li Xue turned to look at Feng Yi Lan as if urging her to help her. 

It was Li Xue seeking help, how could Feng Yi Lan refuse it? Seeing the helplessness in the eyes of her best friend was the last thing she even wished for. So, giving a blink of assurance to her friend, Feng Yi Lan turned to look at Qi Shuai. 

The man understood his intention the very moment their eyes matched. Shaking his head, he was ready to reject it before she could even bring it out. But Feng Yi Lan knew his tricks very well. So, before he could even gesture his rejection, she said, “What’s so wrong in hearing her suggestion once? And didn’t you just say that you don’t consider my brother your friend anymore? Then why don’t you help my friend instead?”
