Just when Li Xue felt that she has overcome her self-doubts and unnecessary thoughts, an excited knock came knocking at the door.
Her expressions paused and so did her actions while her eyes stared incomprehensibly at the man who was still hovering over her. Looking at him like that, she could not help but feel guilty in her heart.
Only if she has not wasted his time over petty things then, ....
Feng Shufen's expression was unreadable. There was a conflict in his eyes that was keeping him still in his position. It looked like he has got himself in a situation from where he could neither proceed forward nor could retreat back.
At this moment, Li Xue was back in her composure quicker than him. Though at the moment, she was having the most tempting view in front of her eyes from which she could not bear to look away, yet she turned to look at the clock on the bedside table.
It was time and the person at the door must be…
Before even her thoughts could enunciate the name of the person, the bubbly cheerful voice came to greet on its own.
"Mama, is Daddy Angel already back?"
It has already been weeks since the little one last saw her Daddy Angel. Right at the moment, just seeing the shine in her eyes anyone could tell how much she must have missed him.
How could she not be excited to see him now, after knowing that he was already home? She needs to tell him how she was obedient to his words while he was gone abroad. And how she has believed his arrival on time, knowing that he will keep his promise.
Inside the room, both the person has heard that voice. Even without that call, they knew who that could be. It was just that the moment was too high for them to react at the very instant. So, they were paused in their movements.
Now, Li Xue could just press her lips and close her eyes before reopening them again to look at the man with an awkward expression. "Uhh… I think you would need to get the shower again. You look a little… sweaty and she sounds a little too excited to see you. So…"
Her words didn't reach the completion purposefully as she stared at the man. At this moment, she felt a little awk for him but worst for herself. She was to be blamed but then again…
She could not help but think - If her princess would not have come knocking at the door, then, would they have gone all the way today?
Though unbelievable, still the chances were quite high, given that she had almost forgotten herself and was going in the flow of the moment. Her hands were already so close to his…
At the thought of it, she could not help but feel the flush of redness creeping up her cheeks, while her eyes, fluttering close to hide her thoughts from the man.
But it was already too late to conceal.
Feng Shufen, who had his eyes on her all this time, had already seen it very fair and well. But he didn't dare to make her more embarrassed about it. So, pretending to not see it, he just hummed with a nod before getting off her.
Undoubtedly, he was very uncomfortable. But when remembered the perks he received instead, he could care less about his discomfort.
With that thought, he went to get the shower, while Li Xue went to proper herself, before opening the door for the little one out.
"Mama, is Daddy Angel back?" Little WeiWei chirped the moment she saw her mother opening the door for her. Her head strained up to look at her mother waiting for her reply, but then getting impatient, she, herself, peeped inside to look for her Daddy Angel.
Li Xue looked at her and could not help but shake her head at her little excitement. She looked like she was out to search for her treasure which she has seen in her recent dream.
"WeiWei! Good morning, sweetie. Hope you had a good sleep."
"Oops, good morning, Mama! Sorry, WeiWei was all lost to find Daddy Angel, I almost forgot." The little girl greeted instantly, apologizing for her forgetfulness, before again getting back to the original thing. "By the way, Mama, why are you not saying if Daddy Angel is back?"
"Mhm-hm. He is back".

On the other side in the hospital,
Few nurses stood at the doorframe of the hospital room as they stared blushingly at the couple sleeping peacefully on the bed.
"Hey, aren't they looking adorable like that? That's so cute"
"Yep, they are really cute together. But are they really in that type of relationship? I mean she is the youngest daughter of the Feng family"
"So what? The youngest daughter of the Feng family could also have a heart that could fall for a guy. Why can't she be in a relationship with the man? Furthermore, don't you know which man we are talking about here?"
"Exactly! We are not talking about just any random guy of the country. He is the great Director Qi of Feng Internationals. He is no simple. With his name and looks, do you even know how many women he can count?"
The nurse gossiped among themselves as usual but something around them didn't feel normal. All this time talking within themselves about the couple, they have almost forgotten how deeper and deeper their content and praises were going.
It only struck their realization when they felt a shiver creeping on their spine from behind. Did they awaken some curse?
