Chapter 1318 Was dictatorship even wortwhile?
After Li Xue returned back home, she was first to take WeiWei upstairs and tuck her into the bed. Since they already had dinner out with Feng Yi Lan and Qi Shuai, coming back home there was not much on the schedule.
Lying beside her daughter for a good time, Li Xue didn't get up until she heard her even breathing. Making sure that her little angel was in her deep sleep, she finally proper-ed her blanket and gave a small peck over her forehead, before getting off the bed.
Her gaze darted to check the clock on the wall. It had struck 10' o clock. Although it wasn't late, seeing the time like that Li Xue still wasn't able to prevent herself from yawning. She just took a nap with her sweetie but it didn't feel satisfactory.
"Seems like I would have to sleep properly now." She said as pulling the door open, she stepped out to get in the direction of her room.
But suddenly her movements paused when the corner of her eyes caught the bright illumination coming out from the study room in the other direction. She turned to look only to find the light coming from the slight openings of the doors.
Her brows quirked up as she mumbled to herself, "Is he still working? Shouldn't he be sleeping by now?" She frowned before taking her steps toward him but then suddenly she paused when she remembered how he teased her back out of the school. Her spine stiffened, as she no longer thought to walk into the study to ask him.
'Li Xue, it's just 10 o'clock. He would come back to sleep early. But if you went there to ask him to sleep, you won't be able to sleep anytime soon. So, it's better to complete your sleep first.' She thought to herself as she at once turned to walk back into her room.
The night was starting to get deeper, so lying on the bed, she didn't realize when she got into a deep slumber.
In the middle of her sleep, suddenly she felt the bed dip on the other side and next she felt the warm hand press around her waist. She moaned slightly at the invasion but soon, she was brought to a position that was comfortable and was of her choice.
"Umm … I thought to escape you by coming to sleep before. But who knew that even if I sleep and you return later, I would have to take the consequences?" She said as she allowed the man to have his way with her.
Feng Shufen has always been considerate of her comfort so she never cared to look after it on her own. She just allowed herself to go with his flow.
"Did you take the pill last time?" He enquired softly to which Li Xue paused for a moment and along with her Feng Shufen's movements also paused.
"..."
"Did you?" He asked, and this time, giving some thought, Li Xue nodded.
"Mhm. I had but are you really that scared of impregnating me?"
Feng Shufen relaxed as he hummed with some denial. "We have all-time for that. But your dream and career come first. So, you don't have to get stressed over other things." He said, and in sleepiness, Li Xue couldn't help but hum with a smile.
"I understood. You want me to complete all my other responsibilities towards myself first so that later I can only focus on you and our family. How cunningly thoughtful you are! People would never believe it even if I say it otherwise."
"You don't have to make others believe. Just tell me and I will believe everything you say." He said, and Li Xue would never doubt that.
People say one should not believe the sweet nothings of the man on the bed, but Li Xue knew every word of Feng Shufen to her was worth betting for. There was no way she could believe what people said.
After having their passion, Li Xue had no idea when things cooled down. She only realized that they were back to sleep. Feng Shufen washed her up before bringing her back to the room.
"Tomorrow, don't forget to take the meds. From the next time, I would make sure that you won't require taking pills. It wouldn't be good for your body." She heard him say. To which, she nodded with a hum before falling into sleep with him holding her in her arms from behind.

The next morning came in its due time.
When Li Xue woke up, Feng Shufen was not around. She turned around to check and heard the sound of a shower in the bathroom. She assumed the man to be in the shower, so getting off the bed, she went to freshen up first.
She had a lot to do today. WeiWei's birthday was just the next day, so she needed to send the invites to the family first. Although Chen Rui has already said that they won't be able to make it tomorrow due to some official work, she has yet to ask the people on the side of Feng Shufen. After all, even if people don't like her, it wouldn't look good to not invite them. Especially, when WeiWei has been revealed to be Shufen's daughter.
At the dining table, Li Xue quickly served the food to WeiWei as she asked, "Sweetie, you would be going to spend time at Aunt Yi Ran's place today. I may not be accompanying you so it's your responsibility to see that you don't act naughty there. Also, be polite with Chen Yuchen. Even though he is around your age, he is still older by a few years. So, be respectful to him, okay?"
The little girl looked at her mother with some thought and then nodded before again focusing on her food. After a while, she asked, "Mama, Daddy Angel has not yet come for breakfast yet you made me have mine. Won't I be having breakfast together with you and Daddy Angel?"
"Not today, sweetie. We would have breakfast together some other day. Since your Aunt Yi Ran would be sending someone to pick you up today, you need to get ready for it. It's never good to make people wait, right?"
Little Li WeiWei nodded before finishing her food. At the same time, the doorbell of the house rang and she turned to ask a maid to go and see who was there.
"Madam, it's Young Master Chen." The maid informed Li Xue and she turned around to find Chen Yujian coming in.
Her lips curled up in a smile as she spoke, "You were coming. I didn't know. Do you want to have breakfast with us?"
Chen Yujian looked at the little head who had already finished her breakfast and shook his head, "Nope, I would have had if I was here a bit earlier. But since she has already completed her fill, I think I better take her first. My mother is waiting for her at home. She won't be happy to know that we got late just because I stopped by to have breakfast. People are waiting at home and she wants to introduce her niece to everyone."
Li Xue's smile deepened as she stared at the boy who had gotten a lot more mature than what she had known him. "I see you have gotten accustomed to some good manners. Not bad." Then turning to look at her daughter she said, "Sweetie, go and get your bag first."
Obediently, Little Li Wei nodded before getting down to wear her backpack and then walking to Chen Yujian to hold his hands. "Mama, stay well at home. WeiWei will go with Brother Yujian and come soon after visiting Aunt Yi Ran and Brother Yuchen."
Li Xue nodded with a smile before walking them to the exit where Yujian had parked his car. Waving them goodbye, she returned back.
Once back inside, she saw Feng Shufen descending downstairs. "You have gotten ready already? Great. Come, let's have breakfast then."
Shufen looked around. "WeiWei has …" Before he could say more, Li Xue interrupted him.
"Didn't the last day I told you about my surprise plan? WeiWei is going to visit Elder Sister Yi Ran today and Yi Lan tomorrow. Since she has a two-day holiday, they would help me keep her all busy so that I can prepare her birthday party better. Chen Yujian has just come to take her."
Feng Shufen nodded before he came to take down his seat at the table. Li Xue sat beside him before they started to dig in the food.
Li Xue's movements got slower since she was thinking about something. But it wasn't for long, as she was not able to decide about it herself, she turned to Feng Shufen to ask, "Mr. Beelzebub, I was thinking who else to invite to the birthday party? Would it be good to invite relatives?"
Feng Shufen remained nonchalant. "It would get troublesome if you do." He said, and Li Xue was not satisfied.
"But they are your relatives and it's WeiWei's first birthday in the family. Won't it look bad if I don't invite them?"
Feng Shufen turned to stare at her and said, "It doesn't matter. But do whatever you deem fit. You are the hostess of the house so you get to decide. No one would have the position to question even if you ignore someone."
Li Xue couldn't help but be speechless. Every time it was the same. No matter what she asks, the man always encourages her to show the dictatorship. Would dictatorship even be worthwhile?
