Mama’s Princess is Daddy’s Beloved - Chapter 1187 Nothing lucid to explain

Catching her breath, Li Xue looked around the room. She was still at her place and not in some secluded hospital room. She was not paralyzed and there were no people around her. She was safe.

It took some time for her to believe that but she believed it well when her eyes caught the sight of her princess sleeping beside her. Her one little arm was still wrapped around her waist as if safeguarding something very precious to her.

Her heart felt peace as finally, she realized what it was actually. “Li Xue, calm down. It was just a nightmare. Just a nightmare. Calm down.” She cajoled herself while slowly wiping the sweat from her forehead.

That might be the worst nightmare she ever had. Worse than what she used to have in the past. It had left her all anxiously breathless in the middle of the night, making her race to fill her lungs with oxygen.

Li Xue was still in the middle of her realization when she heard her phone vibrating on the side. Since the silence of the darkness was quite extreme, except for the vibration coming from her phone and her paced breathing, nothing was heard.

She turned to look at her phone and the number was not unknown. Although she wasn’t expecting his call to come at this time, she was relieved to see him reaching her finally. Not delaying any another second, Li Xue was quick to reach the phone to receive the call first before greeting the person on the other side as well. “H-Hello!”

The person on the other side didn’t reply instantly, rather read something on his own for a moment before asking in a tone of severity that was laced with concern. “Is everything fine? What happened to you?”

Li Xue didn’t understand it at first, but when she realized what must have hinted to the man about the wrong in her, she wasn’t too surprised as he has always been very watchful around her. “N-nothing serious. I just had a nightmare. I was realizing that one fact when you called me. I am fine.”

She said and for a moment of time, Feng Shufen didn’t say anything and she could really visualize his fingers clenching, blaming himself for not being around her right now.

“Mr. Beelzebub, I am fine. It wasn’t the same nightmare that I used to see before. Just some simple one that didn’t freak me out too much.” She spoke, thinking of cheering him up on the other end of the call.

But only heard his stiff voice coming from the other side. He still sounded pissed. “Get yourself a glass of water first.”

“Oh!” Li Xue replied shortly before adding with a bit of surprise. “Yeah, water must be useful. How did I even forget? That must help me calm myself up. How did I ever forget such a simple thing” She said, turning to the side, to get herself a glass of water.

But her movement paused when she saw the jug empty. “Oh, it’s empty. I would need to go to get to the kitchen to fetch some water.” She said and just when she was about to say more, the voice on the phone interrupted.

“Okay, go and fetch some.” He said and Li Xue looked down at the wrapped arm before saying.

“Can I not?”

But Feng Shufen shook his head and added, “Go and get it first. It’s more important.” He said and sighing to him, Li Xue hummed.

“Fine, give me a moment, I would need to settle WeiWei first or she will wake up.” She said and then very carefully, she kept the phone aside before removing the arms of her princess from her waist. A little wrong movement would have woken the girl but fortunately, it was handled well.

Li Xue took back the phone in one hand while with the other she carried the jug and then she left the room. But that was not before, putting up some small lights in the room so that if woken up, her princess doesn’t get scared by the darkness.

Descending the steps, Li Xue was soon in the kitchen, drinking water to her heart content. Once she was satisfied with it, she said, “Ah, it’s done now, finally. I am feeling better. No longer feeling any anxiousness or feeling and problem in breathing.” She said and heard the man hum on the other side.

She was about to say something more when Feng Shufen asked her instead. His tone coming very serious, the same as it was before, “What scared you so much? What was the nightmare about?”

He asked and Li Xue didn’t know how she should answer him. Her previous nightmares were something still expressible, but what should she say about the recent one? Could she even explain it?

How should she even explain it when she, herself, was not very sure of what she saw in it. She needed some time to recollect the nightmare before understanding its meaning. And until she understood the meaning, there was no way she could tell anyone. It might only confuse them.

“Ah, as I have said, it was nothing serious. I simply saw you having a second family to whom you fly often, leaving me and WeiWei behind without giving us any calls.” She said, and Feng Shufen didn’t need to ask her before confirming that she was just skipping off the part to avoid the question.

Although he was on the call, he could still unfold her secret just by hearing her voice. And at the moment, he could clearly feel that the nightmare she had was nothing simple but something that has shaken her from within.

“You should …”

Before he could say more, Li Xue interjected. As he could read her like a book even without being around, she could also guess his next words without putting much effort. And at that moment, she knew what the man was up to asking her.

So, before he could do so, she said it on her own, “Mr. Beelzebub, can you please not ask that right now? I really have nothing lucid to explain to you at the moment. At least not until I understood what it was all about. Please.”
