Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Li Xue was overwhelmed when she heard Feng Shufen blatantly declaring her as his priority. She stared at his chiseled face, admiring his such beautiful side towards her. While her lips curled up in a warm, contented smile, she let him wrap his arms around her shoulders while allowing him to take her away from the place.

Behind, the people were all stunned. They saw them leaving, while but now no one had any words to stop them. Both Shin Tingming and Chen Rui exchanged their gazes while Feng Yu Hao came to console Yun Yuchun, whose eyes never left the direction where Feng Shufen and Li Xue's silhouette left.New chapters are published on ɴovel(F)ɪre

Patting her shoulders gently, he said, "It's okay, Yuchun. Things would get better. Give him some time and believe me, he will forget all of this." Feng Yu Hao's intention was just to sooth Yun Yuchun, but his brows furrowed in confusion when he heard her suddenly chuckling.

Although he was standing behind and was not able to see her expression, he could still clearly tell that her chuckle was holding a great hint of mockery for him.

"Yu Hao, I have not been with Shufen all these years, so it should be me who should have confusion about his personality. But it seems like even living around him for all these years, you were also not able to understand him." Yun Yuchun said as slowly she turned to look at him- face to face; eye to eye.

Feng Yu Hao didn't understand and was about to ask what was this out of the context thing. But before he could say anything, Yun Yuchun spoke on her own. "Yu Hao, I am happy that my son, my Shufen, is not like you. He knows his heart well enough to follow it. I am happy that he won't hurt a woman's confidence and efforts as you did. Rather he would lose his all just to protect one he really loves."

"Even if he is mad at me and no longer wants to take me as the same, I am happy because I know what he is doing in his stance is right. He is protecting the woman he really loves and cares for. I am happy that he is not like you who is weak in keeping his dignity. Rather tough enough to keep himself centered on the person who really matters." She said and Feng Yu Hao understood what she was talking about.

Even Shin Tingming and Chen Rui understood what she said. Not feeling right to stay there for longer, they exchanged a glance with each other before they left.

Behind Feng Yu Hao and Yun Yuchun were left alone. Feng Yu Hao kept staring at Yun Yuchun. There was a lot he wanted to say, but everytime he opened his mouth to speak, no words would simply come out.

"Yuchun, I …"

Interrupting his hard efforts to say anything, Yun Yuchun spoke while sniffling softly, "I feel it's getting late. I should leave first. Take care." Saying that she turned and was about to leave when from behind the man's desperate voice broke.

"Yunchun!"

Her steps paused but she didn't turn back to look. Instead, she remained there, cue-ing that she had stopped to hear him.

Feng Yu Hao understood her cue and felt relieved. Taking a deep breath, he walked a few steps forward and said, "Yuchun, I know what I did to you in the past was wrong. And somewhere whatever happened was because of me. But I am already this old. Do you really have to resent me like this? Can you not forgive me and give me a second chance?"

He said and his words held the sincerity of apology. But even though it was like that, except for a cold chuckle, nothing came from Yun Yuchun.

"I appreciate that you accept your sin, Yu Hao. But do you really think that your acceptance can make any change now? Even if you are already old, that doesn't change that I lost all the time that I would have enjoyed around my children. So, your words hold no meaning to me now." She said and her words broke the aged heart of the man.

Feng Yu Hao shook his head and once again began, "Yuchun, I know that I could not make a change. But a second chance is all that everyone should be given, right?"

Yun Yuchun turned to look at him. Her lips played a smile of disdain. "Heh, you are talking so much about second chances. Do you really think you deserve one?"

"I …"

"You don't." Yun Yuchun said with a straight face. "Especially not from me. I, Yun Yuchun, never believe in second chances. For me, once a cheater in a relationship will always remain a cheater in a relationship. Since you can break my trust once, it won't take you to repeat it for the second time. So, Yu Hao, to say it straight, I will tell you once and for all. Don't expect anything from me now because I have nothing left for you. Whatever I had, I already returned."

She said then giving a small smile, she gave a nod before turning on her heels to leave. Behind Feng Yu Hao was left alone to revisit all the mistakes he had committed in the past. It was rightly said that some mistakes simply not be undone. No matter what apology you hold, some people won't have the heart and courage to forgive you. Same was with Yun Yuchun. She was hard headed enough to follow her made principles and ethics without getting deviated from it.

And that was what kept Feng Yu Hao always fond of the woman. She was one he would never forget in his entire life even though there had come phases that made him weak.

Outside, Feng Shufen and Li Xue were waiting for the driver to bring the car in front of the porch when from behind Shin Tingming's voice came.

"Xiao Xue, are you leaving with him?"
