Li Xue almost had a heart attack, but soon she realized that it was just a false alarm. And she was all safe in his arms, closed in his embrace.
"I simply asked you something, Mr. Beelzebub. Do have to be like this?" She asked, trying to pull herself away. But no matter how she tried, she couldn't budge from his grip.
She stared at Feng Shufen only to find him staring back at her with double intensity. "You …"
"You said that the strong taste of cinnamon spoiled your taste. So, I helped you change it. I was never made aware that the meaning of 'help' changed into 'jealousy' in the recent dictionary." He said while moving his fingers to trace her cheeks first before moving it to her lips.
Li Xue's lips quivered under his touch and she shivered. "My word about the taste of cinnamon was a weird analogy that even you got to understand. Don't hide your jealousy behind one stupid excuse of mine." She said and the man shushed her.
"Shush! Nothing about you can be stupid." He said, bringing his face closer to hers while slowly brushing his cheeks against hers.
Li Xue's eyes got closed feeling his proximity, her breaths got heavy as her voice turned into a whisper. "If it hadn't been stupid, do you think you have used it as an excuse."
"I …"
Li Xue felt a flutter down in her stomach. "But we are in the middle of the road. We will get …"
Before she could say more, her seat reclined more making her lie straight on her back. Her breath "Mr. Beelzebub, what are you being shy about. I am your wife. You have got all the authorities to get jealous over me and show your possessiveness on me. I don't mind. If you are the possessor, I would take all risk to become your possession. So, even if you were jealous over me, you can show it off without thinking twice." She said before halting in her words, feeling his cold breath near her ears.
Feng Shufen was not the man to shy around. But to him, Li Xue has always been an exception. The feelings he never knew were in him, he felt all of it for her. And shyness was one of them that he discovered today. He was shy to accept that he was jealous over her even after knowing that he had her in the way no one was allowed to. He was shy to accept that around her, overwhelm was not a difficult feeling.
"I can read all his cunning thoughts for you. To keep my hands away from the royal prince, I had to do do something. So, to calm myself down, I couldn't hold myself back. I kissed you at that moment because I wanted to. I kissed you in front of him to let him know that in no way would he ever be successful in his plans. I kissed you because I was jealous over you and I promise you that every time the same will happen, I won't be able to hold myself back from showing my claim over you. So, when the time like that comes, bear with me."
Feng Shufen said, accepting all his insecurities. Those words were said in a slow tone that was equal to murmurings. But the power that his slow, dominative tone held was like no other. Even though it was audible like a whisper, Li Xue could still hear it ringing loud in her ears.
Her cheeks got flushed as she felt his possessive grip tightening over herself. Lifting the corners of her lips, she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him with an initiative to show her acceptance for his possessive side.
"M-Mr. Beelzebub, I think we should stop here now." Li Xue spoke, realizing where their actions were leading to.
Feng Shufen's lips lifted up in a lopsided grin as he pressed his finger over her lips. "You get the chance to start it, but stopping it depends on me."
Li Xue felt a flutter down in her stomach. "But we are in the middle of the road. We will get …"
Before she could say more, her seat reclined more making her lie straight on her back. Her breath hitched "This …" Her words were eaten by Feng Shufen as the next moment he pressed his pair over hers, quieting her down the next instant.

Back at the palace, WeiWei sat with her grandmother. Her eyes noting down Chen Rui's actions and movements all minutely.
When Chen Rui felt her curious gaze on herself, she looked up at her and raised an amused brow at her. "What happened, dear? Is there something that you want to ask?"
WeiWei looked at her grandmother and then nodded, "LǎoLao, you are the queen and Laoye is the king of the country. Little-belittle Uncle is also the prince of the country and Mama is the Crown Princess of the country. Am I right?"
Chen Rui nodded. "Yes, sweetie. That's right. But why are you asking this? Did someone tell you something?"
Little WeiWei shook her head. "No one said anything to WeiWei. WeiWei was just curious to know if Mama is the princess and little belittle Uncle is the princes, then what am I? Am I also a princess?"
She asked, and Chen Rui couldn't hold the chuckle. She kept the files in her hand away, and then gestured her to come near her. WeiWei stood up and walked up to her.
Chen Rui pulled her close and made her sit beside her on the sofa. Then pitching her cheeks gently, she cupped her face with one hand and spoke, "Of course, dear. You also belong to the royal family. You are the daughter of the Crown Princess and the future Queen of the country. And what do we call the daughter of the Queen?"
"Princess?"
Chen Rui smiled and nodded. "Yes, exactly. We call them princesses. As being my daughter, your mother became the princess. Similarly, you being your mother's daughter, you will also be the princess. If you want, in future you can also become …"
Before Chen Rui could complete it, Li Xue's voice from the entrance interrupted her, rejecting the idea. "WeiWei can be titled as princess, Ma. But she won't take the crown. So don't make her think about it."
