Am I not good enough for you?

Fu Sheng watches Fu Mian and Huang Qiuyan sleeping together. Seeing them lying on the bed like this, his heart is filled with an unknown emotion. His gaze softens as he walks to them. Both his daughter and mate went through a lot in the last few days. Being a descendant of a devil, he doesn't pray to the gods for the obvious reasons. 

His true mate, Huang Qiuyan, is a better person than he thought her to be. He never liked the converts because of their origins. They were humans once, unlike him. Humans couldn't be trusted in any case. His entire family was murdered by humans. Huang Qiuyan cares about Fu Mian despite knowing how dangerous Fu Mian is to her. She can also resist the thirst for Fu Mian's blood. She's a rare one.

He could not be cruel to Fu Mian when he held her for the first time. Fu Mian was only a baby. She was free from the vices. She wasn't to be blamed. She didn't commit any sin or hurt anyone. As a king of the vampires, he should have killed her. 

He doesn't regret it. He might be a vampire, but he can't kill an innocent one. Whenever Fu Mian looks at him and calls him Father, he feels exhilarating emotions. Because of Fu Mian, he knows what it's like to be a father. Fu Mian is a gift to his life when he was living a never-ending empty life. Fu Mian brought life to his life. 

He sits down on the bed and places his big hand on Fu Mian's head. Will she forgive him? He's afraid of facing her. She might hate him. She's so young. Can she understand him?

Humans have short lives. He can't turn Fu Mian into a vampire when she grows up. He will see her grow old and die. That's painful for him. That's why he wants to give her the best life.

Huang Qiuyan opens her eyes slowly and sees Fu Sheng gazing at Fu Mian with deep sorrow on his face. She didn't expect the cold and immortal vampire king to show that kind of expression. It's the most human emotion that she's seeing on someone who is supposed to have live thousands of years. He doubtlessly loves Fu Mian, but why is he upset?

She closes her eyes again and then, peers through her eyelashes while pretending to be asleep. It's not like she's interested in him. He's a vampire king. She's a vampire now. She should know about the king of vampires, right?

Fu Sheng has heard the change in her heartbeat and breathing. He doesn't call her out. He sighs and kisses Fu Mian on her head. He gets up and saunters to the door, hears her heart relaxing. Smiling slyly, he turns around and walks to the bed. The smell of fear and anticipation is strong again. He lifts her up in his arms. When she opens her mouth to squeak, he kisses her to quieten her down.

Huang Qiuyan widens her eyes in shock. Her body is heating up. She's sure that her heart is doing a hip hop dance. It's not an unpleasant feeling. Still, she blames the bond. He chuckles and says to her in a low voice, "Our daughter is sleeping. Be quiet."

She purses her lips together, feeling a strong urge to not open her mouth unless he says so. Fu Sheng carries her to his room. His true mate is still afraid of him, not as much as before. She's nervous too. How long will it take for her to be at ease with him? She's highly tensed. He must make her relax around him first. She's easily dominated by him like a little rabbit. He wants to help her grow stronger. 

He places her down on the bed.

"Speak." He needs to have a serious talk with his naive mate who is watching him with caution. "Why do you want to break the bond with me? Am I not good enough for you?"
