Feng Shufen looked at Li Xue for a mont before looking away. "Did you take your dicines?" He asked before calling for assistance, "Sister Margaret!"
Li Xue looked at him with a frown and was about to repeat her questions. But before she could the old lady ca out in a hurry to ask, "Madam, you are finally ho. How are you? Is the wound too deep?" Her aged brows were wrinkled with utmost concern.
Li Xue nodded. For a mont, her thoughts got distracted from Shufen. "No, I am fine, Sister Margaret. Just a little of a wound. It will recover soon if I take my dicines on ti." She said holding onto the old lady's hands in assurance.
Sister Margaret nodded at her with ease. Otherwise, since the last night, after she was inford, she was all worried for the lady. After all, if sothing had happened to Li Xue, she could not dare to think about the consequences.
"Sister Margaret, it's already ti for her dicines. Did you make all the preparations I asked you to make?" Shufen asked and turning to him, the old lady nodded politely. "Fine, then look after her. I have sothing to do in the study." He said and then giving a small glance at Li Xue, he walked away.
Though Sister Margaret didn't understand the deep aning his such attitude held, Li Xue understood it well. Her eyes slightly narrowed at the man, as internally she rejected to give up. 'Mr. Beelzebub, this ti it won't be easy for you to escape like that.'
"Madam, co with . I have prepared the dicines for you. Those are herbals and would work better." The old lady said but looking a bit engrossed in her own self, Li Xue paused her.
"Sister Margaret. I will have my dicines soon. But right now, I need to ask sothing with Shufen. I will go there first." She and the old woman was all perplexed about it. Before she could understand what it was all about, Li Xue was already on her way upstairs.
Climbing the stairs, it didn't take long for her to reach the study. Without giving any knock of prior information, she pushed the door open finding the man sitting behind his desk. "Did you think that would be over so soon?"
Feng Shufen stared up at her for a mont. His deanor was all calm at her appearance. After a while, he simply said, "Yes. Continue. I am hearing."
Li Xue didn't understand at first but when she saw him looking back on the laptop, she understood that he was on the call. She thought for a mont while looking at him. When didn't find him looking at her for a good mont of ti, she pursed her lips before walking straight to him.
Reaching near him, without explaining, she closed his laptop. "Mr. Beelzebub, can we talk now?" She asked and the man stared up at her with a raise on his brows before looking back at his laptop that was already closed. "Don't look at it that way. You were at fault to think that I would let you avoid that easily. Let you avoid telling the truth that easily."
Feng Shufen smiled, keeping his gaze down. "Are you sure it's who is avoiding telling the truth to you? And not you who is uninterested in knowing it?" He asked before looking up at her with his grey orbs. There were hints of secrets in his gaze that were almost there knocking at her door of revelation.
"What do you an?" Li Xue didn't understand. None could ever. "When was I uninterested in it?" She asked.
"Always." He frankly said and it further perplexed the woman.
Shaking her head at him first, she turned a bit back to pull a chair to sit near him. "Mr. Beelzebub, I know you have a deep nature. But could you please keep your words a bit simple when you are with ? I am not understanding what you are talking about. What I asked about was the thing that happened earlier."
"Why earlier you were so severe to His and Her Royal Highness? I could see sothing was going on around which I was unaware of. What was that about? Did you ever try to tell about that?" She asked, explaining her best to build up the pressure on the man.
But at all her words, Feng Shufen simply nodded with seriousness. "Mhm. I have tried to tell that to you earlier but at that ti you have said that you aren't interested in knowing the past and carrying the burden."
Li Xue was feeling befuddled. With his words, she was feeling like the things are kept just in front of her but she was still unable to see them. Shrugging her shoulders, she wrinkled her brows in incertitude to say, "Past and burden? Mr. Beelzebub, those are very simple yet complicated words for . Please don't test my brains and patience now. Tell what it was about? His and Her Highness asking to get registered under their na doesn't sound simple. Why would they even do that? I am not soone …"
"You are their daughter." Feng Shufen added, interrupting her in the middle of her words. Li Xue paused at those words. Her brows frowned deeper doubting his words.
Did she hear him right? She questioned herself and as if he has guessed her doubt already, he repeated to confirm.
"You are their daughter. That's why they are asking you in the royal tree. And why I was stern at their request earlier was for I wanted you to know this truth first before making any decision. Now that you have known, if you want, you can go ahead with it. It's totally up to you." He said and to his words, Li Xue didn't know how to react.
"I-I am their daughter. You an my biological father is no other but His Majesty?" She asked and Feng Shufen didn't reject, clearing it out once for all. All this while he was not sure if he should reveal it or not.. But since things have already turned like that, he just decided to not hide it anymore.
