Feng Shufen had just completed his talk on the phone when a soft voice from behind halted him in his steps that were returning inside the mansion.
"Brother FenFen, can we talk now?" Zhang Xiaotong said reaching to pause her steps near him. Feng Shufen turned to look at her and to his simple gaze like that, she smiled to add, "I have been searching for you since I have returned. But every ti I try, I am unable to get your ti. If you have so ti now, can we have a talk?" She repeated.
Feng Shufen looked at her for a more mont before looking down at his watch. "Is there sothing important to talk about?" Although he knew it couldn't be anything important to talk about in between them, he still ntioned it that way to draw the line of restriction. To make her aware that in between them other than having an important talk, there couldn't be anything casual.
Zhang Xiaotong understood his intention very well and her expression changed in response. Her fingers clenched on her side as her nails dug deep into her skin, almost making her bleed. But she still smiled in front, not wanting to reveal the grueso feeling she was feeling inside her heart.
"Brother FenFen, I understand you must be busy every day. Though I want to talk for a while longer with you, at the mont seeing you all tensed in your own matters I won't hold you for long." She said, slightly reaching out to hold him.
But as if already guessed her move on him, the mont she reached, Feng Shufen dodged it all naturally, stepping back from her.
Seeing him reluctant to her touch like that, Zhang Xiaotong wanted to strangle Li Xue, but for so reason restrained herself. Pursing her lips, she apologized, "I am sorry Brother FenFen, I didn't want to make you uncomfortable. It was just that I can't believe that the woman whom you considered so high could leave you all with ease for so money and property. I really feel my heart aching for you."
"There is no need to feel the ache for . I am capable enough to feel that for myself." Feng Shufen didn't bother to hold any formality with her. Keeping his intention curt and clear, he made her all known about her boundaries once again. "Also, regarding my wife, I won't like to hear anything from any third party." He said and then without waiting to hear more of her, he made his way away from her as if he never stopped to talk to her in the first place.
Seeing him leave like that, Zhang Xiaotong stomped her feet on the ground before cursing Li Xue under her breath, blaming every reason on her.
While watching them from a distance, Feng Yi Lan just felt the burn the woman might have felt in her heart. "Sweetheart, did you see that? The break was so loud that even at a distance like this we could still hear it breaking. Will you still say that your husband doesn't know the cruelty?" She said turning to look at Li Xue, who stood just beside her with a nonchalant expression.
Li Xue shrugged her shoulders. "When did I disagree with that? To keep himself preserved for , it's only good to keep himself strict like that. Otherwise, it would only turn tough for to face the love rivals every other day, wouldn't it?" She said and her words like that only made Feng Yi Lan's jaw drop in shock.
"Really, Li Xue? Who would believe you to be an angel after seeing you take your husband's side like this? Living with my brother, you have definitely turned more like a she-devil now." She said and to her exaggeration like that, Li Xue just smiled.
"Devils are always handso and charming. So being called a she-devil won't implicate wrongly. It would an that I have gotten more beautiful and charming than before." Li Xue said and Feng Yi Lan could no longer retort to her.
Easing the goosebumps rising on her skin, she could only shake her head to give in to the situation. "Fine, fine, I won't say more. I understood that my brother has turned you like himself. Now, no matter what I say, I can't get back the angel I once had in my life. Ehhh." Feng Yi Lan said and Li Xue just chuckled at her.
Right at the mont, when they were talking among themselves, a maid ca to politely interrupt, "Second Young Miss, sorry for disturbing like this. But Madam, your mother, is asking you inside."
Feng Yi Lan glanced at the maid slightly and waved her off. "I am a bit busy right now. Tell her that when I get ti, I will co to et her. Till then ask her not to disturb ." She said and again turned to look at Li Xue to talk. But even after a mont, the maid didn't budge from the place.
Li Xue looked at her and following her gaze, Feng Yi Lan as well turned with irritation on her face. "What now? Didn't I ask you to go and tell your Madam already? Why are you still waiting here then?"
Keeping her gaze down at the ground, the maid replied, "Second Young Miss, Madam has asked you urgently. She has asked not to co back without you." She said and hearing her mother's orders like that further infuriated the girl.
"What's the aning of all this? Can't I even stay on my own here?" Feeling her nerves clenching, Feng Yi Lan almost yelled. But from the side, Li Xue cald her down, reaching to pat her shoulders first.
"It's fine Yi Lan. Go and et her once. Maybe she has sothing important to tell. Furthermore, with so many relatives around, you shouldn't reveal the weakness of your relationship with her, okay?" Though it has only been so ti since she has t the relatives, she could already tell that revealing the actuality shouldn't be kept as an option in front of them.
Feng Yi Lan looked at her and then nodded. "Fine. I will go and et her. But in my absence, don't roam around on your own. Though you and my brother have conquered the relatives today, they are still on the unfavorable side and might make attempts to create problems for you. So be cautious until I co back to you.." She said and understanding her concern for her, Li Xue nodded before sending her away.
