Qi Shuai sighed on the other end of the call. For once in his life, he felt like his friend had fallen hopelessly in love. He had never ever seen him helpless in his life, but in love, he could clearly see at the mont no one was as helpless as him.
It pained to look at him like that and he wanted to urge him to go to limitless extents to make Li Xue rember everything. But at the sa ti, he knew that no matter what happened as long as Li Xue's health was at stake, Feng Shufen would not take any asure.
"Shufen, let's et in the evening. I have got a good solution for your state. With that, you don't really have to reveal anything to Xiao Xue but she will rember everything on her own. So, let's et and discuss it later, okay?" He said and just when he would have expected him to hum or show any sign of affirmation for his words, the beeps of disconnection ca, marking the end of the call.
Qi Shuai couldn't help but give another big sigh. But just then a ding of text ssage ca. He casually checked, but his eyes widened when he saw that the ssage was from no other but Feng Shufen.
[Shufen: Co to my place tonight.]
Reading the text, Qi Shuai could no longer hold himself back. At once standing from the chair, he jumped jubilantly. "Yay!! Finally, he agreed. Seems like now things won't be tough for us. It's just a matter of ti when everything will fall back to its place." He applauded to his satisfaction, but then he felt the astonished gazes of the people on himself.
He had almost forgotten that he was still in between the etings of the Research Departnt. When he realized, Gao Fan was already staring at him.
Smiling at him, he said, "Let's talk about this later. Let's finish this eting first." He said and then coughing out lightly, he quickly looked at others to say, "Sorry for taking all of your attention like this. But sotis unexpected things happen. Let's not think about all this for now and focus on our eting."
Qi Shuai said, getting back to his composure. "So, where were we?" he asked and soon everyone went back to the matters that they have in their hands.
While on the other side, just when Feng Shufen disconnected the call and turned around, Li Xue was standing there, staring at him. The mont he saw her there, he rembered the mont of passion they shared in the bathroom.
Although he knew that wasn't the first ti, still, it was a mont that he wouldn't be able to explain to her at this mont. So, when he saw her staring at him, he tried his best to not let her get reminded of it. But then did he really think that she would have just forgotten it like that?
"Since you have changed, let's have lunch." He said and was about to walk past her. But before he could, Li Xue halted him with her words.
"There is sothing that I need to ask you. And also, there are so things that we need to discuss. So, do you want to do it after lunch?" She asked directly, without beating around the bush. Her eyes stared at him unwaveringly.
Although Feng Shufen felt his heart stop a beat, he still nodded. "Fine, let's have our lunch first. It's getting cold." He said and nodding to him, Li Xue gave an affirmative gesture, before turning around to walk to the dining area.
Feng Shufen simply stared at her back before following her as well. He didn't know what question she held for him. But at the mont, he didn't care. He simply wanted to have a al together with his family, since he had gotten this chance after so long.
As for the questions that would co are inevitable. He would wait to see what she was going to ask him.
At the sa ti when Li Wei finally saw her parents coming to take their seats at the table, she put a big smile on her face. "Mama, Daddy Angel, you two are finally here. WeiWei has been waiting for you for so long. Now should we start our lunch?"
She asked and Li Xue turned to look at Feng Shufen before sending a smile to WeiWei to say. "Of course, sweetie. We should begin. It's already lunch hour now. Furthermore, only after we complete our lunch, we would be able to complete the rest of our work, right?"
She said and even though Li Wei didn't understand what work her Mama was talking about, she nodded to her words radiantly as if she had understood everything. "Yes, yes, Mama. You have always said that we should never ignore our als for work. Only after completing our al, should we focus on our work."
She said and Li Xue nodded to her before reaching out to caress her hair in appreciation while giving a aningful glance towards Feng Shufen. "Brilliant dear. You know everything so well." She said and the little one was all content.
"Of course, WeiWei would be brilliant. You have taught everything and WeiWei has never forgotten a single thing." She said before the three started to dig in.
"Mama, haven't we been the best team again?" WeiWei suddenly asked and Li Xue turned to look at her. To which, the little one further explained, "The food we cooked together is again so delicious. When I grow big, I will cook like you."
She said and Li Xue smiled at her. "You will be better than . Believe ."
WeiWei simply smiled as she scooped another spoonful of food into her mouth. Then turning to Feng Shufen, she asked, "Daddy Angel, did you not like the food?"
Feng Shufen humd and nodded, "It's delicious." He said but then WeiWei quickly asked.
"Sa as the last we rembered, right?"
Feng Shufen paused for a mont. He could feel the gaze of Li Xue turning to look at him. He doesn't need to see her to tell with what expression she was looking at him. He knew it already.
"What happened, Daddy Angel? Did you forget the last thing you tasted?"
"It's the sa as before. Delicious." He said, and Li Xue couldn't control the curl of her lips. But she didn't say anything, rather focused on eating first. The faster they would complete her lunch, the sooner she would be able to talk to Feng Shufen. And now, she doesn't want anything but the answers and clarifications from him.
Feng Shufen looked at her. Seeing her focused on the food, he didn't speak any more. Soon, they completed their lunch. WeiWei was all happy. After finishing her dessert, she said, "Mama, you will be staying with for longer, right? Can we go and play out then?"
Li Xue looked down at her and then shook her head, "I am not going anywhere, sweetie. We will play together but not now. It's already afternoon. Now that we have had our lunch, after taking a small walk, take an afternoon nap first."
"Later when you wake up, we can play whatever ga you want to play, okay?" She said and even though WeiWei pouted at first, she nodded in agreent in the end.
"Then Mama, will you be taking a nap with WeiWei?" She asked and Li Xue turned to look at Feng Shufen before looking down to cup the cheeks of the little one.
"Mama will co in a while. Until then you can go and rest on your own."
She said and WeiWei blinked her eyes. "Mama, do you have so work?"
Li Xue didn't hide and nodded, "Yes, sweetie. Mama needs to ask sothing from your Daddy Angel. Once she completes her talks with him, she will co to accompany you. After all, I have stayed here to be with you, right?"
WeiWei nodded before turning to look back at Feng Shufen. Seeing him giving a nod, she smiled and turned back to look at Li Xue to say, "Fine, Mama. WeiWei will go and hug Mr. Teddy then. Complete your talk with Daddy Angel first. I will wait for you upstairs. Okay?"
Li Xue smiled and nodded. "Sure. Go ahead then."
And the next second, the little one ran her way upstairs, leaving Li Xue and Feng Shufen alone.
Li Xue turned to look around. After coming to this place two tis already, she has co to understand that even though the place doesn't lack servants and maids, none of them would seem to be roaming around. As long as there was no need for them, they would not co in sight.
"Now that we have ti, should I ask you my doubts loud and clear?" She asked and Feng Shufen stared at her for a mont before nodding. To which, she didn't delay, but asked, "Did we have a relationship before? Like a relationship bound with love and affection?"
Her question was loud and very clearly direct, leaving him no escape. She thought he would try to dodge it but never expected him to actually nod and say, "Yes, we were together."
