Li Xue was taken aback. While her heart skipped a bit in surprise, she slowly turned to look at the man behind her. She didn't even realize since when he had been standing there.
"You are back?" She asked and Feng Shufen walked closer to her while staring at her face.
Although his eyes didn't look deep, it made Li Xue feel like he could see through her. And that thought made her get over conscious.
Her nervousness didn't get missed by Feng Shufen. His eyes kept looking at her while he asked, "Did she create a nuisance?"
It took a small while for Li Xue to get back to her composure but soon she did and shook her head, "Nope, she was just over excited for her wedding. I am her best friend and it's my responsibility to share both her pain and joy. How can you keep away from that?"
She asked, and Feng Shufen paused at her words. His eyes not for once left her face but this ti, Li Xue made sure to not make her thoughts get obvious on her face.
"I am clear about my priorities." He said, before averting his eyes to look away in the direction of his little piece who was busy looking into the mirror.
Li Xue understood his aning and her lips got pressed in a thin line. While her hands went on her hips, she spoke in a blaming tone, "Hey, Mr. Beelzebub, you are always like this. You always speak as if your whole world is just around and WeiWei. Do you know how selfish people would think of ? Keeping you just wrapped around ."
"Also, do you know how adversely it would affect your na outside? They would believe you wrongly as a slave that has now beco all centric to his wife. Do you want that?" Li Xue said, feeling that it was a sha for any n to be called a slave of his wife.
But her such misconception broke the mont she saw Feng Shufen turn to her with confidence.
"It's not a lie. My world actually revolves around you two. And the smaller I keep my world, the better I will be able to take care of it. So, their thoughts on my life doesn't matter." He said with such seriousness that Li Xue felt it hard to respond.
She opened her mouth to say sothing but then closed it, feeling wordless about his nonchalant attitude. "You don't even care about being called as my slave?" She asked, not understanding where the man's ego, famous in males, disappeared. Shouldn't that have made him think twice about it?
Feng Shufen shrugged. "That would be a waste of both ti and energy since the truth can't be treated as a lie for long." He said, and Li Xue was rendered all speechless. Before she could say anything, the cheery voice of Little WeiWei ca to greet the man.
"Daddy Angel! You are back?" She said and the next mont, she jumped her way, getting into his arms. Feng Shufen was already all used to the girl's enthusiasm so it didn't take ti for him to make her comfortable in his embrace.
Feng Shufen humd in response to her question while the girl smiled.
"Daddy Angel, why are you so early today? Did you have less work back at the office." The little one asked and Feng Shufen nodded before looking at Li Xue.
Li Xue didn't understand his gaze at first but when she heard his next words, her face turned hot while her ears got red.
"Your Mama said she sleeps more comfortably when I am around so I completed my work early and ca back." He said while giving a aningful look to Li Xue. And seeing her blushing, he was satisfied. Smirking slightly, he looked back at the little one in his arms and asked, "How was your day at school? Did you get howork?"
As if she rembered sothing she had forgotten, Little Li Wei slapped her forehead gently, "Uff-ohh!" Then wriggling out her Daddy Angel's arms, she got down on her feet and said, "In having my sweet ti with you two, WeiWei almost forgot all the howork she received."
"Daddy Angel! Mama! Can WeiWei first go and complete her work? She will try to do it first then she will co to enjoy her ti with you guys before dinner. Can I?" She asked and Li Xue smiled before nodding.
"Sure, sweetie. You don't have to ask us that. Go and focus on your work. We will enjoy it later during dinner." Li Xue said and WeiWei turned to look at Feng Shufen, who also gave her a nod. Getting the approval from both, she didn't stay for long. Turning on her heels, she left at once to get active on her study desk.
While at the sa ti behind, Feng Shufen turned back to look at Li Xue and asked, "What was Yi Lan here for? Was it sothing urgent?" Even though he was restraining his sister to et Li Xue, he knew there was sothing crucial up on her end. Otherwise, Feng Yi Lan wouldn't have been so adamant on going against him.
Li Xue paused once again. The thoughts of Feng Yi Lan ran again in her mind but just when Feng Shufen would have seen through it, she composed herself.
It was the decision of Yi Lan and Qi Shuai and she can't let Feng Shufen intervene into it at the mont. So, she quickly shrugged those thoughts off and stared at him as if blaming the man.
"What more urgent can there be? Her wedding is around the corner and I have yet to decide on my dress. Do you think it is any less urgent? It's my best friend's wedding. Do you know how much we have planned for this day? Although I won't be the bride, I have always dread of being the best bridesmaid in Yi Lan's wedding."
"Mr. Beelzebub, I don't know but you have to help out with this." Li Xue said, successfully deviating the topic while wishing in her heart that everything turns out well on Feng Yi Lan's end tomorrow.
