Chapter 239 - A blind date.
When Li Xue returned to the room after completing her work outside, her little daughter had long left the phone back at the side table and had moved to look into the mirror.?"Ayee! What happened WeiWei? The call?", she asked, gesturing her back to look at the phone.
"Ohh, Mama! Daddy Angel disconnected the call because you were busy. He had a eting to complete" the little girl inford and Li Xue felt a little weird for a mont but then shrugged her shoulders back thinking that she must be overthinking about it.
"It's fine sweetheart. Now let's quickly make our move. Aunt Yi Lan will be here anyti soon. Co, I will help you put on your shoes", she said as she took Li Wei to get on her shoes

Before a month, Feng Shufen's schedule never knew anything about the weekends. He has kept himself into work for 24 hours of a day and 7 days of a week. But since the appearance of both Li Xue and Li Wei into his life he has never let go of any of his chance to spend his ti with the two.
But today was a little different. He wanted to avoid the four continuous lined up etings but couldn't do so seeing how long the clients have waited to get this appointnt. Breaking the code of professionalism was the last thing he would want to commit.
Attending all the three etings back to back in a line, he was happy when his work was about to end. Only one more eting was left to call it a day. So pulling out his phone, he called Li Xue to inform her about his early wrapping of work only to know about her plans for dinner with Feng Yi Lan.
There was no problem in Li Xue going out. But he knew his little sister well enough to know that her intentions were not so simple as portrayed in the words of the little WeiWei. Bringing Li Xue dresses only to wear during a simple plain evening dinner was a little too much … This girl must have got sothing in her head. This was not at all simple.
Disconnecting the call, his eyes gave a warning glare to Gao Fan. "President Feng, do you need sothing?" Gao Fan asked when he saw his President looking at him with a gaze that was telling him that everything has been his fault and if again sothing goes wrong then he will be held guilty for it.
They have just co to a private lounge to take so rest before the next eting could start again. The clients still needed ti to reach the office while their team staff needed so rest.
Feng Shufen did not say anything. He just pulled his hands up to look at his watch and everything was already evident to Gao Fan. Quickly scrambling his legs, he went to follow the orders.

Soon the car ca to halt at the city's best restaurant, Spoon Cuisine. It was a very posh restaurant, known for its appointnt organisation for the custors. Rated with 5-star Michelin rating for good numbers of years now, it was truly hard to book reservations there as the list never had any spare seats. Even the A-list celebrities and other powerful personalities needed to take a month-long process to make the reservations to dine there for one evening.
Li Xue was not new to the place. She has been to the place in the past too. But her eyes went wide when she saw they had co to dine at such a difficult place when their plan was recently made just two weeks back.
Turning her head to look at the lady who can be blad for such a big surprise, she said, "Yi Lan, from when, were you planning to co here? Are you trying to make a scapegoat for sothing? Why such a lavish place? We would have dined sowhere else".
Feng Yi Lan shook her head as she said disappointedly, "I never thought my friend would take such an easy one. This place is nothing, you know. What do you think of ? I am capable of booking the reservation even a night before if it ans to bring a smile on your face. Being a top designer of the city, of course, I am at least capable of doing so … you know my fa and popularity".
She said boosting her fa and popularity up to the level of the sky but Li Xue knew everything well. No doubt her friend was capable of even digging the graves of people and then coming all cleaned and unhard from it. But this place was not any simple restaurant, to begin with. This place has a record of not giving any care to anyone.
Squinting her eyes sharply at her friend, Li Xue said, "Really? You are capable of that much? I thought you have been even better than that." Her words were sarcastic enough to reach the peak.
"Fine, fine, I am not that capable but it's not wrong to use my elder brother's na sotis. I think I can afford to do that once in a while", Feng Yi Lan said ekly with a slightly guilty tone as she shrugged her shoulders back in nonchalance.
"You used whose na?" Li Xue was stunned for a mont thinking if she was missing any crucial part of the story in the middle. Knowing her friend wisely, she also knew that using Shufen's na for sothing like this was not in Yi Lan's character. Then what has made today's evening so important to do so?
Pouting her lips lightly out, she said, "My brother's na!" She took a pause and then coming to her childish tone she continued, "But sweetheart, you can't bla for anything. To make my friend's blind date more morable, the setting around should be the must".
The more Li Xue heard her friend, the more she beca stunned. Her eyes widened in surprise, more like in confusion when she heard her later words. "A date? For ? Yi Lann … what absurd are you planning in your head", she scread in a low voice, not knowing exactly how she should react to all this.
"Mama, what's a blind date?" Li Wei asked looking up at both her mother and Aunt in confusion. All this while she was busy looking at the shiny lights around but when heard her mother's panicked low scream she turned to question them. Without knowing the aning of these terms she won't be able to help her mother.
