Chapter 691 - Not that great actually.
On the other side, it was night for Shufen when suddenly his phone dinged a ssage. For the whole day, he was busy with work and even the night looked like another addition to the yarn of his sleepless tale.
Though the sudden ding of the ssage didn't break his concentration from work, he still looked displeased with the interruption. Reaching his phone, he glanced at the text ssage before giving a call at the number.
"Did you find sothing?" He asked as the call got connected. And a puffy w.h.i.n.e ca from the other side, showing an equal disappointnt.
"Hey, can you ever talk like a friend? Why every ti I call you, you always get to the point instead of greeting properly?" Qi Shuai said and with his voice once could hear the shivering grit of the teeth. "Sotis you can even ask how I am feeling? If I am feeling right? Or like I am sad?"
"…" No reply ca from the other side and for a mont Qi Shuai even felt like the connection was lost or the phone got disconnected.
"Hey, Shufen! Are you even hearing ? Hello? Hello?" He asked, pulling the phone away to check if the call was even still ongoing or not. But when saw that the line was still on, he asked again, "Shufen, did your phone break?"
"If there is nothing important, I will hang up the call." Finally, the voice ca but it was at its peak of disinterest that clearly warned, 'don't poke if not prepared for the consequences '.
Qi Shuai paused, feeling the terror coming. He could sense it but who told that he was the person to ever take the warnings seriously? As always for every situation, he has got his ways. Pausing for a few seconds, he cried, "Shufen, why do you always treat this way? Is it fun? I am here dying from cold yet you are there being so ins.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e towards . Do you really not value a good friend like ?"
"…"
"Fine, I have called you to let you know the things here. Don't give silent treatnt like this. I am not your girlfriend to take care of that." Qi Shuai said, accepting defeat.
"Speak!"
"Aish, even after having Sister–in–law in your life you have not learned to love this world. You only care to get praise from her. Anyway, let tell you the reason I called." Qi Shuai w.h.i.n.ed again but restrained his whining before Shufen could explode.
"The things here don't seem simple. You might also rember this place. It's the sa place where you got admitted five years back. Though nothing seems confird, yet there is one thing I am sure of. The low-stooped things that happened with Xiao Xue here were not related to Wen Sying. Neither did she have such high resources nor brains to execute such a dangerous thing".?He inford, his voice suddenly taking the curve of seriousness that was nothing like his playfulness from before.
Feng Shufen on the other side of the call heard everything. But until the end didn't bother to give even a word. Only when he heard his friend taking a long pause did he say, "Anything else?"
"Yep, a very interesting thing is left for to say. There are so rats around these days. Just not yet sure which house they belong to." Qi Shuai said, walking to the window to look out in between density of the bushy trees. Nothing around looked out of the picture yet, a rustle or two would always co in the anti.
"Rats are not that hard to trap." Feng Shufen said before disconnecting the call. His eyes, showing so darkness that held another mystery to unfold.

Back in the Royal Palace, the air sounded silent. Li Xue has already prepped a dish out of her taste and skills, and has asked the maid to bring it out to serve.
"Umm … I have tried sothing out of my skill. Have a taste and let know if it can go according to your preference, Your Majesty", Li Xue said as she gestured to the maid to serve the dish on the plate.
At the side, Shin You Jun was sitting with childish smugness over his face. "Wait! How can you even serve that to my father? Has it been tested before? What if you have poisoned it just to get back on ?" He said, deliberately trying to get on Li Xue's nerves.
"That's enough! Don't blabber nonsense here." Shin Tinming rebuked before gesturing to the maid to continue. "Since she has cooked, don't judge it before having a taste".
Li Xue smiled. "Crown Prince, don't worry whatever I have cooked, it was under the supervision of Mr. Cao. There is no way I could poison it. Furthermore, I won't think of getting back at you with poison. I have many other better ways for you". She said, laughing out lightly to make her words co out like a joke.
"You …" The young prince's nerves twitched but when heard his parents chuckling, he could not help but purse his lips.
"Xiao Xue, you know how to cook these?" Chen Rui asked suddenly. Her eyes, looking at the platting of the dish. "This dish looks like it ca out from so hotel chain of Feng Internationals. I heard that you have worked there for so years".
Li Xue shook her head. "Not really. My specialization has been desserts for the last five years so?I am not any great in savory tastes." At that information, the young prince at once felt at a loss. His eyes widened as he got up from his seat, pointing his fingers accusingly at her.
"You … you have cheated ." He accused, making Li Xue raise her brows in confusion.
"How so?"
"You never told that you were a chef before".
"You never asked , Crown Prince. But there is a correction. I am not a chef exactly, I am a dessert chef who rarely tries her hands on savory dishes like this professionally. So, I doubt that I have cheated you in any way". Li Xue replied back with a smile.
