Chapter 772 - Gifts coming from in-laws.
While WeiWei sat politely between her parents, looking ahead at the road, focusing on rembering the route; Li Xue was continuously sneaking peeks at Feng Shufen from her side. Her eyes were shining with a glimr that was showing both confusion as well as contentnt.
Du Fan could see that as well and he was sure his Young Master was also aware of the lady's glances. But what was keeping him anticipated at the scene was the silence.
It might look simple but deep down he could see an interesting story within. After all, this was the first ti he was seeing the Young Master keeping the lady in confusion for so long and enjoying her small glances from ti to ti.
Du Fan's eyes turned to look at Li Xue. He could tell that her patience would not be lasting for long. She already looked at the brink of losing it. It was not hard to tell how good the Young Master was to bring the people to the edge. The lady was still the strictest he has co to know till date, otherwise, no one else has ever been capable to hold so long.
As expected, their Madam was exceptional. Who else could match her charms?
Du Fan was internally hailing the na of Li Xue when he saw her turning to look directly at Feng Shufen. Her patience, getting thinned almost reaching the silver line.
"Hey, Mr. Beelzebub! Are you doing this purposely? Can't you see that I am stealing glances of you? Won't you ask what is it all about?" Li Xue asked, pouting a little. Her voice, holding the irritation she was feeling within due to the man's deliberate ignorance.
Hearing her mother suddenly asking that, WeiWei, whose gaze remained at the road all the ti, turned to look at her in confusion. Her lips, pouting a little as well but in perplexion. Slowly tilting her head on both sides she examined her Mama's expressions minutely, before turning herself back to revert her gaze at the road.
"Mama is a little unhappy about Daddy Angel's ignorance. But it will be fine soon. Nothing is there to worry". The little girl said to no one in particular but it resounded well to let everyone understand the situation. Her contemplation ca so quickly that even Du Fan was surprised to see that. But then given how sweet and obedient daughter she was to her mother, her quick understanding of Li Xue's expression was understandable.
Li Xue didn't mind her daughter's sudden words. She knew her little devil has got a habit to read her expressions and then announce them to the whole world. At the mont she has not got a problem with that, rather what was seeming problematic to her was the man's deliberate ignorance just to prick her.
"Mr. Beelzebub, I am asking again. I am stealing your glances here, won't you ask the reason behind it". She repeated again. This ti slowly emphasizing every single word she spoke.
Feng Shufen turned to look at her. His expressions were clearly nonchalant. "You want to ask you?" He asked in return like even if he asked the question it won't remain his intention to know the answer.
Li Xue's lips pressed together. "Generally, people ask when they find people stealing glances of them".
Wasn't it common to ask? Then why was this man like this? Can't he for once act as common people do?
"Stealing could attract people's attention. But inspecting one's own possession doesn't attract".
Feng Shufen said casually, without giving any change in expression, and at those words, Li Xue could not help but be speechless. At the front, even Du Fan choked on his breath. Though he has gotten already used to the high brand dog food, still every ti it was served, he felt sothing unexpected. Might be because he was still unused to accept this side of his Young Master.
Li Xue was experiencing no less. Getting speechless at such honeyed words of the man, she has already grown used to it but still, every ti she hears him say things like this, she could not help but feel her heart skip a beat at it.
"Fine, Mr. Beelzebub, I was not stealing but inspecting. But still won't you ask what this inspection is all about? Even if you don't have interest, you still should ask , given that's how things go. So, co on, be quick to ask now that you have known rules". She said, not holding her patience any longer.
Feng Shufen smiled. Seeing her like this, a sense of achievent fills his heart, knowing well that this was the side that only cos from her when she sits around him. A side of her that was full of innocence, childishness, and adorableness.
"What is it about?" Not teasing her desperation more, he finally asked. His face leisurely resting over his arm that was taking the support of his knees.
Satisfied with his words, Li Xue took a deep breath in while she asked, "What changed so suddenly?".
Feng Shufen's brows raised as he looked at her, to which the woman explained her words more descriptively, "I an, last ti when I knew you were kind of not in favor of seeing anyone from the Royal family. Then today, why did you let accept the gifts Her Highness sent ? I thought you would just ask to not go too personal and return them back. Did sothing happen that changed your perception?"
Feng Shufen stared at her. His eyes were all blank. Li Xue looked at him. She knew he had answers to her questions but for so reason, she was just unable to read them in his eyes.
"Mr. Beelzebub …"
"How could I reject the gifts coming from my in-laws?" Feng Shufen replied and his words at once made Li Xue knit her brows. For a mont, she thought it to be so joke but then she realized that the man was not the kind of person to joke. Then what does that an?
