Chapter 102 - Henpecked Husband In Creation !!
"Ms Li Xue is fine. Maybe it was because of some stress that her face went pale, otherwise, there is nothing serious", Dr Huang said, after checking Li Xue.
Feng Shufen did not give any response to the doctor's words. His eyes fixed at the woman, who was sitting all unfazed with her health comments. Like she knew her condition from the beginning.
She was stressed! For what? He was sure that she was fine, early in the morning then what happened to her when he left her behind in the car. His brains took him back in the time when he saw her pale complexion.
There was something on her phone that made her like that! He concluded in his mind.
Gao Fan looked at his Boss and does not know how he should react to this scene. His President now was completely different from what he has known him before. The rapid changes that he can see in him were indicating him towards the title, 'Henpecked husband in creation'.
Putting his things back into his bag, the doctor stood up in order to leave but when caught the serious gaze of the man, he was confused not knowing whether he should ask for leave or should wait for the President to break out from his serious thoughts.
Li Xue too can feel the sharp piercing eyes of Mr Beelzebub at her but she was trying to ignore them. She can't lift her eyes up to look at him and answer the words that were questioning her reasons. She was praying to her stars to make the man let go of this matter or else there will be no way left for her.
The President's office room was in utter silence with a woman sitting on the sofa; a doctor standing near her all stiff at his place, ready to fly off at the sound of the whistle; Mr Beelzebub with his eyes fixed at the woman who was now provoking him to go deeper in her past to know what's troubling her and the Mr Secretary, Gao Fan behind him trying to guess the appropriate moves at the scenes.
"Dr Huang, please this way. I will accompany you the way out", Gao Fan said, finally deciding the best thing in the scenario. The doctor was already waiting for this, so when given the opportunity he did not show any hint of hesitation and followed the secretary the way out of the office.
When the two men were leaving the room, Li Xue wanted to plead to them to not leave her alone in the den but her words would have brought her more questions so at the end she stayed silent. Left alone with Mr Beelzebub, she had no idea how the things would be coming out now.
She waited and waited, but the grisly silence did not die off. His stares still remained at her while his lips remained sealed close. 'Mr. Beelzebub, can you please not stare at me like that? And please I am not used to your silent side, please don't offer me such dreadful silence', she screamed internally, freaking out at the situation.
"Is there something you want to tell me?" Finally, the man asked, breaking off the horrifying calm air he has built around.
Li Xue bit her lips and cursed internally, 'Can't my prayers work at least once in front of Mr Beelzebub. No, no, not this time. I have to start growing tough too. I can't let him influence my behaviour'.
With a sudden determination in her heart, she lifted her face up to look at the man. Her amber eyes, clearly asking for a chance of dominance once. She looked really cute and adorable like that. But it also made him curious to know what was the sudden source of her determination.
"Yes, President Feng there is something. But it's nothing that I want to report you, rather there is something for which I want your reasons", Li Xue said, getting all firm with her words.
"Please go ahead then", the man said plainly, hiding his amusement inside. If she wants dominance over him, then he will happily give it to her. He will be more than happy being dominated by her.
Li Xue looked at him and took a deep breath. 'Yes, I am doing this. Come on Li Xue don't hesitate now. You can escape from this with your words', she boasted herself internally as she stood up and took her steps towards the man.
"Fine, then I will just be direct with my words and intentions, President Feng. If you feel my words or tone any impolite then please bear with it because I could not control it today. I want to know something real serious from you", she said, standing just in front of him.
Looking at her, showing this courageous side against him, Feng Shufen could not control his lips from getting curled. She looked none less than a wild lion cub at this moment who was trying to imitate herself to be the grown one.
"Ms Li Xue, please do not hesitate and go ahead. I won't mind your tone but the contents you are bringing up", Feng Shufen said, tucking his hands into his dress pants pockets. "But it would be good if we could sit and talk. Your words are giving me hope for a longer chat today", he gestured her back to the couch with his eyes.
Hope! Hope for a longer chat! Li Xue was stumped at his choice of words. She has put her best to pull out this side of her in front of him, yet this man is all calm with her. No hint of strangeness in his eyes, like this bold side of hers, did not put any effect on him. Were her plans not working out?
She followed his advice and then walked to the couch to take a seat. "President Feng, I want to ask you if you knew from before who I was? I mean did you know that I was your sister, Feng Yi Lan's friend", she asked all of a sudden, turning back on her heels.
Feng Shufen looked at her, tilted his head a little to give some thought and then said, "Yes, I knew it!"
