Novel Full Chapter 119 - Is It Because I Am Being Hard To Get?
Back inside the house, Li Xue heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, she solved the disastrous drama Mr Beelzebub has created. Feeling the relief of satisfaction inside, she turned back to look at the man, who has been silent all the time she was in the action.
"Ahh! Finally, the show got successfully over. You really did not have to be so fast at your decision President Feng. I would have handled the things on my own" she said, not noting the slight layer of happiness the man was holding on his face.
How can he not be happy? Sweetheart! She gave him that name in front of others. Of course, his heart will be contented inside.
"So, what have you thought?" he asked, looking at her meaningfully. "Huh?" the woman was a little confused at his question.
Did she miss any question? What was he asking now? She questioned herself inside, giving a suspicious gaze to the man.
"Sorry President Feng, but I wasn't able to get your words. What matters?" she asked, forwarding all her confusion in front of him. The man did not say anything, rather deep footedly took his steps to her.
Casting the spell of hypnotism with his eyes, he said with his signature melodic voice for her, "In Chiboa, retribution for one murder is the same as for hundreds. Breaking law once kills the hesitation and awkwardness for the second time. So what are your thoughts on this?" He asked and then waited for her to reply.
Li Xue was still dumbfounded. To her, his words were still out of the world. Mr Mystery of Words can you please talk in perspicuous language for once. I still belong to this mortal world where people have got average mortal brains with its limitations. She mumbled inside her heart.
Then sticking a smile on her lips, she said "Of course, I do believe in my country laws. So yes, I agree with your words, President Feng!"
"Since you already accept those laws of the country and also agree with my words, then there would not be any problem in bringing them in use in your daily life", he again worded out mysteriously. The sly smile on his lips, making the hair of her back rise.
Nothing good is coming! Li Xue, stay on high alert! Yet another trap is waiting for you.
She warned herself internally and then nodded to the man, who was really living his name 'Mr. Beelzebub' to its fullest. Waiting for his words, she prepared herself to brace the traps that were coming on her way.
"Sorry, Mr President … oh, I mean President Feng! You won't know but I follow all rules that come under the laws of our country" Li Xue said, trying her best to ignore the sly smile, directed towards her.
"Then that means you can also call me with my name or with the one you have referred me in front of those guards. It won't bring any hazard as you have already tried it so many times now. As we have discussed before; doing something once, kills the hesitation for the second trial. And here you have already repeated it so many times that there must be no hesitation already".
He explained his theory, standing all calm and composed, while Li Xue felt her head getting dizzy. So this man was actually sending her to learn law and economics so that she could finally call him by his name? True, this man can really be unpredictable.
"Haha … President Feng, I think I should hurry my actions or I would be late. And you should also not delay your important work because of me. I am all fine now and ready to go for work", she said in an awkwardly urgent tone and then took her step to walk past him. "Ah, I almost forgot, I still have to do the dishes".
She thought as long as she could ignore his words it would be fine but her thoughts were wrong. Her ignorance cannot decelerate the pace, the man was aiming for. The moment she felt that she has dodged Mr Beelzebub's words and question, a rough hand gently grabbed her wrist to halt her steps.
The moment the fingers clasped around, her breath hitched; her stomach fluttered in a weird way when a pull brought her back in front of the man. She looked into his eyes and his eyes felt more intense than it was before. Looking at them now, she realized that those eyes can easily capture any woman's heart to the point of no escape.
"For me, you are the most important person that deserves all of my attention not only for today but for eternity. So what do you think, I am doing now?" he said, lifting his fingers to push back the wild hairs that had come over her face.
"…" his words again made her go speechless. She has heard that one can still save themselves from the most dangerous typhoon but there is no way to save your heart when someone shows you their tender side that's only reserved for you and no one else. And now seeing the same happening to her, she could feel the level of intensity behind that saying.
"President Feng, I don't have any hesitation in calling you by your name. It's just that I lack confidence" she shared. "Calling you by your name will definitely change me and my attitude towards you and I doubt that it won't be good to begin it. So …"
"Xiao Xue, I will tell you one last time. Even if you reject me a thousand times, I won't hesitate to pursue you for another billion times. It will go on and on, until the day it makes changes to your heart" he said, his tone giving off his determination and stubbornness he held in his heart.
"Is it because I am being hard to get?" her words suddenly changed the air.
Feng Shufen was also taken aback with that question. Raising his brows slightly, he asked her to clear her words.
Li Xue looked at him, a slight disappointment surfacing her beautiful eyes. She was disappointed. "Did I pique President Feng's interest just because I am playing hard to get?" she worded out the same words again and then let out a light chuckle of self – mockery. "Of course, what else can that be". She confirmed herself.
