Chapter 1359: Why everyone was hiding her past from her?
Chapter 1359: Why everyone was hiding her past from her?
Li Xue was taken aback by his words. She blinked at him. For a second, trying her best to make herself believe that she had heard him say that and was not just imagining it.
After giving herself some time to absorb his words, she raised her brows at him and asked back to confirm. “You are actually agreeing that we were together. Like in love?”
Feng Shufen, himself didn’t know why he agreed to reveal it to her when he, himself, knew that if her brain nerves got triggered anyhow, except calamity nothing else would be sure. But at the moment when she asked, he couldn’t bring himself to refuse.
Nodding once again, he accepted, “Yes, we were together in love.”
Li Xue couldn’t control her lips from curling upwards. It was not that she was smiling, rather it was like her heart that was making her smile. She simply had no control over it. Seeing him accept their relationship which she has lost all her memories about gave her a sense of achievement.
But then remembering his close yet distant attitude from the last day until today, she felt upset. Her brows jutted as she stared up at him to ask, “If we shared something, why did you never come to make me remember anything. Was it fun to see me forgetting all of it? Or did you simply never care?”
She didn’t know how their relationship was. But if it was really as Feng Yi Lan mentioned. Then she might be the only one chasing him with her deep feelings for him while he never cared. Was there even any future in such a relationship?
When Feng Shufen saw the accusation in her amber eyes, he had no words to explain. Did he really never? If he never cared for her then was there even anyone for whom he genuinely cared?
That week after the accident when she regained her consciousness, he was first to rush to her. But the gaze with which she looked at him was simply too cruel for him. Not even his whole strength was able to withhold him from shattering that day.
Even remembering that gaze now was enough to pierce his heart into a million pieces. How could he not care for her?
He had tried to make her remember but instead, he got her brain nerves triggered, almost making her go back to the unconscious state from which she had recovered. The doctor has clearly stated that her situation can’t be put at risk. How could he selfishly think about himself at that time?
“I …” He thought to explain to her but in the end, found nothing suitable to be explained.
Li Xue saw him hesitating and couldn’t help but chuckle. She knew there might be valid reasons for him to stay like that. But still, she can’t bring herself to accept it. She might be stubborn-headed in this matter but things were simply not that easy for her to accept. If she loved him, he should be the same. He should love her too. If he doesn’t, she couldn’t understand why she was still loving him.
Did she also have a reputation to keep?
Thinking it that way, Li Xue no longer waited to hear him explain anything. Instead, walking up to him, she looked up straight into his gray eyes. It was only now that she realized that even though she had the best height among women, she was still a lot shorter than him. In front of his building, she looked quite petite. But still, his presence never seemed to intimidate her, rather gave her the space to be comfortable. She could sense it by simply standing in front of him.
“President Feng, I don’t care what reason you held by keeping all this to yourself. But let me tell you this was unfair to me. And Li Xue would never take the unfair treatment. You would have to pay for it.” She said, fiercely warning him before turning on her heels to walk upstairs straight.
Feng Shufen stared at her back. He wasn’t upset, neither with her tone nor with her warning. Instead, he felt like he was unburdened now that he has told her about her togetherness.
Upstairs, Li Xue went straight to WeiWei’s room. As said, WeiWei was already lying on the bed with her back to the door. Upon walking inside and taking a closer look she realized the little one was already fast asleep. She couldn’t help but softly chuckle at her.
Wasn’t she all excited to play downstairs? Now she was sleeping so soundly as if playing had never been in her plans.
As Li Xue smiled at her, she slowly slid down beside her before tucking herself and the little one under the duvet. Pulling the little one under the wings of her arms, she fell into slumber without even realizing it.
When she woke up, she felt the movement beside her. Her lips curled automatically in response as she asked in a gentle tone. “When did you wake up, sweetie?”
The little one giggled before turning on her stomach to look at her Mama’s face to say, “Approximately fifteen minutes before you Mama. WeiWei woke up naturally.”
“Mhm-hm?” Li Xue looked at her and the little one nodded. Only then the mother ask again, “If you were awake already, why did you not wake me up?”
Little WeiWei pressed a devilishly innocent smile as she spoke, “Because WeiWei was enjoying playing with Mama’s hair. If she would have woken her up, not only would your sleep be disturbed but also my gameplay would have ceased. So, WeiWei let you enjoy your sleep while she enjoyed playing with your hair.”
“How thoughtful of you, sweetie!” Li Xue said as she sat up to look for her phone.
When Li Wei saw her Mama looking around for something, she asked, “Mama, are you looking for your phone?”
“Yes, sweetie.” Li Xue nodded before looking around in search of it. “Have you seen it anywhere?” She asked and the little one at once flipped to get it from the other side drawer.
“Here it is, Mama. You were sleeping when your phone rang. So that your sleep doesn’t get disturbed, I have kept it in the drawer. But now that you are awake, you can have it.”
She said as she extended the phone and Li Xue took it to check through the message and call log first. There were several messages from Lin Xinyi. When she opened it she realized she had sent her the options of dresses that she would have to wear the next day at the party.
And then there were the missed calls from, the palace. When she got reminded of the breakfast she had at the palace, the grumpy face of her father flashed in her memories. At that time she didn’t realize what had made him upset, but now that she thinks about it, she could tell it was because of Feng Shufen. The mention of his name ruined the mood at the table in the morning.
Then does that mean that her father knew everything about her relationship with Feng Shufen? If yes, why have they not told her about it?
She couldn’t understand but without getting answers to her question, she felt uncomfortable. Nope, she won’t be able to take this for long. She couldn’t remember anything, that was still understandable. But she couldn’t understand why people have to hide her past from her.
She was thinking and trancing off in her own thoughts when a gentle tug on her sleeve woke her up.
“What happened, Mama? Is there a problem?” The little one asked, noticing the frown in between the brows of her mother.
Li Xue looked at her and paused. Then thinking something in her head she said, “Sweetie since we have spent so much together today, it’s time for me to leave now.”
“But Mama, we haven’t played yet/. Didn’t you say that you will play with me?”
Li Xue pressed her lips in a thin line before reaching out to cup her cheeks adoringly to say. “Of course, sweetie. I know we have yet to play. But it’s just now I remembered something. I need to complete it soon. How about we play when I come again the next day.”
Although WeiWei was reluctant. She still nodded before holding her Mama’s hands and walking downstairs.
They had only descended downstairs when Li Xue caught the sight of Feng Shufen opening the door for someone. Although the face looked familiar, she couldn’t put a finger where she had seen him before. In a daze, she said. “This …”
And before Li Xue could even get time to blink, WeiWei spoke in her sweetest voice. “Mama, that’s my Uncle Cutie. He is also Daddy Angel’s friend and Aunt Yi Lan’s future husband. He loves me a lot and I love him too.”
And the moment she completed introduce, Qi Shuai’s eyes caught her as slowly, they darted to look at Li Xue.
