Chapter 177 - Thinking To Clear Out Your Misconceptions About My Strengths.
Soon everyone left, leaving the couple back alone at the place. Of course, Qi Shuai had his share of ice cream before leaving and Li Xue made sure to make some little things clear with Chen Yujian, so that the words of this lie does not reach the ears of her co-workers at Sweet Delicacy and also the family members of Mr Beelzebub.
When Chen Yujian heard her, he almost chuckled at her innocence. Just how much delusional was this woman? Did she really think that it really helped when she was asked to become his girlfriend at Feng Internationals? With his Uncle mighty position at the top, did she really take his words seriously? Did she think that he was the man to get forced into something?
He couldn't be sure if she has been too innocent for his Uncle or his uncle has been a great trickster for her. But the result was the same at the end. She is going to become his Aunt at the end of the story for sure! He felt a little disappointed with that conclusion but without any doubt, it was something he would not be able to change. However, he wanted or whatever he tried, he just can't match his uncle's ways and brains.
"My dear Xena, you came to say these things to me. Does this mean you have something for me in your heart and you just do not want me to misunderstand you with my Uncle?" he asked in a little flirty teasing way.
At his words, Li Xue's lips got twitched, and without wasting any time, she lifted her leg and stamped it hard on his foot, making him jump in pain. "Are you back from your dream? Or do you want me to use something different? How does your brain even process such nonsensical things?" she said in a chiding tone.
"You … you … did you practice any type of martial arts before? How can your leg have so much strength?" He said still jumping with one foot while his other foot felt all numb to respond.
Li Xue almost rolled her eyes when she heard him again building his own story. Pinching the space between brows, she asked "Do you want me to use my martial art on you? It would be such a waste. I am just here to make things clear to you so that you won't go here and there sprouting nonsense. That's all. Now you can leave" She said and then turned to leave.
Chen Yujian pursed his lips when he saw her leaving. 'Such a heartless woman! Can't she see that the person in front might have something for her? How can she be such a heartless one? No doubt that my uncle is so enchanted by her. She has a nonchalant personality to entice people around'. He said under his breath, giving out a deep sigh of disappointment.
When Li Xue went inside, the man was already waiting for her, sitting on the sofa. His steely orbs were dark, but it was not out of anger rather there was something different in it. Unknowingly, Li Xue stomach tightened as she felt the hair on her skin rising. "Haha … you are sitting here. Does Director Qi already leave? I thought he will be still there until my return"
She said, strolling slowly inside. If there had not been her daughter sleeping in this house, then she would have already run back to her place. She would not have dared to come back in the devil's den again, especially when she knew what devilish air he was holding after her joke.
Feng Shufen did not say anything. He just stared at the woman coming in like a fawn coming inside a lion's den, all known of the danger, the place was having for her. Keeping his eyes still on her he waited to see what else excuse she was having in her mind. Her excuses are something that amuses him the most in this world.
When Li Xue saw that the man was not giving any reply to her words, the awkward smile on her lips deepened more. "It was a great evening. Thank you for having us here today. Now since everything is done and the guest has also left, I will also take the leave. Let me get Li Wei" She said politely and then taking a quick turn on her heels thought to get an escape from the scene.
But did she think that it would be so easy?
Just before she could even take a step ahead to run, the man called out from behind, making Li Xue halt her steps in the air. "Is there something else you want to say?" As he said his words, he slowly rose from his chair, taking his small strides towards the woman.
Li Xue's breath got hitched when she saw him rolling his sleeves up languorously and walking towards her. No doubt that this man even looks charming when he breathes. It was not like she has not realized it before rather than it was more like she has started to accept this fact more in her heart after today. Maybe because she has become more comfortable around him now or maybe something else has changed inside her, which she has yet to realize.
Putting her step back on the floor, she turned to face the man, keeping her expressions all straight and simple. "Haha … I don't think there is anything such. I mean if there had been then won't I have already told you about it?" She said shrugging her shoulders back nonchalantly in nothingness.
"Really?" he asked again, still continuing his steps towards her. His hands getting tucked inside his dress pants pockets.
Li Xue's anxiousness got stronger, seeing the man closing the distance between them effortlessly. "Hey! Feng Shufen, what are you planning now? Why are you coming this way?"
"What do you think I am planning? I am just thinking to clear out your misconceptions about me. You have doubts about my strengths, right? So I am just planning to clear them out for you" He said, getting all lazy with his words.
Li Xue was all stumped at his words. His eyes and expression were making her feel like he was going to just gobble her up at once. To say that she was scared will not be an understatement. Stuttering in her words, she said taking her steps slowly and slowly backwards, "Shufen … I mean President Feng … I did not mean anything serious. I was just … just playing around!"
