Chapter 417 - Invite To The School's Annual Event.
Though there was no telepathy, having her ears so near to the man's heart, Li Xue could hear his beats all clear to ears even in her sleep.
And knowing exactly what his hastened beats meant, she moved to wrap her arms securely around his waist, shifting herself more comfortably on his lap. "Mr Beelzebub, you don't worry. I won't ever leave you. If destined to hell, you are my eliciting temptation of torture. If destined to heaven, then you will become my only angel of goodness" She said with a soft mumble, knowing exactly what words would soothe the man's anxious beating heart.
For a moment, Feng Shufen was taken aback with both her actions and her words. But realized the actuality when he saw her eyes still drooped close. No doubt, she was sleeping all perfectly. Her courage in front of him either surfaces when she gets jealous or when she is sleeping.
The man shook his head at her unique antique as his eyes also went to droop close in exhaustion, heaving a deep breath out. Even continuous work hours of 24x7 could not exhaust him in the way this woman has done today in just a few hours. It's a relief that at the end of the day, she was back by his side all safe and secured, or else … He could not even imagine.
His lips arched to give a slight smile of satisfaction feeling her in her all curled up in his embrace but then it drew again in a straight line when remembered that there was still something left to resolve.
Her picture with that man?
His arms tightened around her when the flash of the picture in the brocade box resurfaced in front of his eyes.
Li Xue squirmed in response as she again mumbled lightly, "Mr Beelzebub, why are you still upset? Are you not yet satisfied with my flattery words? Fine, I think this might be enough to satisfy you then".
Feng Shufen paused, not understanding her words for a while. He stared for some time but even after a few moments, there was no movement in her. Looking at her sleeping so calmly, it felt like her words were not intentional, rather it was just out of some dream.
But just when he thought to forget it thinking that way, her fingers found its ways through his hair behind, bringing him down, close enough to her lips.
Before the man could get the time to register anything, her lips were already over his, conveying her words from earlier to him in action. "I love you, my dear husband!" she mumbled again over his lips but this time her words were much louder from before, maybe because all the attention was already frozen at her courageous act.
At the front seats of the car, both Gao Fan and the driver went still. They never intended to witness something like this, but the soft incoherent whispers of the lady took their attention to look at the rear mirror.
Feng Shufen was also stumped at her actions. Though it was not their first kiss, still her initiation was enough to blow off his thoughts. The kiss was about nothing, just like a soft, feathery tender touch of the petals. But the power it held behind could send the man to madness, the same as it was happening at this moment.
Just when the man understood what was happening and was about to enjoy her initiation, the touch was already gone. Gone in a way where everything seemed nothing but an illusion of his thoughts.
Could he even complain? No, definitely not!
Could he be upset at her courageous actions? Even not in his dreams! She has been an innocent temptress from the first day he has seen her. There was no way in which he could be upset.
But then could he torture her in the same way as she did to him? Mmm-hmm … Maybe much better than her!
A shine of mischievousness crossed his grey eyes as he looked at her fair face for a little more while longer.

At the same time, back in Chiboa, in the Feng Household main mansion.
The old man was sitting in the garden, enjoying the flavours of Pu'erh tea along with the warmth of Vitamin D from the sun. And a man dressed in all formals was standing at the side with his hands folded behind his back with a gesture of politeness and respect.
"So, how is everything going in the organization? Any recent things after the voidance of the partnership contract with Kim Enterprise" Feng Yu Hao asked, taking a light sip of the tea in his mouth.
"Everything is going fine, Master Feng! Young President Feng has been handling everything well and our organization is flourishing both domestically and internationally. With him in command, you can rest all assured. His leadership qualities could rule the world", the man in formals said, boasting Feng Shufen's skills and capabilities to the fullest.
The old man was instantly satisfied. On his son's capability, he never had any doubt. He knew well that with him in the organization, Feng Internationals will always be shimmering in profits.
"Good! That's good! Also …" The old man said with pride but before he could proceed any further with his words, he was interrupted with a call. His words paused as his eyes went to look at the display screen of his phone.
Receiving the call, he asked, "Hello?"
"Hello, sir! Sorry for disturbing you at this early hour of the morning. I am the Principal, calling from Cygnus International School, one of the schools which you have been supporting from its years of the establishment" The person introduced herself from the other side of the call.
Feng Yu Hao pressed his memories to remember the name and when he did, he added, "Yes, I remember. What happened? Any need or crisis?" He was one of the trustees of that school.
"No, not at all, Mr Feng. The school is doing all well now under the continuous care of Feng Internationals and our other trustees. There is no crisis. This call is just to invite you with all respect" The Principal said with soft laughter of embarrassment.
"Invite me? For what?" The man asked, giving a slight raise to his brows. Since he has left the President position of the Feng International, it has been rare for him to get such invitations as he has always avoided any appearance in the public.
"Yes, President Feng! We have called to invite you to our school's annual event!"
