Novel Full Chapter 762 - A 'few'.
"Did I ever tell you that I love living in nature?" Li Xue suddenly asked as she looked around the house. She could not define the beauty she was looking at. At this point of time, she could say she has seen nothing this beautiful. And now, she was going to live there.
The dark aesthetic colors were suiting the décor, complementing the forest view she was getting from the large glass walls. The interiors were perfectly matching the style of the man which was kind of her favorite.
Does he know how much she has liked his sense of style? If not have the high worth and standard in the country, she would not have thought twice before asking him to be her stylist. But knowing that he was no other than the Great Demon King of the country, The Feng Shufen, she could not even dare to think that.
Wouldn't it be too much to accept? And too childish to expect?
She shrugged the thoughts with a chuckle the moment it struck her. Feng Shufen turned to look at her but didn't ask anything regarding the context, rather replied, "I have always known that".
"Known that? How? I don't have any habit of writing a journal from where you have mistakenly read these things about me. Neither have I ever being a personality to let others know about this kind of stuff." She informed pausing in her steps to turn and face the man directly. Slowly wrapping her arms around his neck coquettishly, she continued, "Then how did you come to know about this Mr. Beelzebub? Huh?"
Feng Shufen stared into her eyes. Her ambers glimmering with mischief, ready to stir up trouble with him. Without giving her any chance to do so, his hands went on her hips to pull her over to him, while face leaning in to seal her lips.
Li Xue's eyes grew big when she realized him doing so. But before she could do anything, she was already sealed under his touches. Her lips, moving in sync with his while her fingers are already moving to weave into his hair. The feel of that silky softness between her fingers was nothing less than her kind of Heaven.
After a long time, their kiss came to end as they pulled apart to look into each other's eyes. Their forehead, still leaning onto each other.
"There is no need to write a journal for me to read, your eyes are enough". The man said silently, looking at her.
Li Xue was still chasing her breath when she heard him and felt her heart skip a beat at those words. Though the man has said such lines several times that now she should have grown all used to it. But still, every time she hears him speak such honeyed words to her, she could not control her heart from losing a beat.
It was not his fault, neither hers. It was just the man was so good at it that nothing else came to help. Her eyes remained fixed at him for some more time as after, she said with a tone of accusation. "You have really grown shameless. Outside, WeiWei and Du Fan are still playing, and here you …"
"Those glasses are just for one side view" Feng Shufen again replied nonchalantly. And Li Xue was just rendered speechless. Just because the glass has got one side view, they can do whatever? Even if that meant their WeiWei was playing out? She just couldn't believe it.
She shook her head, jerking away those thoughts, and seriously said, "This is really beautiful Mr. Beelzebub. Thanks for this. I really loved it but don't you think it is kind of a little big, in respect of three people living?"
Feng Shufen's gaze also scanned the surroundings before shaking his head. Given to the staff we will need here later, this place is not that big."
Li Xue's brows tugged together as she looked around once again, twisting and turning her figure at her place, she asked, "Huh? Staff? Do we have staff here?" She couldn't see anyone around.
The man nodded without any hesitancy. "Yes, we needed a few of them here for maintenance"
Li Xue felt something amiss between his words. Like something that was not coming out clear. "A few? Exactly how much?" Her eyes looked out the glass. The fencing of the estate area has been done quite lavishly, taking as much land as they can. That only meant, the place they have here wasn't small. They were ruling quite a good region.
So, how much exactly was the meaning of 'few'? She reverted to look back at the man as waited to hear his reply come.
"We have one head maid, sixty working maids at the back of the house, five chefs at the kitchen, a team of nutritionists, ten gardeners in the garden, ten animal administrators in the forest, two veterinary doctors in the clinic camps, five state lookers rounding around, four drivers always ready with the car, and just a few bodyguards to look at the place's safety. That all" The man patiently listed and Li Xue almost felt slumping on the floor.
Was that what people call few? If that's few then what's called to have the army?
She looked dumbfoundedly at the man. She had nothing else to say. There seemed no logic in the case. She could not refuse that given to the place, they would need these many people at work but was that not a misuse. Even if that wasn't, still she felt like it was.
"And there are still a few bodyguards left to count, Mr. Beelzebub? Though I want to ask, I don't feel like I have left with any strength to do so." She said as she helplessly shook her head, then waving her hands she continued, "So, I won't be asking the details of that 'few' anymore. I feel like I am hungry and I don't want to spend the last day of the year in hunger. So, let me go to the kitchen to see what's there to eat"
She said as she turned around to walk away but then suddenly paused to ask, turning on her heels. "By the way, you didn't mention Sister Margaret, is she not here?"
"Sister Margaret is on leave. She might take a few days. Till then there will be a new head maid looking after the work". Feng Shufen replied to which Li Xue just let out an 'oh' in response.
