Chapter 908 - Even Though There Was No Escape, She Was Safe.
"Yes, this is the Conference floor. Are you also here for attending the press meet?" The person who has pressed the button to call the elevator on the Conference floor of the building replied.
And Li Xue was all frozen for a moment. Her eyes turned to look at the person before turning again to look at the floor that was definitely looking familiar from the first time she visited here.
"Ma'am, I haven't seen you before? Are you also a reporter?" The employee asked when saw Li Xue getting all puzzled looking around. He has already seen her top to bottom and however, he tried he couldn't remember any colleague of his to have such a perfect body and such beautiful amber eyes.
Before Li Xue could reply anything to the person, from a distance she heard several steps coming towards her. Her thoughts got muddled but when she regained her senses a little, she was about to step back inside the elevator and quickly press the key to the higher floor, but it was right when people say that – there once comes a day in everyone's life when all your luck runs out.
And something similar to that seemed to be happening with Li Xue at the moment. No matter how many times she was pressing the keys of the elevator, they were just not working for her.
.Getting a bit frantic, she asked the person who was standing in front of her, looking like he couldn't understand even a bit of the happenings in this world. "Is there any other way to get out from this floor?"
The employee looked dumbfoundedly at her and nodded his head after great thought. "Yes, there is a way."
"Where?" She asked before heaving a breath of ease.
The person casted his finger to gesture in the opposite direction to say. "There is a staircase on the other side."
And with his reply, Li Xue already knew that now she has got no other escape. She would again be troubling Sister Xinyi with another stream of news. Her eyes glinted with horror as it turned to look in the direction from where the sound of steps was already getting close.
She was trapped with nowhere to go! Li Xue was ready to brace herself with that thought when finally flashes of a few cameras hit her eyes. Her eyes got closed on instinct as she knew no other way to retreat from the situation.
"She is there."
She heard someone yell loudly and along with it came many other voices that sounded very eager to know her. She heard their steps racing towards her and was prepared to face their questions mutely the next instant, when suddenly something around her changed.
The air of fear of getting caught by others that she was feeling inside changed into something comfortable and warm as the very next second she felt a warm embrace wrapping around her body, blocking the cold air that she was feeling from outside.
"It's fine. Stay calm, nothing will happen. I am here." The soft voice of Feng Shufen came to whisper near her ears and she knew that even though there was no escape, she was safe.
Her eyes opened only to find herself cozily hugged in between the arms of her Mr. Beezebub and just like that, her lips curled up to smile. Humming, she agreed to his suggestion and her palpitating heartbeats from moments ago got calm.
But wait, what happened suddenly? Li Xue's brows furrowed with some confusion. Weren't people already rushing her way? Weren't there already the camera flashes flashing at her? Then why did everything seem so silent suddenly?
Did they teleport from there?
Though her movements were restricted in between his arms, she still moved her eyes to look wherever it was possible. And unlike her thought of teleportation, they were still standing in the general elevator of the company, with her halfway inside while Feng Shufen, just on the line of the elevator's sliding door.
Then what happened to the reporters that were all ready to get her and Feng Shufen's secret out? Did they disappear? Why is it so quiet?
"Mr. Beelzebub, what happened to those reporters? Did they disappear from this planet?" Li Xue asked, getting all full of confusion. Her hands slightly pushed the man back, detaching herself a little so that she could look up at him. Even though she has pushed the man a bit away from herself, her whole figure was well hidden by his.
Feng Shufen looked down at her face and replied nonchalantly, "They are still outside, behind me. But don't worry, they can't see you." His tone was so soft and casual that for a moment hearing him say that even Li Xue forgot the most important facet of the situation.
When regained the memory of her forgetfulness, her brows wrinkled with some concern as she said, "Mr. Beelzebub, this elevator seems to be broken. The floor buttons are not working. Even though they can't look at me now, will that change the fact that we have gotten caught by them here? Sooner or later in the day, they would definitely see me and know our relationship."
There was worry written on the wrinkles of her forehead, but unlike her worried expression, Feng Shufen was all calm and composed at the scene. His face held the tranquility that was even showing the effect on Li Xue.
"What? Why are you still looking at me like that? You don't believe me that this elevator is broken?" Li Xue asked, not believing his expression. "Mr. Beelzebub, we are caught. Let's just accept this." She added and the man's lips tugged up at her words.
"What?" Li Xue asked again and to his askance, Feng Shufen simply nodded to say.
"Then let me take the blame?"
Take the blame? What does that mean? Li Xue was flustered at his words, unable to think of the meaning. Was he talking about taking the blame for their relationship? Of him trapping her into it methodically?
Even though it was the truth to say, she couldn't see the chances of anyone believing it. After all, who would believe that any woman would reject the strong advances of the Feng Shufen, for whom thousands of women are ready to die?
Li Xue shook her head at the thought and was ready to ask him to not make her a laughing stock in front of everyone. But her thoughts were a bit too late. Feng Shufen had already turned around to give his statement to the frozen reporters.
