Chapter 923 - Now For Whom You Have Fallen For?
Though almost every guest was already inside the venue, the media people had not left the entrance. They still stood outside waiting.
"What do you think? Li Xue has not yet arrived. Will she not be coming here today?" A camera person asked, looking through the snaps he had captured in his camera.
"I have made sure, the invitation has been sent out to her and very likely was accepted by her company as well. We just have to wait for a little more time and see. Or else our arrival here would be wasted."
"Our company has at first rejected the idea of covering this engagement. But since it was about Li Xue and President Feng, we couldn't miss the chance."
"Yeah, but then again, did you not hear what Sying suggested earlier. Li Xue might be heartbroken so there are chances that she might not come. Furthermore, how could someone even believe that Li Xue could be with Feng Shufen? I mean that's simply impossible."
They were talking among themselves when suddenly a flashing headlight from a distance interrupted them. Turning to look, they found a midnight black Rolls Royce Phantom standing at the entrance. They were surprised to see the car but were more surprised to think who was inside.
"Who is in the car? Is it some guest attending the engagement as well?"
"Not sure! But do you think it can be Li Xue?"
"That's Rolls Royce Phantom. If Li Xue is inside that alone would be making a piece of good news. Let's wait and see who it is." They all guessed on their limits and thoughts, while the car stood still without any movement of someone stepping out from it.
Inside the car, it was Du Fan sitting in the driver seat while beside him, the shotgun seat was occupied by Su Fai who was a bit in a grumpy mood. Though he was holding his grumpiness well, the hints of it were still evident in his expressions.
While behind, Li Xue was with Feng Shufen. Looking out, she took a deep breath and then turned to look at the man to say, "Ah, not bad. Though I am late, it seems their wait has not yet given up. They seemed to be waiting for us."
"Mhm. It's good. You should go now. But don't get too naughty inside. Be good and let me know when done. I will come to pick you up." Feng Shufen nodded and said, deliberately giving just short and soft glances her way. His eyes were burning inside, but he was trying his best to keep his best calmness.
Li Xue pursed her lips but eventually nodded. Before turning to look at Su Fai to ask, "Are you ready?"
"You still remember me here? I thought you were going to take your man along and shake the whole world." Su Fai said, looking at the couple through the rear mirror.
"How could I? I have already given you the word to take along. I can't eat my own words. Furthermore, Mr. Beelzebub is busy and would not have time to have fun with me today. So it's better for me to not disturb him." Li Xue said thoughtfully like a matter of fact and Su Fai didn't know what else he could say.
Does she mean he was free to have fun around? Woman, I am accompanying you so that you don't get there alone. Who said I was free to roam? Moreover, can you ask your man to be a little easy? He has already stolen away the woman and matching suit of your dress from me and has also taken a role in my company, yet treats me as a rival. Can't he get a bit liberal with me? I am now just your friend, not his love rival.
He murmured internally while looking at Feng Shufen in the mirror, whose eyes were as usual very sharp on him.
"What? Are you not ready?" Seeing Su Fai still sitting, Li Xue asked again, furrowing her brows at him.
Su Fan immediately nodded. "I have always been ready. It's you who were busy taking advice from President Feng, not me." He said and Li Xue gave a look to him which he shrugged off, pushing the door open to get down and reaching to open the door for Li Xue."
Helping out, he whispered, "Don't blame me afterward for causing trouble. The reporters have snapped my picture getting down from the shotgun seat. They will be asking you later why you have not allowed me the seat beside you. At that time I won't be explaining. If you want, then tell them who was the person sitting beside you." He said and Li Xue shot him a glare.
"Did you have some problem? Why are you cornering Mr. Beelzebub in every sentence? First at the selection of your clothes and now on the car seats?"
"You still asking me that? You know your dress is a couple-designed version that comes in pairs, but you man didn't allow me to wear that. And then second, I was the one to accompany you here, yet he chose to sit beside you. Did you not think people will get to talk about that?" Su Fai complained and Li Xue could only look at him as if she couldn't believe his words.
Looking at the man, she simply asked with an expression of doubt, "Who is the one for whom you have fallen now?"
Her question choked the man on his words as coughing out a bit vigorously he said with a sense of surprise, "What? I mean how … what do you mean?"
Li Xue suppressed a chuckle, looking at him, "Fine I will ask and explain to you next time. Now, let's focus on the people we have at the front. I am sure you would not want me to reveal the same to them. Or else, not just my simple question but many other complex ones will be coming your way."
"You …"
"CEO Su, let's go. We shouldn't delay more.." She said before comfortably wrapping her arms with him to walk ahead.
