Chapter 989 - Stand No Chance.
The next day, like before, the family of three left home together in one car. With Du Fan driving in front and Gao Fan following from behind, Feng Shufen companied the two girls to their daily routes.
Soon the car halted at the arrival of the school. And the little girl excitedly took her school bag back on her shoulders ready to leave with her Daddy Angel, while waving at her mother. But then suddenly, she turned back to look at Li Xue to say, "Mama, though WeiWei knows that you won't forget, still she would remind you of our plan for the weekend. Don't forget about it."
She said and Li Xue nodded to her, seeing her walk away.
After some while, Feng Shufen returned back and the drive once again began. The air was silent but was still vibrant, similar to the season of spring.
Feng Shufen turned to look at her, only to find her again busy on mobile. Looking at her getting all so silent, suddenly something struck his thoughts as he asked, "Were you satisfied last night? Or are you still disappointed with my skills?"
Li Xue paused. Though she didn't turn to look at him immediately, her fingers paused on the phone screen made it evident that she has heard him well. After some time, her eyes went to look at the front, as seeing the stiffness on the facial feature of Du Fan, it was not to tell that the ambiguous words has reached his ears as well.
"Not satisfied yet?" When saw her not replying, Feng Shufen probed again and Li Xue turned to pass him a glare.
"Mr. Beelzebub, what are you trying to do? We are not alone." She said in a low voice with a tone of threat, gesturing the man to look at Du Fan who was driving with some awkwardness on his face.
Feng Shufen looked at him and just shrugged his shoulders to say, all in a straight face as if his words never held any second meaning. "I am just asking you if last night, you were …"
Before he could repeat it again, Li Xue turned to press her hand over his lips to restrict him. "Last night, we were just discussing things about my work. Do you have to make it sound like that?" She gazed wrinkling her brows at him in urgency mixed with pleading that was requesting him to not tease to the verge of embarrassment.
Feng Shufen raised his brows at her and Li Xue immediately understood what must have pricked him. It was only the last time she has heard him chide her about using phones on moving cars. And again, today she was doing the same. But does he really have to do that? Doesn't he always use his laptop in the car as well?
Putting the phone aside with her pursed lips, she agreed to accept his words with a rebellious look on her face. Fine, fine, you won this time. But next time, I won't lie down as well. Wait for it! She sulked internally, before finally removing her hands over his lips.
Feng Shufen's lips tugged up slightly seeing her wild obedience. Then shaking his head, he eased the air, he built himself. "What I mean was are you not satisfied with my skills of choosing people around you? If you have any problem with that then you can just let me know and we could …" He said as his eyes meaningfully turned to look at Du Fan who was looking at them from the front in the rear mirror.
He didn't mean to gaze back, but when heard Feng Shufen mentioning dissatisfaction regarding the chosen people around the lady, he couldn't help but look back curiously to see if he was also involved in the list. And seeing the meaningful gaze of Young Master come his way, he could only feel the hesitation in her heart.
Feeling all poor inside, he turned to look at the lady instead, blinking at her with his puppy eyes.
Li Xue felt his pain and instantly turned to look at the man to say, "Mr. Beelzebub, didn't you say that you chose the best for me. Why would I want to change them? Even if there is something I am eager to work with them on it on my own. You don't need to bother." She said and it instantly put Du Fan to relief.
Though it has not been long for him to get appointed under the lady, he was enjoying his time taking her here and there. Not like he was not happy serving Feng Shufen before, but with the lady, it was much more relaxing to say.
Feng Shufen looked at Li Xue and was not surprised. Of course, he has long known that to the people around her, she would never be insensitive. But there was someone about who he needed to confirm with her. "And what about your manager? If you are not comfortable then …"
Li Xue shook her head before even the man could complete his words. "Though I know you are the treasured piece of my life Mr. Beelzebub, whom I won't bear to lose now; still, I also know Sister Xinyi very well. Not just she is the best for me, but she is also a woman of her words. If she has said that she would always support and guide me professionally then she would do."
Feng Shufen looked at her confidence and Li Xue added more, "Furthermore, it's not wise living in the past. She might have loved you back in some days. But presently, I got you all for me. So, others stood no chance."
She said and Feng Shufen wanted to really chuckle proudly at her confidence. Nodding at he agreed, before promising all seriously. "Fine, since you want it like that, I would support you." He said, before turning ahead to look at the car.. Though he said that simply, there was something in his eye that he kept there in hiding.
