Chapter 1008 – If You Are Ready To Introduce Me As Your Wife.
Late at night, Li Xue on chance woke up suddenly. This was unusual but the moment she woke up, she sat to have the glass of water first. Once satisfied, she turned to look towards the side only to frown in bafflement.
Huh? Where is he? Hadn't he yet come to sleep?
She questioned internally to no one particular before looking at the clock only to find the time was near midnight. Wasn't it already late? Why was he still working? She thought before removing the duvet to get down on the floor to check on the man.
While at the same time in the study, the lights were still on indicating that Feng Shufen was inside working late. Though there was no work pressure that required overtime from him, still his farsightedness has prior signaled him about the coming challenges in the future. And for that, he was there working and planning to be ready.
After all only if today he works hard, tomorrow he would be able to provide his woman and daughter a safe home and family. And for them, he was more than willing to sacrifice his sleep.
He was typing some continuous string of characters on his laptop when suddenly heard his phone ring on the side. Knowing all well that except for Gao Fan, it couldn't be anyone else calling him at this time, he picked the call without any hesitation.
"President Feng, today in the evening, almost all of the Feng relatives has gone to the gathering of the Zhang family. They might be making the move soon. There is an air saying that next week they might be arranging another gathering at the main mansion."
Without holding another time-taking greeting, Gao Fan quickly reported for what he had called.
Feng Shufen was about to say something to him but right at the moment, he heard someone pushing the door open. He held back his words as he saw Li Xue walking inside with frowning brows. Her expressions were still half laced with sleepiness.
"I got it. You can rest now." Not wanting to make her hear too much about the family mess, to Gao Fan, Feng Shufen simply replied giving a hum before disconnecting the call. Then looking at Li Xue, he asked, "You woke up?"
Li Xue simply nodded before walking in to ask instead, "You have not slept yet? Is there something important?"
Feng Shufen looked down at his laptop with some thought but then shook his head with nonchalance. "Just usual. Nothing special." He said and Li Xue raised her brows.
If it was really nothing special, then what made him sacrifice the essential sleep?
There was no way Li Xue would believe his word, knowing well that he was there just lying to her. Suddenly she remembered about what she heard about Feng relatives from Du Fan last day. And her brows tugged together in thoughts while staring at the man.
Was that the reason that was keeping him up late like this? She thought and there seemed a possibility.
"What are you thinking?" Seeing her lost in thoughts, Feng Shufen asked, gently tugging her to make her sit on the desk.
Li Xue blinked and shook her head to nothingness as well. Since he had not shared with her directly, she couldn't bring up the matter herself as well. So, taking another way round, she switched the topic to ask, "Who were you talking to earlier? Was it Gao Fan?"
It wasn't hard for her to guess. Since the Secretary's precious President Feng was wide awake working, there would be no way the loyal secretary would be thinking to enjoy his sleep. Even if it was to rally to Hell, she was sure Gao Fan would be one of the people willing to accompany Feng Shufen.
The man nodded and it instantly made Li Xue question the another second, "What was he talking about?"
Feng Shufen shook his head and was about to dodge the question when Li Xue's hands went to hold him by his shoulders to ask, "Don't dodge it; just tell me what was it about?" Her eyes grew small, telling all clear that she may not let it slide away that easily.
Feng Shufen smiled looking at her like that but then revealed in a simpler tone that would never make anyone suspicious of anything. "He was just reporting to me that next week there might be a gathering arranged at the main mansion. Some relatives are planning it. Nothing important."
Li Xue nodded. So she was definitely not wrong to guess that. Her eyes trailed to look at a distant object that was nothing, in particular, just a point to strain her concentration on. "Are we going there as well?" She asked and Feng Shufen's brows immediately got raised hearing her choice of pronoun.
"Do you want to go?" He asked. Though he has never particularly thought to take her to meet the relatives of his family; that was just for keeping her away from the stress. He didn't want her to manage all that mess and forget the things that meant important to her. But if she was willing to come, there would be no way he could deny, after all, she was his wife and it was her call if she wants to meet his family or not.
Li Xue gave some thought and then added to say, "Yes, if you are ready to introduce me as your wife." She said and how could Feng Shufen hesitate in that.
Even before they were not married, he has proclaimed her to be his wife. Now that they were actually registered as husband and wife, there was no way he would miss the chance. If she was willing, he was there more than willing.
Nodding, he at once agreed. "Fine, then I would ask Gao Fan to make the arrangements." He said and Li Xue nodded. But then giving some thought to the ritual and tradition she asked.
"By the way do I need to prepare something?"
Feng Shufen smiled, before reaching to tug the strand of hair behind her ears. "Just be prepared to officially announce yourself as Mrs.. Feng."
