Chapter 116 – Right To Know His Rivals.
"President Feng, I wanted to …", Li Xue thought to show her gratitude to him for the last day. Though she has not remembered everything after waking up in the morning, getting all clear-headed after a warm shower, every memory from before got reeled back in her mind.
But before she could say anything, Feng Shufen stopped in his movements of slicing the savoury crepe on his place and interjected, "Can you stop calling me President Feng again and again. At this moment I am not your boss"
The woman was dumbfounded at his request. "Huh? Then what should I call you? I am all used to calling you, President Fe …" she again initiated to call him with the same title but halted when caught the dangerous eyes of Mr Beelzebub.
"Call me with my name", he said and then went back to slice the food on the plate. "Same as you did last day", he added.
Li Xue looked at him and then said blinking her eyes twice, clearing her own thoughts. "Sorry, I can't do that. My work regulations do not allow me to cross my lines. I can't disrespect my superior, less to mention your high distinguishable position"
Feng Shufen looked at the stubborn woman. She really knows how to present her reasons. "I never asked you to disrespect me. But I can't always remain as your boss, especially when I don't take you as my employee". The woman felt stumped once again. Her eyes got locked at him, while the man continued with his actions.
Li Xue coughed when she felt like getting choked inside. This man … What does he want me to take him as, if not Boss?
"That Mr President, I think I should eat a little fast. I need to leave for the restaurant too. It's my first day and I can't let my co-workers doubt my potential", she said, taking small but quick sips of the rice congee from her bowl.
Since she was forbidden to call him 'President Feng', she came up with a new term. Feng Shufen was really amazed. He wondered if little WeiWei had got her witty side from her mother.
At this moment, the phone kept on the table vibrated with an incoming call. Reaching out leisurely, the man picked up his phone to answer. He didn't say anything, rather only heard what the other side had to say. After getting the information he wanted, he disconnected the call.
"I have asked the security panel to upgrade the security measures for the place. Later go and submit a list of the names of your visiting guests and relatives to them. The people apart from that list will not be allowed to enter", he said, placing his phone back on the table.
Li Xue looked at him and was bewildered. A change in security system! Was this because of the things that happened to her yesterday?
She wanted to ask him but at the end restrained herself fearing what if she was also cross-questioned. She would not be able to say anything. She would not be able to recall her dark past again. So in the end, without saying anything she nodded and went back to complete her small bowl of congee.
"Did you call Yi Lan to check on WeiWei?" he asked, wiping off his hands. Li Xue looked at him and then affirmed, "Yes, I called her before. Yi Lan was handling her perfectly; there is no need to worry as she also said that she will be dropping her to school by herself". The praise was deliberate and the man knew it very well.
How can his young sister handle a kid when she herself was none less than a child?
"I can understand. I have already sent Butler Fu to her place. He will make sure that Weiwei is sent to school in a proper way", he said and then picked up his phone to make a call. Li Xue was about to refuse him, asking him to believe Yi Lan but before she could say anything her phone rang.
The ringtone also took some attention of the man who was sitting across the woman on the table. Li Xue stood up excusing herself to receive the call. "I don't want him to disturb the peace of the place. Make him leave", he said as his eyes went to trail towards the woman.
"Hello, Bojing!", Li Xue greeted her side. Bojing was the young boy from the small town they had previously been living before the woman got her promotion to come to this city.
"Sister Xue, how are you? Did you forget us after going there?" the boy asked childishly from the other side.
At his words, Li Xue found her lips curling up, "How can I forget you? Of course, I missed you and everyone there. Sorry, I was not able to call you as you all know how much excited our little can get over something. She has just started school and misses you the most". She said her words, not noticing the changing glints of the man's eyes behind her.
Feng Shufen looked at the woman's smiling face and felt a strong curiosity rising in his heart. Her such blissful smile was a rare sight. Though he had seen her like that last night too when she was in her dream but still this side was something that came once in a blue moon.
"Bojing!" Feng Shufen repeated the name in his head to make himself remember it clearly. At least he has the right to know his rivals that will be appearing in the future.
Soon Li Xue disconnected the call and returned back to the dining table. Seeing the man, getting all completed with his breakfast, she asked "Presiden … Ummm sorry I won't repeat it". She apologized putting her arms up in surrender then continued, "Will you like to have some butterscotch mousse cake? I prepared it yesterday for Li Wei."
Li Xue felt like she had taken advantage of Mr Beelzebub by making him cook so many things for her. Misused his skills and innocence in the wrong way!
The man looked at her and then said with glittering eyes. Looking at him right at this moment Li Xue instantly remembered her sweetheart. Her expressions go same as Mr Beelzebub whenever she receives any reward or praises from her mother.
"I can never refuse the desserts you prepare!" he said, making the woman feel her cheeks blush.
