Chapter 1448 Resentments.
“What happened?” Feng Shufen sudden voice brought Li Xue out from her trance. She jolted slightly and turned to look at the man. Unable to respond to him for a moment, she turned to look in the direction where Yun Yuchun left earlier. There was not even the hint of her in the air but she could still visualize her disappearing from her memory.
Feng Shufen followed her gaze and his brows furrowed. “Who was here?” He asked and Li Xue was not surprised to see him guess it already. The man had always been able to read her like a detailed book.
She turned to look at him and couldn’t help but smile. Reaching out to turn his face to look at her, her fingers trailed to soothe the jutted brows. “Though your habit of frowning has reduced, still sometimes I can see you can’t help it. Keep trying, I am sure you will be able to change your this bad habit soon.”
She said, thinking that it would divert the man’s attention but once again she failed in her attempt. The man’s expressions didn’t ease. He still looked at her as if he was waiting to hear her answer to the question that he had asked.

Li Xue pursed her lips and blinked her eyes. “Fine, don’t give me that look. I was not playing with you. It’s just that I didn’t think that you would want hear it.” She said and the man stared at her still waiting for her to complete her words about which she looked hesitant of.
“It was your mother.” Li Xue said and she saw a flicker in the man’s expression. Fearing that it would ruin his mood, she quickly explained, “She came to attend Yi Lan’s wedding. I was surprised to see her getting emotional for Yi Lan. She takes her as her daughter and I really appreciate her thoughts. She …”
While saying all that, Li Xue didn’t even realize that she was subconsciously taking the side of her mother-in-law by putting good words in front of Feng Shufen.
But her changed attitude like that didn’t go unnoticed by Feng Shufen. His expression eased as without letting her complete her words, he said, “It has been late. You must be feeling hungry by now. Come, I will take you to have something first.” He said as he wrapped his arms around her and guided her to the other side of the hall where her delicacies of her preferences were kept.
Li Xue was all blank for a moment. She was discussing something else; she didn’t even realize how and when the matter about food came. That too with such an ease in his tone that she couldn’t even ask.
Like an obedient one in his comfortable wrap, she walked alongside him. But while walking with him, she didn’t control herself from turning back and looking in the direction where Yun Yuchun left earlier.
Something changed her perception about her today. A revelation about the woman made her thoughts turn in certain angle that she was not sure of at the moment.
“Hey, Mr. Beelzebub, are you going to stay like this forever?” Suddenly Li Xue asked, slowing wiping off her lips. The food was delicious enough to keep her involved in its taste all this while. But now that she had completed her fill, her thoughts from all this while urged her ask it from the man.
Feng Shufen stared up at her face and slowly pushed a small glass of juice. Since the meal was heavy, he made sure to customize the volume of the fruit juice so that she couldn’t refuse it.
Li Xue pursed her lips as she stared at the glass. But before she could say anything to reject it, Feng Shufen replied. “My feelings are unchangeable.” He said, and his words easily diverted Li Xue from the refusal.
Taking the glass in her hand, she shook her head and explained, “I am not talking about your feelings for me, Mr. Beelzebub. I am referring to your resentment towards your mother. Are you going to stay like this forever?”
Feng Shufen didn’t speak anything and from his eyes, it can be said he had no intentions as well. At his such attitude, Li Xue tsked slightly and then kept the glass of juice aside. Reaching out, she held his hands and spoke, “Shufen, I agree what she did was wrong and I couldn’t even forgive her. But we should also see the bright side of the scenario. What she did was to protect you, every mother’s instinct and priority are the same. Even though I don’t agree to the way she did it, I can also not deny that it’s because of her that today, we are together like this.”
“So, even if our resentments towards her are justified, we still can’t be too rude to her. That will not just be harsh on a mother but will also make us look selfish. Let’s forget the dark past and leave it in the history that got never noted down. In the present, let’s embrace everyone and everything with happiness. Only living in happiness today will bring us good memories in future.”
She said and her words were deep. Deep enough to make ripples in the still emotions of Feng Shufen. She saw a flicker in his gaze. But before she could speak more to add positiveness in it, the man blinked away because of the call from the stage.
Li Xue sighed and turned to look at the podium only to hear Qi Shuai announce the arrival of their would-be baby to everyone. It was a moment of joy at which everyone cheered.
Li Xue was also happy but at that moment her eyes were simply noting the expression on the face of Feng Shufen. Hearing the good news, there appeared a small curl on his lips. And she could tell he was happy. But she also knew that there was someone else whose presence in his life would have doubled his delight.
It might look impossible today, but in near future she will make sure that he doesn’t keep resentments in his heart for the woman in search of whom he pulled the whole world upside down.
