Chapter 158 – The House Is All Yours And So Is The Host.
"Sorry President Feng! I have never intended to go against your words and decisions. But if the questions get raised on your security, then even if you punish me I will not hesitate in raising my voice against it" Gao Fan said, getting all serious in his attitude and words.
Hearing his words, Feng Shufen sighed internally. This man of his was really too loyal and caring for him to punish. "Gao Fan, there will be nothing wrong if I send two of my shadow bodyguards for Li Xue. You can train two more for me. I believe in your capabilities. So, for now, do what I am asking you to" He said, pinching the space between his brows.
But Gao Fan was still not satisfied with the assurance his President was giving to him. Maybe because he knew the depths more than anyone else. Though they had a grip over the mafia from the last few years that doesn't kill the chances of their hidden enemies.
Being at the top of the chain was not easy. They have a sea of secrets to hide and hundreds of sharks to deal with. And for all that, something that matters was playing the risks with well dependable security measures.
Gao Fan was about to say something but the man did not let him. "I would not like any more words on this topic Gao Fan. Do as I have asked you to now. Rest will be taken care of afterwards". Feng Shufen said and disconnected the call, killing the chance of his Secretary to again go all the way to contradict his words.
"Did something happen?" At this moment a soft concerned voice came from behind. The man turned to look at the woman who had walked without making him realize her presence. He was not sure how much she has heard or whether she has really heard it or not?
Shaking his head in nothing, he confirmed his gesture with his words, "No, nothing happened. Did you take your walk? Now how are you feeling?"
Eying him with slight suspicion, Li Xue maintained her gaze at him. Though she has not heard his conversation with the person on the other side of the call, she was sure that she has seen him frowning and rubbing his brows. "Are you sure?" She asked, raising her doubts.
Feng Shufen looked at her and nodded, "Yes I am sure. Why? Are you getting concerned for me?" He said looking into her eyes intensely, again using his sterling grey orbs to trap her. Realizing his trick, Li Xue grew anxious. It won't be good for her heart to get beguiled all again by the Devil. It already took her more than one hour to calm herself down before. She can't take another one hour to repeat the same.
Breaking off her attention, she quickly withdrew her attention from him and said, "You did so much for us, of course, it won't look nice if we don't remain empathetic towards you. And now you are also my friend. Taking care for you is now my responsibility. How can I not be concerned for you?"
Nodding his head in appreciation, Feng Shufen approved her words. "Quite acceptable. You better remember your words. From now on, you should remain responsible for me and also take care for me". He said and then went take his seat on the sofa.
Now, this has become very much familiar to Li Xue, not at all surprising her anymore. She has grown used to getting trapped again and again in her own words. Nothing at all surprising.
"There is no way I could forget this, Mr Beelzebub. Do you want to have some tea? I was thinking of preparing some for me and if you want I can make some extra for the guests too. Tea can always be better if drunk after meal" she asked, making her feet all ready to walk in the direction of the kitchen.
"The house is all yours and so is the host of today's dinner. That automatically makes you the hostess. So do you think there is any need to ask what to serve and what to not" He said nonchalantly, picking up a business magazine from the centre table.
Li Xue had no more words to refute now. She already had enough for the day. Giving a nod to him, she made her way to the kitchen. "Where is WeiWei?" he asked when he did not find the little princess accompanying her mother around.
"Ahh! She has just gone to the washroom. Will be back soon", Li Xue replied back from the kitchen, while brewing the flavorful tea. Looking at them right now, there would be no one to reject the fact of them being a sweet family of three.
Right at this moment, the doorbell rang, notifying the arrival of the guests. "Shufen, are you sure of my presence here? I feel like …"
"Do you want me to prove that again? If you want, I won't mind but it would make the guest a little bored outside. Or are you thinking to welcome them to present our love secret? I won't mind that too. So if you say, we could …" the man suggested playfully, getting up from his seat to walk by her side.
But before he could reach the concluding words of his idea, Li Xue interjected, not able to take his shameless words anymore. "I am all fine with dinner, I think. It's just a dinner I am helping you with. Nothing else. This thing must be understandable for every level headed person. Haha …"
She tried to pun towards the end of her statement but nothing came out well when she saw no change in the man's expression. "Okay, fine! Let's go and get the guest first. It won't be good to keep them standing out", she said, trying to avoid the situation she has created non-intentionally.
"Hmmm, that is more like it. Let's go", he said, making his way towards the door along with her, tucking his hands in his pocket.
As the door got opened, Li Xue's expression changed. Her eyes swayed back to look at the man whose nonchalance was now becoming too hard for her to handle.
