Chapter 178 – Heaven Will Give To Their Chosen Ones.
Li Xue was all dumbfounded at his words. She had no idea of what was going to happen next and there is no way she could guess it too. The way Feng Shufen was looking at her was simply giving her the feeling that he would just gobble her up in one go without leaving any burp inside.
Was Mr Beelzebub so offended because she raised a question about his strength? Yeah, it can be said that their strength is prestigious to them like beauty to women. But even women would not feel this agitated if someone called them ugly on their face. How come it's so much different for men? She questioned herself biting her lips, not knowing what next she should do.
Stepping back, she stuttered her words all anxiously. "Shufen … I mean President Feng … I did not mean anything serious. I was just … just playing around! There is definitely nothing serious behind it. Furthermore, how can someone even raise suspicion on your strength? Your aura itself vouches for it. Such a strong and dominating …"
Before she could even get to complete her words, the man already approached very near to her making her stumble on her own. "Ahh!" She yelled lightly out of fear but like always before she could take the fall hard on the ground, the man enveloped her into his arms.
Her eyes were closely shut when such scenes unfolded and she had no strength to open her eyes and see Mr Beelzebub's dark cold eyes. That would make her shiver and in return will let the man know the weakness he was becoming for her. She could feel and smell his cold minty breath on her face, making her realize how close he was to her.
So close that even a simple, unintentional movement from her side can result in their lips touching. Realizing it, she held her breath tight. This was not only out of anxiousness but also out of consciousness that she was feeling in her heart. To her, without any doubt the man was very fragrant, his breath was also minty and fresh but she could not be sure of her own. After all, the sour and spicy food she had earlier, she couldn't be sure that if …
Sighing internally on her own thoughts, Li Xue decided to hold her breath hard and eyes closed. Unknown to her own actions, she did not even realize, her fingers have already clutched on his arm letting him know all the strong feelings she was going through inside.
Feng Shufen smirked when he saw her like this. So finally her restraining walls are weakening in his presence. Looking back at her porcelain face which has already turned red from holding breath inside, he asked, "For how long are you planning to hold your breath and keep your eyes shut? Your red face might give people wrong feelings and I might lose my …"
Li Xue's eyes instantly snapped open giving out all the warm breath she was holding inside as she can already guess what words Mr Beelzebub was intending at the end. "Not bad at all! There can be nothing dislikable about you in my heart. Didn't I say this earlier? How can you still be so conscious about such things?"
Feng Shufen said lazily, keeping his eyes fixed at the woman all dearly. Li Xue puffed her cheeks lightly as her breaths became heavy and inconsistent with the small stunt she has pulled before. Looking at her again giving such an adorable, the man could not control his lips from getting curled adoringly at her.
They were still close, so she was still avoiding any unneeded movement. "So mean and dominating!" Li Xue said, giving him an expression of badly treated. Seeing him smile softly at her, she thought that the situation was under her control but she felt highly mistaken when she saw the man's grey orbs getting darkened again.
Before she could even react, her slanting posture got straightened under the envelope of his arms and with one swift pick, she was brought to fix her back straight on the wall. Li Xue could not find any reason for the sudden change until she heard the man's deep alluring voice.
"Darling, you shouldn't use your words so recklessly, especially in front of a man", he said as he brought his lips closer to her quivering ones. Li Xue was all confused at his words. Did she say something wrong? How come she did not realize any such thing?
"Huh?" raising her voice of doubts lightly, she could not help but feel the butterflies in her stomach. This man was making her feel the things she has never felt before.
"You know your words and expressions are the daring provocation for me that keeps challenging me every time, making me love my control with you. But these innocent eyes of yours are the weakness of mine which I can't dodge even if I want to. They keep on urging me to not do anything which will push you far away from me. Do you even know; how hard it is for me?" he said, placing his forehead on hers and lowering his eyes to look at her face…
Closing his eyes shut in disappointment at himself, he let the woman know the actuality of the situation. Li Xue could feel his words, same as he was able to tell what she was feeling inside. She could feel the restraints he was keeping on himself, only to protect her sentiments and boundaries.
At this moment, looking at him, her heart softened. This man was different from everyone she has met before. She has never thought that a man will ever be capable of keeping her feelings over theirs. Seems like there had always been an exception for her. After having an experience with her selfish father who always used her for making money and trash boyfriend; what trust in men she could expect from her heart.
But this man was far different from them, without any doubt. A treasure that Heaven will only give to those who are their chosen ones. Her heart fluttered when she realized that she might have a chance to have such gen in her life. Deciding her thoughts, she was all ready to accept her heart feelings in front of him when suddenly a soft sleepy voice came from the stairway. "Mama! Daddy Angel!"
