Chapter 191 - Sorry And Congratulations!!
Chapter 191 – Sorry And Congratulations!!
Li Xue was not sure how long she would be able to control herself. Hearing the talks of Feng Shufen and Kim Ryan, she was already feeling that she had lost something inside. Until last evening she was thinking of the man to be the gem, whom heaven might have chosen for her.
And now she couldn't believe that a simple slight difference has changed the whole meaning of those thoughts of her. The man was still the gem in his kind, but now she was no more the chosen one. Taking her thoughts in such a way, she was all ready to leave the spot and walk far away so that when her tears roll down her cheeks, no one would be there to see her vulnerable side.
Though she knew there was no fault of Feng Shufen even if he called off their fake relationship which has never been real, still she wanted to blame him for the pain of betrayal she was feeling. Didn't he say that he would be patiently chasing her until she accepts him with all her heart? Then how was he now …
Grieving in her own grief, she took her step ahead but before she could register the things, Gao Fan, who was standing at the side near her, pushed her gently inside the office room. And at the same time, Qi Shuai went inside and pulled Ryan out of the room.
Everything happened so swiftly and smoothly that both women were not able to understand it until the door of the office was slammed shut.
Looking at the man, still nonchalantly sitting behind his desk, Li Xue said with slight fierceness in her eyes and tone. "President Feng, what is the meaning of all this?"
At her words, Feng Shufen smirked a little as he stood up from his seat to walk towards her. "What's your conclusion on my actions now? You seem to be very good at drawing your own conclusions and then living it, believing that only they are the truth of this world. So what do you think I am doing?"
Saying his words slowly, he made his way towards her, rolling his sleeves up a little languorously and then letting his shirt buttons lose more than they already were. Looking at him like this, Li Xue's breath got hitched as her throat ran dry. With his every simple movement of muscles, seductiveness was dripping, glueing her more and more into his charms. Li Xue was so lost in his air of charms that she did not even realize when the man got so close to her.
"So now tell me what is going inside your brain. Why are you getting so upset?" he asked, suddenly getting all serious. The woman was also brought back from her lost world by his words, making her remember the things she has forgotten getting in the influence of his undeniable charms.
"Upset! Mr President, you are thinking too much into it. I will ask you to excuse me, I am still on my work hours and I need to work" She said, getting slightly on her arrogant side. Giving a piercing look and a contemptuous smile to him, she turned around to walk back to the door, to exit the room.
The man also did not say anything to her, tucking his hands inside his dress pants pockets, he allowed her to do whatever she wanted. Seeing him not asking her to stay back, neither giving her any explanations, Li Xue felt more aggrieved.
Storming her way to the door, she held it open, but to her disappointment or somewhat satisfaction the door was already locked, trapping her inside alone with Mr Beelzebub. "This … why is this door locked?" she asked, even though she knew the answer.
"The door is not opening anytime soon. At least not until you answer my question? So be good, turn around, come, sit and talk with me", he said. His voice came out all soft to her ears but she could feel the coldness he was suppressing inside.
That coldness could make people shiver out of fear. But to her, the confidence she held in him was more in dominance to not let the fear surface even if it was in its high power. And that confidence was also enough to bring the worst side of her in front of him. Getting all infuriated by his sober calmness, she turned around to let him know that she has not yet allowed him to be this dominating to her, but she was left all stunned to find him so close to her.
His opened buttons were already giving her the view of his firm muscular chest, enticing her to an extent where she would end up forgetting her own identity and restraints of behaviour. His grey intense dark eyes were boring inside her like it was planning his ways with her. The thought itself made her stomach flutter like several butterflies fluttering their wings.
This man … how can he become so courageous to ask me something like that, especially when he should be the one to be humble at this moment? Doesn't he feel any guilt for breaking his promises? Or does those promises never hold any importance in his heart?
Thinking it that way, her eyes instantly become glassy, making her vision go blurry. She quickly lowered her eyes to not let the man see teary but she was too late to hide her tears. The man has already seen it. She wanted to walk a little away from him but there was no escape for her since she has already been caged between his arms.
"Why are you so angry that even your eyes are unable to hold them for you? What made you so upset?" He asked all over again. This time more patiently, his fingers running through her hairs, lightly cajoling her with all tender love, he had for her. The care he was showing now felt more like the love of the father, she has read in Li Wei's Disney fantasy stories.
Lifting her eyes to face him, she let all her emotions flow down her eyes as if she had let down all her restraints she was holding all this time. "How can you even ask me if I am upset or not? I know there has been nothing between us all this time … I know that though you are not to be blamed in any of these situations … But still, I can't help but blame you for the pains I am feeling in my heart right now"
She said in between her light sobs that would have been barely audible to the man's ears if he had been standing just at a little more distance from her. "Sorry and congratulations for moving on from our fake relationship!" she said, bringing up a saddened smile to her lips, though she was intending to bring a happy one.
The man's fists got clenched at the wishes she was intending to give him but was failing very badly. Her sadness pained him but the way she was pushing him aside, rejecting him once again was even worse.
