Chapter 193 – Compensate Them.
When heard his disdainful words, Li Xue felt a pang in her heart. Was he disappointed in her? This question arose in her heart and in that instant she felt her heart clenching tight making her feel unbearable.
Her eyes became slightly glassy but there were no tears at edges to roll down. It was just to maintain her gaze at him. Her composure was still calm and composed, no matter how stormy and anxious, she was feeling inside.
Feng Shufen also kept his gaze still at her. He thought back about last night when he asked her to stay and talk to him. But she, being hard-headed like she has always been, did not accept and took the little piece back with her, giving her another excellent excuse.
"Tell me, haven't you realized my true feelings even for once? Or have you taken me too much for granted since I was the one to propose to you and pursue you even after you rejected me, again and again, he asked, slowly taking his time to comprehend his words himself? Still, at this time, the last thing he wanted was to hurt her with his harsh words.
He knew he would be losing his temper if he didn't rein his emotions at the tight time. But it was simply getting impossible with her being so obstinate. With this stubborn woman around his emotions never tends to remain in his control.
Li Xue took all his accusations. She did not know from where she got the guts but putting a sarcastic smile on her lips, she asked, becoming too mean in her words. "Did I ever ask you to pursue me? To chase after me even when I rejected you the first time … to give me the promises that never were your top priority? Did I ever?"
She asked, getting a little riled up. "It would have been better if you let me alone and would have never cared. Better enough to let me live the way I was living before. More in loneliness and fear. Fear of being alone, the same as I am at this moment. You should have never bothered yourself to take care of me as you did …"
She paused again giving him the look that pierced his heart once again seeing her in pain and emotional agony. "And what was there left for me to hear in your conversation with Ms Ryan? Wasn't everything already clear enough to let me know that you have also been another businessman who values their business more than the feelings of a woman, whom they have given promises of assurances?"
As her words shot out one after the other, the man no more knew how to respond to them. He was feeling a little joy at the corner of his heart thinking that finally, this woman has worded out her genuine inner thoughts in front of him. But at the same time, he felt more dejected knowing how roughly she has taken his love.
"Do you really think I am a man like that? Do you really think that I will be such a waste to let you go away from me when all my happiness and satisfaction has become dependent only and only on you? And what for? Just for a stupid deal with some company, I don't care for?" He whispered slowly, getting his face a little more close to her.
When felt his smooth, dark voice near and intense gaze more close to herself, she could not help but feel herself shivering a little in response. "I – I …What I said before was not completely wrong? I have heard everything before and they were …", she started but wasn't able to complete it as his eyes were making her weak. Averting her gaze quickly to the other side, she thought to avoid his eyes, but the man did not let her do that. His fingers soon went to hold Li Xue's chin to make her look back at him.
"Don't be stubborn again and look away from me like that. Listen to me when I am letting you know the things you have taken wrongly", he said. But Li Xue swatted his hands away, giving a low 'hmph' at the end. His softness was making her more and more spoiled arrogant but he did not care. He loved her more in that way. Being all childish for him to pamper her more.
He looked at her adoringly, pulling his phone out of his pocket. "Fine, since you have yet not heard my words complete, neither have I completed my conversation with the representative of K. M Enterprises. So let me do it now". He said as he dialled a set of numbers on his phone, making a call.
Li Xue looked at him, a little confused, not understanding what he meant with those words. As the call got connected, he said in the cold commanding tone for which he was known for. "Gao Fan, go to our lawyer and get the contract termination file I have asked him to prepare. The K. M. Enterprises seem to be eager to terminate their project contract with us. Grant them their wish".
Feng Shufen ordered, pausing to look at the woman gaping in surprise in front of him. Li Xue had no words. What does this mean? The termination of the contract! Does that mean he has never agreed to the terms of Ms Kim before? He has chosen her to be the priority above his company!
Her heart instantly felt the warmth of assurance he was giving her by letting her know the things she has been avoiding all this time. Letting her know how much important she has been to him all this time, when she chose to remain in the oblivion, rejecting his efforts and feelings again and again.
But what about the hefty amount of compensation that will cost him, if he will be the one to terminate the contract signed? Won't she become the one to be blamed at the end? She thought and as if reading her mind before she could word them out, the man nonchalantly added his words.
"Compensate them the cost, without them asking for it. But at the same time, withdraw all our shares of investments out of their other businesses and their other projects. I won't want any connection with them in the future".
