Chapter 344 – Ace In My Pack Of Cards!
After the call was disconnected, Li Xue was left all bewildered, not understanding what new, her friend was up to now? But the point of relief as she knew what she had to do next.
Putting her phone down, her eyes wandered to look at the man and much to her expectation, his eyes have been fixed on her for quite some time now. Pressing her lips together and then pulling it up into a little smile, she asked, "What happened, Mr Beelzebub? Is it that fun watching me like I am the 8th wonder of this world?"
Feng Shufen shamelessly nodded as he agreed, "Mhm – hmm! Very much!"
"Uff – ohh … Mr Beelzebub, your verbal seduction is too tough to handle in the morning. Don't target me this early please, I still have the whole day to concentrate especially when I have to look at what new Yi Lan is up with", Li Xue said, letting a sigh of a deep breath out. "Now I will go and get ready first. You, enjoy your day".
She added as she kept the magazine back at the table and stood up to walk away. But her steps halted when heard the man say from behind, "You don't have to force yourself to sign any contract with anyone. You don't have to worry I will look into everything for you".
Feng Shufen said. The woman turned to look at him, raising her brows slightly and folding her arms at her front, "Is President Feng, offering to become my manager?"
The man looked at her for quite some moment as if he was pondering on her words and then he nodded with some understanding and said, "It's not that bad idea to execute!"
Li Xue's lips instantly twitched as she said, slightly scrunching her brows into a frown, "Mr Beelzebub, don't you have a company to run? How come you have got so much free time to dilly – dally around with waste works. I am sure if your company suffers because of it, there will be millions and millions of people to curse me".
Feng Shufen's eyes came to get fixed her face, his eyes never blinking. He said, "Indeed, I have a company to run. But I also have a wife and family to look after. And without any say, to me, my wife and family come to stand first."
His words paused as his eyes multiplied the waves of determination in it. "Li Xue, any work that involves you is not a waste to my benefit, rather the most profitable thing for me to crack. So don't worry I am versatile enough to multi-task ". At the end of his words, his lips curled a little to present a soft, warm smile but that curl was not capable to overshadow the firmness of sincerity and determination his eyes showed.
Li Xue looked at him and had no words to say any further. Knowing what position the man holds in the mighty Feng Internationals and also in the country's economy, she could not dare to think his work an easy task to do. She wanted to refuse him straightforwardly but seeing the good faith in his resolute eyes, she could say that he was concerned for her and she knew that the very concern was as genuine as his love.
Her eyes went soft as she looked at him. Taking a deep breath in, she walked back to the man. He was already standing up on his feet from the moment she stood up to walk upstairs. Getting up to him, she initiated the moves instead of the man.
Wrapping her arms around his waist, she demanded his attention as he has always demanded from her. But did she really have to demand? The man was already ready to serve his everything to her, decorated on a golden platter.
His eyes gave her the attention she was asking for as he raised his brows slightly with wordless askance. The woman smiled softly under his gaze and that was a way enough to melt his heart. "Mr Beelzebub, do you lack belief in me?" she asked suddenly and the man instantly shook his head in disagreement.
He did not know when but she has long become his only belief in this whole world where solitude was his only favoured domain.
"Then why are you clipping my wings. Though I have lost the power to fly up in the sky once, still the sky was once my place. I am not that naïve to not find my own way to reach my dream destination" she said. Her tone was asking him to understand the things she was not able to present to him, thinking that it might be rude and against the love and care, he was offering to her.
"You don't have to restrain yourself in front of me, my love. Even with your worst tantrums you would be still as adorable as a harmless rabbit in my eyes". He said, reassuring her but then added, "I am not clipping your wings. I am just a little concerned for you. Though I know you don't need my help, I still want to get involved to avoid even the minimal chances of you getting hurt. I am just trying to do my best to support you so that one day when you are up on the stage, receiving your fame … I will still be a part of that proud success".
Li Xue was speechless at his words. She has seen him like everything but not like a man to say something like this. She knew he was possessive to care for her, brutal against the enemies he hated but he would have such a sweet side inside such rough and tough exterior … she never knew that.
"Mr Beelzebub, how did you even think that you are not part of the success I am planning for. The path and aim I am working for have got you as an ultimate trophy for me to achieve. What proud success is there where you would not be involved? You have always been there because it was you who has revived the dream that has long been dead inside me". She said.
"Furthermore I cannot reveal all of my cards in front of my enemies. You are the ace that I have got in my pack of cards. I will make use of you at the times when my enemies will least expect it". She added on, curving her lips and brows to support the smug she wore on her face.
