Chapter 394 – Rare Auctioned Pendant From Black Market.
In a VIP lounge somewhere,
Gao Fan sauntered in with a working tablet in his hand. His expressions, all stoic and tough. "President Feng, in the last 4 days, Madam has been on her regular monotonous routine. Going to the Dessert Shop, then meeting Ms Feng Yi Lan and CEO Su of Glamour World and then returning back to Little Carnations. Everything looks perfect and normal around her, nothing endangering her security except there was a gift anonymously delivered to her last day"
Feng Shufen's eyes instantly went still. He raised his gaze at his secretary in askance. And understanding the cue, Gao Fan instantly added, "We have yet to trace the sender of that gift. It was a very rare auctioned pendant from a black market. It seemed like Madam knew the sender since she readily accepted it without showing any reluctance".
The man did not say anything. His expressions, all calm and composed. "Anything more?" He asked after a little time without showing any concern on the previously heard words. Like he was too sure about something.
"President Feng, earlier today in the morning, Madam has come to the main building of Feng Internationals. She has stood there for quite some time and then without going in, she left. The bodyguards said that there was no special purpose behind her visit. We fear that she must be in some problem and would be looking for you to ask help" Gao Fan said, taking a pause in his words, waiting to hear his President's orders.
Gao Fan has never been concerned about anyone else apart from his President Feng, not even about his own life. But knowing the importance of Li Xue in the life of his President, he could not help but look after her safety and security too.
Feng Shufen's lips curled a little at the corner. It was so slight that if the secretary was standing anywhere away or near then he might have not seen that arc of satisfaction on the man's expression. "There is nothing to worry Gao Fan. Your Madam is self-sufficient in dealing with her problem. Due to some jerk person in her past, she has lost her trust of dependency on another person and has structured herself so independently that I could only feel proud of her".
Gao Fan was confused. Didn't men always like to help the beauty in trouble? Don't they like women when they are frail and weak, always leaning on their man for getting the help and dependency? Then how come his President was so satisfied seeing his woman all strong and independent?
"But President …" He started to show his doubt but Shufen interrupted him.
"There is nothing to worry about. Just keep the people around her to ensure her safety and also find who was the person to send the gift to her" He said as his eyes showed a mysterious glint at the corner.
"Yes, President Feng! I will ask our men to be all alert" Gao Fan assured politely and waited to get more orders.
Shufen nodded, then simply looking at his laptop, he asked, "What are the updates here? The men who got injured, are they recovering well?"
"Our injured men are recovering well but some of them will not be able to serve us any longer. The training base here is not that stable yet and might need another week of our stay here. So …" Gao Fan reported the updates as it has been drawn on his tablet but before he could complete it the man added leisurely.
"Wrap everything before this week ends. My daughter will be having her debate competition next week and I want to be there to celebrate her winning". Feng Shufen said as his hands slammed the laptop to shut lightly and stood up to leave.
It has already been four days of him being away from her side and he has already started to get a vibe that his stubborn lady would have started cornering her diet. He would have called to ask only if the situation of the place had not kept it necessary to switch off the phone and all other networks of connectivity for all his stay in Caracas, Venezuela.
How can he be careless to put their safety at stake? Especially when his enemies are just looking for opportunities to attack him on his weakest point.

At Sweet Delicacy,
Suddenly a ringing phone snapped Li Xue out from her trance. Her hands moved fast to look who was the one calling her but her lips curled downwards when found again it was not the person she was waiting for.
The contact detail was unknown which made Li Xue frown more with irritation. Connecting the call, she was about to lash out on the person on the other side of the call.
But just when she was about to word out her frustration, the voice of the person on the other side took her by surprise. "Is my Fairy Queen getting irritated because of my call? Should I disconnect it for her happiness?" As the man completed his words, a soft familiar chuckle rang in Li Xue's ears making her smile in remembrance.
"Jing Wei Jin!" The woman gasped in surprise as she pulled away her phone to look at the 10-digit number that had called her. After a long time, her amber eyes shine, having the smile of happiness. "Which new country are you staying in now? And your number is again changed? Can't you just stay stable at a place so that it can be easy for us to reach you?"
Li Xue said with a slight rightful reprimanding tone. Her one hand resting on her hips.
But instead of any wordy reply from the other side, only a soft peal of signature laughter came which made Li Xue press her lips together in a thin line. "Wei Jin, I am serious here." She said letting him know the firmness of her words.
"Why, if I got stable at a place, would you agree to marry me?" the words came out the moment the chuckle came to a silent end.
