Chapter 60 – Make You Change Your Mind.
Due to her past experiences, Li Xue has really lost her trust in relationships. To her, these things no more mattered. It was good when she saw people around getting in love but thinking herself in those feelings was something she will never think of.
Knowing the events that happened in her past, Feng Shufen had a little idea of her bitterness. But still her words made his fist clench tight. For some reason, he felt indignant at her. Maybe because her words intended to not give him any opportunity. He felt vexed when she referred him just like some other men in her life.
"Are you sure?" he asked all of a sudden, seething internally.
Li Xue, who was walking in front, suddenly halted her steps. Did she just hear something? It had already been quite some time after she had completed her words. To her everything seemed fine as the man didn't respond anything after her words and they continued to stroll towards his office.
The woman took those words as an illusion and continued to walk forward. Feng Shufen looked at her ignorance but didn't say anything. He let her walk in his cabin full – fledged, a place where he never allowed anyone to enter this easily and that too without his permission.
Li Xue also didn't care as she was unknown to all these facts. Upon entering, she turned around to look at him and smiled, "President Feng, I think I have already shown the sincerity I owed to you for taking care of my daughter that evening. Now I don't think I owe you anything. Thanks for looking after me all this time and supporting me even when I have gone a little out of the line".
She said remembering her words for Ryan from before. She has really crossed her line, though her words weren't wrong but she was still there to help not to ruin. So she felt a little guilty.
"You didn't say anything wrong", was his plain words. "Huh?" Li Xue was dumbfounded at his words.
"I said you didn't do anything wrong. You weren't out of the line", he clarified his words in more simpler terms remembering his morning promise to her. He has to be more easy and simple to her so she can understand him better.
"Ahh! I know you are just being good and I am really grateful that you didn't lash out at me at that time but still being conscious of the situation I know I should not have to disrespect the important client of the company", she said smiling gratefully at him.
She was really touched when he supported her and remained on her side in front of so many people. But at the same time she can't help but feel sorry that she was about to ruin the relations between two companies. She was thinking to say sorry when the man took a stride towards her and cornered her towards a wall.
The woman's eyes got widened in horror as her heart started thumping louder and louder. Looking at the man, encaging her so close to himself she felt lumps forming in her throat and body trembling. The expression he held in his eyes looked like he wanted to devour her. Those eyes truly scared her.
Now what was this Mr. Beelzebub up to? Those expressions on his face was making her brain send signals to the motor nerves to quickly take some action to hide. She tried to move at a distance but found herself all locked between his arms, with no escape.
"Mr … I mean President Feng, what are you doing? I know I may have offended you and your clients. But I can always apologize for that. You don't have to act so intense for that. If you want then, I can even go and apologize to Ms. Kim but please don't scare me like this … Ah I almost forgot I have to go and pick my daughter soon", she said in a haste, pouring all her defensive words and expressions out.
She thought that it would help but suddenly she was hushed to be silent. "Sshhhh … You really have many words ready in your mind. You better be like this only in front of me" he said, his voice as smooth and magnetic as she remembered.
"Ummm … I", she tried to words out her words again but was again silenced.
"Listen to my words first and clear your thoughts. Being my woman you can never be wrong and have not to apologize to anyone. You can do as you want and as you like. No one can point their hands on that" he completed.
"Th – That was just a role play and I am not your girlfriend. You needed my help and I helped you. And now all that play is over", she said trying to make her words cleared for the ears.
"And what if I really wanted you to be my girlfriend?" Feng Shufen asked. Now he has become clearer in his head that he wants her to be by his side.
Li Xue was all frozen in her place. What does he mean by those words? Suddenly feeling the severity of his words, she began coughing hard to relieve herself from the lump she was feeling in her throat. "What do … what do … you mean?" she asked in between those coughs.
"Be my girlfriend for real!" came out the words in response.
At first the woman highly depended on the possibility that his words were some kind of joke and this man was just trying to scare her out of wits. And in the next second he might just start laughing. But after hearing his five clear – serious words, she felt that she was in the depths of the trap and now was left with no escape points.
'No, no this can't happen. Things are going in the wrong track. I can't let this happen; can't let my heart and promises waver', she chanted in her head as her hand reached to the man only to push her a distance from her.
Looking straight into his deep magnetic sterling grey eyes she said with her words all firm, "President Feng I think you got something wrong. This was not something we have decided and also not something I have planned. I have already told you love and relationships are something I am no more planning in my life. I am sorry I don't intend to insult you with rejection but could only tell that I am not someone that can be capable to be by your side"
Her words were like a tough jab to him but he liked her this way. The way in which she can express herself with full courage and confidence.
"Now since I have made myself clear I will get going. I need to be somewhere", she said and then rushed inside his resting lounge to get her dress back. She didn't change her clothes as she did not feel like changing when she has already been so rough and straight with her words.
Returning back, she simply said, "I will return this dress tomorrow after giving it for a dry clean", then she bowed a little in politeness and turned towards the exit to leave. She had just taken a few steps when she heard his cold determined voice, "Let's see whose determination is really tough. I will make you change your mind"
