Chapter 602 – Let The Things Come To The Brighter Side.
After the call ended, Li Xue pressed her lips as she looked at the little distance out the window. She has known that she has grown strong after what happened years, but that never meant she found herself capable of taking all the words thrown at her. It was more like, now, she no more planned to care about all this.
She was thinking about the changes in herself, getting lost in her trance of thoughts, when suddenly felt someone reaching out her head to caress her hair. Her eyes turned to look to her side. A smile crept on her lips when she realized that even though things were again repeating themselves and once again, she was there on people's criticism … she no longer was alone, as the last time. This time she had someone on her side, believing in both her good and evil.
"Are you fine?" Feng Shufen asked softly, taking his time to move his finger upon her hair, silkily gliding through it.
"Mhmm," Li Xue nodded before succumbing to his touch. "With you beside me, definitely I am fine." She added sweetly, much to the man's contentment.
Feng Shufen smiled back with faintness before nodding. "Are you busy today?".
Li Xue looked at him for a second before contemplating a 'yes' or 'no.' But deciding one, she shook her head. "I am not sure. Since the thing has gotten official from the company and the reply of the lawsuit has also been sent, things could crop up at any time. I couldn't be sure if I would be free next hour or not".
She was right. Things were already getting heated on the internet about her, and she was already expecting a call from Lin Xinyi. And only once after she gets to hear from her would she come to know if she would have free time in the day or not.
"Do you want me to accompany you for the day?" Feng Shufen suddenly asked, getting back on his doting zone. But the woman only blinked her eyes at his words before asking in a complete surprise.
"Why? Don't you have a company to run?"
"I have, but if my wife needs me, then I can abandon my everything for her," He replied, and Li Xue could not help but blush at his words before shaking her head.
"No need to abandon the things for me right now. Don't worry; I would not hesitate to ask you to leave everything high and dry for me when I need you. And if at that time you didn't show up, believe me, I will not give up but wait for you until eternity. Did you hear that?" She asked, promising the things the man doubted if she would really do someday.
But still ignoring his doubts from within, he nodded. "I will show up the moment you will think of me. I give you my word." He said, with eyes full of sincerity and determination.
Li Xue dived into the depths of his coldness for a second before blinking away. That was too mesmerizing for her to handle. Waving her hands, she quickly added, "Okay, fine, fine. I will wait for that time to come later. Now go and get ready first. I will also head to make some light breakfast for you guys". She said before getting up, pulling the man along with her, and then pushing him in the direction of the stairs. "Come on, don't be lazy now."
***
Taking a good time with the breakfast, soon Li Xue waved goodbye to both her man and daughter, who were off to their job, respectively.
"Madam, you can also go and rest. I will let the maids handle the rest of the things in the kitchen", Sister Margaret said, seeing the lady back inside. It was rare to find Li Xue at home. Now that she was here, she wanted to let her take some rest.
Li Xue didn't abrogate her request for once. Nodding, she agreed and went upstairs to her room. She still needed some time to sort the things on her side. There are matters that she has been dodging, but now, it was her time to look at them.
At first, she thought she would go to the room but then, thinking otherwise, went to get comfortable in Mr. Beelzebub's room. He was already not there, and if she goes in to use it in his absence, she doubts that he would have any problem.
She fiddled into her phone as she thought for or against something. "Umm … should I or should I not?" she mumbled to herself, opening and closing her phone for quite some time. But just when she would have thought to decide in favor, her phone rang again, pausing her back in a dilemma.
It was Lin Xinyi calling her. She was already expecting the call from her, and now that she has received it, she didn't hesitate to take it at the moment it entered. "Good Morning, Sister Xinyi," She greeted, accepting it.
"Mmm! Good morning." The woman affirmed her greeting from the other side of the call. "Have you checked the trending news on the internet yet?"
"Nope, I haven't," Li Xue replied. "I have long deactivated my social media accounts, and right now, I have none activated."
"That's good. You don't have to activate it right now. Give some times to things to settle, then activate it."
"Mm … I got it, Sister Xinyi".
At her radiant acceptance, Lin Xinyi affirmed before adding another thing, "Even though I have told you not to check the things on the internet right now. I will let you know the happenings there. The netizens are passing their contempt for you. But once the things come to the brighter side, everything will be alright."
Li Xue paused in her tracks when she heard her words. She was not expecting this to come from her cold manager. Was she really consoling her? Yep, she felt the same. Though the words were indirect and nothing meant like consolation there, still, the tinge of warmth behind those words was not missed. She could still feel them.
Li Xue smiled at the kind gesture of the woman. She was her idol. Definitely, her warmth was a little too precious to her.
"In the mid of all this adversity, don't forget a small achievement," Lin Xinyi added some more. "Even if there are only contemptuous comments about you on the internet, you are still the one trending at the position that many models don't get a chance to trend on. And this is something perfect for your comeback".
"Umm … I know, Sister Xinyi. Don't worry, I will keep my patience till the end and will also have my faith in your plans," Li Xue said, feeling glad inside.
On the other side, Lin Xinyi also smiled faintly before giving an 'mmm' sound to her. "I will let you know the updates soon. I guess your former company will not wait for more time and will soon come up with a meeting, and we are waiting for them to hold that press meet".
The press conference would be worth waiting for. But at the same time would be something to drive people out of their patience.
