Chapter 608 – Stay Behind The Curtains.
Last day, after thinking with all his mind and heart, Zheng Wenting has decided to take back the compensation claim. He has called CEO Wu, the managing head of Oriental Spark, asking him to work on the renewal of clauses and then inform the Glamour World about the same. Since the CEO was still the new one in the field and has yet to know the plans with which they had set the whole scenario before, he didn't mind asking him about anything and just agreed.
"Who will be accompanying you from the company? Are you taking any lawyer with you?" Feng Shufen asked, contemplating some things in his thoughts.
Li Xue thought about it for a moment but then shook her head. "I don't know yet. But Sister Xinyi has said that there would be someone accompanying me, but I don't think it would be some lawyer. She said that it would be just some small formal discussion that would not require any lawyer as the rest of the things will be discussed by the companies."
The man did not speak for a good moment. Seeing his silence, Li Xue turned a little on the bed, getting laid on her stomach and then staring at the man with all concentration. "You are concerned about something?" She asked, slowly moving her fingers to ease the frown lines on his forehead, "Don't worry because I am not worrying about anything." She added more, giving a smile of assurance.
"Mmm," Feng Shufen hummed to her words without saying anything and was about to get up from the bed when suddenly Li Xue paused him, pressing him back on the bed.
"Won't you ask me, why am I not worried about the things?"
"Because you have the evidence in your support," the man replied calmly. But Li Xue shook her head, pressing her lips in denial. Feng Shufen raised his brows of askance at her.
"Because I have you in my support. There is nothing for me to worry about. I will lodge off on your powers". The woman replied with utmost usualness written on her face. Though with her words, it felt like she was just using off the man for her selfish motives, the man didn't look offended even for a bit.
Instead, at her words, without any say, he was delighted. But apart from that delightedness, he was more amused. And that expression of amusement on his face was not something new to Li Xue. She was already expecting to see that on his expressions. After all, it was the first genuine time she boasted herself saying his name and that too in an earnest way.
"What? Did I say something wrong? I am building my success bridge using my husband's renowned name; I don't feel like I am doing something wrong." She added one more time to make sure that the message reached the man which she wanted to deliver to him. She tried to make her intentions all clear to him so that the line of insecurity that she has given to him gets diminished.
The man shook his head with a faint smile. Then getting up to sit upon the bed, he just patted lightly over her head with some adoration before saying. "You did nothing wrong. I am happy that you know how to use your assets". He said, and then getting up from the bed, he added, "I will go and get fresh. You can also prepare for it."
Li Xue pressed more in disappointment. Definitely, that was not the thing she wanted to convey to him. But who cares? He was there already leaving without understanding the things she wanted to say.
"Mr. Beelzebub, when are you going to announce your involvement in Glamour World?" Not finding any better way to convey her knowledge, finally, she said, without holding back.
Feng Shufen's steps paused at her words. His lips quirked up to form a smirk as he turned his head slightly to look at the woman. It was not like he has not understood what she was trying to say all this time, but it was fun seeing her pout like she was doing at the moment.
"Didn't you say you want to keep your ace of the pack hidden and use it at the perfect time? So, I am planning to stay behind the curtain till that." He said before giving his brows a raise of tease and then leaving the room with slight urgency.
"You … You already understood that?" Li Xue's raised her finger of accusation, but the man already left the room, giving a light chuckle.

On the other side, soon, all the preparation were made. The schedule was confirmed between the two companies and also was informed the same to Li Xue.
Lin Xinyi was the one to call Li Xue. Since everything was scheduled in the late afternoon, the woman was still taking a relaxing time.
"Hello, Sister Xinyi!" Li Xue greeted, receiving the call the moment it entered her phone. "Is there any reschedule of the things?" She asked, simply guessing the reason behind the ring, but instead heard a mild refutation from the other side soon.
"Nope, there is no change in the schedule, Li Xue. But before heading for the venue, you would need to drop by the company once. I have arranged someone, and you need to meet her first. She would be accompanying you there."
Li Xue understood at once. Nodding her head to herself, she affirmed. "I understood, Sister Xinyi. I will get there soon".
"Mhm-Hmm! I will prepare a formal outfit for you here. So, don't bother about those things."
"Yep, Sister Xinyi," Li Xue, being like an obedient student, agreed again but then halted with some thought before asking, "Umm … Sister Xinyi, by the way, I wanted to ask you something. Will there be any lawyer with me there".
Silence fell off on the call, and Li Xue bit her lips slightly. She almost thought her question might have come like a tantrum, given that she has already been informed before that no lawyer would be sent with her. She was not expecting any reply, but just when she thought to apologize for the repeated question, she heard the woman say on the call.
"Li Xue, I know with your situation, you might be doubtful of a few things. But don't worry, we have talked with the company well. There would be no requirement of the lawyer. But if you still want to take one with yourself, I can go and ask the company to arrange it for you".
"No, it's fine, Sister Xinyi. I didn't want to cause any bother. It was just …" She didn't complete her words. With Mr. Beelzebub mentioning the same doubts as her, she was also not getting the right feeling for things turning so easy all of a sudden. But at the moment, turning demanding like this also doesn't look like a solution to her. So, in the end, she decided to go with the flow. "I will go according to your decided plans, Sister Xinyi. Just give me some time I will be there".
She said with a smile and disconnected the call hearing the hum of assurance from the other side.
Going with the flow was not bad after all. If something happens later, she would find the way.
