Chapter 863 – Put Yourself In My Shoes.
"Tell her WeiWei is my daughter and she was calling you Mama early in the morning." Feng Shufen said with sleekness as if what he said with ease would not shock the world. There would be thousands of girls willing to give up their lives and hundreds of them ready to take celibacy if they get exposed to this news.
How can he even say such an idea so openly?
Li Xue stared at him for a moment before blinking away to find something. Turning around she ran to check the drawers one after the other, before heading to the small cabinet.
Feng Shufen looked at her, walking behind her he asked, "Are you looking for something? And as if waiting for this question itself, Li Xue turned around to give a nod to him.
"Yes, I was searching for a cruelty-meter. Have you got that at home or should I ask someone to get it for me?" She said with casualness, folding her arms over her chest to look at him. Feng Shufen didn't give any reply. He understood her meaning well and was waiting to hear more, knowing that there was more to come his way. And as he expected, Li Xue stepped a step forward to add a brief of her thoughts.
"Are you for real, Mr. Beelzebub? Do you really have to be so cruel to the people around? You are deliberately creating the news that would shock the world overnight and make many hearts a mess."
Feng Shufen remained nonchalant as he reasoned quite level-headedly. "Do you think I care?"
Li Xue could not help but be speechless internally before shaking her head. "How could I dare to think that after hearing you say such an easy and disastrous idea? Of course, I know you don't care. It's me, who cares". She said and at her words, Feng Shufen brows tugged together in a frown the very instant.
And it didn't take long for Li Xue to understand the reason behind his expression. Knowing his situational overthinking habit, she could already guess his process of thinking. Pursing her lips, she went forward to soothe the man.
Wrapping her hands around him she reiterated. "I know you don't care, but I do. I care a lot because it's about you. Same as I care about your frowning brows at the moment." She mentioned before moving her fingers to rub between his brows to even out creases of frown. "How many times have I told you to not frown like this? But you never listen to me."
"Why do you care so much?" Feng Shufen asked, not idling around the topic. His eyes looking deep into her ambers, as if struggling to find the sudden doubts on his capabilities.
Li Xue smiled, seeing him like that. He looked adorable, but she could not dare to say that on his face, especially when he was dwelling and playing with his insecurities. "Mr. Beelzebub, who am I?" She asked and the man further frowned at her question that seemed unnecessary at the moment.
So Li Xue replied on her own, adding the answer to his question after. "I am your wife. The one with whom you are willing to sign the elite marriage certificate and also the one to whom you have willingly devoted your life. How can I not care for you and your reputation?" She said, lightly pulling on his cheeks
"I mean yes, I don't doubt WeiWei is the bond that represents our love and relationship. But pushing her all on your shoulder to escape will just make you look bad in the eyes of Sister Xinyi. She mistook you and your intentions. And I would never want people judging you, just the same as you won't want to hear people saying the same stuff about me. She is our daughter, so we need to share her equally. Do you get that?"
She asked, but Feng Shufen hesitated. To which the woman leaned forward to peck on his lips. A little deeper and intenser … for a moment to make him forget everything from before. Then pulling back, she re-added, "Put yourselves in my shoes and think. Would you do the same if you were me?"
The man paused and pondered, then asked in a serious tone, "Do you have any other way?"
Li Xue shrugged her shoulders before shaking her head. "Right now, I don't have any. But I will think of a way to make Sister Xinyi understand. I have not rejected your idea as well but I will only use it when she doesn't take you wrongly. Otherwise, I will just think of something. Since you have caused it for me, I am sure you might have thought of being capable of solving it. I will not disappoint you, Boss".
She said and seeing her confidence, Feng Shufen nodded. "You are capable of more."
"Haha … I know Mr. Beelzebub. I have got the capability to sell you off. Who else do you think could match my league? Of course, I am capable of more." She boasted before turning back to look at the clock. "Oh, it's already late. I need to get ready fast. Sister Xinyi has asked me to be there soon and I dare not be late." She said before running her way to get ready for the day.
Feng Shufen looked at her disappearing inside the bathroom, before turning back to walk to the couch. But both his steps and eyes paused when he went back to look at the brocade box and the pendant kept on the table. His gaze turned dark once again while the fist curled up intensely on the sides.
Pulling out his phone, he at once ordered in a frosty tone, "Gao Fan, arrange an appointment with Mr. Jing. It seems he has yet not got our point well." He said before disconnecting the call, keeping the phone back inside his pocket. Then walking forward as well tucked the pendant inside his coat.
