Chapter 91 – Don’t Meet Tall, Careless Uncle.
"I never expected CEO Zheng to call me with such a silence", Li Xue said with a slight tinge of mockery in her tone. Her lips tugged up to present a smile that was perfectly complimenting her mood and her words.
Qi Shuai's ears instantly perked up, when he heard the name of the person who has called Li Xue all of a sudden. His eyes subconsciously moved to look at the man whose silence has slowly and slowly started to give him chills. He can feel the storm brewing inside.
He wanted to scream in horror. 'Sister – in – law, please stop this call. Quickly disconnect it and coax the devil, or else soon this world will collapse. Please be a little considerate to us, human'. But the words were just not coming out as if his voice had been slaved and the master devil was just not letting him call the savior for rescue.
The darkness from Feng Shufen's eyes that had disappeared moments ago, started to come back in a more fierce way. His gaze got fixed at the woman, trying to look at her each and every change of expressions, words and body movement.
"CEO Zheng, please don't take it as my impoliteness. I am just a little curious about the reason for which you had made this call today", Li Xue said again. Her manner was not getting any good. Though her words sounded polite but even a person with a negative IQ could get that being polite was her last intention.
"Li Xue please don't talk to me like that. It is making me feel weird. I … I just wanted to hear your voice and wanted to know how you were?" the man said from the other side of the call. Helplessness was the only thing that can be felt from his voice at this moment.
The volume of the phone was a little high which was letting the rest of the audience hear some fragmented words from the other side. It was a mere whisper but the audience involved here at the scene was no less capable.
Hearing his words coming out like that, the woman let out a small chuckle. "How am I talking to you, Mr. Zheng?"
"Like … like we are some strangers. Like we have never been together before", the man said from the other end, feeling a little hesitated and insulted at her words.
"Aren't we the same?" Li Xue didn't give any reply, rather accorded it in an interrogative form.
"Xiao Xue stop … don't be like this. We … we …"
Li Xue's lips got twitched when he heard him referring to her in the same loving way, he once used in the past. Her fist got clenched at her side. "CEO Zheng! Have you called today to let me remember what we were before? Or is there something else in your mind? I fear that if we indulge ourselves in those useless things, it will only harm your precious time and energy"
Her words have clearly stated that to her those memories from the past were nothing but useless things whose remembrance will only bring wastage to one's time and energy. While it has been an insult to Zheng Wenting, someone else near was very satisfied.
Though his expressions were still stiff and poker but the horrifying energy that was surfacing his aura before were again getting back to normal. Looking at the air getting back to normal, Qi Shuai also heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily they have dodged the bullet.
"Li Xue, I want to meet you. Can we meet tomorrow?" Zheng Wenting said, grasping at the straws because he knew the maximum chances of the situation would bring him rejection.
Not only him, but the other two men also waited to hear her words. Li Xue thought for some moments and was about to give him the answer, "Fine, we …". A pair of eyes got horrified at her 'fine' while the other pair got stiff and cold.
'Sister – in – law, are you really accepting to meet your ex? Why? Do you really want to end this world so soon? Why? I still haven't lived my life, nor got married. I am still young and have desires to build my own family? Why are you destroying it? God now only you could save this world', Qi Shuai cried in his heart. His eyes moving back and forth between his friend and his kalon prey.
While everyone was busy with their own thoughts and questions, the princess who was comfortably sleeping in her Handsome Angel's arms, got up. And with one swift motion she moved, wrapping her arms all possessively around her mother's waist, putting her head at her lap.
"Mama, don't go to meet that tall, careless uncle. He is not good", she said. Her words clear to ears but eyes still lidded close. Qi Shuai looked dumbfoundedly. Was this little munchkin talking in her sleep? Who is this tall, careless uncle?
He turned to look at Feng Shufen in confusion, but the man did not turn to return his gaze.
"Li Xue, are you there? Did you say that we can meet?" Zheng Wenting called from the other side desperately. He has heard that soft murmur of the girl and also knew that it was him she was referring to.
"CEO Zheng, sorry but I doubt I will be able to manage my time and furthermore we don't have anything to talk about. If there is nothing else, I will disconnect the call first", she said and without waiting disconnected the call.
"Eh … baby, are you fine?" she asked, softly caressing her daughter's hair.
"Mama, please don't go to meet that Tall, careless Uncle. He will again make you upset and I don't like you getting upset", the little girl repeated again.
"Okay, I won't go. Now sleep" she complied to her words and then patted her lightly to slumber.
"Sis … I mean Xiao Xue, is she sleep – talking?" Qi Shuai asked, not understanding what is going around. Li Xue smiled and shook her head, "Nope she is not. Li Wei is a very light sleeper. Even in her sleep, she could hear the people's words and can even comprehend it"
"Ohh, so she has already heard whatever we said before and also your words on the call" he concluded his thoughts, nodding his head in understanding. "Then did she already know Zheng Wenting? Was she calling him 'tall – careless uncle'??
Li Xue nodded and then realized that all this time she had not noticed and brought her private matters in front of them. "Ohh I am sorry I almost forgot that I was in the car and said all those things".
She turned to look at Mr. Beelzebub, trying to analyze his thoughts at her words and actions. Feng Shufen when he found the woman looking at him, he blinked his eyes once to show some movement in his still eyes. "Are you fine?" he asked.
Li Xue nodded. 'Thank God, he did not take me wrong. I was all polite before. Hope he did not misunderstand me', she said internally, sighing in relief.
Getting her assurance, Feng Shufen also nodded in approval and then asked again, "CEO Zheng? Who is that?"
