Chapter 911 – Devil Ate Away My Charms.
"Sorry President Feng, it was my incompetence" Gao Fan apologized keeping his head low, and beside him stood Du Fan, who looked equally apologetic. Though the driver had called at the right time to inform Feng Shufen about the arrival of Li Xue, he couldn't bear to think that he was not at fault.
They were outside the office room discussing the things, while Li Xue was sitting inside checking on the news updates that were bound to come very soon.
The media reporters were already sent out and as Feng Shufen has said earlier, no efforts were made to hide the news from the public. Looking at him getting so adamant about this, it was sure that this time he was really bent towards getting everyone to know that he has gotten reserved for someone.
"Since the things are handled well, it's okay. Be more observant next time." Feng Shufen said in nonchalance and his such calm words gave a shock to the two subordinates.
Gao Fan's and Du Fan's eyes raised to look at the man as they were not too sure of the things. Did they hear it right? Did he truly say that it was fine? They questioned internally as they looked at the man with an expression of surprise only to find Feng Shufen really looking easy-going about the things.
"President Feng, the news would be getting hyped up soon. Do you want me to handle it?" Gao Fan asked and Feng Shufen shook his head in denial. And that was another shock for the two.
"Just make sure that your Madam and the young little princess don't get involved in it," he said and Gao Fan nodded. Just looking at his President, he was feeling like nearby there has come the season of cherry blossoms.
Du Fan felt the same as well. But he wasn't in the position to ask. Furthermore, seeing his Young Master so happy was his happiness too, he couldn't complain about that.
"You are a traitor, Shufen. Damn traitor! I would never forgive you." While the two subordinates were still trying their best to recover, Qi Shuai came rushing from a distance, and with his movement, it looked like he was going to charge at Feng Shufen.
Both Du Fan and Gao Fan were ready to become the shield, but just at the right time, the man came to stop in front of Feng Shufen with a whiny look plastered over his face.
Feng Shufen raised his brows at him and his whiny friend didn't delay in spilling the pain of his heart out.
"How can you get back on your words? You, Devil, how could you break your promise? Did you not think that seeing you do that how much my heart would cry? You are surely heartless. How can Sister-in-law even agree to be with a heartless man like you?"
Qi Shuai complained and Feng Shufen remained silent hearing him but didn't flinch. Else time whenever someone would say something like this about him and Li Xue, he would get irritated. But this time it was different and his calmness around the topic itched the nerves of the Director.
"What? Won't you say anything?" Qi Shuai asked with itchiness laced in his voice and keeping a straight face, Feng Shufen replied.
"That's because my heart is just for her to see." He said and hearing him say that Qi Shuai felt like several sharp-edged arrows were shot to pierce his heart, making him cough out blood.
Was the Devil shamelessly displaying his PDA?
The Director's jaws tightened with grit as pointing his finger of blame at his friend to say, "You … What are you doing here? You clearly know my girlfriend is not here yet you are teasing me like I am your enemy. Don't you have to solve the problem for which your woman is here? Why are you still here then? Go! Go! Shoo away! Shoo!"
Feng Shufen paused. His brows wrinkled a bit as he asked, "Problem?"
Qi Shuai raised his brows in surprise as getting his normal composure back, he said, "Yes, problem. Your woman is in a problem that is considered big in her industry. That's why she has come to ask for your help here. Don't you know that? How irresponsible of a boyfriend you could be?"
Feng Shufen's expression darkened more as killing intent was about to get visible in his eyes, hearing Qi Shuai mention the phrase big problem when luckily, Du Fan came to interject with good thoughts. Of course, he had heard the over-exaggeration of Qi Shuai and did not want the world to suffer because of him.
"Young Master, it's not that much of a big problem. Madam knows that you will be able to solve it easily so she has come here to you." In a hurry, Du Fan added and the dark cloud at once subsided. "As per what I have heard from Madam, her assistant has to prepare a dress for her but due to some miscommunication with the designer, it cannot be prepared on time. That's for tomorrow's event. She went to Aurora but nothing came according to her preference. So she dropped by here to ask for your help."
Feng Shufen heard him and his eyes went to glare at Qi Shuai, whose back instantly felt a chill running down his spine. Trying his best to not fear, he said with a stuttering voice, "W-What? Not finding a dress suitable for the event that's the next day is considered a big problem in the modelling industry. I-If you don't believe it, you can ask anyone."
Hearing him defend like that both Gao Fan and Du Fan were speechless. While shaking his head internally, Feng Shufen turned to look at his secretary to order, "Go, get a suitable dress for your Madam. Look for Elvis." He said and then left without looking back.
While behind Gao Fan nodded while Du Fan bowed and Qi Shuai heaved a breath of relief.
Only once they saw him leave, the three turned to look at each other. Du Fan and Gao Fan looked at Qi Shuai with some confusion and seeing them look at him like that, Qi Shuai couldn't help but ask, "What now? Did you two get the skill of gazing like this from your master? Why are you staring at me with that expression?"
Gao Fan didn't say anything while Du Fan couldn't control himself from asking. "Director Qi, earlier, you blamed Young Master for what? What promise did he break?"
Qi Shuai heard him ask that and once again remembered everything he had almost forgotten. Getting back to the cry-ish expression, he almost cried, "Devil ate away my charms. Now that the women of the country have seen his devilish beauty, who is gonna be looking my way? Isn't he cruel to do that?"
He said and Gao Fan almost rolled his eyes. He was expecting something like this to come from the dramatic Director. While Du Fan on the side was all speechless. Why did he even care to ask that? He should have known it from before.
But wait, Director Qi, didn't you say you have girlfriend? Don't you fear what would happen if she come to know about your tears?
