Chapter 968 - Not Just Birds, Even Devils Flock Together.

Li Xue's eye grows wide at the call. "Remember of the little devil and she is here already here," she said ready to get off the bed and run to the bathroom. But her arms were tugged making her fall behind. 

"Mr. Beelzebub, what are you doing? She is already here and you still want to play?"

Feng Shufen shook his head. "I just wanted you to relax. The door is locked. Unless you open it, she won't be getting in." He said and Li Xue's eyes darted to check on the door. And it was surely locked. 

"Mhm. But we still couldn't delay it, since she is calling us." Li Xue said as slowly but steadily she felt her heart thumping. Her breath was becoming heavy and if stayed any longer, she knew her pretentious restrain would be given away. She couldn't take the risk. 

So, quickly getting away, she continued, "I will go and get fresh in the washroom first while you can go and check on her. I will soon be back." She said, already sprinting to get inside the washroom and closing the door after her. 

She thought that since she was quick to escape, the man wouldn't have sensed the mess she was feeling inside around him. But little did she know that her eyes and speeded breath has long given away her façade. 

Inside the washroom, Li Xue looked herself in the mirror. She has wrapped herself in Feng Shufen's shirt in hurry and now only that was making her feel again the feeling from last night. The more she was looking at herself in the mirror, the more she was getting the flashes of the memories from last night. 

The drugged night was blurry, but yesterday it was all clear to remember, and she could hardly forget anything. How could she forget when the feeling was so fresh on her skin? But there was something else that also kept her stricken to last night. And that was the care Feng Shufen has showered over her. 

She was looking all eased of pain and fresh in the morning because he was there at night to take care of her, not just during the pleasure but also after it. 

Her lips curled up in a smile as giving a last look to herself in the mirror, she left to get fresh first. Because no matter how lazy she gets, she still had things and people to look for. She couldn't delay it more. 

*** 

Coming out from the washroom, Li Xue looked around but the man was not there. It was an easy guess where he would have gone. After all, not just birds, even devils would love to flock together. 

Shaking her head at the thought, she smiled before walking to the closet. But just when she was on her way, she heard her phone ringing. Changing the course of her walk, she turned to get her phone first only to find Su Fai calling her. 

Did he only get time to call today? A day later they met. That was something that she was not expecting. 

Receiving the call, she answered, "Hello!" Her voice was a bit confused. How could she even forget to ask Shufen about him? 

"Li Xue, how are you? Are you fine now?" From the other side of the call, Su Fai greeted. His voice felt a bit exhausted as if he has not got good sleep last night. 

"I am fine. But you didn't seem the same. Did something happen?" Li Xue asked. There seemed a possibility of that, given last to last night, Liu Hua has gotten crazy. Since she could drug her with a sealed bottle, it wouldn't be hard for her to do the same with Su Fai as well. After all, he was there with her and for her. 

Su Fai clicked his tongue, "There is nothing. Of course, I am fine. It has been you who had gotten drugged, not me. So yes, nothing happened to me." Trying his best to conceal, he said. 

But his tries were too evident to get noticed by Li Xue. She could feel in his tone. "Really? Then why haven't you called me yesterday? Where was CEO Su busy?" 

"Haha … where could I be busy? Of course, in the agency. You remember I got a company to take care of. I am handling the things there." He retorted and feeling his desperation to keep secret from her, Li Xue didn't stress more on the topic. 

Chuckling lightly, she let go of the topic and said nodding, "I understood. I understood. CEO Su is really busy. Then how come he got the time to give me a call? Is there something important for me?" 

Su Fai smiled on the other side as well. "Haha … of course, it's for the work. I just called to update you on the schedule."

"Schedule! Whoa! I am definitely getting the high treatment. Now the CEO, himself, is calling to give me instructions. Anyway, what is it about?" Li Xue asked. Though there was doubt in her words, she didn't make it too much on the surface. Shouldn't Sister Xinyi or Xiao Mei should be giving her the call. 

The man coughed lightly on phone, before saying, "Li Xue, your next project, that's the Royal Association one is postponed and would be starting from next week. So be prepared for it. And other than that, you need to go and try a few auditions. On which the most important one is for an international fragrance brand. Lin Xinyi wants you to get your hand on it. It will weave an easy path for you." 

Su Fai informed and Li Xue nodded with much seriousness. "I understand. I will be meeting with Sister Xinyi and discussing about it. Don't worry. I will try my best. And …" 

Before she could complete her words, Su Fai interrupted, "You can't talk to Lin Xinyi, Li Xue. That's why I am giving you the call." 

"Huh? What does that mean?" Li Xue was confused. "Why can't I? Is there a problem?" 

"Nothing serious. It's just that she is not well and resting at home. So, it would be tough for you to meet her." Su Fai answered casually. But there was something in his casual tone that was not feeling simple. 

Li Xue felt it too. But she didn't mind as last when she talked with Xiao Mei, she remembered her talking about Sister Xinyi having a day off. Might be she has not yet recovered. "Ah, it's okay then. I will visit the company myself to take the details then."
