In their passionate kiss, Li Xue almost forgot her breathing. She knew she could faint anytime from lack of oxygen, yet the anticipation she was feeling inside was too much to give up. So, wrapping her arms around his neck involuntarily, she could just get to intensify more of the feeling.
But even if she could give up on herself, there would be no chance of Feng Shufen following the same. Though the feeling was tempting for him as well, knowing her limits, he didn't fail to think of her first. Pulling away from her, he stared at her, allowing her to fill in her lungs first.
"So, are you satisfied with my skill now?" He asked and easing her breath, Li Xue turned to look at him with a pout to say.
"You played unfairly. How could I be satisfied? Furthermore, I was jealous. A kiss like …" Before she could complete her words, a sneeze interrupted her making her nose go slightly red and itchy. "A kiss like this couldn't be enough." She said, not thinking about the ambiguous air her words were building around.
But it didn't take long for her to realize it when saw the man's gaze turning darker than before. Shaking her head, she quickly shook her head to clear out the misunderstanding. "No, no, I didn't mean it the wrong way. The kiss was enough and I am already better. Believe me." She said but Feng Shufen just shushed her out before lifting her off the floor, making her legs straddle around her waist.
"Too late to explain that, darling," he said, smirking at her and turning to carry her inside.
"Mr. Beelzebub, wait, what are you doing? I truly didn't mean it that way." Li Xue screamed in a low pitch. But even though she denied it, her arms were already around him, feeling his shoulder blades; as if already anticipating the things that could be coming next.
The man has said that he is the beast who has tasted his favorite brand of blood and could no longer hold back. But here in her case, it was seeming different. Like the things were the other way round. Maybe she was not the beast, who has got addicted to blood. But she sure felt like she got all addicted to the closeness she shared with the man. The sparks between them always felt so satisfying over her skin.
After some time, when the souls of heaven left, thinking that there might happen something between the couple that would be unsafe for their pure eyes to watch, the Devil got other plans. The plans that even took Li Xue off guard.
"Mr. Beelzebub, was this the thing you were thinking when you carried me inside like that?" She asked as in the reflection of the mirror, she looked at the man blow-drying her wet hair.
Feng Shufen glanced at her in the mirror as well. Though the tone of disappointment in her voice didn't go amiss, he didn't point it out specifically as well. Humming faintly, he said, "Your hair is wet like this. If not dried on time, you might catch a cold."
Hearing him say that, Li Xue couldn't help but pout her lips out. Really? Why did she have to wash her hair at night? If not for the wet hair, there might have been a chance …
Scrunching her nose, a little in itchiness, she looked at the man in the reflection, only to find him noticing her as well.
"What? Is it fun looking at me like that?" She asked, her tone suiting the dissatisfied kid who didn't get her favorite candy.
Feng Shufen looked at her like that and found her adorable. At this moment, he just wanted to carry her to bed and give her whatever she wanted. But he knew a bit of patience won't harm.
"Didn't you have something to ask me?" He said, changing the subject for the time being while keeping on blowing the warm air over her hair.
Li Xue pouted at his ignorance. But then shook her head at his askance. "Nope, there is nothing I need to ask you now." She said, looking down her hand on the lap while whispering under her breath. "Furthermore, asking you I don't want to make you know that I couldn't be a good and ideal wife to you just after two days of our marriage."
She said and thought that the latter part of her words wasn't audible to anyone's ears. But little did she know that the man has long excelled the skill of reading lips.
"Ideal wife or not, that's up to me to decide." Feng Shufen said, making Li Xue look up at the mirror in surprise. Her eyes getting wide, blinking in disbelief at him.
"You … "
"Tell me, what is it about?"
And Li Xue could just pout to reveal, "Did Sister Xinyi ever confess her feelings to you?" She asked and then waited to hear his response. Her eyes getting all expectant at him.
Feng Shufen paused, looking at her with confusion, "Sister Xinyi? Who is she?"
And hearing him ask like that, the woman could only purse her lips to elaborate in simple words. "Sister Xinyi is Lin Xinyi, my manager. Remember, you hired her in Glamour World." She said, not forgetting that Su Fai mentioned it before.
The man gave some thought and only after a few moments, he nodded. And his nod to her was enough to make Li Xue stop his hands before springing up to climb on the small couch she was sitting on.
"And you still chose her for me?" She asked and Feng Shufen nodded again. "Why?" She asked.
"Because she was the best for you." He plainly reasoned. And Li Xue could only be speechless. She couldn't doubt that. Of course, Lin Xinyi was the best. She didn't want to be dispirited hearing it but didn't know why suddenly she was craving for excessive pampering.
Was it the man's soft attitude that was making her crave for more? Or was it just the situation that was making her go childish like her?
"Then why did you not accept her confession?" She said, pouting and then turning to look away, to avoid his gaze.
Feng Shufen looked at her dispirited style and simply said, "Because I had you in my heart." He confessed and Li Xue's brows scrunched in confusion.
Looking back at him, she was about to ask what does he mean by that; but before she could the man revealed on his own to say. "I had you in my thoughts much before than you think. It didn't start just a few months back but years back when you were in the university."
He said and his words suddenly made Li Xue get more interested to hear from him. "Mr. Beelzebub, care to be more clear, please. Actually when? I don't remember meeting you in those days, even though I had a secret crush on you." Her spirits, returning back, making her lips suddenly curl up on their own.
Feng Shufen looked at her and stated actually when things started. As if hearing a unique unexpected plot of the story, Li Xue couldn't stop herself from getting every detail of it. When completed, she was all delusional thinking about it.
Was that real?
She never thought that it started that back in time. And that too in such circumstances. Who would think that the great President Feng would fall for the girl who actually dared to start such a rumor against him? Erectile Dysfunction was not a small thing when comes to the man's reputation. Yet instead of suing her of the offense, he actually fell for her audacity.
Like really?
Wasn't that a little too odd? Who does that?
"Mr. Beelzebub, are you masochistic? I mean who falls for something like that? Didn't you think that your well-built reputation would be gone? And later you might not have any woman looking at you?" Li Xue asked, blinking at the man because of the strand of hair that was coming over her eyes.
Feng Shufen shook his head, gently tugging the strand behind her ears to explain, "Why to care for other women when I had my eyes on you." He said and his words instantly melted everything.
Li Xue looked at him and didn't know what else to say. Swallowing down the speechlessness down her throat, she put her hands over the man's shoulders to ask, "Really? But what if I would have not ended the way I had. Then? Was there still a chance for us to be together?" She said, thinking that might be the description of such a situation would make the man's confidence waver.
But that was just in her thoughts. Even after her saying like that, Feng Shufen was still all confident. "I would have still reached to seduce you to give in." He said and Li Xue couldn't doubt that, knowing well the seducing skills of the man.
Indeed, if he had come to seduce her, she would have given in to him eventually; no matter what.
