Chapter 1120 - Who Would Have Dared To Touch Me?

"In the past few days, people in the royal family have become more and more favorable of the Prince from East City. Promising several benefits to them, Su Ce has been successful in taking the grip over their choice. So now, in the present scenario, it would be futile to keep depending on the Shens." 

Although Feng Shufen has never been interested in the affairs of the royales, from the time Li Xue has gotten involved in the matters, he has started keeping an eye on the things. So that when needed, she wouldn't have to face the difficulty with him around. 

"…" 

Li Xue didn't speak for some time and seeing her like that, Feng Shufen proposed, "Since you want it to turn out your way, I can help you." He said, but Li Xue shook her head in denial. 

"It's okay, Mr. Beelzebub, I wouldn't like to see my husband's resources getting used up on such silly people. You don't have to do all sorts of things to help me. Just do me a favor in stabilizing the situation of the Shens and that would do." 

Li Xue said and Feng Shufen frowned at her. He knew there was something else going on in the plans of Li Xue, but for some reason, he couldn't guess it. Maybe for she has kept her plans in the deep corner where no one could reach it. 

Although it was hard to read her plans, Li Xue could still understand the frown covering the man's brows. So, to ease him up, she thought of revealing parts of her plans to him. 

"Mr. Beelzebub, in my plans of bringing the Shens back has nothing to do with the other matters. Instead, it is just in the attempt of restoring the years-long relationship that has gone wrong." She said, pressing a small smile over her lips. "As for the run of powers, I have my plans. Prince Su won't be running on his current track soon." 

She said and then reaching to her hand purse, which was kept on the desk itself, she pulled out her phone to show something on it. "Do you remember the day when Zheng Wenting got engaged to Wen Sying?" She asked and Feng Shufen's eyes showed no hints of remembrance. 

To which Li Xue further added to say, "The night when I was drugged. Did you not remember it?" 

Feng Shufen's gaze turned darker on the mention of it. If he had not appeared there on time, he would not have dared not think what could happen. 

Seeing his gaze turning darker like that, it wasn't tough for Li Xue to guess the cause, so not probing that topic for more, she switched to the one that was required at the moment. "Seeing your expression change, I can get that you have remembered the night well. And since you have remembered that night you must also remember the presence of Prince Su there." She said, before handing in her phone for him to see. 

"For everyone, Prince of East City might be the most very honest and righteous person on the surface, but behind him they all doubt about his character. Even though they don't have evidence against him, no one would ever come to vouch for his characters regarding girls as well. Because internally they all have a vibe about him that can't lie to their souls." 

"So, to deal with him or his supporters, I just have to reveal his true nature and it would be over. It's that simple. If even for this I have to waste your resources, how would I be able to survive in your family with the title of your wife and the future matriarch?" 

She said and Feng Shufen stared at her phone screen going through all the things she had kept prepared. His expression was pulling into poker as keeping his eyes still on her phone, he asked, "From where did you gather this?" 

Li Xue smiled as she replied with a smug face, "Haha … It was simple. I have my sources, sweetheart. Don't you think I am cool like this?" She said but her expression paused when she saw Feng Shufen lifting up his eyes at her with some darkness. "Wh-What happen? Is there something wrong? Do you think that the proof would not work well against him?" 

She asked for once, stuttering in her words. Feng Shufen put the phone aside and keeping his expression stern, he asked, "Did I not ask you to take Gao Fan's help? Do you know how serious it can get if you are caught spying on royales?" 

Li Xue pouted her lips with innocence as looking down on her lap, she admitted all softly to say, "But my sources were not noobs. They had their ways of keeping it secretive, believe me. Even if they tried none would have been able to catch me behind it. Furthermore, even I would have gotten caught, who would have dared to touch me with you around?" 

She said but the man's expressions were nowhere at ease. He still looked severely at her as if he won't be forgiving her until he gets her to experience punishment. Blinking her eyes at him like a little puppy, she reached out to tug on his sleeves to say, "Mhmm … Mr. Beelzebub, I know I have been reckless but I was sure of them. Believe me, the group has helped me every time. And I know that they won't get caught."

"Gao Fan was still the more trustworthy in this matter." Feng Shufen was firm and to make up to him, Li Xue nodded. 

"Indeed! Indeed! He is the best, that's why I have been taking his help all this while. I agree with you. Now please don't be angry with me. I am all so nice and sweet.. How can you bear to be angry with such a nice woman like me? Huh?" She added and Feng Shufen could only get speechless at her coy act.
