Chapter 273 - You can even sell me off, if you want.

"Darling you could ask me anything anywhere anytime. Only you have got that authority over me!" Before she could even let out her words, his assurance came forward to assure her with the best.

Li Xue was surprised for a moment. Was he having all his attention on her all this time? How did he read her mind before even she could draw her surety on her thoughts herself?

And his words … Why did it feel like he was giving her ownership of himself? This assurance was a little too smooth for her heart to understand. Not confused but she felt like she had forgotten all her words suddenly.

Feng Shufen turned slightly to look at her straight to her eyes. The light in his eyes has already changed. It was now no more piercing as he has kept on the doctor rather it has turned to shine in the best gentle and soothing way.

Raising his brows at her for askance, he wanted her to not fear anything, especially when he was around her. He wanted himself to be her strength, not her hesitation. Something that he knew would take time to build up. Not everything can get built overnight! That's why patience is still called a virtue for the best people as that always brings the best from the odds.

"I don't know if I am overreacting or just thinking too much but still I wanted to confirm something," she said, looking into his eyes. His eyes have a chasm that can easily drown all her senses and make her follow his lead with unimaginable ease.

The man looked at her and nodded to continue. He wanted to hear what she has got in her head that has again made the walls of restrictions rise around her.

"Am I your possession?" She finally asked. Her eyes not leaving his, even for a second, staring deep into it like she feared that if she blinked even for a second then she would miss something in that minutest second.

Feng Shufen too looked at her face. He didn't bring his words up until she has got all her senses focused on him to hear his answer, once for all. When he was sure of everything he wanted, he said slowly but in the best serious and sincere tone. "No, you are not. You are not my possession but the precious treasure. A treasure that is more valuable for me than anything in this entire world!"

His words could not be any more clear. Li Xue's heart almost skipped a beat when heard him. A treasure for him!

If it had been anyone else then with her stubbornness, he would have already lost all his patience with her. But here he is all so patient and compromising for her. Exactly what good did she do in her previous life to get someone this good? When the whole world treated her as immoral trash, only he came forward to believe her without asking for any explanation.

The feeling of guilt filled her heart when thought of how badly she would have hurt him with her words. She truly did not mean to. Her useless ego and stubbornness got the best of her.

At the side, Feng Yi Lan almost spits blood out her mouth and Dr Collin almost felt a need to kneel down in surrender. Can anyone be more smooth in words than him? And not to tell all those words seemed so firm and serious that no one can raise doubt on it.

"I – I did not mean …" Li Xue felt guilty. She wanted to apologize but the man was too resolute for his own good.

Shushing her words in the middle, he simply soothed her hair to calm her nerves down. "It's okay, I know! You don't have to explain or feel guilty for me". He said, understanding exactly what she was feeling inside.

"Whether you are my possession or not. It does not matter. I already explained to you what I take you as in my world. But for you I can say, I am your possession to take all advantage of. I won't mind even if you sell me off". He said and it instantly made Li Xue's lips curled up in a smile.

Feng Yi Lan was the most dumbfounded one at the scene. Did her brother just crack a joke to impress Li Xue? How can that be possible? He was not a personality to crack jokes like this. Not even in his tenth birth!

"Accept it, Yi Lan! This is the most bitter truth I have known in my life. But this bitterness is far better than the death you have set me up for!" At this moment, the voice of Dr Collin from the side whispered to her in a low tone.

Yi Lan instantly turned her head to look at him. She did not know when he had come by her side. Ignoring his words from before, she simply asked, "Why? Are you feeling upset? Are you feeling bad that you lost your chance with her?"

Her words instantly made the man's knickers at the twist. His eyes shot a death glare at her as he said through gritted teeth, "I am happy that I did not lose my life. Or else you were all prepared to attend my funeral already. Such a heartless lady you are, I must say! I hope Heaven does some mercy on your man or I could say do some mercy on Director Qi Shuai".

Feng Yi Lan nerves got stiffened at his words. Fingers clenched tight and right at this moment the door was pushed open again and next entered the man about whom the doctor was talking about.

"Yi Lan? What happened? Are you fine?" Li Xue asked, seeing the unusual stiffening of her friend. But that stiffness came and went off like it never had any existence of its own.

Li Xue found it weird but her eyes soon went to trail in the direction of Yi Lan's gaze, only to find the cheerful Director Qi at the entrance, giving a pretty – different smile to everyone.
