Chapter 284 - It was for Li Xue.

"Good morning Daddy Angel!" The little girl chimed, sitting at the dining table, taking small bites of her favourite pancakes.

Feng Shufen too nodded to her greeting and responded back. "Morning, WeiWei!" His tongue was still not that attuned to respond to that greeting. Though nothing weird felt in his tone, people would still know that the man was simply not accustomed to it.

His eyes trailed to look at the woman inside the kitchen, flipping the pancakes all efficiently in the pan. A slight smile got over his lips when saw the same wild strand of hair looming over her face. Last night it has been perfectly swivelled around his long fingers. The remembrance itself flooded the contentment in his heart.

Li Xue smiled, knowing whose pair of eyes were staring at her. "Morning President Feng! Give me two minutes and your breakfast will be right on the table. This maiden will request your patience!"

The man nodded and then took his seat at the table, without saying anything. Patience was not his field of excellence but if it was what she wanted then he was willing to make his life as the best example of one to fulfil her request.

"Shufen I can't think of marrying you now. It's not you who is not capable between us, but it's me. With my tarnished name, I don't think I can bring you anything except defamation. And believe me, that would be the last thing I would want in my life. Not like I won't marry you but I wish to marry you at that point of time when I have become capable enough to stand by your side. Capable enough to bring stars to your fame, not to pull away from the stars off your name. Can I ask your faith and patience till I reach that point of my life? Will you believe in my competence enough to wait till that time?"

Though her words last night were full of self – doubt, he did not miss the soft layer of confidence she held for herself in those words. That was something that has always enticed him towards her.

She was a woman who knew well to learn from her mistakes and then pave her own way towards the opportunities. She was not the one to climb over other's brightness rather was capable enough to make herself shine in the best darkness.

"Here! I made pancakes for breakfast. It has been WeiWei's favourite for years. If you want something else I can make them for you. I heard Sister Margaret saying that you don't like …", Li Xue said as she presented the serve of pancakes in the middle of the table.

Feng Shufen looked at the plate and simply said, "I would love them with maple syrup."

Li Xue was speechless. She was not sure if pancakes were something in his liking list or not but last night she heard Sister Margaret mentioning that he has kept his breakfast monotonous for years now. The same dishes appear every day.

Though she has not got time to hear the details from her. She has thought that it would be nice if she asks him about his favourites directly.

Not feeling quite right about changing his schedule all of a sudden, she said, "But last day I have heard Sister Margaret saying that you have always been very particular about your breakfast. You don't have to compromise for us. I can still make you the things you want"

"And you already know I am not that bad at cooking, so you can trust. I won't make something uneatable" she jested adding more words.

The man looked at her and just shook his head. "It's no more needed. Come, have a seat and complete your breakfast"

"But …" Li Xue was still not satisfied. Not like she was belittling his small efforts of changing himself for her but she does not always want him to be the one to make a change. She wants to make efforts for him too. But this man was just spoiling her too much, not letting her change even a bit.

"My previous routine of breakfast has its reasons. Since the reasons are changed, it will bring change in inference too. This is not a compromise or adjustment. Don't pressurize your little head into thinking too much. Come and sit" He said again, knowing exactly what was going in her mind.

Li Xue was confused at his words. "What reasons are you talking about?" she asked, not understanding the story mystery he was hiding behind his words.

Feng Shufen did not say anything to respond to her back. His fingers efficiently used the knife to slice the pancakes into smaller pieces then elegantly used a fork to pull it up to take the bites.

Letting his taste buds feel the delight, he smiled. "Letting people know every time what I want for breakfast is boring. So I just let them stick to one plan. But it is no more needed now since finally, I have a wife in my life, who would know what to cook for me or make the people of the house cook for lunch and dinner. So it's not a compromise rather a change for good". 

He said with a firm tone, letting the woman understand the meaning of his two-liner from before.

Little Li Wei also smiled at the side. Her smile exactly matching that of Feng Shufen's. "Yes, Daddy Angel. Mama always knows what I want for my breakfast, lunch and dinner. She will take care of you too."

Li Xue could only blink her eyes dumbfoundedly. Did she willingly step her foot on the axe or made the axe take a fall on her? Why did she even ask something like this to him, when like always, she has to be the one getting floored at the end.

Right, when one couple was beaming with all pure love and brightness; the other has drowned themselves into sinful l.u.s.t, anger, greed and feelings of possession.

Heavy m.o.a.ns were filled in the room. There were no hints of light inside. Thick curtains were drawn around preventing the light to peep in. Though the sun was already in the sky for enough time now, it was still not in the mood to let its rays fall on the abhorrent scene. Like even it was disgusted by the deed happening inside the room.

After a good skip of time, everything stopped but the air still had the pungent smile in it. The smell of s*x in it!

"Sying, I never expected this from you? Though I believe you but that never meant that I will blindly trust you. Just telling me that you were compelled to go there will not be sufficient", The man said, still moving his hands over her curves, pressing at all the right place to make the woman m.o.a.n under his arms.

"I know Wenting. But believe me, I had my reasons which you would never understand. Not like I am complaining you but just asking you to believe me" She said, blinking the tears down her doe eyes in front of him. It was still looking a little puff due to the hours of shedding tears.

"Let me hear the reasons, even if I won't understand. I still want to hear them" he said adamantly. And Wen Sying knew that the man was not going to budge anywhere until he heard her out, so she said.

"It was for Li Xue! I went there for Li Xue!"
