Chapter 379 - Doubtful of the eternity you always talk about.

Though Feng Shufen's words had beaten around the bush, Li Xue understood his suggestions the best. Looking at him she simply asked, "When did you come to know about it?"

Feng Shufen looked at her for quite some time then smiling at her, he took his steps in her direction. And seeing her taking his time to reach her, Li Xue literally felt her throat running dry. Was he purposefully tempting her to avoid the question? He does that every time she asks him something and he does not want to answer her.

Such a cunning species he was on this Earth!

She thought to herself and was about to warn the man to not use such unhealthy tricks on her. But the moment she thought that his fingers were going to grab her by the waist and then she would be pulled close to his n.a.k.e.d c.h.e.s.t and toned abs … her thoughts were left unsatiated and the man passed her to reach the doorknob of the closet.

"You …", she started in a tone of disbelief but the look of innocence on the man's face silenced her dirty mind., making her feel like she was the insane one to think something like that.

"Is there anything? I am still in the towel and need to change that's why I thought to open the door of the closet a little wider. That way we both can enter together" He said with such nonchalance that it illusioned Li Xue to think that moment before he was not the one to temp her in the ways where she was about to lose herself to him.

But still when a person could pretend to be so pure and innocent then no one could help. Scrunching her nose a little, she simply let her thoughts slide off as she said, "You have yet to answer my question. You can't always escape from me without answering them". She complained like a lover who has deliberately been kept devoid of her soulmate's attention.

And the man lost at that look of hers. This woman really knows well to bring him to the brink and then act like she was the one who has …

His arms got wrapped around her; one rounded her waist while the other went to hold the back of her head. And before she could even know she was lifted off the ground in the air and put inside the closet towards the section where his clothes were lined up.

Li Xue's eyes opened in a shock but before she could say anything, the man-made his thoughts clear by himself. "My love, do you really think that I will ever try to find an escape from you? Never in eternity I would want that".

His embrace was tight but was comfortable around her. She could be like that with him for hours and she won't feel any discomfort. But then again, his words and embrace of comfort will never deviate her away from the main intended question with which everything began.

Blinking her eyes to gain her rationality back she asked with some dominance. "If that's how things are with you then answer me. How and when did you come to know about it? Know about the lawsuit against me? That I have been sued by my former agency? And …" she paused thinking something. Though she was not sure, the chances seemed quite good with the way he treated her.

"And did you intervene in between, finding me in the question? I just hope you didn't because if you have then I would really be doubtful about the eternity you always talk about", she shot out her words in a firm tone, without thinking about the sharpness it had in it. Not because she did not care for his emotions but because she did not think her words would come out to sound that way. After all, she was not experienced in love. Even though she thought she was in the past, in actuality, it was her very first time to feel this way.

The man's expressions hardened as his jaws got clenched tight. At such proximity, Li Xue could clearly hear the grit of his teeth against each other. It was then she realized what she had said and what it would have felt to his heart.

Knowing her wrong, she was about to apologize but before she could the man interrupted her thoughts. "If I would have intervened then, do you really think those people would still have been in the position to prepare any such legal notice?"

"I …" she tried to undo her words but unfortunately, one's words are those arrows that could never return back to its quiver. And Li Xue knew it better than anyone else. She has experienced it herself.

Feng Shufen did not let her complete. Cutting her off, he stared at her with disappointed eyes as he said, "I think you have really miscalculated me, Li Xue. My power, my patience and also my love. And it's not your fault rather mine. I have really spoiled you to an extent where you have never been able to understand me".

As he said, his arms that were keeping her close in his warm embrace came undone, making Li Xue's heart go a little crazy with panic. She has never expected it this way!

Even though the central heater of the house was on, she could still feel the cold air hitting her skin. Maybe that was because the warmth she was feeling all this time was not from the heater but was from his heart.

"Shu …" She tried to reach him but the man simply stepped back to create the distance between them.

"I think I should get ready now. It's already time for me to leave for the organization" He said and without waiting for her, turned to look into his clothes. Getting a pair for himself, he walked straight into the changing room.

"Mr Beelzebub …" The woman tried again but was completely ignored. It would be a lie if she said that it wasn't painful because the way her heart was clenching, she was feeling like her heart would stop beating any next moment and she would be left all cold on the floor.

It was a hundred times vigorous that the one she felt when Zheng Wenting and her parents abandoned her. But there was a very big difference. For them, she could complain but here she knew that it was she who was at the fault.
