Chapter 423 - Torture she gave him last night!

In the study quarters of the government mansion, Florida.

Gao Fan knocked at the door before pushing the door open to enter. As usual Feng Shufen was busy on his desk. "President Feng, the doctor, has examined the wounds of Madam. He said that the wound will recover with time. He has prescribed an ointment for healing the other bruises but …" Gao Fan informed pausing in the middle of his words. His expressions, all serious and strict.

"But?" Feng Shufen asked, looking up at his secretary.

"But Madam has declined from taking any treatment. She didn't even let the nurse apply the ointment and neither has taken the medicines after lunch". The secretary completed the words that he has left incomplete. He was not sure what was wrong in the plot of romance that he has last witnessed in the car.

Feng Shufen's brows wrinkled with a frown but there was no irritation or anger on his face. Like he was already expecting something like this coming his way. Of course, there was no way in which he could forget that his woman has got stubbornness like no other. But least did he expect her to target her own health like this.

Wrapping the laptop on the desk, he stood at his full height as he ordered his secretary. "The files had already been checked. Send them to further process and don't disturb me from hereon. Ask the servants to send the dinner only when asked." He said and then sauntered off.

Gao Fan could only give a polite nod of acceptance to the orders while seeing his President walk off. He took the files in his hands and was about to turn around to carry forward the commands given to him when suddenly halted hearing his phone ringing in his pocket. Pulling out his phone, he was about to answer it when stopped himself, going against his own plans.

He stared at the display screen of his phone that stated that it was Director Qi calling and his lips arched up to give a smile of revenge. Though with the given superior position of Director to the man, it was not under Gao Fan's power to ignore his call but seeing to the special order from the President of restricting any call from the country, that could be counted one at this time and situation.

Soon the ring died down on its own and Gao Fan tucked the phone back into his pocket, walking off the room.

Back in the room, Li Xue was in a much more relaxed manner. She has already made herself quite comfortable in her position. Switching on the television, she was enjoying one of her favourite Hollywood movies, Twilight but every now and then her eyes would move to look in the direction of the door like she was waiting for someone's arrival.

And as per her expectancy, soon the door was pushed open and the man came strolling in. Li Xue remained all nonchalant to his appearance, not even lifting her eyes to spare him a look. Her eyes were all fixed on the scene where Edward for the first time got a flavorful sweet smell of Bella but could not help but be ignorant to her.

The story seemed all the same to her reality at this moment. There Edward was ignoring Bella fearing that he would lose himself if not stayed away from the beauty who took away his heart. And here she was trying to ignore Mr Beelzebub, fearing that if not done something soon then he will lose him in the stream of her own mistakes and misunderstandings.

She almost laughed out internally when drew such stupid thought of resemblance between her reality and the movie.

Feng Shufen also kept his eyes on the lady, not missing even a rarest blink of her eyes, reading everything she was having in her mind. He did not say anything to her, supporting her in her play of ignorance. But that never meant that he will let her forsake her health for a petty game.

Without saying anything, he directly walked his way to her side where all her medicines were kept. Getting out her prescribed dose for the afternoon, he said, "Here, take your meds first. It's already time. Don't be stubborn with your health".

"I am not taking it. I am all fine and would be able to manage the pain since it's not hurting that bad", Li Xue plainly responded, keeping her eyes still on the movie playing in front.

"Sweetheart, you can play as far as you want, I will play along with you. But I will not ever accept seeing you weak and frail like this. So, take the meds now", The man said again and Li Xue instantly bit her lips.

Of course, she knew it, that's why she has chosen this way. But never knew that the man would see through her moves before the game even started. "Who is playing here? I am not in the mood. Let me see the movie first" She said, working on her stubborn childish instincts.

"Li Xue! …"

"Fine, I will take the medicines. But … But promise me first that you will let me explain?" Since her moves were already been seen, it would only be better if she gets ready to compromise as at the end of the day, ignoring Mr Beelzebub has not been her forte.

Feng Shufen looked at her and suddenly his eyes became all soft and tender to her. "What is there to explain? I don't see anything there for which you would need to explain things to me, my love!"

Li Xue almost pouted at his words. What did he mean by those words? Wasn't he upset with her because of the misunderstandings all this time? Has left the country without informing her because he was upset with her? Then why was he not seeking any explanation now?

"I … No, this won't go, Mr Beelzebub! It's not me playing rather it's you. Weren't you upset with me all this week? First for me being ins.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e to you with my cruel words and then with that photograph that crazy man sent to you. No, no, I cannot let the misunderstanding extend to become a major issue. Let me explain the things clear to you so that you have no doubt regarding my feelings." Li Xue said getting on her panic mode but both her words and breath came to a halt when suddenly felt the man drawing closer to her enough to make her panic heart go insane.

"Do you really want to know what had actually made me go upset, my love? Then just ask me, I will tell you" He said in a torturously slow and mellow voice.

"You … what do you mean? Didn't I already list the things I have done to make you upset? Aren't they …" She asked but her question went interrupted as she saw the man shaking his head in denial. "Then …" She asked, almost getting breathless.

"It's for the torture you gave me last night! Didn't I have said you before that I am not a forgetful person?" He said, lifting her chin up to look into her eyes.
