Chapter 453 - Will support her to hide it until the end.

Li Xue could feel Feng Shufen's eyes on herself, but never in the whole time she intended to match those gazes. Getting off the bed, she quickly said before turning to walk in the direction of the closet, "I will also go and get freshen up first".

She was about to move away swiftly but was stopped in her tracks when heard the man ask from behind. "Do you have something to say"

Li Xue's lips pressed together. Was he really asking her to say something? Shouldn't it be him explaining things? Or he was just teasing her by not accepting it?

'Fine, if he wants it that way then I would play along with him. Hmph!' She muttered to herself, squinting her eyes at no one in particular but to her own thoughts. Getting herself tough at her thoughts, she turned on her heels to look at the man directly and said all confidently, "Nope, there is nothing. Should there be something for me to say?"

Feng Shufen looked at her with raised brows for some time but then getting normal nodded before adding, "It's fine then. Continue the things you have planned. But don't take a bath."

He said and was about to turn around to leave but right at that moment, Li Xue retorted against his words, "Why can't I take a bath? I will take bath for sure".

His brows furrowed as his forehead wrinkled a little. Slowly he turned back to look at the woman. Definitely, he could see something different in her attitude but not understanding the reasons behind it.

He could see her frowning with some annoyance but not sure what has annoyed her. He could see that she was irritated but was not sure what had caused her irritation. Though she was trying to act normal, he could still see the tightening of her jaws. Was she upset with him?

Not saying anything to her, Feng Shufen kept his eyes intact at her as he took his steps towards her. Li Xue's breath got hitched when saw him like that. She did not move but stayed stuck at her place. Though it was not her first time getting close to him, she was still feeling like it was one. They have already kissed so many times but still seeing the passion for herself in his eyes, she could feel the skip in her beating heart. From when did she become a personality like this? For heaven's sake, bashfulness was not in her character.

Soon Feng Shufen was in front of her. He looked into her ambers while she stared at his greys. After every few seconds she would blink away her eyes from him but would again get it back again at him with new confidence.

"What are you doing?" she asked while trying to step a little back when saw him lifting his hands up to touch her but the man was also adamant to know what she was all thinking about.

Combing his fingers between her hair, he said, "Is there something wrong? Did something go against your wish? Why are you so annoyed?" He asked, softly tugging her hair back behind her ears. His orbs having the softness that was only reserved for her. The patience that her existence has brought in his life.

Li Xue almost felt herself floating under his tender touches. Did he touch her the same way last night? She felt irritated at the thought of it.

"Nothing happened! I just didn't like it when you asked me not to take the bath. Why should I not bath? I want to get fresh", she said in an exasperated tone, turning her back at him.

Her irritation was not because of him or his touches, rather she was feeling annoyed at her own self. It was her first, yet she has nothing about it in her memories. How could her memory go so weak, that the moments of the most important and beautiful night of her life have gone missing?

"Your wounds are still not healed and are under the bandage. Getting your wound wet would not be good. So, consider having a sponge bath for a few days". The man said nonchalantly as if he wasn't offended even a bit.

Li Xue's eyes instantly went close, regretting the words from before. She really needs to control her temper and mood swings at times. Turning around, she kept her eyes low while she apologized, "I am sorry. I didn't mean it that way but was not able to control it. I would go and take the sponge bath." She said only to make the man smile at her naïve adorableness.

Shaking his head, he simply said, "It's fine. I didn't mind. Do you want some help in your bath?"

Li Xue simply shook her head, denying him, "Nope, I will manage". She said all solemnly with some guilty conscience and then again turned around to leave.

Feng Shufen let her leave. If she wants to hide something then too, he would support her in hiding it until she comes forward herself to reveal it all.

On the other side at some seaside, a Rolls Royce was resting in peace. The woman was sleeping all peacefully, dr.a.p.ed with a blanket at the back-passenger seat while the man at the front was silently staring at her soft features in the rear mirror.

His eyes were already showing the tiredness evidencing his sleepless night in just one glance. His eyes were all still at the woman with such adoration that could make anyone vouch for his love for her. His eyes had the longingness for the lady that was promising intriguing tales but all those tales felt meaningless to him since he knew he was on the verge of losing something that was most precious to him.

"It's already morning, Director Qi. Could you please stop your staring game now? I have become all tired of feeling your stares on me. Your eyes must be the same. So, kindly stop it now" Suddenly the woman said, taking the man with surprise.
