Chapter 456 - Were you punishing me?

Feng Shufen's brows got slightly raised at Li Xue when heard her words. Frowning his brows slightly, he said with a dark frigid tone, "I should have been a little careful. My apology! From next time I will always keep the things in mind and will take the precautions accordingly".

Li Xue could purse her lips at his words. Did he really think that he would be able to control himself from next time? A beast could never give up his beastly habits. Their nature was just bound to surface their actions, sooner or later.

"It's okay. Don't apologize for the uncontrollable things. Though these marks won't leave the scars behind, still give me the oil, I would apply it regularly on my own. You would not have to take the bother", she said before taking the small glass bottle off his hand and then stood up to walk back to the mirror.

The man looked at her for a second. And just when she was about to walk away, he pulled her back by her wrist, making her fall on his l.a.p. For a second, Li Xue was taken aback by his sudden action but it did not take her any longer time to get herself composed to it again. As it was just not the first time of her falling into his trap.

She looked into his eyes, keeping her expressions straight, "What is it now, Mr Beelzebub? I still need to get ready fast. WeiWei wants to spend some fun time with me. I need to hurry". She said with utmost nonchalance and then tried to get up back on her foot. But when did the Devil's clutches become so weak?

The moment she tried to get up, his arms simply went to snake around her waist, keeping her in place. "Sshh … Stay put for a moment," He said softly in a hushed tone before taking the bottle back from her. Still caging her between his arms, he opened the cap off the bottle to take some drops of oil in his hand.

Gesturing her with his head, he asked her to pull her neck to the other side, so that one part gets properly revealed to him for applying the oil. But with all these days spent with her, the most prominent thing which the man has come to know about her was her stubbornness. How can she not show it when the situation was demanding it so openly?

Puffing her cheeks a little, Li Xue turned her face to the other side, resisting the man's demand. "I am saying I can do it. Let me do it myself!"

Her stubbornness was as impeccable as her beauty! Something complimenting her the best!

Feng Shufen could only cherish her in her original form. Keeping his best patience in check, he moved his hands to lift her chin up on his own and said, "Don't be mad at this, my love. These small bite marks won't leave a scar behind. It will just take a few days to heal. We have to put this medicinal oil on it from time to time and soon it will be gone"

He explained before slowly putting the oil on every red spot on her neck. Li Xue could only press her lips at his words. She has no intention to stay upset with him but she was not able to help it whenever it comes revolving to the same thing again and again.

Feng Shufen looked at the woman's unwilling expression and could only smile with adoration. Though he had no idea what had vexed her so much, in her eyes and expressions he could see well that being so stubborn with him, she, herself, was not liking it.

Turning her face to look into his eyes, he asked "Why did you not stay put to the place I asked you to? If you have been a little obedient to me, then this won't have happened?"

And instantly saw the woman's eyes widening at his words, "Sorry! What do you mean? I moved behind those bushes to get a clear vision of the happenings between you and Yi Lan. How did it become my fault? Were all your actions from last night out of punishment because I do not stay put at the place?"

Feng Shufen brows wrinkled in confusion when heard her. What punishment was she talking about?

"Mr Beelzebub, I am sorry. I know my words are sounding a little illogical but it's because I am irritated. Don't bother too much about those. Though I don't remember a thing from last night after I dozed off, I completely understand you. It's not like I am blaming you for things but it is more like I am regretting myself for not remembering anything", Li Xue confessed on her own, not wanting to hurt the man in any way. He was already very patient with her. Now it was her turn to be understanding to him.

"Thank you for this essential oil. I will make sure to use it every day till the marks on my neck heal completely", the woman added before getting up from his l.a.p and walking back to the dressing table.

This time the man did not hold her back. His eyes just stared at her contemplating her words when suddenly he said, "Those marks on your neck are the mosquito bite".

Li Xue's steps halted halfway as she turned back to ask with some confusion, "What?"

Feng Shufen's lips curled into a smirk in response to her confusion as he explained, "The bushes where you dozed off last night have a small man-made pond at the corner. Since no proper hygiene check is maintained in that area, there were several mosquitos."

It took some time, but soon Li Xue understood the meaning behind that information. Her cheeks get flushed with embarrassment while her eyes get closed with a wish to find some hole in the floor to hide herself from such embarrassment.
