Chapter 457 - A wave of euphoria.

Li Xue was all embarrassed at her own thoughts. When and how did she become such a pervert? All this while she was thinking about some romantic moment between her and Mr Beelzebub. How come she did not even care to see the other side of the coin? Has she become such desperate one from all these long years of singlehood that after seeing such simple red marks, she presumed all such e.r.o.t.i.c stories?

She cussed herself internally in the wave of chagrin, keeping her eyes close. Even with hooded eyelids she could feel the man smirk in her direction. Feeling such a gaze of him, she truly wanted to search for a burrow to hide herself inside.

'Li Xue, you brought it on yourself. Who asked you to think else wise? Where did you lose your innocent mind? Find it back and face the situation. This was just a normal misunderstanding and can happen with anyone. You are no one new', Li Xue boosted her confidence up before opening her eyes.

But the moment she did, she flinched back in surprise, almost losing her footing on the floor when saw the man already standing in front of her. But right at the time when she thought she would fall, she felt his arms snaking around her preventing her from falling.

"When did you come this close? Weren't you standing there at a distance? Then how …" She said in half astonishment but her words struck halfway when saw the man drawing close to her face with an attempt to reach her lips while his fingers weaving between her hair locks.

"Do you even know, it's already hard for me to maintain my self – control around you? Yet you dare to make me know your fantasies. Are you deliberately teasing my nerves to make it worse?" Feng Shufen asked in a whisper, gently breathing out his cold minty fresh breath over her skin.

Li Xue could only stare him up this close. Being so near to him, she could not resist swooning over every perfect feature of his delicate face. Her breath hitched with the thought of his words but she decided to feign her type of innocence to it. "What did I do? Don't blame me for the things about which I am all innocent".

She said then quickly straightened herself from his arms. Removing his hands from around her waist she was about to move away but the movements of Feng Shufen were quicker than her thoughts.

Before even she could move away from his touch, he brought her back into his arms and said, "Are you sure about your innocence?" He asked, teasing her ambers deep with his greys while his one spare hand went to comb away her hair while tracing the sides of her cheeks.

The woman's thoughts trembled but still, she made her best efforts to come out all brave and confident. "Of course, if not my innocence then on whose innocence could I be sure? Furthermore, I am not a pervert like you to think the meaning otherwise."

The man chuckled at her bravery. At this moment, she was no less than the lamb pretending to be a tigress in front of another predator. Doing her best to come out confident, when she was already quavering under his touches. His lips tugged on one side to form a smirk as he blatantly worded out everything.

"From your words earlier, I felt like you were accusing me of the actions of others. So, tell me, do you really think my bite marks would be the same as these mosquitoes?"

He said and at his words, Li Xue could only open and close her mouth speechlessly. How can he be this blatant with his thoughts and words? "You … you are really a pervert. Who would have such weird thoughts?"

The man did not reply to her words but just raised his brows at her to let her know what he actually meant in his reply.

"Absurd! I don't even know what you are talking of. I have an innocent brain and I could never think of such things". She said pushing the man away from her but his hold remained firm on her. "What are you holding me for now? Didn't I already make your doubts clear? I didn't think anything you thought I was thinking of. Now, come on, leave me". Li Xue said, looking at him while her hands tried pushing him non-efficiently.

At her words, suddenly the man loosened his hold around her. Taking the opportunity, Li Xue quickly freed herself and went to the dressing table to complete her remaining things. While the man remained put at his place looking at her in the mirror.

Though not openly, Li Xue was also moving her eyes to look at him every now and then, only to find him staring at her continuously. Not able to take his stares any longer, she looked at him putting her hands over her h.i.p.s before asking, "Mr Beelzebub, what are you looking at? Don't you have any important work today?"

The man thought for a moment before saying, "I was contemplating on the benefits that will come in my way if I let you know what in actuality my bite marks look like" He said, still keeping his eyes mysteriously at the woman.

Li Xue's brows furrowed in confusion, not understanding the meaning of his words in any straight way. "So, what did you come to know. Are there any benefits that interest you?" She asked all naïvely.

Feng Shufen returned her words with a smirk as he continued, "Indeed! It is giving me the benefits that I could not brush aside" He said and in the next few strides, he was already in front of her.

Before the woman could register anything, she heard him say, "Let me share the benefits with you then" And the next moment, she felt him dip down to her shoulder, brushing away the wavy lock off her shoulders.

"You …" She started her words to say something but her every rational brain cell went off when she felt a wave of euphoria burst inside her.
