Feng Shufen's eyes stared at the distance as he looked at the downing sun of the afternoon in the sky. He felt satisfied. His guilt getting a little less, remembering the blush of Li Xue's cheeks in the morning. That was the profile he has always known about her. The guise of her for which he has fallen for.
Although she has always been existing somewhere around flocking with his sister, he has never thought to pay any heed about it. He still remembers when for the first time he has come to know about her existence. To him, it was not Li Xue that came first rather it was The_Sharpest_Arrow who has made him meet the real Li Xue.
His lips left a soft melodic chuckle in solitude when remembered her innocently asking how he came to know her identity as The_Sharpest_Arrow. Does she even have to ask that? Of course, he knew it from the day she started the rumour against him. Did she really think that he would not search for the person who started such a heavy accusation on him?
At that time, he still remembers how itchy he felt to ruin the person who was behind that rumour but his breath paused when came to know the woman behind it. Still, he was not sure if it was first sight love of which the world has several tales? Or did everything start with her intriguing character? He did not get into the details of her life but just the scratch of her character was enough to keep him at the hook.
What he remembers was just that once he started reading and discovering more about her, there was no return. He was not sure of the things that were keeping him interested in her. Was it her headstrongness? Was it her sharp tongue? Or was it her inexplicable beauty that was not innocent but still felt innocent to his eyes?
But all those sweet memories only remained up until he did not get into that accident years ago where he remained unconscious for more than a week. It took time for him to recover and when finally, he came back to read about her again, she was already gone, leaving only her sweet memories and guilt inside his heart for him to enjoy in solitude.
Feng Shufen's fist clenched tight inside his pockets when he remembered the headlines that came in the newspapers. He wanted to do something at that time … wanted to search her back but he knew better than anyone else that there had never been any use of crying over spilt milk.
Suddenly a knock at his cabin's door broke his trance. "Come in!" his usual cold firm tone shot out but he did not turn to look who was there. Still looking at the sun, he decided to enjoy some time sighting the soothing sight today.
"President Feng!" Gao Fan addressed as he entered inside the cabin with his tablet in hand. "We received the confirmation. The fish has taken the bait and will soon be coming back to get trapped in our net. It's another week"
The secretary reported with a stoic face as he looked at the powerful stature of his President at the front.
"…" Feng Shufen did not give any reply. He just kept staring out the window. On the floor, he was standing at, was making him feel the people walking, driving and running on the streets merely like some crawling ants that he could easily crumple down by his feet.
If it had been someone else thinking so, it might sound like some brag coming out from an overweening billionaire but since it was Feng Shufen, his words were definitely not arrogance but the furiousness he was feeling for a particular person in his heart.
"A week is too much time!" He simply said and his secretary behind nodded to his words, exactly understanding what his President was actually ordering for.
"Yes, President Feng! I will make him hurry and come before" Gao Fan said but then suddenly paused. With some hesitation written on his face, he asked, "President Feng, if you allow, can I ask you something?"
"…" Feng Shufen did not say anything but the secretary knew that he had the permission to put forward his words.
"I just wanted to ask that since we can easily tackle Mr Han for Madam, then why are we not aiming for it rather keeping our aim only focused on bringing that old hag back to the country. Won't it be better if we handle him in our own hands?"
Feng Shufen would have also loved to do that but then again, he could not forget that the woman to whom all of this was concerned, was not the one to seek easy help from others. She loves to pave her own way to success all independently. And being her man, he has to make sure that all her wishes got satisfied the way she wants them.
"Do you still doubt the capabilities of your Lady Boss, Gao Fan"
The secretary almost shrieked with some remembrance of his memories. After the sight he had witnessed, how could he dare to doubt the skills of the lady? Definitely, he could not! The way her frail yet deft hand has handled the pen, he could just expect more unexpectedness to come from her character.
If tomorrow, he comes to know that she has been a woman who has been working for some top-notch undercover squad, he would not be surprised even for a bit. Because he has already started taking her as one in his thoughts.
"I am sorry, President Feng! I never intended to say my words that way. My extreme apologies, if it sounded that way" Gao Fan apologized, instantly bowing his head down behind Feng Shufen.
"Since my wife is already capable of handling her stuff, why make her life boring. She could enjoy her game on her own." Feng Shufen mused with a smile of pride playing on his lips.
How could he not feel proud of her?
