Chapter 1372: Fear of blood

Although Li Xue held a smile on her face, Feng Shufen’s expression never changed. He still held an accusation in his gaze as if letting her know how much he was suffering because of her.

When Li Xue caught sight of his sullen face, she couldn’t help but feel like coaxing him. So, just to ease his frowning brows, she took a step closer to him before reaching out to move her fingers on his wrinkles. “Fine, you don’t have to show your resentment to me like this. Forgetting you must not be in my plans; it was an accident which happened without giving me any prior notice. So even though I am to be blamed, I am not rightly to be blamed.”

She said softly before tip-toeing on her feet and getting up to kiss his lips. Although it was just a small peck, it easily soothed the turbulent emotions going in the heart of Shufen.

When they separated, she smiled and asked again, “So are you going to tell me about us?”

No one more than Feng Shufen wanted to remind her about their past. But then he was not sure what if her situation was still stable or not?

“Do you really want to know?” He asked and his eyes showed hints of fear. When Li Xue noticed that, her heart felt the warmth of his concern but at the same time, her mind contradicted with anger and her expression instantly changed.

Although she knew his concern, still her curiosity about her past with him was just killing her. She was feeling the connection and closeness she was sharing with him, but she was also fearing that her memory loss was just pulling her away from him. And that was something that twisted her nerves again and again, keeping her always at the edge.

“If you still have a doubt in that, then consider I haven’t asked you. Let’s go. It’s getting late.” She said and then turned to leave. But right when she was about to walk away, he held her hands before pulling her to him. Wrapping his arms around her, he kept her enclosed to himself.

Li Xue halted at his initiation. But then she tried to pry open his arms to get away from him. But no matter how she tried, his hold remained all firm on her.

“I am not accusing you. I can’t accuse you because it has never been your fault to begin with. It has always been me. Causing you troubles and becoming the reason for all your miseries. I am one one you should accuse because I wasn’t able to protect you.”

He said, and even though Li Xue can’t see his expressions while he spoke all this, she could feel his grief and regret in his voice. And there was something she felt on her shoulders as well. She need not ask to know that it was his tears.

People say that men never cry. But she knew that when they really did, it meant only one thing: that their emotions had long surpassed the limits.

How could her heart not melt seeing him like this? Her struggling figure relaxed on her own as she let him hold her for a while long before patting his arms to say, “Even if you are at fault, I don’t remember anything to know what you actually did to me. Until and unless I come to know, I may not be able to punish you. So, tell me all of it and let me decide.”

She said and then put a full stop to her sentence, waiting to hear him say anything. But still seeing him not saying anything, she didn’t force him any longer. No longer holding any anger in her voice, she said, “It’s okay. It’s getting late. Let’s return home first.”

Saying that she got away from him before gesturing to him to get to the car. Feng Shufen stared at her, trying to read her expression. When he finally saw her back to normal, he nodded, “Fine, I will drive you back to the palace?”

He said, and at once, Li Xue raised her brows at him. “Back to the palace? What do you mean by that, Mr. Husband? Didn’t we just announce to everyone that we are going back home? Even though the royal palace is my home, it’s not my home with you. So, you should drive us back to our home.”

She said as if it was a matter of fact. But then the other second, she explained, “Don’t forget I just gave you all three titles inside. If people come to know that I lied, I will really lose my image in front of everyone. So, irrespective of what happened in our past, we would need to make our present and future together. So, …”

“You haven’t eaten anything inside earlier. Do you have anything that you feel like eating? I will let Sister Margaret know. Before we get back, she will keep it prepared.” Feng Shufen didn’t let her complete, rather spoke with eagerness.

Li Xue smiled when she felt his efforts. But then keeping her composure, she pondered to say, “Umm … you can ask her to make something spicy. Also, if they can prepare some kimchi, I would love it.”

She said and her preferences like that made Feng Shufen pause for a second. But then, he nodded before pulling out his phone to make the call. “Sister Margaret, …” He was about to speak when the panicked voice of the old lady came first.

“Young Master, you need to return home soon. Little young miss is not good. We have called the doctor but she is continuously asking for Madam in her unconscious state.”

Feng Shufen’s expressions froze for a moment. “Did something happen?” He asked in a tone that felt like he was aware of WeWei’s situation.

Sister Margaret didn’t delay spilling the beans at once. She knew the urgency of the situation, so she said, “Young Master, one of the maids fell from the stairs earlier. Little young miss was playing outside. Hearing the sound when she came inside, she saw the maid lying in the puddle of blood. I think the sight of blood has again triggered her situation.”
