Chapter 1381: Continuously giving a hard time to my woman.
At the dining table, while Li Xue was enjoying her breakfast, Feng Shufen was quietly looking at her. Observing her every expression and every move very diligently.
"Don't keep staring at me like that. The food might not be as light as you prefer for breakfast but believe me it's tasty and perfect to start your day with"
When Li Xue felt the continuous eyes of the man on herself, Li Xue spoke. But there was no hint of awkwardness in her tone; rather, she looked all used to his gazes.
"But Mama this is so spicy." WeiWei interrupted, not understanding why her mother was having such spicy food.
Li Xue turned to look at her daughter and then placed a small spoonful of food on her plate. "That's why I asked you to just have a taste of it. Too much spicy food will upset your stomach. Have your breakfast while having small bites of these."
She said and WeiWei looked back at her plate before forking a few veggies in her mouth. "This is tasty, Mama. When I grow up, can I eat more of it?"
Li Xue scooped some more in her mouth and nodded while chewing it. "Yes, you can but only sometimes."
While the two talked Feng Shufen just pinched the space between his brows. He never thought that there would come a time when he would get frustrated over a plate of food. But things happen without your knowledge.
While the three enjoyed having their breakfast, Sister Margaret seemed to be in different thoughts. She stood on the side and stared at them having their food. Her eyes especially remained on Li Xue as if she was studying her as a subject.
"Sister Margaret, is there a problem?" A maid asked with concern when she saw the suspiciousness in the gaze of the old lady.
As if she was pulled out from the trance, Sister Margaret looked a bit in daze at first. But then she said, "There doesn't seem to be a problem but I am doubting that Madam's eating habit more and more resembles that of the woman who is in the early stage of pregnancy."
She murmured softly but it was still loud enough to get in the audibility line of the maid. When she heard that, a line of happiness appeared on her expression as she turned to confirm, "Really Sister Margaret? Is Madam pregnant?"
At her gentle yet high pitched voice, Sister Margaret realized that she had not been careful. Her expressions turned a bit strict as looking at the maid, she warned, "Don't become a big mouth. We are not yet sure. And things like pregnancy are sensitive. You better not spread it without any proper confirmation."
The maid instantly understood the old lady's warning. Downing her head, she quickly said, "I understand. I won't talk about this topic with others."
Sister Margaret nodded with a hum. Although people often don't believe the gossiper's promises, Sister Margaret was still sure that since the girl had said that she wouldn't speak then she definitely wouldn't do.
Not because she was very sincere by her words but because the maids at Feng mansion were trained that way. Each of them knew the consequences they would meet if they got caught spreading rumors about family members around.
When Sister Margaret got sure that the maid had understood things well, she turned to leave, leaving the family of three to enjoy their breakfast. The maid also followed her.
While the three people were enjoying their time at the breakfast table, the city newspapers and internet were crashing with the typhoon Li Xue and Feng Shufen stirred last night.
It had to be the launch party of LS Cosmetics on the international line, but it had turned out to be everything except that one essential thing.
Although the event did garner everyone's attention, the focus never came on the brand products. Be it the news or the internet, everyone was just talking about Li Xue and Feng Shufen.
Yesterday night, Lin Xinyi and Xiao Meng got late to the venue due to traffic and when they reached, they got to know that the event was long over. At that time, they couldn't guess what might have happened to quickly wrap-up the party, but while leaving the premise, they read almost everything on the internet.
From Bai Yuchen's open proposal to Li Xue to Li Xue's rejecting him. And then, from Li Xue accepting her relationship to Feng Shufen not denying her. Everything came in very description on the social handles.
While they didn't look surprised by the revelation, they could clearly read the people collapsing over the internet with their own thoughts, perceptions and then speculations.
"How is it going? Are things working?" Lin Xinyi asked, walking inside the PR department with scrunched expressions. Looking at her one could easily make out that the woman might not have slept since last night.
Xiao Meng, who stood right behind one of the PR professionals turned and looked at Lin Xinyi before shaking her head in refusal. "Nope, Sister Xinyi. I don't think that it's working."
The PR professional also pushed his chair. Revolving himself around on the chair, he spoke, "I have worked almost the whole night and have deleted more than hundred threads of public conversations, yet hundred new threads are getting created as we talk. I don't think at this rate our efforts would help."
"We can't leave it to be like that." Lin Xinyi's brows tugged in a frown. Although she knew things might be getting out of control, still hearing them say that there seems no way left wasn't the solution she was looking for.
"You guys are professionals, so be like one. If it's getting tough, work on it with tenfold efforts but I want solutions not excuses." She said firmly and right at that moment Su Fai's voice came from a distance, interrupting the tense air in the room.
"Have you people not yet taken control over the online threads? What am I even paying you all for if you are not able to find the solutions and are continuously giving a hard time to my woman?"
