Seeing her favourite Handsome Angel right when she was demanding, made the little girl all cheerful. She leapt forward in the direction of the man, calling out jovially "Handsome Angel! Good morning!!"
Looking at the little piece sprinting towards him with her stubby legs, Feng Shufen's lips face revealed a hint of contentment. His lips that rarely showed any hint of expressions curled slightly up to greet back his little piece.
Swiftly picking her up in his arms, he replied "Good morning, WeiWei!" Then his eyes trailed to look in the direction of the woman, who was standing all surprised at her place.
Li Xue was all stumped. This man … was he here to tempt her, early in the morning? And what's with that smile with his …
The man has his lips curled up into a smile when his eyes get locked with her. It was not an intentional trap set by him, but the result that it was bringing was none less than it. Somewhere in her heart, she was feeling her emotional determination getting wavered. Those cold, steely eyes were not complimenting his gentle smile, yet it felt so warm and perfect to her eyes. A sight that was mesmerizing her to the core.
"Good morning!!" Feng Shufen greeted, keeping his eyes on the woman who has been trying all his heart's patience from the day he has met her.
At his sudden voice, Li Xue was snapped back to her jammed senses. "Uhh … Good morning, President Feng!" she replied as she made her way towards the duo. Little Li Wei felt all happy and joyful seeing her Handsome Angel once again around her, not caring about any of her surroundings.
"Ahh … sorry President Feng, I didn't expect to see you this early, that's why I was shocked. Pardon my impoliteness", she said, getting a little apologetic with her tone.
Feng Shufen looked at her and nodded. "It's fine. The working hours have not yet started, so you are not my employee at this moment. There is no need to be so formal". He said, getting all easy. Turning his head back to the little, he asked, "So all ready?"
Little Li Wei nodded her head in acceptance, showing her beautiful pearly smile. "Yes, President Feng, we are on our way to the school. She can't be late, so I got her ready a little ahead of time" Li Xue answered, looking at her daughter and gesturing to her to get down from the embrace. Seeing her mother asking her to pull out from the embrace of her Handsome Angel, she pouted with a little hesitation and disappointment.
Feng Shufen too caught that small exchange between the two in front of his eyes. Letting out a known chuckle for the two and then said, "Oh … that's good then. Let's get going".
Li Xue was all confused at his words, failing to understand what he meant by the phrase 'get going' until she saw the man opening the door of the car for her to enter. "This … President Feng, no need to bother. We will manage. I have already called a cab to come. You were already waiting for someone. It would only be better if we don't interrupt your work"
The man looked at her and said plainly, "There is nothing to bother. I was waiting for you two to come out. Dropping Li Wei school has already been scheduled in my time schedule. It's your denial, that's hindering my time. So quickly get in the car, so that we can get to the school at the time. I am sure that you won't want WeiWei to be late on her second day of school"
The driver, who was standing by the side of the car waiting for the orders was all amazed by the scene. It was his first time, seeing the young Master of the Feng family say so many words at one go and that too with such warmth and gentleness. Though the tone used, might sound a little dictatorial, but being working under him the driver knew that there was no arbitration behind rather it was a unique way of asking the person to give in to his demands with their own wishes and heart.
"But …" Li Xue still tried to resist but the man interrupted her in the between. "There are still 'buts' here. I don't think my watch can manage any extra time for that". He said as looking at his Patek Philippe limited edition watch, showing the hints of urgency in his words and expressions.
That urgency was enough to make Li Xue give in to his wishes. Because in the end, she can feel the love and care he was showering over her daughter. How can she hinder his work when he was only doing good for them? She quickly got inside the car, waiting for the man and her daughter to do the same.
Little Li Wei was happy since her wishes get fulfilled without her demanding. "Handsome Angel, are you going to accompany me to the school again", she asked joyfully.
Feng Shufen nodded. "Yes, I will accompany you to school daily", he said and then helped himself in the car along with his little piece.
Daily! Won't that interrupt his schedule?
Hearing him say that the woman hurriedly said "President Feng, please don't be like this. If you do this daily, then it will only interrupt your work time. We can really manage on our own"
"You don't have to do it on your own. Furthermore, WeiWei's school is on my way, so I can manage. Please don't be so cautious around me. If you can't accept me as your boyfriend or reciprocate to my feelings then at least be a little considerate to accept me as your friend", the man said. His expressions are poker.
As he said those words, his eyes looked into hers, as if blaming her for the pain she has caused to him. Those eyes made her heart filled with guilt. But her brain somewhere knew that it was yet another trap for her. This man was creating a big web of traps for her.
'Argh! His eyes are hypnotizing me again. No, no Li Xue! Quickly look away or again you will be falling all willingly into it', the inner voice of the woman screamed to warn her but it has already been late to back out now.
