Chapter 120 - You did well, Li Xue!!

The words of Feng Shufen were very warm and tender. If it was said to any other woman then she would not have dared to reject them again, even after excluding the fact that it was said by none other than but the Feng Shufen, the mysterious shining prince of the country.

But here Li Xue was again rejecting him like none of his words were soft enough to touch her broken heart. The only feeling that she was showing in her eyes was of disappointment. Looking at her like that the man was really taken aback. For the first time in his life, he felt confusion in his head. He failed to comprehend her words and thoughts.

But when he looked into her disappointed eyes, he got a hunch of something wrong. He wanted to console her saying that don't jump to conclusions, as his words meant nothing wrong for her but he wasn't getting her thoughts. How could he deny her thoughts when he himself has no idea of what's going in her mind?

Raising his brows, he wanted to ask her to explain her mind but a fear to make things go more wrong made him hesitate in his words. No words came out to question her, but the woman taking his questioning gaze as a cue repeated her words again.

"Did my attitude of hard to pique the interest of President Feng?" She repeated her question again but there was no desire of getting any answer from him. Like she has already found an assumed answer inside her brain.

Shrugging herself away from his grip, she walked a little back continuing her words, "Of course, only that reason fit in this picture. Or else what other reason can serve this place right? Being at your position no one would have ever dared to reject you and when I did, maybe that made the things go wrong. It might have hurt your man's ego, but believe me, I never wanted it to go that way …"

She paused when she saw him coming close to her once again; trying to hold her once more. But before he could, she lifted both of her hands up to dodge his touch. Dodged his concern for which she was a yearning inside. "I never tried to get your attention. It has never been in my plan. Believe me! After getting burned once in my life, I never saw any need of getting it the second time. The first time already made me lose myself and the people I loved dearly. I doubt the second will be even worse than that"

She said without giving any thoughts to the consequences it was going to bring to her. But one thing she was very much sure of was that she would be regretting her own words soon. Her heart was screaming inside to not say anymore, yet her words were not stopping from coming out.

Her inner warnings were confirmed when she found his eyes getting still and hard at her. Saying that he wasn't mad at her word will be a lie. His stiff brows and hardened expression were enough to vouch for that fact. But the reasons for his anger were different.

He knew that she had gone through the worst and her being cautious about the people around her was not wrong. But still, it annoyed him. Annoyed him with the thought that she took him the same as the others.

He knew that giving a second chance to her love life by trusting someone again was tough for her but he still felt that her previous relationship was not anywhere near to the one he had planned with her.

He felt vexed thinking that she was taking him the same as Zheng Wenting. Does she really not feel different with him, like he feels for her? Does she not feel how different and caring he was with her?

"Do you really think that about me?" He asked in a cold tone. His words not giving away anything except the anger he was feeling inside. The woman knew that he was already at the edge of losing his string of hope on her and her words of stubbornness will only ruin her chance with him. But still, her brain was supporting her mulishness. Not because she was a hard-headed woman by her personality but because she knew that at this rate she would definitely be falling deeper for him.

His eyes were locked with Li Xue. She wanted to look away but the charms of dark intensity were simply not letting her to, keeping her every sense jammed at him. "Is that not true?" she replied to his question with another question.

And that was it! Without saying any other word or giving another glance to her, he paced towards the exit door.

Her words were enough to put an end to their conversation at the moment itself, not because her stubbornness ruined her mood, but for the sake of their relationship which was yet to bloom. He knew that his anger would only bring more disaster to it, so in order to keep things in a healthy state; he just left.

Her anger was fine to him but losing her was something that scared him the most. He has never thought that something could ever scare him in this world but then his destiny found her.

Slamming the door hard behind him, he left without giving any glance back. If he did, then he would have seen the reality the woman was trying to hide from him. The tears that were at the edge of her eyelids would have confirmed to him that the feelings and emotions between them were mutual. That she also feels the same as he did for her.

Seeing him leave, Li Xue finally unleashed the fall of emotions she was holding back inside her. Tears at the edge of her eyelids, slowly rolled down her cheeks; making her feel the regret of her heart. "You did well, Li Xue!" she consoled herself. Being so outrageous was not her plan, it was something that her fear reared out from her. Fear of the changes that were going inside her with him around.
