Inside the well-lit, dazzling closet
Li Xue was all stiff with her posture, with a weird fear in her heart that even her simplest movement could also bring her to the consequences, which will be tough for her to afford. The heart inside her chest felt like it could burst at any moment due to the erratic rate of her heartbeat she was sensing.
They were not that close but it was enough to make them feel the heat and shiver of each other's body. His gaze was fixed at her porcelain, petite facial frame making her hold her breath inside.
Up at such close distance, Li Xue's lips moved slightly with a shiver when she felt his cold, minty breath over hers, grasping his attention all at one point. "You are really making it impossible for me, you know? Don't test my limits when you know what exactly you are changing inside me"
He said, his words turning a little heavy and fuzzy for her understanding. She wanted to remove her hand around his neck but her muscles felt just jammed up there. "Shufe … I mean President Feng" after putting all her will and strength at use, she finally initiated her words out.
Subconsciously, she has called him with his name first but when remembered his warning from, moments before, instantaneously her address got changed, making her go back to her formal side. Biting her lips lightly, she continued, "I didn't intend to offend you in any way. Please don't mistake my words".
Her nervousness filled with innocence brought a low peal of rumbling chuckle from the man's heart, leaving Li Xue all baffled with her own thoughts. Saying that the steamy sensations that have generated just a few moments before, was only out of joke would be a lie. That fierceness of hunger in his eyes was not wrong. The wild air shrouding him was not false. The edge of losing control was also true. But there was also one more truth that cannot be ignored.
The truth of the existence of tough walls of stubbornness around Li Xue! The wall of stubbornness that would not allow Li Xue to accept her own heart that easily and will also make her run far-far away from him if it senses anything closer to her reserved closed zone.
Portraying his actions just as a prank, he allowed a little space between for which she was anxious. It was tough for him to change his expression of dark desire but when it came to Li Xue's comfort zone, he was all fine to do whatever that comes in the way.
Taking the chance of the little distance between them that has come after slight adjustments in their position, she quickly pulled away from her arms back, wrapping it lightly around her waist.
Her eyes, looking at the man who was enjoying her trepidation. She wanted to feel annoyed at him. Wanted to lash out, but for some unknown reasons, she felt a little tingly inside her heart when her gaze caught his cold eyes showing lines of satisfaction at the corners. That satisfaction reached from his heart to hers as if letting her know that they were the same, not different. Unknown to her, her own lips curled in a beautiful arc and her gaze stopped at him.
When she realized, it was already too late. The man has already caught her red-handedly gawking at him. His eyes turned a little suggestive at her, making Li Xue's cheeks burn. "I think I should quickly take some clothes for Li Wei. She must be waiting for me" she said as she hurriedly took her steps towards the section where several dresses for little were kept hanging.
Feng Shufen did not say anything. His eyes just followed her every movement, keeping a check at all her actions.
Feeling his intense eyes on herself, Li Xue felt her hands fiddling through the clothes aimlessly, not able to decide anything properly. The torture became unbearable, not helping her in any way. Finally, not able to take it anymore, she turned on her heels with her lips pursed in a straight line.
"Didn't you say that you are in the mood to cook then why are you still standing here?" she questioned in an irritation filled tone. "You should go and get back to work. I will help myself and would also come and ask your help when needed", she added. Her deliberate efforts to send him away was very much obvious but that was not the thing that amused the man, rather it was the claim of possession she was showing on him.
Her possessive and demanding claim on him made his heart leap with joy. He has never thought that he will ever enjoy being claimed by anyone. "Yes I was on my way there but then thought to help you with the closet," he said plainly, letting her know his innocent intentions.
On his way! The kitchen is on the opposite side, downstairs Mr. Beelzebub! Can you please give some proper thought before making an excuse?
"Oh okay! I think I understood everything here. Please, you are already doing so much for us, I can't bother you anymore with such trivial things", she said, getting back to her polite side. She did not want to trigger things anymore because the things from before had already made her heart stop out of anxiousness.
Feng Shufen looked at her and nodded in acceptance of her words. And Li Xue's heart instantly jumped with achievement. She thought that her words were easily able to lure the Devil out of the village but her smile got stiffened when she saw the man's steps progressing towards her once again.
'Now, what is he planning to do?' she asked internally as her foot went back on its own, pulling perfect synchronicity with his.
"Preside … ah I mean Shu … no Mr Beelzebub, I think you have mistaken the direction of the exit. The exit is not in your front rather behind you. Please …" she spoke but halted in the middle when she felt the hollowness of the cupboard behind. She was already at the end of her escape, but the Devil was giving no hints of stepping back.
"There is still one thing left for me to tell you," Feng Shufen said in a low voice, taking his steps more ahead towards her. His lips giving a lopsided grin, making her anxiousness grow more and more with the closing difference.
