Chapter 160 - Coveting Devil's Kalon.

Li Xue was truly speechless at his choice of words. But she had no time to think about it yet. There were guests truly under her care because, with the attitude of Feng Shufen, she could not see anything good coming. He would rather remain cold and aloof to everyone or will simply chase them out. And witnessing everything now, she really feared the second option.

"Haha … Ms Kim, please come in. You have already been friends with Shufen for so many years now. You must now already be aware of his weird behaviour. He is not accustomed to many people around, always loves to remain alone", Li Xue spoke softly and then gestured to her to come in.

No matter how embarrassed she got, Ryan would never allow her self-respect to ruin her chance to enter Feng Shufen's place and his heart. It was her first time coming here. Though now she was no more the first woman to enter his place or heart still she can't let herself lose the string of hope. There will definitely be a chance for her. All she has to do is just to prove that this woman is just another woman after her own benefits.

Getting herself determined with her own story, Ryan entered the house putting an acceptable frail smile on her face. 'Ryan, be strong! Soon you will be taking the position of the lady of this house and also the man's heart. Just endure a little more and stay a little more strong' She chanted inside her heart.

Seeing the two enter inside, Li Xue remained at the door, taking a look outside. "Are you waiting for someone?" Suddenly the man asked from the side. He was about to stroll inside but halted his steps when he found the woman not following him.

"Didn't you say that this dinner is to celebrate your nephew's return? So is he not coming?" Li Xue asked, eying him a little suspiciously. Did he dupe her again? Pursing her lips at him, she waited to get her answers.

It was already tough for Shufen to look at her like this. Her every action was a seduction for him. Her every expression seemed to be cute and adorable to his eyes. And right now too, her clear innocence was tempting his heart. Not able to take the temptation, he pulled out his hand to pinch her nose lightly in adoration.

Li Xue's eyes went wide at his sudden audacious action. This was something she had not expected. Was she looking like a kid to him?

"I have not tricked you this time, my love. This dinner is definitely to celebrate our nephew's return. But are you planning to keep standing here till he arrives?" The man asked moving his hands on to her hair to give light caresses.

Seeing him give her such treatment, Li Xue did not know whether she should laugh or cry. She wanted to stomp her foot hard on the ground but that action will ultimately prove more to be in the kiddish attitude.

"Hey, Shufen can you not kill us with your PDA? For God's sake, I have never seen you like this in my all living years. It might kill me out of a heart attack. Please be a little kind to us", Qi Shuai yelled from the living room.

Beside him, Ryan was also having a hard time but the reasons were different. Seeing them so close to each other in front of her eyes was making it tough for her. Her fingers had already clutched around the seater fabric to keep her heart at ease and alive after witnessing everything so closely and clearly.

Li Xue quickly distanced herself a little from the man. "Do you take me as a kid?" She asked in a slight displeased tone, finger-combing her hair back to proper it like before.

Feng Shufen looked at her and gave a smile, "What do you think?"

"You …" Li Xue could not help but bite her lips to suppress her further words deep in her throat, keeping in mind that they were not alone at the place rather had guests to host.

"Okay fine, don't sulk now. We can talk about this after they are gone. For now, come let's attend them first", the man said, reaching her hand to hold into his and then making their way inside.

Li Xue did not mind him holding her hands, since Ryan was also present at the scene. For a moment, she didn't even realize it. To her, his touch wasn't any different, more like something she has already grown used to with.

"Sister – in – law … ohh I mean Xiao Xue, you know I am loving this house more with your presence. It is looking warmer, livelier and colourful with you here. Or else only coldness is what with which this whole place is always shrouded in, especially this friend of mine" Qi Shuai said as he saw the couple walking in, holding each other's hands.

Not knowing how to reply to those words, Li Xue just put a smile. But right at this moment, a voice from the entrance made her surprised for a second. "Xena!". That name … wasn't it …

She turned to look at the entrance, her hands still in the hands of the man. It was as she had expected. The person standing at the entrance was none other than Chen Yujian. His eyes also held the same surprise she was having in hers. His eyes trailed towards the connected hands, making him more confused about the scene.

He wanted to ask her something but before he could say anything, a friendly pair of arms wrapped around his shoulders from behind pushing him in front. "You, bratty brat, finally you have shown up. Do you even know how late you are? Now, what are you waiting here for, come in and greet your elders?"

Seeing Chen Yujian arrive, Qi Shuai has already gone to complete the task he was assigned to. His lips turned up to give a cruel smile as he iterated the same words in his mind. 'Young Boy, you are too young to handle your uncle's tricks and ways. So you better destroy all your thoughts of coveting Devil's Kalon.'
