Chapter 166 - A line she has drawn for no one to cross.

The more Qi Shuai heard Ryan, the more he wanted to kill himself with his own hands. Jeez, just kill me now! The Devil will torture me to death if he comes to know about this! He was cursing himself for giving in, in front of her wishes and bringing her here. 'Lord! Why … Why did I ever have a crush on her?' Knowing how this situation will end up at the end, he just wanted to get a time machine to go back and undo his actions from the past.

He could still remember the exact promising words of his friend from several nights before when he had only raised his doubts about her being unacceptable in his family and WeiWei being a child out of the scandal. He would have died that day itself, irrespective of the fact that he was his best buddy from childhood if the devil would not have been in the good mood because of his lady love.

But in today's scenario, he sees no option in which he would be saved. Ryan's words were not only insultive for Li Xue but were also bad for any children to hear. "Ryan, you are taking it far too much. Why would I present you as evil? Your own absurd words are making you look like one. Can you now please stop it?" He tried his words again, hoping that it could succeed. But that was not an easy task.

Seeing the people getting so conscious about such a simple thing, Ryan took her assumption about the existence of Li Wei to be correct. Getting a ray of hope from her own drawn conclusions, she did not want to back off thinking that maybe … just maybe she could succeed. 'Finally, I have caught the weak nerve of this bi*ch, let's see how can she save her face in front of Shufen now? Now she can let him know her true face'.

When she heard Qi Shuai interrupting her once again, her agitation broke. Glaring at him, she warned "Shuai, don't interfere. I don't want to have an argument with you. We are here for dinner, so just have your food".

"Exactly Ryan, we are here for dinner. This is the thing you need to understand. Can't you see there is a child here or have you lost your sense of your surroundings?" This time the man was really serious and stern. His playful aura was nowhere to be found.

When the two were arguing, none noticed the changing expressions on Li Xue's face. Her amber eyes get a little darker in its own shade and her fists get clenched on the table to an extent of making her knuckles go white.

Chen Yujian was the first one to notice this when he felt the same cold air in the room which he had felt in the morning, inside the Executive Chief's office. The only difference was that this time it was tenfold chillier than what he has experienced before. His body got stiffened on its own, making him realize that there was danger around.

Suddenly a voice resounded in the room, making the two people go silent for a moment. Their eyes get trained at the woman at once. "Li Wei, did you finish your dinner? Do you want to have anything more?"

The little girl, who has concentrated all her attention on her food, following her code of obedience taught by her mother, raised her eyes to give a smile to her Mama. "No Mama, I am all full. I have finished everything that Daddy Angel has served in my bowl, not leaving even a grain behind, same like you have taught me"

"You are my sweet girl! Now can you go and check what all books Daddy Angel has brought for you to read? You can take Brother Yujian with you. He can help you check a good one. Okay?" Li Xue said, moving her eyes to look at the man sitting beside her with a careful stiff face.

When Chen Yujian got the commanding gaze at him, he understood that this was the request for which he couldn't refuse. Nodding his head in agreement, he quickly stood up to oblige. At the side, the little girl also nodded with a smile "Yes Mama, I will go and check them. I am happy that Brother Yujian will accompany me"

Soon Chen Yujian took the little girl upstairs with him, leaving the three people alone in the room behind. Qi Shuai was all silent seeing the changed attitude of Li Xue. She was definitely not the same whom he has met before. Right now her eyes looked so fierce that it can alone make the enemies lose their hopes to win.

Was this the fierce attitude for which Shufen fell for? He thought internally looking at her changed personality. At this moment, she looked like a complete match for Shufen. Her fierce look complimenting Shufen's cold look the best. Definitely, she was the only beauty suited to stand beside him. He was now all confident about the fact on which he had doubts before.

Ryan too can feel the change in the air. Saying that she wasn't scared would be a lie. Seeing Li Xue like this, she too felt the hair of her skin rising up in fear. But the reward she was aiming for was too tempting for her to back off.

"So Ms Kim, you can be more clear now. Let me see what is your level and extent of curiosity that made you lose your elegance and manners to behave". Li Xue's words came all blatant and sharp. She did not care to hold back. She did not mind Ryan's pretence of being all good and elegant all this time as she did not care. But now since her daughter was included, she would just not take it anymore.

Ryan can try all she wants to get the attention of Feng Shufen and make him reciprocate to her feelings, it will not be her place to make her know her position. It was simply something that did not feel worth her time and energy. But she would never take anyone's words against her daughter, never let anyone question her existence. This was something that was totally unacceptable to her. A line she has drawn for no one to cross.
