Chapter 59 - I want to say something

When he saw her coming back to the patio, clenching his fists tightly he tried to control his breath so as not to scare her. Unable to control his anger, he closed the folder to hide the document and got up from his seat to pour a glass of cold water for him.

When Xiu Mei entered inside, she found Feng Jianyu standing near the table facing the other direction.

Looking at his back she asked, "CEO Feng, I'm feeling hungry, you mind if I order lunch a little early?"

"No… suit yourself", to hide his bloodshot eyes from her, he answered in a hoarse voice without turning back.

"Thanks…" she happily replied. "Zest, tell Uncle Tom to serve our lunch in the patio".

Sitting down on the couch she opened her laptop and was about to start working on it again when she noticed Feng Jianyu was still standing near the table."CEO Feng is everything ok? Do you want something? May I help you?"

He forced himself to answer her question, "No… I'm brewing white tea for me, you want to have some?"

Surprised by his chivalry, she asked once again to confirm if she heard it right. "CEO Feng, did you just asked me for a cup of white tea?"

"Yes or no?", not in a mood to play with her, he asked indifferently.

"Yes… definitely…Who will reject such an enticing offer to get a cup of tea from the CEO of Feng Corporation.", she playfully teased him.

He smiles self-deprecatingly, 'Just a cup of tea? If you will allow me, I can give you whatever you want… Just give me a chance to prove….'

He brewed two cups of white tea and hands over one to her.

"Thanks, CEO Feng" Taking a cup of tea she praised it, "Hmm! Nice tea… If I'm not wrong it's silver tips white tea, Right?

"Right"

Frowning she asked further, "But I don't have this tea before?"

Taking a sip of tea he answered, "I brought it... It's less caffeinated and healthy". No matter whatever his mood was, he tried to answer all her questions politely.

Xiu Mei's guilty came back, she was feeling herself small in front of him. She has never backed down from showing gratitude to the person who has helped her in any way. But when it comes to him, she is so unwilling…

'I know my past with you is very bad, but you didn't wrong me in present… so I will show my gratitude to you for saving my life and taking care of my people'

Putting down his teacup on the table she turned to him, "CEO Feng I want to say something...."

Looking straight into his eyes, "First of all, Thank you for sending Assistant Jun to inform Uncle Tom and Aunt Mary about my health… I'm glad you didn't consider them as mere servants who are not worthy to know about their master's whereabouts… I am the only family of this couple, if I don't reach home on time they get worried, so thank you for giving peace to their frantic heart and keeping them regularly updated about me."

Feng Jianyu didn't give any response to her, he knew theirs still something left…

After saying all this, she took a sip of her tea to soothe her dry throat. Taking a deep breath she continued, "Secondly, Thank you for saving my life that day… If it was not your sharp reflexes probably I'll be dead by now, laying six feet under the ground. You saved my life despite being injured, my heartfelt gratitude to you for this…" Bringing her right hand over her heart she thanked him sincerely.

He heard her patiently and smiled at how honestly she showed her gratitude to him, not once but twice.

Just a moment ago he was distressed because of her, but getting this earnest response from her he was pleased. His expression softened a bit and an inadvertent smile appeared on his lips…

To plan his next move on her, it was necessary for her to feel gratitude towards him. But he did not expect in his wildest dreams that she will thank him twice. For him, it was an unexpected lottery, and he is going to take full advantage of the situation.

Regarding Mr. X, he is sure that they are not in a relationship. Although she was talking to him in a friendly tone, but never addressed him using words that couple in a relationship normally use. If he was on a trip, then the first thing lovers normally do is to meet each other, but she rejected him. Before hanging up the phone instead of saying I love you or love you, she only said bye. All these factors only point out in one direction, they are not in a relationship.

He was jealous because she never talks to him this cordially.
