Last night when Feng Yi Lan had told her that she was deliberately sent overseas by her brother, she only got a little suspicious about it. Never in her reality, she thought that her suspicions would be coming true the next day. And what she finds the weirdest is that Mr Beelzebub was showing no hesitation in accepting it.
"You … are you saying that you knew it?" She asked, not knowing what next she should say. She has thought that he would deny her words and then she would present her facts and findings in front of him. But she was accepting everything in just three words, 'I knew it'.
Feng Shufen looked at her and nodded to her words again, "Yes Ms. Li Xue, I said I knew it from the beginning that you were my sister's best friend. Is that the only thing you wanted to ask me? If yes, then great because I also have things to ask from you"
Things to ask from her! Of course, she knew what things he would have to ask.
"Who said I don't have things to ask from you? You are so mysterious that without asking you I won't know you any better. So there are still many things left. Let me clear them out first", she said, intentionally not giving any chance for him to speak.
The man also knew her thoughts very well but he decided to play along with her. It's fun to tease her. "Please proceed! Don't worry I have ample time to clear your thoughts and doubts", He said and then walked past her to take his leisure seat on the couch, gesturing to her to come along too.
Li Xue looked at his back and followed after him, taking her seat on a single-seater couch so that a good distance is maintained between them. "President Feng, can you tell me why you did not reveal it first? That you knew that Feng Yi Lan is my friend. Were this promotion and opportunity given to me because of her favouritism for me?"
She asked knowing that her questions were completely absurd and baseless, and her promotion had nothing to do with Yi Lan. But she has to buy enough time so in the end, she could present an excuse to leave the office, saying that she was just hindering his office work.
"What do you think? I know you are not the person to use other's names to build your own castle. So do you really think I will dare to offend you by doing something like that?" Feng Shufen said, raising his brows slightly at her. His eyes were childishly accusing her of thinking something like that about him.
The woman looked at him and felt that even if it feels like she was the dominant one in the conversation still she was finding herself at the losing point.
"Then? Why didn't you tell me before? I mean if you have known it then; me, being so secretive in front of you did not result in any meaning", she said, looking at her wristwatch to know the time.
"It wasn't needed. Would that have brought any change in your decision?" he asked, looking at her with expectations but Li Xue was confused at his words.
"My decision?" she asked.
Feng Shufen nodded in agreement, "Yes the decision of honouring me with the title of your fiancée". His words instantly made her choke on her breath. This was the thing that was missing from the drama. This man will never leave an opportunity to give her a deadly attack in his own mysterious form.
Giving a last glance at her watch, Li Xue stood up from her seat with a slightly apologetic expression on her face. "I am really sorry President Feng. I lost the track of the time here. My useless questions wasted your precious work time. I am so sorry. Since I have realized my mistake I won't hinder your work anymore and take a quick leave. Thanks for looking after me"
Saying her words, she quickly gave a slight bow forward and then started taking her step towards the exit; praying inside that she can successfully get out of the office.
Feng Shufen looked at her retreating silhouette and his lips formed an upward arc. "Ms Li Xue, I think you are forgetting something"
His sudden expected words made the woman halt in her steps. She stopped but did not turn to look back. She closed her eyes and bit her lips lightly. 'Ah, this Mr Beelzebub!'
She could feel the man's deep footsteps coming towards her. She felt like the prey who had been trapped in a predator's trap. Soon she could feel the man just behind her when his rough hands came to her and grabbed her arms gently.
Then turning her around to face him, he said "You have left your face mask behind. Didn't you fear that someone might see you visiting me here?" He said, looking at her lidded eyes that were perfectly enhancing the beauty of her long eyelashes.
Like before, he lifted the face mask again to her face and helped her tug it onto her face, stroking away the stray hairs behind her ears.
"You don't have to panic. I can see through your hesitation. If you don't want to share your problems yet with me, that's alright I won't provoke you to share but I won't want you to stress yourself with any trivial thing either. You can always come and share your words and stories with me, if not like my girlfriend then at least come to me as a friend", His words came out soft and assuring making her heart filled with unknown warmth and pleasure.
Unconsciously her eyes opened and her face nodded in agreement. At that moment of time, a change happened for sure. The change made her heartbreak the thin strings of restraints she was holding inside her from the moment this man has shown his interest in her. Her eyes locked with his, giving him the surety he wanted from her.
