829: It was simple.

It was simple.

"Madam, there was a brocade box in the car which seemed a little …" The driver came to inform in a hurry. Just with his tone, it could be said that he seemed suspicious of the thing.  2

Li Xue turned around to look at him along with Sister Margaret. Her gaze getting lowered to see the brocade box mentioned earlier. "Ah, you don't have to fear that. Bring it here. It's a gift from one of my friends. Last time, I didn't get time to check it". She said as she forwarded one hand at the front to gesture to the driver to bring it in while the other went to gently scratch the edge of her brows. 

She did forget about that box from the last day and if not been reminded today, she may not have remembered it as well. 

When saw the driver coming in, Sister Margaret walked to him to take the box in her hand before bringing it to Li Xue. 

"Who is that from?" At this moment, Feng Shufen's voice came from behind, and Li Xue got a little alert in her words and movements. 

She turned to look at him as her eyes trailed him walking to take his seat at one of the sofas. Reverting her gaze back at the old lady, she gestured to her to proceed with her work before sending off the driver as well. 

When left alone with the man, she smiled, shaking the brocade box a little in her hand. "Ahh, this was sent by Wei Jin". She said, only to find the man snapping his eyes at once at her with raised brows. 

Seeing him like that, Li Xue panicked. Taking a deep breath in, she quickly explained all in one breath as if there would be no second chance. "It was delivered on the day of the Fashion show and I have no idea of it. Only after I received the message and call from him that I came to know that he was the sender. Furthermore, after that neither I had time to open it to look, nor I remembered its presence in the car. It's only now that it was brought to me, I remembered it". 

She said and Feng Shufen continued staring at her for some time before nodding and looking away, without saying a word. His hands reached to get the news magazine from the side to read it silently. 

His kind of nonchalant attitude confused Li Xue, who stood at her place, looking at him dumbfoundedly. She was sure he had seen her anxiousness but then if he had seen her … what was with his silent attitude?

Was he upset over it? 

Li Xue gave out a deep breath when realized the possibility of that. Shaking her head at her own ignorant self she at once put the brocade box aside as it was nothing to her before walking up to the man. Squatting down in front of him, she blinked her eyes before asking in a puppy tone that clearly sought attention. 

"Mr. Beelzebub, are you mad at me? Over that small gift?" 

Feng Shufen didn't look at her but shook his head. And his action only made the woman pout her lips more.

"Really?" 

He repeated his gesture again. Nodding to her words, without giving any words in reply, nor looking at her. 

"How can that be? You are clearly upset. You are neither looking at me, nor replying to me". She said, puffing her cheeks before asking once again, "Mr. Beelzebub, tell me. Are you mad at me?" 

Feng Shufen again shook his head, and it almost took Li Xue's every nerve to hold herself back. Taking a deep breath in to calm her insides down, she closed her eyes before re-opening them to look at the man who was still sitting with his poker face. 

"You are not upset?" She asked again. This time her tone no longer imitated the puppy seeking attention rather warning for something rash to come next. Her hands began to lift the man's chin, only to make him look into her eyes, threateningly asking yet again before taking away the news magazine from his hand, "Are you mad at me?" 

Feng Shufen stared at her. His expressions were still the same. If it had been someone else in place of him then definitely he would have been nervous given to the tempestuously threatening look but since it was Feng Shufen himself, he was the perfect match for the lady. Capable of taking everything that she had to offer. 

He shook his head yet again, this time looking into her eyes. 

Li Xue nodded, before getting up and getting directly over his lap. Her eyes not missing the flash of darkness across the greys of the man. "I have thought to make it up to you if you have been mad at me. But since you are not, I don't guess there is any need for it now. I will just reward you a little for being so understanding before taking my leave". She said, without lacking confidence, dipping down to sensually peck the corner of his lips. 

A little longer than a comfortable limit. "There. Thank you for being so understanding to me." She said, pulling back leaving the man with the urge for more. Her lips holding a smirk of knowledge that was teasingly telling the man about her thoughts and plans. 

She said and was ready to get up and walk off, but just before she could, a tug over her waist brought her back to the place, making her look back at the man. There was no surprise in the air, which only meant one thing – the woman had long seen this coming and was also prepared for it. 

"How were you planning to make up for it, if I had been mad at you?" Feng Shufen asked and at his question, Li Xue only gave a known smile, before leaning down to press her lips near his ears to whisper. "It was simple. How could you not guess?"
