Chapter 118 - It's nothing, sweetheart!!
Zheng Wenting was really feeling humiliated after those blatant words of Li Xue. His ego was hurt. Born and brought up with such egoistic temperament, he lost his sense of rationality only at the few words of Li Xue. Getting provoked, he did not care that the past he was bringing up will never bring any fortune or praises to him, rather will only make people judge him at different parameters.
He wanted to look down and retaliate for the insult the woman has given him, by calling her the desperate one after him. He wanted to let people know that she was still unable to move on in her life but little did he expect that all his efforts will bring him nothing.
Just as he had finished his words a deep, smooth voice from behind the woman, resounded on the speaker. "Xiao Xue, is there any problem?" The people on the other side of the intercom could not see the people inside the house. They could only hear the voice and the way the man has referred the woman, utmost love and care were evident in it.
A desire to see the person instantly rose in the people's heart. Even the woman in the scene Li Xue was surprised. She has not expected something like this to come, especially the way her name sounded in his voice. It felt like she had been tossed tenderly onto a soft, stuffed cloud of some dream fantasy world.
Her lips opened and closed trying her best to think, what she should say? Mr Beelzebub, now what new trapping plans are you up with? She has long forgotten that the intercom was still on and people on the other side were still waiting to hear her words.
"Mr Pre …", she was about to voice out her words when suddenly Feng Shufen's long slender fingers hushed her to silence. Coming close to her ears, he whispered, "Don't ruin it yet. We have just started and your jerk friend is still on the other side". His melodic voice hitting her ears warmly, giving a tingly feeling to her.
After getting his words clear to her knowledge, Li Xue realized the reasons behind her Mr Beelzebub words. Though her doubts were being cleared still at some corner of her heart, she felt a thin layer of disappointment surfacing. Disappointment that everything had a reason behind.
But wasn't this something she wanted herself then why was she now getting discontented with those pretext of his actions.
"Oh, sorry I was too confused to know that", she said, looking at the man who was now a little too close to her. "So what should I do now?" she asked, hesitantly looking at the space between them.
"Call me by my name or give me some sweet name that can let people outside know how close we are in our relationship", Feng Shufen said, eyeing her understandingly, with no expression of astute on his face. His eyes were making her believe that this was the only way of benefit.
"What name? I can only come up with Mr President or President Feng, but I can't call you with that name here as it can … no, no, those addressing names are not suitable for you in this situation. Help me think of a name then", she said in a whisper, getting a little anxious and confused.
Feng Shufen looked at her. His lips curling up, seeing her getting so engrossed at such a trivial matter. "Why are you getting so anxious over a simple name for me? Call me anything" he said, giving a low chuckle of amus.e.m.e.nt.
Li Xue widened her eyes in surprise. "Call you anything? How can I? To give you a name, I have to do some justification for your charms, aura and personality. I can't give a name to you simply" she said. Her words came out so seriously that it would convince anyone to believe it as it was some universally accepted process.
"What about Mr Beelzebub then? Is that name so compatible with my personality and charms?" he asked, pinching her chin lightly to make her look at his face and answer him. The woman's face instantly got red.
She shook her head in denial. "Not at all! Who can call you that? Haha … Beelzebub, that sounds like a Devil. How can that name suit you? Absolutely not! You are such an angel figure for Li Wei, there is no way 'Devil' suits you". Li Xue denied, feigning all innocence on her face.
Her expressions at this moment were something that made the devil's heart instantly go weak and soft. Looking at her so close and so adorable was something that can make him feel his heart beating fast.
"Oh, I know what I have to say now. Mr Beelze … sorry I mean Mr President, please provide back-up when needed" she said and then turning on her heels went back to look into the intercom tablet.
She paused to take a deep breath and then going back to her original pitch she said, "It's nothing, sweetheart! Wait for me I will be back soon". Her voice was heard by everyone as it was intended.
"Sorry for the delay, Mr Guard and also thank you for asking before permitting anyone inside. Because of your sincere efforts and vigilance, we are comfortable safe in this place. Right now, I am in no mood to entertain any guest at my place. So you can just ignore anyone's request under my name. I will send you my visiting guest list soon", she said and then disconnected the call on the intercom
Zheng Wenting felt like a hard punch was sent to his face directly. Here he was trying to get back his reputation saying that Li Xue was unable to move on from him. But that voice of the man from behind was enough to let anyone know who was on the desperate end. Someone was at her place this early morning! What else can be the reason behind? Of course, everything was very obvious to people's eyes.
He didn't wait for any other second to heighten his humiliation. Turning back to his own, he left with his best speed, clenching his hands tight at his sides and jaws clenched in anger. He has never thought that Li Xue will really not give him any face. Inside his heart, he was feeling disheartened but at this moment the rogue waves of anger were flaring inside his heart, suppressing the commiseration he was feeling for himself.
