Chapter 132 - Let things unfold in its own happy pace.
Though it felt a bit sadistic Feng Shufen felt a wave of contentment washing over his heart when caught the hints of panic in Li Xue's voice. That was confirmation of certain hope within him. "Hmm?" he asked her to continue her words, letting her know that the call connection was still not disconnected and he was still waiting for her to continue.
"Yes, I will say. Ummm …" Li Xue did not know if there was something she really wanted to ask him because when she has said those words she has not thought of anything. At that time she just wanted to hold him back on the call.
"Ummm … I need to ask you … ask you about … about the doctor. Yes, exactly! About the doctor. I needed his contact number. Actually, after you left I wasn't feeling right, so I thought that it would be better if I can go and see him once", she made whatever excuse her mind thought of, without giving any proper thought to it.
But those words do make extreme changes on the other end. Feng Shufen face darkened once again. Earlier, Sister Margaret has called him to ask if he can provide a day leave for her. But being in the influence of her morning temperament, he simply said, 'Let her decide it on her own'.
"Why did you go for work when you weren't feeling good?" he said in a slightly irritated tone. But that irritation was definitely not for her rather for himself. He blamed himself for not taking proper care of her.
"I … Are you still mad at me? Did I disturb your work? Sorry, I will talk to you lat…" Li Xue can hear the suppressed anger in his tone, but just as before she again took the reasons behind that anger wrongly. She thought that maybe she was causing him disturbance, that's why he was getting mad at her. Same as it happened with Zheng Wenting back when they were in a relationship.
Sensing her again jumping with her own assumptions, Feng Shufen closed his eyes to suppress the disappointment. "Wait for me. I will come and take you to the doctor", his words came. The tone was deep, suppressed and a little painful. Saying that he stood to leave, signalling Gao Fan with his finger to wrap the meeting up with proper words.
Seeing his sudden departure, the group of employees that were sitting around the table also stood up to show their respects. Inside they were leaping and jumping with joy, celebrating their survival. But all their inner celebrations froze when suddenly saw the man halting his steps in the mid.
"Huh? No, no, you don't have to come. I am all fine right now. I was only asking for the contact details. There is nothing serious. Furthermore, it's my first day and I can't ask leave today itself" she said in a hurried tone, not knowing why suddenly he was becoming so extreme. Leaving his meeting behind just to accompany her to the doctor was something really extreme. Something that she has only heard and seen the novel and dramas.
Feeling his such sincere concern for her, she could not help but feel touched once again.
"You don't have to think about the work. You have already done a day extra at Feng Internationals before joining. So we can take that up as makeup for today. And above all, at Feng Internationals there is always proper health leaves for employees. So you don't have to stress over a simple leave", he said. All his words shot out in one string, leaving the people at the back once again stunned.
Li Xue really felt guilty. She never thought that her simple excuse could make him so much concerned. Biting her lips lightly, she said: "I am sorry. I am all fine and what I said to you was just an excuse to hold you back on the call. I thought that you were still mad at me. That's why I built up that excuse". She confessed her words guiltily, not thinking how kiddish her words sounded.
But those words were enough to stuff the man heart with warmth and softness. To him, her actions at this moment were just too adorable. A peal of low rumbling laughter rang in the room, making it go in a weird silence. The people behind felt the floor shaking. Every eye turned to look in the direction of Qi Shuai, the only person that can give them the true picture of the story now.
Getting so many gazes at once, Qi Shuai shrugged his shoulder in innocence. "Don't look at me like that. I am also as shocked as you all are" he said feigning all innocence with nonchalance. But the people around were still suspicious about his innocence.
"Are you really fine?" Feng Shufen asked softly. His voice was no more stiff and stern to the woman's ears. Seeing him getting back to the normal side, Li Xue felt relieved. She nodded her head obediently, humming in her reply. "Hmm … I am fine. I don't need a doctor at this moment".
Her voice sounding much better and relaxed than before. Not only her voice but her heart that has been anxious from the beginning was now feeling relieved. She has got so engrossed with that serene calmness inside her that she failed to almost hear the approaching footsteps from behind.
"Okay, then I will come and pick you up in the second half of the day. We can go and get Li Wei up" Feng Shufen said and then waited to hear her confirmation. Li Xue smiled and was about to agree with her words when suddenly the voice from behind interrupted the two people on the call.
"My dear Xena!"
It was Chen Yujian who has come from behind, after completing the job Li Xue has appointed to him. He waved the booklet in his hand, showing her that he has completed the work she has asked for.
On the other side, Feng Shufen heard the familiar voice of which he was not sure of. His brows wrinkled slightly but at the end, he waited for the things to unfold on its own happy pace.
