The next morning, Li Xue was still in her sleep when suddenly in her vague sleepiness, she heard Feng Shufen's voice.
"Yeah, make that happen. I want him to particularly design the dress for her. Gao Fan will send you the details."
After that Feng Shufen's voice got silent. Li Xue's brows scrunched as if she was waiting to hear him say more but at the same time, she knew that he might not speak anymore. Feeling disappointed from not being able to speak any longer, her brows furrowed deeper and she slowly opened her eyes.
While the brightness from the sun didn't surprise her, she darted her eyes around the room to find his figure. But she couldn't find him anywhere. Feeling absurd, she was ready to believe having a dream when suddenly Feng Shufen's voice startled her.
"Are you looking for something?"
Li Xue was still in the sleep but the moment she heard him, her eyes opened with surprise and she turned to look in the direction of the source.
Finding him, looking all fresh, her brows raised. Supporting herself with her arms, she got up to sit on the bed. "Why did you wake up so early?"
Feng Shufen shrugged and then slightly gestured towards his phone. "Had a few calls to make. How are you feeling now? Are you uncomfortable anywhere?"
Li Xue didn't understand the reason for his question but still she shook her head. "I am perfectly fine. Just will get up and get ready for the day now."
Saying that she was ready to get out of the duvet when suddenly her eyes caught the sight of a magazine kept on the side of Feng Shufen.
At first it was amusement that came on her expressions but then she couldn't help but laugh. "I never expected you to read books on pregnancy, Mr. Beelzebub. What else are you going to surprise me with? Let me guess. You must not have read just this but also random blogs on the internet and to the worst extent books related to gynecologists?"
She said and was waiting to hear him say that she was exaggerating it. But even after minutes, nothing came and that's when her laughter paused.
"Hey, are you serious? Did you really read all that?"
Feng Shufen stared at her and shrugged. "This is my first time becoming a father."
"So? Mr. Beelzebub, every man becomes father for the first time at least once in his life. Do you think all of them go and read things like this?" Li Xue chided softly but it felt like it had no effect on the man.
Feng Shufen simply kept his eyes on her and justified. "I am not like other. I need to know the rights and wrongs before it happens. Furthermore, I won't be able to make it again if something happens to you and I am not there for you."
Although his words sounded simple, Li Xue could already feel that he has not gotten over it. Staring at him, she pursed her lips before getting down the bed.
Walking to the couch he was sitting on, she sat beside him before taking his hands into hers to say, "I know your concern but believe me, being pregnant is not that tough. Especially when it's my second time. Even though the doctor has previously said that there can complications if I get pregnant. But believe me, it won't be anything like that. I have carried WeiWei before, that too alone. It definitely won't be tough for me."
She said but the seriousness on the face of Feng Shufen didn't melt. His gaze simply remained on her as he spoke with a straight face.
"Last time, I might not have been there. But this time, I won't let you carry all of it alone." He said, and Li Xue didn't know whether she should laugh or cry.
"So how are you planning to carry it?" She asked.
And Feng Shufen opened his mouth to speak but then closed it realizing that there was no answer he could give for it.
When Li Xue saw the blankness on his expression, she shook her head at him and said in a rather deep tone. "Mr. Beelzebub, it's not that hard to accept. It's have been in our living autonomy always. It's women who carries a baby. Men can only help them in conceiving it and later taking care of it. Otherwise, this pain and burden of pregnancy is not something that can be shared."
She said and waited to see if now was he on the same page with her. But she was very pleasantly disappointed when heard him speak next with more determination.
"I will share the pain with you as well." Feng Shufen said and Li Xue could no longer say more. Especially when her own confidence felt like wavering in front of his determination.
"Fine let me see when you do it." She said and was ready to get up when suddenly she paused and sat back to ask, "Hey, you talk about sharing my pain, yet you are giving one to me. Don't you fell that's very hypocrite of you?"
Feng Shufen raised his brows of confusion at her and she further pursed her lips before saying, "You know nothing pains a woman more than not looking the best in her own wedding. And you are here desperately planning the wedding at the time when I won't be at my finest."
She pouted, remembering what she heard yesterday from Qi Shuai and also in her half sleep state.
But as if the answer to her complaint was too simple, Feng Shufen replied with ease, "You don't have to look your best. You are beautiful at every second of life."
Li Xue's heart skipped for a moment; any woman's heart would have done so. But then composing herself out with a cough, she said, "*Ahem* Don't deviate me from the topic. Just tell me what you are planning? When did you plan it all?"
