Due to the uncomplete sleep although Li Xue wasn't able to tell at first, after judging the situation for a few more seconds and Feng Shufen's expressions for a while she could vaguely tell the context of the happening.
After all, predicting Feng Yi Lan was not too hard for her.
Pursing her lips at the brother-sister pair, she shook her head internally before patting Feng Yi Lan's back in assurance. "You have done enough drama, Yi Lan. If you really want me to save you from your brother, give me a breather. You are clearly suffocating me with your hug."
She whispered and Feng Yi Lan coughed before pulling herself away from her. But even though she was assured by Li Xue, Feng Yi Lan still didn't turn quickly to look back at her brother.
Her heart was still thumping ferociously inside her chest. It needed some time to get back to normal. So, she took her time and held onto Li Xue's arms, she walked to stand behind her, keeping her as her shield.
After all, she can't be sure of her brother. She had triggered him enough to provide him with the strong reason to put her onto the deathbed right then and there.
"Mr. Beelzebub, you came back early today." Li Xue suddenly said check the time on the clock, while feigning complete lack of knowledge regarding what was happening around. "It's just early afternoon at the moment. How come? Have you forgotten something back at home?"
"You should have given me a call, darling. I would have asked Sister Margaret to help me send it to you through someone. Your time is precious. You shouldn't waste it." She said as she removed Feng Yi Lan's arm hook from her arm and walked forward to wrap her arms around the man's neck all romantically.
Sister Margaret understood the cue and silently bowing her head in politeness, she left, gesturing the same to the attendants around.
But Feng Yi Lan didn't have this opportunity, nor did she want it. She was here for Li Xue and had plans to wait for her. It was just that she couldn't understand what this sudden PDA was for?
But contrary to her, Feng Shufen could clearly read the plans in the mind of Li Xue. He couldn't believe that the woman would be courageous enough to pull the honey trap on him. That too at the moment when she could clearly see the darkness in his gaze.
He never exaggerated but he knew people lose it all when he gets on with such expression and face. But here this woman was standing with such ease as if she couldn't see him glooming over.
"Hmm?" Li Xue further probed sweetly when she saw him simply staring at her. Her eyes blinked and she closed up with him more to show her intimacy. Her fingers moved slowly to rub one of his ears while keeping him still between her arms.
When she was like this, how can Feng Shufen stay focused on his risen temper. She was his remedy. Remedy for everything!
His expressions changed and soon the darkness dissipated from his eyes. Staring at her fair, petite face, he slowly moved his fingers to brush away the hair behind her ears.
"It's still the afternoon. You needed to sleep. I came back to remove the unnecessary flies from the house. But seems like I wasn't efficient enough to do so." Feng Shufen said as his eyes turned to let the person know about whom he was talking there.
When Feng Yi Lan heard him and felt his gaze, she slightly shifted in her position and coughed. "I am not the fly you can remove. Furthermore, how illogical! If I had really been a fly, do you think I would have been able to talk to you and Li Xue. Definitely not, I would have been playing with my wings instead."
She said even though she knew she proved herself to be a joker while saying that. But then again, does she care? Not at this point when she could easily become a prey of his brother. She simply wanted to shut herself out from the danger zone that she has created for herself earlier.
When Li Xue heard her friend, she couldn't be sure whether to laugh or cry. She shook her head internally at her before looking at Feng Shufen, whose eyes were sending daggers to Feng Yi Lan.
Reaching out, she moved his face by his chin and asked all coquettishly, "Were you worried for me?"
Feng Shufen didn't reply. His face looked hard as if he was trying his best to not lose it. Li Xue understood his trouble and quickly tiptoed to place a kiss on his cheeks.
"It's alright. You don't have to worry so much. I am fine and also I will get some sleep. For my good sleep, it's not the peaceful environment that's required. It's you. You and your love and security is what I require to get sleep. As long as you come back home completing your work at the company, I will get a cozy rest in your arms."
Li Xue said with a smile and continued, "So, don't delay my schedule by just coming back and forth like this. Go and complete your work and then return. I will be waiting for you eagerly. Okay?"
Her words held such sweetness that Feng Shufen could never refute.
People loved each other and they know in their heart that they do. But even if they knew it, it's timely needed to be expressed. They should come to know the importance and position they hold in each other's life. As long as they are aware of it, no insecurity could waive their relationship.
In the past, Li Xue wasn't too good at expressing it. But after the accident. She came to realize how important it was to express. If only she has expressed it properly to Feng Shufen, maybe he would have understood how incomplete she would become without him.
And maybe then, he wouldn't have gotten second thoughts of keeping her in the darkness regarding the scares he held in his heart.
So, this time along with him, she would make sure that things don't get repeated in the future. It was not just his responsibility to take care. She shares the same responsibility in their relationship.
