Feng Shufen didn't know what happened but a twinkle of determination in Li Xue's amber eyes didn't get unnoticed by him. He saw her making a resolution in her heart. Although he wasn't able to hear it, he could be sure that it was something regarding him.
"What? Why are you looking at me?" Li Xue asked, jutting her brows in curiosity. Even though she liked to watch the ease of expression of her man, she couldn't ignore the stress and shiver she had noticed in Feng Yi Lan.
Her friend needed her for something. She couldn't stay ignorant to it. And for that, she needed to send Feng Shufen first. In his presence, things won't remain comfortable enough to talk about.
"Is there something on my face?" Li Xue asked, raising a questioning brow at Feng Shufen.
Feng Shufen's lips curled in a subtle smile as he shook his head and said, "You are beautiful."
"That you always say to me, Mr. Beelzebub. Right now, I am asking why are you looking at me like that. I said something to you. In response to it, you should have said something to me. Instead you are staring at him. So, I am asking what are you thinking?"
Li Xue asked, trying her best to make her honey trap look normal. But who asked her to think that her plan was flawless enough to trick the Devil? Wasn't she being too overconfident of herself.
Feng Shufen's lips tugged slowly on one corner. Moving his eyes once to read her face, he said, "It was nothing. I just thought about changing my plans for you since I am already back at home."
He said and before Li Xue could actually comprehend the meaning behind his words, he added, "You said you get comfortable sleep only when I am beside you. Since I am already back home, I will accompany you to bed."
He said and Li Xue shook her head. But again before she could speak something regarding his change in plans, Feng Shufen turned to look in the way of his sister and continued, "After all, for me, nothing is more important than my wife's comfortable and needed sleep."
The intention behind his words was clear. When Feng Yi Lan heard him act like that again, she bit her lower lip to show her annoyance. "You …"
She was ready to speak but right at that moment, Li Xue's persona shifted. While she was being all cozy and romantic earlier, she suddenly unwrapped her arms around his neck and took a step back to bring some distance.
"You are cruel, Mr. Beelzebub. I am not going to talk to you. You don't even value my efforts." She said and her words like that paused Feng Yi Lan while bringing Feng Shufen's attention back to her.
"Efforts?" He asked and Li Xue gave him a look as if he had failed to notice how he had mistreated her.
"Of course, efforts. Do you think it's easy for me to pull tricks on you?" Since her facade had already been seen through, she would no longer keep it for her innocence. The straight cut way would turn out to be better - Li Xue thought and stared into the steely pairs of the man.
"You know I never had any best experience of practicing these honey traps before. Yet I came to try it on you. Instead of appreciating my efforts, you are particularly making it difficult for me. If this is not devaluing my efforts, what else is it?"
She said, and Feng Shufen was for once rendered speechless. Li Xue saw through his expression and continued to keep with the act. Puffing her cheeks a bit, she folded her arms over her chest and said, "If things continue like this, I may have yo find a subject to practice. At that time, don't come and complain to me."
She said, knowing well how her words would change the whole air of the room. And her knowledge wasn't proven wrong because the very next moment, she saw the man's fingers clenching into fists.
While others would have trembled, Li Xue wanted to laugh out loud. Just how fickle was the man's confidence? Even after getting all love assurance and promises from her, he still get perturbed by the mention of other men in her life.
Does he really think she would get poached by a gold block when she has gotten the most valuable exquisite diamond in her life?
Li Xue couldn't help but shake her head. But in her heart, the expression of possessiveness on the face of Feng Shufen only made her proud. His such response only further signified her importance and value in his life.
Controlling the smile to creep on her lips, she looked straight in the eyes of the Feng Shufen and asked again, "What? Did I say anything wrong?"
Feng Shufen stared at her for a moment in silence and after a while spoke, "Wait for me. Completing the work at the company, I will soon be back to help you in bed. "
He said, tucking his hands inside the pockets and then giving a sullen look.
Li Xue really wanted to pinch his cheeks to show her adoration towards his sullen face, but she held back her urge to not ruin it. Instead, shrugging her shoulders, she said, "Fine, I have always been a good wife to wait for you back at home. I will do it today as well. You go and complete your work."
She said before stepping forward to press a small kiss on his cheeks which seemed like complimentary. It was to ease the sullen-ness but it further seemed to trigger it.
Kissing him, Li Xue was about to step back when she felt a strong wrap around her waist that made her remain close to Feng Shufen. Her stomach rumbled inside and soon she felt it clench with anticipation. While her breath hitched, she felt her heart thump inside her chest.
Proximity like this was not something that caused such a reaction from her, it was the suddenness that made her anticipate the wild things in her mind. Maybe it was because of the hormonal changes she was feeling because of the pregnancy. She has grown too sensitive to such sensitive touches.
"M-Mr. Beelzebub, you should …"
Before she could ask, the man's voice rang softly but feathery in her ears, "Dear wife, don't ask me how your efforts affect me. I fear that you might not be able to handle it in your present state."
