Li Xue didn't know why she still held this shyness in such situations with him. But she still couldn't control the flutter of her heart whenever they close their proximity. The goosebumps of excitement that she felt on his closeness was incomparable to any feeling she has felt until now.
"Shufen, I ..." Li Xue's spoke up when her breathing turned a little heavy. But as if the beast in Shufen was not yet satisfied, he went for another round of sensual kisses.
With the passion in between them, they enjoyed the moment. And just when it would have increased to another level and Shufen would have lost control, he pulled away. His eyes red with all the desire he was trying to contain
Li Xue didn't understand his action for a moment. But the moment her blinking eyes noticed the gaze that he was trying to avert, she understood the reason. Easing her pacing breath, she also turned away and said, "Y-You don't have to demonstrate your point every time. After knowing you for this long, I know which all of your words I should believe and which to ignore."
Then looking up at him, she pouted to complain, "Before showing your such devilish skills you should at least note your level self-control. You know that at this month of time, I shouldn't engage in such exhaustive actions yet ..."
Before she could complete her complaints, Feng Shufen once again came close to her. In response to his closeness once again, she closed her eyes. She lifted her head and waited for his touch again on her lips for even after waiting for quite a while when it didn't come, her brows furrowed and she was about to open her eyes to check what was going on.
But just when she would have, she felt his warm breath on her face. Before she could understand his intention, she felt his lips on her forehead - all warm and caring.
"Some urgent work cropped up at the company that needs me to be physically present there. I will go and come back soon." He said as he pulled back and hooked her chin up to stare at her. "Until then stay good at home. Don't play around with Yi Lan when comes here later."
Li Xue was about to say something but then she paused and raised her brows at the later part of his sentence. "Yi Lan is coming here?"
Feng Shufen didn't reply to her, rather turned around and walked to get back his laptop. Li Xue's lips turned up in a teasing smile as she got up from the sofa and walked behind him, asking again, "Mr. Beelzebub, did you invite her?"
In all these months, after Yi Lan's wedding, Feng Shufen has not for once allowed Yi Lan here at the forest house. And at times when Yi Lan had come here on her own, he had made sure that to personally keep an eye on her.
And if today he has himself called her here to accompany Li Xue, that only explains his anxiousness over Li Xue's situation.
Feng Shufen's expressions hardened. Pressing his lips, he turned and looked at her. "Since I won't be around, you might get bored. So, I am ready to accept her here for today. But you should not act on her influence. Just stay put and rest."
Li Xue pursed her lips at his words. "What do you think of Yi Lan? She is your sister, Mr. Beelzebub and also don't forget that she, herself is pregnant. You are making her sound like some naughty kid who would not sit at a place and just be a tornado roaming around."
Feng Shufen didn't speak another word about it anymore but from his poker face anyone could say that he was not rejecting the words of Li Xue, rather was agreeing with her.
Even Li Xue understood his silence. But there was nothing she could say more about it. Simply shaking her head, she took a step to draw close to him. But just as she thought she could go more close to him, her stomach got in between, making her realize of her special condition.
Looking down at her bloated ball of happiness, she shook her head and then instead of drawing close, she raised her hands to wrap them around his neck, tugging him down to her. "Soon this will be gone and then I will be able cajole you properly. Until then, stay satisfied with this."
She said and then slightly tip-toed to give a small kiss on the side of his chin. Then putting a small smile, she continued, "Go and focus on your work. Since you are ready to leave me alone back at home, it only means that the work must be really important. Otherwise, you would have easily done the job at home and delegated the rest to Mr. Secretary."
Feng Shufen's brows jutted together. She was right. For a few months he has not gone to the office and a few clients were up to take advantage of it. He was easy before thinking to work on it later, but things have gotten into extreme recently. To terminate the threats, he needs to get there and solve it today itself.
But solving it would never mean that he would go easy on those people. Because of them he has to leave Li Xue back alone at home. He will make sure that those people blame themselves for their losses and would nave get over it.
"It's nothing serious, just some trivial things. Don't worry. I will be done with it soon and be back to you."
He said, and Li Xue couldn't help but smile at it. Trivial! If something trivial was requiring Feng Shufen then the meaning of trivial would change in every kind of dictionary. But since he doesn't want her to worry, she would not.
? Tugging the corner of her lips, she smiled and nodded to his assurance. "I know your capabilities and would never doubt them. So, who said that I am worrying? Go and deal with it. I will be waiting for you at home." she said before gesturing him towards the door.
