Chapter 283 - Oblivious of your beautiful existence in this world.
Li Xue was really stunned by hearing his words. Was he upset with her because of this? This man … Here she was fearing that her words from before might have hurt him and that's why he was upset with her and was ignoring her. But all this while it was her who was just thinking too much about it when the man was all so nonchalant to it
Suddenly the thought of itself made her feel exhausted. She has really tired herself thinking why did she even say something like that to him. But all this while she was just … overthinking about it. This man was truly a Devil.
She huffed and puffed inside. Her nose, slightly getting flared every time she took a forceful breath in and then exhaled it out. "You're sure a bully. I am not going to talk to you anymore", she puffed her words out and then pushing him lightly, she tried to get up. But that was just a sham. She knew that the man would not be letting her go anywhere.
And she was right. The man's arms did not budge. It remained around her the way it was. Suppressing the smile of her, she turned her head to match his eyes, "What now? I already said I am …"
"Li Xue, you don't want to marry me?" Feng Shufen said, cutting her word before she could even complete it. His eyes could not be any more serious than what it was right at that moment.
Li Xue was stunned with firmness in his eyes. Something pierced her soul lightly, stating that this has never been her objective in the first place. Silence took its casual place around them, letting the air know that the conversation was no longer a playful one rather has turned to become something really serious.
"Mr Beelzebub, we were just playing, right? I never thought …"
"Nope, I am serious. I really want to know. Am I not capable enough to marry you?" he repeated his words for her confirmation. Though in the morning all of it started with a tease but marrying her has always been in his plans. Earlier when she rejected the idea, he truly felt his confidence sinking.
He has never thought that one day he would become so doubtful about his capabilities. Lack of confidence has never been his forte. But as he had said earlier that this woman brings the worst of him.
Not capable enough! Li Xue was speechless. She really needs to know exactly how his brain works to think something like that?
"You … Who in the world has the ability to take you as an incapable one, President Feng? Can there be anyone more capable than you?" she said, not knowing what else she could say to the man.
But at her words, his eyes only grew darker. His sigh of disappointment was faint but there definitely was one. "I am not asking my capabilities as the President of Feng International. I am asking you about my capabilities as your husband."
The question almost scared Li Xue off. "Are you trying to make me praise you, Mr Beelzebub? Don't you know that every woman of this country has a dream wish to have you as their husband? What else do you think?"
Feng Shufen turned his head to the other side as if he was giving some thought to her words. Putting his arms upon the sidearm of the sofa, he held his chin in his hand. "All other women have a dream wish to marry me so do you also have a wish like that?"
Is this man trying to trap her again? She knew the answer already but she no longer cared for it. Maybe because she already knew that she has got no escape to run off or maybe she no longer wants to run off!
So maintaining her eyes at him, she nodded. "I won't lie but yes, at some point of time I too got that wish in my bucket list but then …" Li Xue paused, not knowing whether she should continue her words or just leave it incomplete. But before she could even decide the for or against of it the man demanded from the side.
"But then …?"
Is he really demanding me to continue? Won't that turn out to be weird? No woman ever prefers to do this then how can she be so nonchalant in bringing her ex in front of her present. That would simply be not acceptable to anyone. No man would be tolerant enough to hear his girlfriend mention the topic of his ex-boyfriend.
Shaking her head, she denied to respond but the man was no less stubborn when things come to her.
Lifting her chin up to look into her eyes, he wordlessly asked her to complete her words. The gaze he was giving to her was making her weak to give in to his demands.
Does this man have some magic spell in his eyes that every time she looks into it, she seems to lose all her reasons of rationality? She thought internally.
"But then Zheng Wenting happened in my life and I became a useless blind bird in love. I took my attraction for you as an infatuation which was no less than a dream, doomed to remain unfulfilled". She said and as expected by her beforehand, the air around changed.
Feng Shufen's eyes got closed lightly. It was out of guilt or disappointment, she was not sure. His hold around her waist also got loosened. Was this cue to get off his lap? She was confused.
Li Xue remained in the position for quite some moment but then when the air didn't seem to get any better, she finally took the decision to take the hint and get back to the things she was here for.
But the moment she thought of it, she was proved wrong. The loosened arms around again took her into it all carefully and delicately, letting her feel that she was still the treasure he was willing to cherish all his life.
Her eyes turned to look at him, all decided to ask him the reasons. Reasons about something that she, herself, did not know.?But before she could decide, the man replied to all her questions in just a single sentence.
"I am sorry for being so oblivious of your beautiful existence in this world!"
