Chapter 414 - Soft feather of familiarity in her aura.
The black Maybach was speeding its way away and away from the outskirts of the city. Inside it, the man was sitting, still keeping the woman all close in his arms as if feared that if moved her away from himself, the calmness on her face would be disturbed. And his thoughts were not wrong. Li Xue was truly having the best sleep of her life, without any nightmares. Feeling all soft and secured with him by her side.
Though his steely eyes still held the cold darkness, the warmth with which he had been looking at the woman in his arms could not be missed either.
"President Feng, the plane is ready at our base. If taken off now we will reach Florida in the next 0.07 hours" Gao Fan reported as his eyes alertly stared at the darkness in the distance. They have clearly provoked their enemies and now have to be all ready to see their attacks coming. In no way, he would let his Boss and Madam's life in danger.
"Hmm", Feng Shufen gave a small sound of affirmation and then continued, "Then we will leave right away. Keep the arrangements ready in Florida, no lavish welcome is required. Inform the government officials there". He commanded as the car whizzed its way in the darkness towards the destination.
Back in Chiboa, Royal Palace.
The darkness of night was long faded away and the morning sunlight was blessing the sky with its soothing blissfulness. But that blissfulness was not getting noted with any appreciation, since the people were all busy with their own thoughts and matters.
"What are you busy thinking, Rui?" Suddenly a soft voice snapped the Queen from her thoughts. Her eyes moved to look at her husband who was back after using his morning hours in the golf course.
She stood up, taking a small towel in her hands and then walking her way to her husband. "You are back? How was the play?" She asked like a sweet wife with a small smile over her lips while extending the towel up to him, to wipe off the sweats.
Shin Tinming looked at his wife. Reciprocating her gestures with his own smile, he nodded and said, "Yes, the game was good. But Rui, I was asking you something else. Are you avoiding my question?"
The woman smiled. "Could I even avoid you? You have got childish instincts. Until and unless I let you know what you want to know, you just won't let me slide from the conversation."
"I am not avoiding you, just telling you to get freshen up first, so that we can talk afterwards". She said, hooking her arms around her husbands and then pushing him into the bathroom. "Go, clean yourself first. So that we could talk later. I have things to discuss with you".
The man instantly pursed his lips at her but then nodded, "As you order, Your Highness! I will be back soon".
The Queen smiled at her husband's antics and then went back to take her seat at the sofa. Pressing the call for the servants, she ordered them to prepare some tea for them and bring it to their room.
Soon all things were prepared as per her orders as her husband also came to sit in front of her. All ready as her wife has asked him to. "Hmm … now I am all well to hear your concerns. So, tell me. At this early hour of the morning, what is troubling my beloved". Shin Tinming asked, looking all dotingly at her wife. She was his precious pearl, and seeing her with brows furrowed with stress would be the last thing he liked.
Chen Rui smiled and shook her head. "It's nothing serious Tingming. I was just thinking about the information Mr Cao brought us yesterday. I really feel pity for that girl. She has been so good. How could her parents be so cruel to her?" She said, pouring a cup of tea for him and then extending it in his hands.
The king's expressions instantly froze. But soon his expressions came back to normal as he saw her wife staring at him. Smiling nonchalantly, he took the cup in his hands, then sipping slowly the flavorful liquid, he said, "Why are you thinking about her? We still do not know her properly. And …"
Before he could complete his words, she cut him off with a slight frown. "Tingming, what are you saying? How did we not know her properly? Haven't we already know that she has been the girlfriend of FenFen already. Furthermore, she has also saved your life the other day. You might be saying this because you have yet not seen her properly. But let me tell you, once you meet her you can easily sense a soft feather of familiarity in her aura. I don't know if it was in her air or the way she handles herself, but she didn't feel any different in my eyes. Rather looked like someone, I have always known. She was a kind girl in her own different style".
"And how did you forget that even without meeting her, a small wishing note of her brought a smile over your lips," Chen Rui said, clearly not appreciating the words of her husband from earlier.
Shin Tinming instantly sighed. He opened his lips to say something but just when he was about to roll his words out, the woman said from beside him. "There is no need to say anything and you don't have to force yourself to believe my words. I have already asked Mr Cao to invite her for lunch or dinner in the palace. You can meet her at that time and then you can decide yourself".
"You have already invited her for lunch and dinner?" The king asked, not understanding the thoughts of her wife well.
The woman daringly nodded as she added, "Yes, of course! Didn't we already decide to treat her to the meal to show her our gratitude? Do I have to inform you before proceeding on that?" She asked, her eyes turning the sharpest at her husband, not liking his attitude suddenly.
"It's not about asking me, darling! I was just saying that we have yet to hear the whole report on her background. Mr Cao has not completed it yesterday night", he tried to persuade her patiently but was already aware that his words had already dampened her mood to no return.
"And who was responsible for that? Your Majesty, it wasn't me stopping Mr Cao in the middle of the report but you who has suddenly gone all sleepy. But don't worry, I already have a solution for that. I have invited the girl the day after tomorrow, so we would always have time to know her more. Let Mr Cao return, I will let him continue the report from where he stopped yesterday".
"But, Rui …"
"His Majesty still has matters to look after. I won't delay his time. Please suit yourself here while I go out to carry out my responsibilities". The lady said with a forced smile as she stood up and mercilessly left, without looking back at the pitiful husband.
