Chapter 416 - Did she not fear to lose him?
"President Feng, you are heartily welcome in our country. We …" The minister came forward to greet when saw the man descending down from the aeroplane with the lady in his arms. But both his words and steps halted when he saw the aloof and cold poker expression on his face.
Though he looked heartless in his posture and expressions, the way he was carrying the woman was all tender and careful. Same as like he was holding some exquisite, porcelain doll in his hands, whom he feared to break with just a silver line of harshness.
Was this the same Feng Shufen about whose aloof heartlessness the world has got a different level of definition? Or maybe every man gets weak when it comes to their lady? Or else why would such an aloof person be so cold to the world but remain all soft and careful to the woman in his arms.
Smiling at his own conclusion, the minister once again moved forward to reach the man but just then Gao Fan came to block his way. "Minister Davis, please we have already made clear to your government, don't make it hard for us now. President Feng has some emergency and has no time to entertain any of your government officials. Please make a way for them to pass now"
Gao Fan said in an uncompromising tone, stretching his hands slightly forward to create a comfortable passage for his President to walk on. But the minister was not the person to back down so easily, especially when he knew what benefits he would get if he succeeded in impressing the man in question. After all, it was no simple. They are welcoming but the young President of Feng Internationals, a major investor of their country's economy.
"Oh, Secretary Gao, I know President Feng has an emergency to deal with and we are not here to hinder him but to help him out. Please let me explain first, then you can decide it" the minister said, making Gao Fan pause to eye the minister with some suspicion.
Minister Davis instantly gave out the laugh of hesitation which further confirmed the suspicion against him but the secretary kept his lips sealed, knowing the requirements of the situation.
"Secretary Gao, the mansion under the President Feng name is facing some issues in the central lightening system. We have already sent our people to check it for you but seeing Mrs Feng's condition I would only recommend you to shift to government mansions for the time being. But that will only if you f-find it a-appropriate" The minister explained, stuttering his words towards the end as he saw the cold President of Feng International coming and standing at the front. Irritation was written clearly on his expressions. Seeing him like that he feared that if there had not been the lady in his arms then might be till now, he would have already been strangled to death, without any mercy.
Mentioning the lady, he really wanted to know who she was and what she looks like to get a warm side out from such a cold personality. But the angle which was visible to people's eyes was not giving them any clear vision. The lady's flawless chocolate brown hair was splayed over her face giving just some hints of her white porcelain skin from between the strands.
"What's up here?" suddenly a frigid voice snapped the people out from their futile search. "Didn't I already say that I mean no political business during my visit this time?"
"Ah … P – President Feng, you are getting my intentions wrong. We are just here to greet you and then help you. Our intentions are solely friendly without any expectations or any selfish interests, just expecting to help you be comfortable here", The minister blabbered out, not understanding his own words any more.
Feng Shufen's eyes gave a glance of extreme apathy to him and then turned to look at his secretary to seek the reply.
"President Feng, Minister Davis just informed us that there are some temporary issues in Feng estate here. They are dealing with it on our behalf and are requesting you to shift to government quarters temporarily so that madam does not face any inconvenience till everything is settled", Gao Fan informed and the minister at the side, jumped with joy to enthusiastically add his words of confirmation to it.
"Y-Yes, yes, exactly. It's the same as Secretary Gao has stated. President Feng, my apology I wasn't able to explain it properly before. Please accept our request. It will be our flaw if your first stay here with your wife becomes all uncomfortable. She is already injured and we have already kept our best doctor and nursing team ready to serve her", Minister Davis said. In his earlier words, he has become so scared that all his explaining words have come out incoherent.
Feng Shufen scanned him before ordering, "Gao Fan better keep a track on the maintenance of our every estate. From next time sudden arisen problems like this will not be ignored!" He said, then without waiting made his way to the car that was already ready to carry them to the mansion.
"Yes, Sir!" the secretary agreed as his eyes went to sent?glares at the old minister, before following his President
The minister behind felt his soul leaving his body. Were his actions caught? He was sure that it did because … because he could see that in those serious words. What will he do now? He was doomed. He turned around to run to persuade the man in his words but he was too slow to realize his mistake as the car was already driven off.
Inside the car, there was a calm silence, no longer suffocating as it has been before. Maybe because finally, everything was at their place.
Gao Fan was sitting in the front of the car with a driver driving them to the mansion. And Feng Shufen was sitting comfortably behind with Li Xue on his l.a.p. He preferred her that way. Her fingers were clutching on his shirt like her dear life depended on his support and protection, not even caring that her grip was already crumpling his perfectly ironed shirt. While her head was resting snugly on his firm muscled c.h.e.s.t, letting out deep warm breaths that were evidencing her presence close to his heart.
There were all calmness and peace written on her face that was telling that she was fine with him near. His jaws suddenly clenched, staring down at her like that. Flashes of video snippets crossed his eyes when he remembered in which type of dangerous situation she had been earlier, away from him and his wings of protection.
Does she even know how scared he has been seeing her being so courageous before? Did she not care for him even a bit? He almost felt his soul fleeing off, leaving him lifeless behind when he saw her dropping all limp on the floor. And still, here she was, sleeping as she has never played with her life.
She has really been too venturous! Did she really not fear losing him?
Just when the thought crossed the man's brain while looking down at the woman, a soft mumble near his ear was heard, "Mr Beelzebub, don't worry. I won't ever leave you.
