Chapter 755 - Don't need a certificate to call you as my wife.
Li Xue's pupil dilated when she suddenly heard Feng Shufen's words. Frowning a bit at her own confusion, she asked with a little hesitation in her voice, "Mr. Beelzebub, what are you planning now? Are you taking me somewhere with the title of Mrs. Feng?"
Though to walk beside the man was her honor, still, at the moment of the time, she knew that she wasn't ready for it. She might have proven innocent in the scandal from the past, but still, it will not change the fact that she needs to work hard to become capable of holding the title of Mr. Beelzebub's wife.
Feng Shufen's fingers paused on the keyboard as he lifted his gaze to look at the woman. Then moving to keep the laptop aside he rose up to ask. His hands getting tucked into his dress pants pockets showing he has no other motive or intention in his heart. "Why? You don't want to come with me?"
As he said, slowly and steadily, he took his steps to reach her. Although he looked harmless, still there was something in his sharp grey eyes that were giving Li Xue a feel of her being his prey while him being the predator. Her steps on its own started to move back as her hands went to tighten the knot of her bathrobe on her waist. "I-I didn't … I didn't mean it that way, Mr. Beelzebub. And please don't twist the talk, I am just asking what are your plans? You know I am yet not prepared to stand beside you."
Her words got paused the moment she felt her legs hitting the corners of the bedposts. She turned to look back only to find herself at the dead-end. Shifting her foot, she was about to take another direction to walk away but before she could, she realized that she was already trapped. The man was already standing in front of her, giving her no way to walk away.
Still shifting her foot little by little, she thought that she could make her way. "Mr. Beelzebub, I …" But the moment, she thought her foot messed up on the floor, almost making her stumble back and fall on the bed. But at a fortunate second, her fingers went to clasp onto the man's shirt near his collar while his hands went to wrap around her waist, stabilizing her back on her foot.
"Ah, that was close!" She sighed in relief, closing her eyes for a second. But her eyes shot open, the moment she felt cold breath hit her neck and then ears.
Before she could realize it, the man had already leaned down to her ears, in a way where she could not move even a bit from her position. Their c.h.e.s.t, almost brushing with each other, while their cheeks and breaths feeling each other's closeness.
"Mhm … really too close!" His voice became too magnetic to ignore.
Li Xue bit on her lower lip. "You are again deviating me from the real topic. Can we please talk about it first?" She asked, while gently pushing the man back so that they could get back to their original position. Her cheeks were flushed with redness. "So, I was asking, if you are taking me somewhere?"
Feng Shufen looked at her and nodded. "Mhmm."
"But I am not yet prepared …" Before she could repeat her same words, the man hushed her, pulling her close to himself in one swift move.
"Who said you need to prepare yourself?" His voice came soft, but it has its firmness intact to it. While his eyes assured Li Xue that she was perfect and capable in her own way. "You don't need to prepare for anything to stand by my side. Just stay with me and believe me, the rest will do".
As if his words had some effect, it didn't take long for Li Xue to nod in agreement. But then as if she realizes what wrong she was doing, she instantly shook her head and said, "No, no, even if I am capable. I still need a little time to prepare. Furthermore, I have yet to sign the certificate. How can you take me before that?"
"When did me, Feng Shufen, need to get a certificate to call you my wife? Since I accept you as one, you are the one" He reasoned, and Li Xue was rendered speechless. She could not retort, given the past experiences she had shared with the man. He truly never needed a certificate to call her as his. Be it their first meeting, or their second, or any situation.
"I surrender, but can we not go on New Year's Eve? I don't want to ruin anyone's time. We can go some other time." She requested, knowing that it was only better to concede.
"Who said we are going today?" Feng Shufen asked with nonchalance and Li Xue's brows only wrinkled at his words.
Taking her to meet the family was not in any of the recent plans of the man. Though it would be something he was more than willing to do, he still wanted these things to be in a way where none could dare to question his words or authority. For that, he was still at work.
"Didn't you just say something similar to that?" Li Xue asked, clearly getting confused about the things.
To which, Feng Shufen smiled before leaning to place a chaste kiss of adoration on her forehead. "I wanted you to be prepared. Things could happen anytime and you would not know about it".
"Huh?"
"Get ready! We still have a place to go." The man didn't mind her confusion, instead asked her to get prepared for something else, before turning to walk back to the couch. But before he could take a step away, Li Xue halted him by his wrist to ask.
"Where are we going?" Though he has said that they would not be going to meet the family anytime soon, she was still a little doubtful.
"You will know when we get there!"
