Feng Shufen was really amused. What was this woman actually thinking of?
Looking at her like this an urge to tease her a little more surfaced his heart. He glanced at her intensely for a moment and then went back to flip the Savory Crepe on the pan. "Oh seems like you don't remember anything?"
Li Xue felt her heart thumping hard at his words. Her brows get furrowed thinking all assumptions her mind can come up with. "What do you mean? Did you chan …" her throat felt heavy, making it tough for her to bring out the words she was intending to say. Her cheeks are getting flushed red.
That was enough! Feng Shufen was satisfied. Taking note of her health, he could not take the play to a greater limit.
He feigned innocence as he looked at her. His eyes and tone, a little serious as if he was all unknown to her thoughts and whatever she was trying to ask him. "Last day, you were drenched in sweat so after cleaning you up I asked Sister Margaret to change your clothes".
When she heard him saying that it was Sister Margaret, who changed her clothes; she breathed a sigh of relief. He was really a gentleman for being so thoughtful, or if it had been someone else in his place then she doubts that the things would have been the same.
Suddenly her heart was filled with gratitude, her gaze that was stiff before turned a lot softer as she took her steps closer to the kitchen. But then again something from the last day flashed in front of her eyes. 'Shufen! Why are you so good to me?'
'Are you the same with every woman around you?'
'Shufen, don't leave me alone'
One after the other all her words from last night started streaming in front of her eyes. 'Oh crap! Li Xue, what did you do last night? How did President Feng become Shufen for you? Aishhh!!! Now, what should I say to him?' She looked at the man who had once again focused himself in his pan and spatula.
She was still busy comprehending what she should say next to make the things go back to where it was but was getting no clue about it. "That … President Feng, I …"
"What happened? Do you want anything else? I have not cooked for quite some years now, so maybe my skills have become a little rusty. I tried to prepare almost everything I am good at but if you still want anything else I will prepare it for you", he asked, gesturing to her to look at everything he has prepared and then tell him, her suitable taste.
There were breakfast noodles, rice porridge, savoury crepe and some fried egg sandwiches. Every dish was perfect to heighten her appetite. This man was truly a praise loving person, or else will he really call such perfect dishes coming out of rusty skills? Even his topmost chefs can't match his plates.
Her eyes glittered as she looked at him. Is he one of those rare polymaths we have always heard in the books? She mumbled, thinking how can a person be so good at everything?
When Feng Shufen felt her constant stares, he raised his brows in askance. He simply was unable to handle her stares. Her eyes felt like a wild provocation to him, challenging his limits to the extent where he himself was not sure if he would be able to control it or not.
"Ahh! President Feng, you have already done more than enough for me. And the dishes you have cooked; I doubt that I will not be able to finish them all during breakfast. There is no need to make so many efforts", she presented her words as a reply to his expressions.
"Fine, then you can go and get freshen up first. There are still some small things left here, everything will be ready when you return", he said, suppressing the anger he was feeling deep in his heart from hearing her refer to him as 'President Feng' every time.
Li Xue looked at him and then around the house. "Yes, I will be off but before that, I will quickly do some dusting. The house is looking a little messed up and it won't look nice if suddenly I get some guest knocking at the door". She said and was about to turn away from the kitchen counter but her wrist was grabbed gently to stop her.
"The doctor has said that you need to have your medicine after breakfast, so go and get freshen up first. I will ask Sister Margaret to send some maid to clean the place", he said in a firm tone, clearly asking no arguments with this matter.
Li Xue too nodded to his words. Arguing with him did not strike her. "That's okay President Feng but I need to go and get Li Wei up. She needs to go to school too". She looked at the clock and it was indicating 6.15 am.
"Don't worry about it. Since Yi Lan has taken her with herself, she needs to take her responsibility", he said, like he was punishing a child for doing something severe without asking for any proper permission.
"President Feng, she asked me yesterday to take her out. You don't have to blame her, she loves Li Wei a lot", Li Xue explained, not wanting her friend to face another weird trouble for her actions.
Looking at her, the man simply shook his head and said, "Don't defend her. Even if she had taken permission to take WeiWei out; she still needed to take her back home. Taking a small kid to her place without asking the permissions from her parents is still something not acceptable"
Hearing him say all those words, Li Xue felt like it was not her little, Yi Lan had taken away rather his daughter. Finding him like this one thing was sure that this man will really be a possessive father in future. A smile got plastered at her lips when she imagined Mr Beelzebub showing her possessive side for his kids, with Yi Lan involved in the picture.
