Feng Shufen stared down at the small one. Although he was still young in height, his eyes held an innocent maturity that was compelling him to see him more in an adult way rather than a kid.
"Shufen, Avron has greeted you politely. Won't you say anything?" At this moment, Li Xue came. She was drifting in her own thoughts earlier when she saw Avron giving a bottle of orange juice to WeiWei while Feng Shufen was sitting on the side, looking at them with his sharp eyes.
Feng Shufen turned to look at her and the woman raised her brows at him meaningfully. To which the man gave a slight nod to look back at the boy.
Nodding to his greeting, he appreciated, "It's nice to meet you too. I have heard that you are an exchange student here. So, when is your study tenure getting over?" He asked, and Li Xue couldn't help but be speechless at his words.
It was only now she got to understand that the man could be really indifferent towards other children. WeiWei was just an exception to him.
Shaking her head internally, she glared at the man. "Shufen, you really need experience while talking to kids." Then turning to look at the boy, she said, "Avron, you have really played well on the stage earlier. We really enjoyed the play."
Avron's expression showed a hint of a smile as he nodded to her to say, "Thank you, Mrs. Feng. Our whole group has worked hard. Everyone will be happy to know that the audience liked it."
Li Xue smiled. As she knew, the boy was mature enough to know how to form his sentences well. She looked at Feng Shufen next and quirk her brows at him. "Learn better next time, okay?" She said and the man nodded.
Then looking down at her princess, she said, "WeiWei, We spoke to your teacher already. Now that the event is over, we can leave. Are you ready to come with me or are there more friends whom you want to greet?"
Li Wei looked at Avron and then, giving some thought, she shook her head, "Nope, Mama. I already introduced everyone to Daddy Angel. Now there is no one left. We can leave."
Li Xue nodded with a smile. "Good. Then we should leave. Do you know Aunt Yi Lan and Uncle Qi Shuai have also come to see you on stage? Let's go and meet them." She said and at once getting all excited, the little one reached out to confirm once again.
"Really Mama? Aunt Yi Lan and Uncle Cutie have come to see me?"
Seeing her excited like that, a soft chuckle left her lips as she nodded. "Yes, they are here. If you don't believe me, we can go out and meet them at this instant itself." She said and she extended out her hand to let her hold.
Little WeiWei at once reached to put her hands onto her and chimed. "Then let's go, Mama. It won't be good to let them wait for me." She said, and nodding to her, the mother agreed.
Feng Shufen followed them but he had barely taken his steps to follow them when Li Xue paused in her steps and looked over her shoulders to say, "Mr. Beelzebub, I think it's your time. I have taught you better. So, consider using some of my teachings now." She said and then gestured to the man to look back at Avron.
When she caught him looking their way, she smiled, "Avron, you can also come. WeiWei's aunt and uncle would love to meet you as well. Come along with him, okay?" She said before looking to Feng Shufen who nodded with understanding.
Then taking WeiWei first, Li Xue proceeded. Behind Feng Shufen stayed with the boy on his side. Once they had walked enough distance, he turned back to look at Avron to say, "WeiWei is having her birthday, the day after tomorrow. You are invited to her birthday party."
He said with a few words and was ready to turn and leave but then paused again. Turning back, he asked, "Want to come along? They would be happy to see you there." But when found him saying nothing, he didn't say more and turned to leave.
But he had just taken a step ahead when he heard Avron speak from behind, "Mr. Feng, you asked me when I am departing from this country. It's the day after tomorrow. My tenure of study here has already ended this week." He said and his words like that amused Feng Shufen. Not because he put it that way. But because he only chose to tell him now.
Turning to him, he raised his brows at him. To which he further added to say, "Earlier when you asked, Li Wei was around. If she had been reminded of the day, I am leaving then she would have gotten upset. Since she was happy today, I could only tell you now that she is not around."
Feng Shufen heard him and nodded. Then keeping his expression straight, he said, "So, does that mean that you won't be coming to her birthday party?"
Avron stared at him and shook his head. "I will be leaving late at night so I will be attending a bit of it. You can expect me there, Mr. Feng." He said and then turned and left, "I won't be able to accompany you. I have to make a call to my father."
Feng Shufen stared at his back as he walked away. After a while, he also turned and left. When he reached out, Feng Yi Lan was having her conversation with the little one. When she saw her brother, she pursed her lips and looked away. She had yet not forgotten how he had treated her earlier. There is no way she was going to leave the topic so easily.
When Li Xue saw him appearing, she turned to focus on him. Seeing him coming out alone, she could tell that Avron had not come out with him. Either he has not asked him to come out or he has just left him there itself.
Raising her brows, she was about to ask him about it, but before she could the man said it on his own, "He didn't come with me. He said he had to make a call to his father so he left."
Li Xue nodded. "Did you invite him to the party?"
Feng Shufen nodded, "Yes, he will be coming for some time."
"Some time?"
The man nodded, "He had a flight back to his country late at night. So, just or some time."
"Oh!" Li Xue understood but when she saw him staring at her, she asked, "What? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Feng Shufen turned to look at her in a proper way as looking into her eyes he asked, "Do you want me to do anything more?"
Li Xue raised her brows as her lips got curled on one corner, "Mr. Beelzebub, why are you looking unhappy? Did I tire you by bossing you around?"
"..."
Her smile deepened. "Fine, then I won't ask you to do anything more. After all, I wouldn't want to see you getting all tired before we even reach home." She said and Feng Shufen's eyes burned at her.
Tugging her a bit to himself by her waist, he spoke in a deep voice, "You are getting bold these days. Do you not fear the consequences anymore?"
Li Xue smiled, "What's there about getting scared? What are you even thinking? I was just saying that you shouldn't get tired now. We are still away from home and only after reaching our place will you be able to sleep."
"You have grown naughty these days", Feng Shufen's eyes grew dark with desire but Li Xue just gave a flutter of laughter.
"Didn't you say that you liked to spoil me then why are you complaining now? Have you grown tired?"
Feng Shufen stared at her and then grew close to her ears to whisper, "Don't worry, I won't get tired until I have you on the bed." He said, and maybe it was his words or his breath but, Li Xue's heart palpitated at it, making her cheeks grow red in an instant.
For a moment, she even forgot that she had to speak. Looking at the man, she stared at him, unable to speak anything.
"Hey! What are you two still doing there? Li Xue, are you not going back home?" Suddenly, Feng Yi Lan's voice snapped Li Xue out and she turned to look at her while shaking her head.
"W-We will leave." She said, pushing Feng Shufen away while working to even her heartbeat.
Feng Yi Lan raised her brows as she felt something awkward in her friend's behavior. Looking between Li Xue and Feng Shufen, she asked, "Are you sure about it? I mean you look quite flustered."
At her words like that, Li Wei turned to look at her mother with concern.
When she saw her daughter looking at her, Li Xue's expression grew redder, and shaking her head, she refused to say, "Of course, I am fine. Let's go back now. We are the only ones left." Saying that she went first to get inside the car.
But that was not before glaring at Feng Shufen. Even though she wanted to blame him, she knew it was her fault. She teased him first and was not able to take the consequences later.
