When she caught the gaze of Mr Beelzebub at the door, it was then when Li Xue realized where she was struck. She was all trapped with no escape again but this time in a way where she was feeling like the trap was going to last for all her life long.
Getting suddenly all nervous about it, she quickly turned around on her heels to give her anxious efforts for opening the door once again, though she knew that it wouldn't be helping her in any way. "Director Qi! Director Qi, are you still outside? Please help me get out from here. You know I have a report to submit"
Looking at her like this, Feng Shufen was amused. His lips curled up, giving hints of smiles filled with amus.e.m.e.nt as he slowly added his words. "The door of this building is not that easy to break and also the security lock system and sound-proofing system we have here are top-notch. So all your efforts to open this door will be wasted. If you really want to get out of here, then say your words and I will let this door slide open for you".
He said his words, letting her know his intentions all clear. Li Xue kept her back towards him while her front was facing the door, still making her futile efforts. When she heard him saying the same things again, she turned to face him, keeping her eyes all fixed at him. Her eyes held the light of confidence but the man knew well how much strength she had brought up to bring that light in this situation.
"Okay, I will apologize if you can open the door in exchange for it. But please don't go back on your words after that. You know I have work to attend and I can't disobey my superior's orders" she said with a sigh.
"Don't try. It would go to waste. I never asked you to apologize" the man said, maintaining a smirk on his face. He has determined himself that today was the day when he will let her accept her emotions and feelings at any cost. He wanted to make her realize her true heart and face the truth, especially when he has become all sure of the feeling she was having for him.
"Not apologize! Then what do you want?" She asked arching her brows up a little, not getting his words quite well. Her eyes showed the expressions of confusion that have always made the man's heart go soft for her.
"Didn't I already make that clear? I want something better than that" He said, taking his strong daring steps to her. His eyes piercing her soul, forcing her to give in to his demands and words. Making her heart go all weak and sensitive at the same time.
"What do you mean? Something better … what is that?"
"Your acceptance! Confess your real feelings" he said curtly, without giving any ounce of hesitation in his words. His power of confidence dominated hers.
"There is nothing to confess!" She said, averting her sparkling amber eyes to the other side, avoiding his intense grey ones.
"Are you sure, there is nothing to confess?" He asked, getting a little loud in his tone caging her back in between his arms, letting her know once again that she has no escape today.
His loud voice made her flinch a little but that was just out of surprise, not fear. Her eyes shut and stomach got clenched tight, when felt his soft, cold breath fanning over her skin. "…" She kept mum, shaking her head in denial.
When Feng Shufen saw her like this, so adamant in refusing her feelings, he gave a nod of determination internally. "Fine, since you don't know anything yet. Let me help you! That will make it easy for you to understand it better".
"Why do you get infuriated when I ignored the audacity of Ryan yesterday, even after hearing WeiWei mentioning it?"
"Why did your eyes gave the hints of getting betrayed when you saw me and Ryan here, all alone discussing business"
"Why did your words hide the accusation you felt inside for me?"
"Why do you feel pained with the thought of me, ending this relationship, which has always been fake in your eyes?"
"Why were you still not ready to blame me even after you felt the betrayal from me? Why do you feel so conscious around me yet have undeniable confidence in my actions and words? If you know the answers to all this and then you will know what confession, I am asking you to make here"
Questions were shot out one after the other, demanding her to realize the answer in her heart. But Li Xue was still being stubborn with all her might. But this time she can feel her hard guarded walls shivering to get all shattered. Something inside forced her to accept the things the man was asking her to.
To shrug off all those overwhelming emotions from her inside, she screamed loud enough. "There is nothing like that. Let me go now!" She pushed him slightly back but that was simply not easy. He didn't even move the slightest bit with her force.
Fear of losing her control was getting all evident in her expression and the man knew that now only one more step was needed to make her give in to her feelings. "Okay, let me help you, one last time before finally giving up", he said and then taking her with the best surprise, he leaned in and pressed his lips onto hers.
Li Xue's eyes widened in surprise, not knowing how to respond to it. This was the last thing she was expecting. Though this was not their first time, still …
She wanted to move away but right when she thought of it, his strong arms got wrapped around her keeping her all fixed at her place. At first, it felt like he was being forceful but then she realized that his lips have never been harsh onto hers. It felt all soft and comfortable, nothing like a forceful kiss would have felt.
She wanted to break off from it but something was restraining her doing so, failing her in collecting her strength. "Shufen … this … Let's talk" she tried to stop him but he muffled all her words, mingling their breaths together. And Li Xue got all confirmed what her instinct from earlier meant exactly. A lifelong trap with no escape!
