Li Xue knew that Devil's words can never be taken simply. They were bound to have the second meaning that would always take one off guard without leaving any windows to escape.
Same happened in the case of Li Xue too. After all, she has not named the man as Mr Beelzebub without any reason. He was no less a form of the Devil.
When she heard the words of the man from behind, she turned around pursing her lips tight. "What do you mean, Mr Beelzebub? Can you please explain what favour you are talking about?"
"Sure, why not? I guess that was the first promise I made to you. I will always keep my words simple enough for your understanding", he said, repeating the words he has said to her on the day she has first come to his office.
Li Xue squinted her eyes at the man as he continued his words. "Shifting you from here is not any company decision, for which you want to blame your President Feng, rather it was a way by which you would have paid back to your boyfriend".
He explained as he came to take the seat where she had sat before.
"Pay my boyfriend back? That means me paying you back? For what?" she asked for confirmation, quirking her brows up at him and the man nodded accepting her words in an instant.
"I spent a night here yesterday …"
"Huh? I asked you to go back last night. It was you, who wanted to stay here. Now you cannot name your stay as a favour and push it onto me. I won't recognize it as one even if that's the last choice I have in my life." She interrupted his words before he could even complete his intended words.
The man looked at her and did not say anything. A faint smile not leaving his lips but also not notifying its existence to the people's eyes.
Li Xue too, stayed still at her place waiting for him to say something but when the man did not say anything even after quite some time, she voiced out her impatience. "What? Why are you not saying anything now? Cat got your tongue?"
Shufen shook his head with slight disappointment. "Who to blame when you have a dominating heartless girlfriend?"
The woman's eyes widened on his words. She opened her mouth to say something but no reasons struck her head to retaliate the man's words.
Dominating and heartless? When did she become someone like that?
After a good moment, she was finally able to bring her words out. "Are you really calling me a dominating heartless girlfriend? Tell me where I have been one like that?" She said and took her steps unknowingly closer to him.
Feng Shufen eyes saw hints of shine. "Right now!" he said outwardly without thinking how perverse he looked in his attitude. "You know that I can't bear to leave you on yourself. Doing things for you and WeiWei makes me satisfied and content, yet you are snatching away my chance of being happy wholeheartedly."
Li Xue was all dumbfounded at his words, not understanding what he actually meant with those words. "When did I stop you from doing things for us? You always do and we accept it without any …"
Before she could even complete her words the man nodded agreeing to her. "You never did but you are doing it now. Do you know how tough it gets for me to look after you when you are living so far from my place?"
Far away from his place? Isn't it just a few steps away? In fact, in the whole housing society, their apartments have been the closest one.
"It's fine since you can't move then I will be the one moving into your place. In our relationship, I will never hesitate to compromise." He said and Li Xue instantly felt like she was really a dominative husband who was giving a tough time to his wife, forcing her to satisfy her every needs and demands.
She wanted to say something but this Mr Beelzebub has hypnotized her in the way where however she tried, her brain was not supporting her rather was making her listen only to his words.
"Okay, now you go and help WeiWei inside. I will ask someone to bring and arrange my stuff here. And also I think we will have to share the same bedroom since this house only has three rooms without any gym and study room. So leaving one bedroom, the other two will be converted into my gym and study. I hope you would not mind it."
He said as he leaned forward to get his phone from the centre table.
Was he serious? It was already hard for her to see him one day, roaming around in the house like this … Was he really planning to make this a routine? If anything like that really happens then how will she be able to control herself?
"Mr Beelzebub, you can't stay here. Call me heartless or anything but you just can't live with us here", Li Xue said all adamantly as she lunged forward to snatch away his phone.
Feng Shufen looked at her but did not show any efforts to get his phone back as it has never been his plan from the beginning itself.
Tucking his hands back into his jogger's front pockets, he said, nodding his head in agreement.
Li Xue sighed in relief thinking that finally the man had accepted her terms but soon her relief was turned upside down when heard him saying his words all firmly.
"Fine, I won't come here and stay. You will come to my place then. I will ask my people to shift your things there"
"Nope, I am not going anywhere".
"Love! Compromise can only be healthy if made from both sides. Either you come and stay in the next house or I will come and stay here".
Li Xue was again at loss. Although she wanted to refuse the man, she knew this thing was not just about moving together. Mr Beelzebub's actions can never be simple. It was him, presenting it in such a jovial way so that she does not have any stress in future. She could never underrate his farsightedness.
