"Sharing royom with me?" Li Xue asked dumbfoundedly. All this time she was thinking that the man was sacrificing his comfort for her. That was not something absurd in love. But how did she not know that her lover is not an angel to make sacrifices in love rather a Devil, who knows well to pull the right strings and traps at the right time and place.
The man looked at her quietly with serenity on his face and then nodded. "Yes, we are sharing the room. The space and facilities of this room will suffice to both of us comfort". He said, moving his eyes to look around the room.
Li Xue almost wanted to facepalm herself in his words. This man's nonchalance was really dangerous and could easily make anyone show their worst, making cracks on the surface of their composure.
Taking a deep breath in, she bit her buccinators muscles between her teeth and then releasing it, she said, "Mr Beelzebub, are you planning to sleep with me on the same bed?" The meaning of the question was not coming right and Li Xue knew it well. But she did not care as there was no one else in the room apart from them. She could be as shameless as she wants.
The man did not say anything for a moment, just turned to look towards the bed and said, "We only have one bed in this room. Do you want me to bring one more here? I don't think that would look good in this room and would ultimately make the whole décor go waste".
His words were coming all firm and serious with his usual expression. If anyone would have heard his words, then they would not be able to guess the tease behind it. It was like the man was just stating the pros or cons of one's suggestions presented in front of him.
And that was it. The bottom line of Li Xue's patience has blatantly been crossed. For the undeniable and unwavering support and doting-ness the man always showed to her, she was all comfortable in showing her worst to him as she knew that her behaviour at times would not become a base of judgement in his eyes.
She can behave as spoiled, sharp tongue and villainous in front of him, he would never believe them to be wrong if that's what her personality was made of.
To her, Feng Shufen has been the same man from those romantic novels in whose eyes female leads would never be wrong even if she slaughtered the whole city just for some childish play. That was the level of doting-ness, he has wordlessly promised her with his actions.
"Shufen, don't play with me. You know what I am talking about. Don't just twist and turn the meaning of my words", Li Xue yelled annoyingly in a voice that rumbled inside the four walls of the room.
Feigning all innocence to her words, Feng Shufen looked at her like he was not understanding even a simple word of her sentence.
'What is the meaning of such a face? Is he testing my limits with such expressions now? Planning to tease me like there is no tomorrow', she snorted internally as she shot glares at the man.
Then squinting her eyes at him she said, "Since you are such an innocent being on the earth, let me corrupt you a little". As she said her eyes glistened with some seductive fierceness. "I am not going to share the same bed with you because I fear the beast in you."
As she said she took her steps closed towards him. Her face in front of his while her back in the direction from where she walked. Though there was a tinge of fierceness in her tone, the provocative air in her graceful movements could not be missed.
When got close enough to the man, she bent slightly forward towards him and whispered in a light tone that sounded more and more tantalizing to ears. "You know I can't risk myself all knowingly. What if the beast loses its control in the darkness of night?"
Feng Shufen's eyes instantly darkened and it was very much evident what type of darkness that was.
All this while, his eyes were staring each and every movement of the woman. His gaze did not even miss the flips and bounce of her hair strands, not even her batting eyelashes. Does this woman not know how dangerous the play was, that she was planning to play?
For a second Li Xue's breath got hitched when her eyes caught the darkness of his eyes. Her larynx moved as she gulped down her fear down her throat to maintain her courage on the surface. Her eyes followed his every slight movement; moving her eyes on his face, his clenched jaws that were really trying hard to suppress something inside.
Their eyes locked on each other, reading every arriving and departing expression until Li Xue was snapped back with a coughing voice from behind.
Cough … cough!
The woman's back stiffened at that voice. Her face instantly got flushed red while her eyes went wide, trying to guess all the reasons possible for that snapping voice. Then she heard. "President Feng, we think you are busy with some personal things. We will reschedule this meeting again someday".
Feng Shufen did not bother to put any response to those words and just moved his hand to press the key on the laptop's keyboard and soon the screen went all black, disconnecting all the interruptions coming in between them in an instant.
Earlier wrapping all his work for the day, Feng Shufen has decided to pick WeiWei from her school. But suddenly a client meeting popped up. He would have cancelled the meeting but clients were desperately wanting his presence so pushing the time a little forward, he accepted to attend it.
Asking Sister Margaret to let WeiWei have her lunch after freshening up, he went to connect the call with the clients. When Li Xue entered the room, he was already on a call, hearing the clients mentioning some changes in the plan of the project. But all their words came to a pause when they saw the mighty President Feng's eyes drifting towards something else around.
"You … You were on a business call, all this while?" Li Xue asked, not able to control the flush of embarrassment on her face.
The man did not reply to her words, just kept his eyes at her. Li Xue could only press her lips together and huff at his attitude internally. How can he act so playful in front of so many people? Didn't he feel that it could affect his image? Hmph!
"So embarrassing!" she said, not knowing what else she could say to the man's level of shamelessness.
'If he does not care, why should I care?' She again hmphed internally as she straightened herself to walk away but before she could work out her plans, her wrist was pulled back making her fall on the man's embrace all beautifully.
"Fueling a fire intensifies the flames!" he said, making his words clear to her understanding.
