Li Xue paused for a second as her eyes stared at the stunning piece in front of her sight. The sleekness of its figure just made her heart jump out of her c.h.e.s.t. Her lips wide agape in shock as she tried her best to stay settled and rooted in her place.
"Mr Beelzebub, was this the gift you were talking about?" She asked, blinking her eyes constantly at the black Bugatti Divo standing all proudly at the front. Looking at its deep carved trendiest style, no one would dare to question it's worth, the logo attached at its front was enough to let anyone know its worth without any question.
"Mhm – Hmm! Since you will be starting your career soon, you would be needing a good car to drive". Feng Shufen said nonchalantly, looking doubtful at the car in front. His hands tugged inside his dress pants pockets while contemplating something in his mind.
Though he has thought thoroughly before selecting this car for her, still somewhere deep down he could not feel assured of it. Especially, given to her killer skills that he has witnessed her driving, the other day.
Giving all strengths and efforts, Li Xue finally tore away her gaze from the car for a moment as she turned to look at the man. "Mr Beelzebub, having this car just at the start of the comeback of my downfallen career … Don't you feel it will be a little too much to have? I mean it's a little too high-end and flashy".
Feng Shufen didn't look at her but shook his head in response. "No, it's not. This only cost $5.8 million. The one I chose before this was approx. $9 million but Gao Fan suggested it would be a little complicated for you to carry such an expensive car at this early stage of your career so, in the end, I have to go for this".
He said and Li Xue could only facepalm herself at his words. Does he even think that the digits in millions were already too high to be said this easily? Or did he think that along with his wealth the whole world has become wealthy.
Pursing her lips, she no longer knew what else she could say to him.
From the corner of his eyes, Feng Shufen noticed the woman pursing her lips. Turning to her he asked with some wrinkles on his brows, "Why? Do you not like it?"
"Do you think I would not like this? Really?"
"Then what's the problem?"
"The problem is if I drive this now, soon after my comeback I will be trending on the news headlines for having a sugar daddy by my side to support me" she replied with the utmost usualness but it only brought a frown on the man's expression.
It almost took the whole day for him to decide on this car for her and yet when it had been chosen, it was still not going as per her situation.
Li Xue looked at his frown and was about to say something but before she could the man pulled his phone out to make a call. "Gao Fan, the car is not up to the mark. It will no longer be needed. Discard it!" He ordered and the woman's eyes instantly widened in horror.
Did he just order to discard such a beautiful, amazing piece? No way!
Without missing any other moment, she pressed her hands over his shoulders before swooshing his phone away.
"Hello, Mr Secretary! Don't mind your boss's words. The car is all fine and there will be no need to discard it. Why waste the money this easily when we can always use it for better?" she said in one breath, fearing that if not said in an instant then the car would already be on its way to get discarded.
Gao Fan was a little taken aback at the sudden voice switch on the call. After all, it was the first time when the phone was snatched away from his President's hands. "Ohh!" was the only response he was able to provide at that instant.
"Oops, I am sorry, Mr Secretary. I know it's audacious of me asking you to not follow your President Feng's order but if you take it technically, I am not wrong to ask that to you. Since this car has already been gifted to me, it is no longer in the possession of your President. So, regarding any decision concerning this car, my words should be the one getting acknowledged".
She explained her situation glaring at the man in front and Gao Fan could only nod to her words.
"I understand, Madam! You don't have to explain so much. Even without your saying, I would have followed your words". Gao Fan said all politely and Li Xue only felt something weird in his attitude.
"Huh? Did something change?" she asked with confusion.
"You are our Lady Boss. It would only be right for us to follow your orders without raising any question to it" He said and soon the call was put to the polite disconnection.
Li Xue felt a little weird by the sudden change in his attitude but then shrugged her thoughts, seeing the man still in poker expression at front.
"Why are you forcing yourself to have it? Since it's not as per your liking then we can go for another", Feng Shufen said when saw her attention back on himself.
The woman squinted her eyes at him before saying, "Who said, it's not something as per my liking? If you want to insult this car, better not drag my name into it. Hmph!" She snorted, crossing her arm over her c.h.e.s.t.
She thought, to her attitude, the man would say something but when saw him saying nothing, she explained it to her, taking a deep breath in. "Mr Beelzebub, this is already the best one I could select. Since you have chosen it then definitely you would have taken note of my every preference. Then how do you even think that I would not like it? Of course, I like it."
"Didn't you say that you would not be able to drive it?" Feng Shufen asked. His expressions, still having some trace of disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e.
Seeing him like this, Li Xue nodded, agreeing, "Yes, I can't carry it now. But soon setting myself back in my career, I will be able to drive it. And since my boyfriend already has so much fortune in his account, I don't think it will lessen his wealth, even the line of a needle if I ask him to buy me another car". She said and finally, the cold, taut expression on the man's face eased.
"Okay then, let's go and get it right away!" He said and Li Xue did not hesitate in nodding her head radiantly. But then suddenly, she realized something missing by her side.
"Huh?" she scrunched her brows a little as she looked down in confusion. "Where is WeiWei?" Her eyes looked around the garden to search for her little daughter, only to hear her voice from a little distance.
"I am here, Mama! I am searching for something but not able to find it".
