Feng Shufen felt something amiss. From the time he descended downstairs, his eyes had been staring at Li Xue but the woman was continuously ignoring him like he had never been at the place.
He looked at her but her eyes were completely at the little head down there. They were having their time and he was enjoying seeing them that way. Only when he saw their conversation over, he asked, "My breakfast?" A faint curl of smile accompanying his lips while his eyes looked at the woman, finally bringing her attention to him.
"Your breakfast? Right! Hold on!" He heard her say. Both his eyes and ears, not missing the difference in her aura and her tone. His brows raised slightly at her stature, ready to ask her if there was something.
But Li Xue did not wait for his words. Right at the moment, her curiosity was greater than his. She walked away, more into the living hall. Her back, already feeling the contemplating gazes from behind.
Feng Shufen's eyes followed her every moment as he saw her getting in an open living space and then coming back with a bouquet and a gift box in hand. His brows furrowed a little, not understanding her actions.
"This is for?" He asked, staring at the bouquet then at the gift box and then again at the lady at the front.
But to his question, Li Xue only smiled before gifting the flowers all dearly on the man's l.a.p. "Of course, this is for you. Who else do you think it can be for? A special bouquet of beautiful marguerites and blossoming mimosa to greet you in the morning. How blissful! Please accept it, President Feng", She said, before putting a forced smile over her lips.
On the side, WeiWei, who has been enjoying her pancakes paused. Her eyes looked at her mother and then turned to her Daddy Angel with all concern. Her pair of greys, showing some sympathy as she whispered in a meek voice before bringing her attention back to her food, "Beware! Someone has twisted Mama's wrong nerves".
The man felt perplexed at her words. He frowned looking at the bouquet. " Who are these from?" He asked, getting his eyes back at the woman.
He could see the reason behind her strange behaviour but could only help the situation after knowing the related particulars of the scenario.
The woman's jaws tightened sullenly at his question. She squinted at the innocence of the man for a second but just when the people around would have thought that she would burst out, her lips again pressed together pulling a little longer to bring a forced smile as she said.
"Haha … How can we, the mere people of this house know such big details regarding President Feng's privacy? Hasn't it been in the orders of the house that if the gifts and parcels are received at the names of the Young Master, none can question it? Furthermore, these are so beautiful flowers coming in the name of Mr President, no one would feel the heart to question it. Just a look of it and anyone would understand the sweet intention behind".
Feng Shufen's brows got raised at the latter part of the woman's words. His eyes, showing that he was already at the edge of losing his patience at the scene. Though for the woman he has got all the patience of the eternity, seeing her like this early in the morning was putting him at the edge. Provoking him to do something bad to the person who sent such sinful flowers to ruin his woman's mood.
Li Xue also saw the hints of darkness surfacing his grey orbs. Feeling like she has overdone the things unnecessarily, she simply said, "Why do you have to ask me about the person who sent this? Not like I know everyone in your life. There is a pretty name card in between the flowers. Check it yourself. Hmph!"
Saying that she stood there, folding her arms over her c.h.e.s.t. Feng Shufen went back to the flowers and pulled out the card about which Li Xue mentioned. Opening the card, a dark thunderstorm crossed his eyes but soon that darkness was overshadowed with a contented smile over his lips.
Li Xue's eyes widened at that smile. Was he so happy looking at those flowers? What made him so happy? Just the flowers, or the person who has sent those flowers to him?
Who exactly was this Zhang Xiaotong?
"Is that gift also come with this bouquet?" Suddenly the lady was snapped back from her questioning thoughts when heard the man ask, still sitting on the chair. His eyes, gesturing her towards something in her hands.
On the mention of it, she came to realize that she had almost forgotten about the gift box that she still had in her hand. "Ahh, this?" She asked in her own thoughts of bewilderment and then nodding continued, "Yes, it was along with those flowers".
Feng Shufen did not pay any heed to her bewilderment, instead of extended his hands forward to her.
Li Xue looked at him, not understanding his intentions. Her brows wrinkling at first then asking, "What?"
"The gift! Didn't you say that that's for me?" He said as he stood to his full height to take the box from her hand. His eyes, not leaving her face for even a second. Looking at her like this felt really amusing to his eyes.
The woman was confused, not understanding the sudden attitude of the man. This was something she had not expected from him. Wasn't he the man to coax her whenever her nerves are irked like this? "Mr Beelzebub! What does all …" she started her words but all her words went to take a pause with a hitch in her breath when saw the man suddenly bending directly to her face.
"Why? Are you getting jealous?" he asked, raising his brows in amus.e.m.e.nt.
Li Xue at once pressed her lips together, understanding his play. She refused to give in. Pulling her hands up to his shoulders, she pushed him a little back before saying, "Jealous? I have seen much better."
"Great then! I expected the same" He said and then under her gaze opened the gift box, only to reveal a black shade tie inside.
The woman looked at the tie from the side of her eyes and let a mocking chuckle internally. 'Hmph! Yet another similar dark tie has gotten added to the man's wardrobe.'
"Sister Margaret, help me keep these in my study. After breakfast, I still have work there, so after completing my work I won't forget to keep this in my closet" Feng Shufen said to Sister Margaret while looking all meaningfully at Li Xue.
Li Xue squinted her eyes at him while Sister Margaret came forward to take the things away. But just when she could get them in her hand and walk away, Li Xue said from the front.
"Sister Margaret, first, serve breakfast to your Young Master. He still has work to attend in his study. So, I doubt he would like to waste any extra time on the breakfast table." She said, before haughtily walking her way to take her seat at the table.
Feng Shufen smiled at her antics as he looked at her walking past him all indifferently.
