To Feng Shufen, Li Xue or WeiWei was not some shame that he would want to hide from the world, rather he took them as the treasure for which he could take pride on. He has already known that his father would be here as the chief guest. But who said that anyone's presence around was capable enough to waver his thoughts and determination?
Feng Yi Lan looked at her brother and could no longer say any more words. The Devil looked serious and in no way, she would want to see herself dead by voicing her ifs and buts out. So, plainly nodding to words, she asked, "Then are you planning to introduce her today?"
Feng Shufen paused as he looked up at the stage. He could see his little piece taking the award and talking something with the old man with a serious yet adorable face. Planning to introduce them?
He was sure the little eager piece, till now would have already introduced herself to the man, the same way she has introduced herself to him with just a blink of eyes. Thinking of the day, his lips still curl on the sides to give the faint smile. That was the day when the Devil for the whole world turned to become the Handsome Angel for one particular.
Feng Shufen shook his head at Yi Lan's words making the young woman wriggle and go crazy in confusion.
"Brother, what do you mean by that? Can you not confuse me with your gestures? Didn't you just say that you already knew father's presence here?" Feng Yi Lan asked, getting all tired of thinking one thing and then the other.
"What confusion are you guys talking about?" At this moment, Li Xue from the side asked. She has not heard the particulars but hearing a few mumbling words of Yi Lan and then seeing her brows tugged together in confusion, she could make out a little of the things. "Is there something?" She probed a little more when saw the expressions of the man all plain and normal, opposite to what Yi Lan had on her face.
Something was definitely fishy that she was not known of. Her eyes darted between Feng Shufen and Feng Yi Lan but none were ready to tell her the tale.
"Mr Beelzebub, are …"
"I think it's already time. The show is at the end. We should go and take WeiWei from there and then leave" The man suddenly said as the announcement for the same was made on the stage.
Forgetting the thing she was asking; her eyes quickly moved to look back at the dais where her daughter was already on the way back to backstage. Nodding, she said, "Yes, I guess, we should go and pick her up now. She is already looking so tired. Restraining the fear and nervousness inside must be a little tiresome for her."
The man hummed in agreement. "Let's go then", he said as he brought one arm protectively around his woman, before guiding her through the crowd. He has never been a person to prefer crowds like this but with and for just two precious ones in his life, he could bear to stand there for long hours.
Feng Yi Lan could only shake her head. Her brother truly has known Li Xue by all her nerves, keeping her all wrapped around his finger. "Hey, wait I will also come along. Did you forget I have also been here with you guys?"
Soon all the three were on their way to reach the backstage, oblivious of the pair of eyes at them. 'Shufen and Yi Lan have been here all this time? Why? If they had been here, why were they sitting amidst the crowds of the parents, instead of taking the seat of the guest at the front?' Feng Yu Hao thought to himself as tranced off for a bit, only to be brought back by the voice of the Principal from behind.
"Mr Feng!" The Principal called as she came up to host the chief guest by herself. The man also turned to look at the woman, sending polite smiles to each other. "Thank you, Mr Feng were are really honoured to see you and Mrs Feng keeping your presence for the whole of the event. The students were really encouraged seeing you here"
The old man shook his head. "It was definitely not any trouble. Seeing the kids so capable at their young age, we elders could only feel the peace. Your school is really doing a good job"
The Principal smiled modestly as their conversation continued on one side while on the other side Li Xue and Feng Shufen reached backstage to take WeiWei back.
But just when they were about to walk more in to find the little one, the man's phone rang making him halt for a second. Pulling the phone out of his pocket to look, his expression turned serious and Li Xue at once knew that the call was something important that the man was not wanting to miss.
"It's okay, you can go and take the call first. I will go in and find WeiWei on my own. I still have some words to exchange with her teacher. Once I am done here, I will meet you with her outside" She said with a smile and blinked her eyes with some assurance.
The man seemed a little reluctant but in the end, the call was really important to take. So, he nodded to her before patting over her arms, "Okay then, I will wait for you guys outside. Be careful there is still a little crowd here".
Li Xue smiled at his concerned eyes. "Mr Beelzebub, did you forget? It's not me but you, who gets uncomfortable in crowds. Don't worry, I will be fine. Just go ahead and take your call. Just seeing you accepting my words this easily is letting me know how important it must be".
Feng Shufen nodded. Yes, it was important. Definitely very important! Because it was related to her.
