Chapter 696: Hard to chase away flies from the honey pot.

Feng Yi Lan's eyes danced as she saw her friend pausing in both her tracks and words. She bit her tongue as her intention has never been to reveal these things to her. It was just at that crazy moment, she could not help but blabber out the things. 

Li Xue's brows jutted in a question mark as she narrowed her eyes at her friend before asking, "What did you say, Yi Lan? What is your brother doing?" 

"Haha … what are you hearing Li Xue? Don't you know I got in the habit of talking rubbish? What I just said was an example of that. Come on, don't mind it" Feng Yi Lan said, forcing an awkward laugh out before turning to walk back to her laptop.

"Yi Lan, spill it out soon because I am not going to buy your excuse" Li Xue spoke, folding her arm at her front while keeping her eyes still on her friend's head. It was not like she was having any trust issues with the man, rather she was quite interested to hear the story her Yi Lan was concealing in her heart. 

"Ah, Li Xue, why don't you believe me? Do you really think that after you, my brother would even care to look at any other woman around? No way! It's just that from the pot of honey, it is hard to chase away the bees and flies. The fault is not of the pot of honey, nor of the flies. That's just their basic nature, you know". Feng Yi Lan said, not understanding from when did she become this knowledgeable personality. 

Li Xue was also quite amused. Her jutted brows eased before forming a raise of appreciation at her friend. "Yi Lan, I never knew you were this philosophical before." 

"I never knew myself. It's just today I got to know that I have been like this as well. Haha … Thanks to you Li Xue". Feng Yi Lan tried to dodge the bullet but she knew there was no escape if it was her Li Xue chasing after.

"Oh please, don't mention it, Yi Lan. I am quite happy for you. But there is a doubt in between your words. I know who you referred to as the honey pot. Could you now tell me who the flies and the bees around it are?" Li Xue asked, with a smile that warned Yi Lan to not prolong the things anymore. 

Seeing her like that, Feng Yi Lan felt like she had got trapped in between the devil and the deep blue sea. She blinked her eyes, trying her best to make Li Xue forget the topic, but nothing helped. 

"Yi Lan, I don't think it's tough". Li Xue probed and Feng Yi Lan already gave in.

"Fine, fine, I will tell you. Don't make it sound like I am keeping secrets from you. But Li Xue, you know it's bad that you are not trusting my brother. I did not expect you to be like this." Yi Lan said, frowning slightly at her friend but Li Xue knew her friend well enough to know that at the moment, her frown meant nothing but another escape. 

"Continue! I am waiting to hear". 

"It's Zhang Xiaotong, dear. Since she is in the same country as my brother, I have heard that she has been often visiting the office there to meet him. But that's it, there is nothing serious. They have known each other since childhood so, I think her visiting for some lunch and dinners are normal". Feng Yi Lan said with nonchalance but heard no response from the other.

Li Xue didn't say anything. She just processed the things in her head. "Zhang Xiaotong! That name sounds quite familiar to my ears". She said after some time, looking a little suspiciously at her friend. 

"Hey! What are you looking at me? I don't know her well. I have just seen her in my childhood and then they left the country. I already said that she is someone related to my brother's childhood. And more, you shouldn't doubt me. I have already warned you about her in the past. It was you who said that you don't care about that. Weren't you too confident about my brother at that time? What happened now?" Yi Lan asked, pursing her lips at her friend. 

It was then when Li Xue realized who Zhang Xiaotong was. The one about whom Feng Yi Lan mentioned. The one who has sent the combination bouquet to profess her love and also the one who was now mentioned as the bee attracted to her honey pot at the moment. 

"You are blaming me, Yi Lan. If I remember correctly not much before you were asking me to have trust in your brother", she said, shaking her head at her. 

"I was …" 

"Anyway dear, it was not like I am having distrust in your brother. I know he is that pot of honey that no one would think to miss. But now that he is mine, I need to know who are the daring flies to look at him" She said a little meaningfully before checking the time on her watch. It was already about to strike afternoon which meant that on the other side it would be already night.

Li Xue debated the idea of calling Feng Shufen first, considering how busy he might have been all day with work. She was about to drop her thoughts but then heard her friend saying at the front. 

"Aye, girl, are you warning the world about a war? Your words are giving that vibe" Feng Yi Lan asked, before pausing to switch on the topic of something different. "By the way, did you hear from my brother? He has been successful there. The things have almost been settled and I think soon he will be back. I guess today they would be having a collaboration party to celebrate this success". Feng Yi Lan said as her fingers worked on the keyboard to search for something. 

Collab party!

Though she has heard that his work has been successful, she did not have any idea about any celebration part. Li Xue shook her head, "I don't know about any party."

"Haha … that's because my brother has never been a person to get involved in such events. So, he must have not said it to you. Come on, I will show the familiar faces there. They are going live on the internet" Feng Yi Lan said, pulling a chair for Li Xue to sit beside her.

"Familiar faces? Is Director Qi also attending that party?" She asked before excitedly moving to check the video. But in her rush, she missed the dinging text on her phone.
