After dropping Li Wei off at her school, Li Xue headed her way to Glamour World. Her eyes were staring out of the window, busy thinking about something. She looked at peace but only her inner self knew what turbulent waves she was feeling inside.
Though she has said that the truth of her birth has not fazed her, somewhere deep she knew that when learned about it, she felt the floor beneath her pulled away.
After all, which child would like to hear her mother's such hateful past? Who would like to know the woman who has birthed her would have such a low background that would lack dignity in all sense?
"Young Madam, is there something troubling you? Can I be of help?" Du Fan, who has been looking at her from the rearview mirror for a time now, asked. And his sudden call brought Li Xue out of her trance.
Her brows knitted at confusion at first as she looked at the driver but then realizing his question of concern, she gave a simple plain smile. "Ah, there is nothing such, Mr. Driver. Do I look in trouble?"
Du Fan shook his head. "Nope, Young Madam. You just look to be stressing over something. Like you are busy dwelling over something you have already decided." He said and given the unchanged expression Li Xue spoke already that he wasn't wrong to guess that.
Li Xue nodded, accepting his words. "Haha, you got good eyes to see that. Anyway, sorry to get you concerned about it, Du Fan. There is nothing serious. Just some things related to my work". She said, giving a proper explanation so that the news of her trancing off like this doesn't reach the ears of the ultimate person.
Du Fan looked at her and then nodded before looking at the route he was following. But after every few alternating seconds, he would turn to look back at Li Xue. Though he was not sure of the actuality, after the last day he knew there was something that was disturbing the lady. While Li Xue as well turned to look back out of the window.
After some time she suddenly turned to ask. There was a curiosity in her voice but she was good at handling that air of eagerness inside. "By the way, Mr. Driver, do you know where Mr. Beelzebub … ahem! I mean Shufen has headed to? Earlier in the morning, he seemed quite relaxed but then suddenly he changed saying that he has important things to look after today and he won't be accompanying us? Is everything going well at the company? Or is there an issue because of the happenings from the recent days?"
She asked, not forgetting that though things were solved, still they were bound to leave its lingering effects behind.
Du Fan looked at the lady through the rear mirror again before shaking his head in denial. "At the company, everything is fine, Young Madam. Though I have no position to check things there, I have got ears in every corner to know the basics. And according to my sources inside, everything is fine. You don't have to worry about it. Young Master will not let anyone cause problems against you".
He said and hearing him, Li Xue nodded with understanding. Of course, she knew with Mr. Beelzebub around, there would be no trouble for them. But that was not for what she was concerned about. Rather what she was concerned about was them causing trouble for the man.
"Then where did your Young Master leave so early with his Secretary? He didn't even take you along? Will he not miss you?" Li Xue said, trying to crack a humorous conversation.
The driver smiled when he heard her. Still keeping his curl in politeness, he said, "Since Secretary Gao is following him, there is nothing to worry about. Furthermore, Young Master has asked me to follow you and little young miss from now on. So you will be seeing me more often around".
"Asked us to follow me? Then who would be taking care of him? Don't say Mr. Secretary would be having an increase in the workload?" The woman asked in a surprised tone but her voice tuned more like intrigue towards the end. "Don't say this sudden decision was because of what happened yesterday?"
"…" Du Fan didn't say anything but his silence revealed it well.
"Seriously! That's too much. I will talk to him later. He can't bully people around like this." She said feeling a little bad for Gao Fan. Knowing his work profile, she could already guess the workload on his shoulders, and this sudden increase because of her would only make it more hard for him.
Du Fan looked from the front. The concern for the people was evident in the eyes of the woman. "Young Madam, yesterday, Young Master was really very much concerned for you two. And my appointment around you is just his concern. So the next time if something like this happens and he is not near reach then I could come to your help and reach him out in time. He doesn't want you to stress and struggle on your own."
He said and in his words, Li Xue did not know what else to say. A curl of contentment covered her lips as she realized how damn lucky she got in this world with having just one person in his life. She never thought of such a life in the past. And now that she has got it, she couldn't dare to be too confident about it as well.
"If it is like that, then I think I would have to trouble you, Mr. Driver. Please look well after me, so that your Young Master doesn't get too stressed thinking about me and my troubles". She said and at the front, the driver nodded with a promise written in his gesture.
"Don't worry, Madam.. I would always do my best to not disappoint you and Young Master."
