"Since you said that she is my daughter, who else do you think could be her mother?" Feng Shufen asked and at his question every reporter when to get buried in the depth of silence. Though the previous question that was asked was a bit pricky, none has taken it in the wrong way. But now that they are hearing the man cross-questioning them like this, they couldn't avoid but feel like they have offended someone they shouldn't.
Their bodies trembled and they didn't dare to raise their gaze up to look at Feng Shufen. Though this was their first time meeting him, they all knew the unforgettable rule of not offending him. Yet now that they feel like they have offended him, they couldn't dare to think of the consequences that could come their way.
Feng Shufen's eyes scanned around once more as he added in a more stricter tone. "Except for one lady that's with me at the moment, none has the ability or right to bear the kids who would gain recognition from me." He said and his words were a shocking declaration for the whole country.
Saying his words, he didn't stay. Wrapping his arms protectively around Li Xue, he took her away, keeping her safely beside him so that none could see her face.
Li Xue was even taken aback by those words. They were the sincerest words she has ever heard in her life or more like to say that those words were one of most sincerest promises Mr. Beelzebub has made to her.
Tilting her head a little to look up at the face of the man, Li Xue smiled as she thought of the counts of hearts that would be getting broken today. But for some reason, she couldn't feel bad about it. Maybe because things were so much in her favor that she was feeling hundreds of butterflies in her stomach.
Lost in the trance, she was soon led away into another elevator and her thoughts were snapped off when heard its door dinging close.
"Huh? Weren't the elevators out of service?" Li Xue asked, looking around a bit in dumbfoundedness, before turning to look at Feng Shufen in askance.
"They were serviced when I reached you." Feng Shufen said and hearing him say that Li Xue nodded with a hum.
Now that she thinks of it, she wanted to slap her head. Earlier, how could she dumbly say that there was no way left? If not a way left then did she think Mr. Beelzebub to be teleported to her? Of course, he would have taken another elevator.
She shrugged her shoulders at her thoughts when suddenly heard Feng Shufen saying something from the side. "Here, take this. From the next time use this instead." He said and Li Xue looked at the metal electronic card he was passing to her.
Smiling, she shook her head. "I already had that. Last time, Director Qi gave one to me. But since your personal elevator was in service today, I took the general elevator instead. Sorry, if I caused you the problem. I just wanted to surprise you."
"Surprise me?" Feng Shufen raised his brows and Li Xue nodded, pressing her lips with a small smile.
"Yes, by coming here." She replied but then rubbing the corners of her ears added, "But I never thought that I would cause so much trouble." She could see the man was upset about something and as far as she knew him she could tell it was related to the question the media reporters had asked him.
Even knowing the cause, at the moment she could not think of a way to lighten his mood. But still fiddling her brain cells all well she was thinking of a way when she heard him say something that made her raise her brows in surprise.
"I liked the surprise." Feng Shufen said and Li Xue's eyes at once snapped to look at him in astonishment.
"Huh? Did you say you like it?" She asked and the man nodded. "I thought you were upset regarding the trouble."
"I was upset thinking of the way they questioned regarding you. I was upset thinking what would have happened if I had delayed reaching you by a moment? What I feared was seeing you nervous like that around me, not you causing trouble for me." Feng Shufen said and it was then Li Xue remembered that previously for a moment, she had gotten nervous and clenched on the suit jacket of the man.
"That … I was just fearful of stirring trouble for you." She said, downing her eyes with hesitation.
"You seem to forget every time. Nothing about you or WeiWei is trouble for me." He said before getting near to wrap her in his embrace. Li Xue smiled at his assurance before nodding a well. Not just his words, even his actions from today proved it to her.
"Aye, did they capture my face earlier?" Suddenly remembering, Li Xue asked, before pushing a little to look at the man.
Feng Shufen looked at and shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know. I tried to protect you well." He said and something between his words didn't seem right.
Li Xue's brows furrowed as she asked, stepping back and putting her hands on her hips. "Hey, Mr. Beelzebub, are you going to ask Gao Fan to remove that news from everywhere? Just tell me you are going to do that." She asked and the man didn't reply to her, instead went to ponder over it for a moment.
After a long while, he said, "I don't have any such plans in my thoughts. Why do you think I would do something like that?"
Li Xue's brows wrinkled more at his words as taking a step, she squinted her eyes on him. "You … Mr. Beelzebub, what do you mean by that?"
Feng Shufen remained nonchalant as he simply said, "I don't want my first news segment to get deleted from the internet.. Especially when it is about announcing our relationship officially."
