Back in the room, after helping Li Xue in the bath, Feng Shufen wrapped her up in a bathrobe before bringing her back to the room. Gently placing her on the bed, he went to grab the blow drier for her. Though it was the time of spring and the weather was slowly and slowly getting moderate, he would still not take the risk of her catching cold.
Getting the blow drier connected, he became too meticulous in his work, seeing the details of every strand of her hair. But in the process, he made sure that he didn't touch her even a bit. In her such state, his slight touch could also bring her discomfort and in no way, he would want her like that.
Feeling the warm air blowing over herself, soon Li Xue felt her consciousness, getting back. Her eyes weakly opened as she tried to recognize the person in front of her. She still had remembrance of the person she saw the last. And when she opened her eyes again, she wasn't disappointed.
The beautiful features of the man were all too soothing for her to look at. Even though with her body burning like that she was feeling the visit of hell, she was still satisfied with him beside her.
"D-Did anything happen?" She weakly asked. Her voice still slurring under the effect of an aphrodisiac but after the bath, she was feeling a bit better. "Your eyes looked cold as if ready to pierce someone or command for war."
When heard her voice, Feng Shufen's eyes went to look at her and the answer of her askance was already visible in his gaze. "You still ask that?"
Li Xue nodded with a hum. "O-Of course, I need to ask you this. I-I was unconscious and have no idea what happened that made you upset like this. Did someone bully you? If yes, then wait for me to recover from this drug, I will avenge you."
"…" Feng Shufen didn't say anything. He knew what the woman was intending to do. But did she really think he would let go of today's happening just like that? He would never until those people curse and regret their own life.
Realizing the man's determination well, Li Xue didn't revoke his decision much but instead thought to begin something casual to ask. "You reached me on time. Were you around somewhere?"
"Mhm. I was attending a meeting here. Since I have promised to pick you up later, I have booked a room here for the time." He said and it was only then she came to know about it. Otherwise all this time she only thought that he might be somewhere away, busy with work.
Earlier she was thinking why he was all-time around her. But now she really wanted to thank him for being there, otherwise, she couldn't dare to think.
"Thank you for being around. Otherwise …" Her voice broke as she got reminded of what could have happened with her tonight. Tears welled up in her eyes as she could no longer hold them in, letting them roll down her cheeks. She still couldn't believe the woman who birthed her could be this cruel. Last time being publicly abandoned by her, she thought that it was the limit of her cruelty. But today, it simply crossed every limit.
Feng Shufen saw her crying and his fist clenched. He wanted to soothe her cries but was hesitant.
When Li Xue saw her like that, she was confused. Sobbing, she looked at him and asked, "What happened? Won't you say anything?"
The man looked at her and sincerely said, "I would never let the same happen again. " His words sounded like a promise which Li Xue would never doubt. But it still confused her.
She looked at the man as slowly tried to get up to ask, "Just that? I thought my weak condition deserved a soothing hug from you."
"…" Feng Shufen looked at her and didn't say anything. But his no-word reply was enough to make Li Xue understand what he was hesitating about. Still, even in a situation like this, does he have to hesitate like this?
Almost slapping her head, she looked at the man to say, "Mr. Beelzebub. I am fine now. You can hug me." Even though her tone was weak, she sounded really comfortable. And that confidence was not just on the surface, rather she was really feeling the same inside.
Maybe it was the bath that has helped her to recover. Though she could still feel the residue of the drug inside, it didn't seem serious anymore. Otherwise, how was she even able to keep herself like this with Feng Shufen sitting in front of her eyes? With his qualifications, he would have surely amplified the effects of it.
But since nothing like that was happening to her, mustn't that mean that she was now recovering from the drug she was injected before.
And that was the point where she had overestimated herself. A bit too much to think that she has good self control.
Feeling inside all confident in her control, instead of forcing the man, she reached out herself to wrap her arms around his neck to take his hug. And that contact at the moment was more than enough to flame up her desires.
Her throat burned as she scooted more closer to him to breathe in his scent. And his personal fragrance suddenly felt more tantalizing, very more powerful than other days. Or else why was she feeling like she was losing herself? Definitely, she has overestimated her strength at the moment.
How did she even forget that she was still drugged and her senses of touch and smell were even more sensitive?
Or was this a trap of the Devil to get her wrapped willingly? Her lips formed a pout as breathing his scent, she said, "It's a torture, Mr.. Beelzebub. How could you do this to me? Is it fun to watch me like this?"
