Li Xue's eyes at once darted to look around, embarrassed at the talk of Feng Shufen. She cared that if people had heard him say that, what would they think? But when she looked around, she was slightly surprised to see that everyone around seemed very casual.
When her heart was beating fast in his affect, she almost forgot that those words were meant just for her. Even though each syllable rang deep in her ears all loud, his voice was all soft, making it impossible for anyone to hear.
Wasn't he a bit too naughty? Li Xue turned to look at Feng Shufen and her eyes grew small at him. And the moment, she did, the man smiled. She didn't understand his smile. Her brows furrowed in confusion and just when she would have asked him about it, he leaned in to answer the confusion of her heart.
"It's too late to think about it now. I won't let you run away now." He said, and even though the words came pretty soft to her ears, Li Xue's heart thumped hard against her chest. It felt the same as the warning that the Beast must have given to Belle.
"You ..."
Before Li Xue could chide him, Feng Shufen raised his brows at her, making her remember where they were standing at that moment. Darting his eyes, he made her follow his gaze, "Careful, Your Highness! The public has their eyes on you. Being the heiress of all, you can't act out of your conduct."
He said and looking at all, Li Xue could only seal her lips before slowly gritting out her words. "Mr. Beelzebub, aren't you acting too willful today? Did you eat some wrong doze before coming here?"
Feng Shufen looked at her and something in his eyes told Li Xue that it was not yet over. And her guess about him wasn't wrong. His lips moved again and it took a while for her to get the meaning of his next word.
Feng Shufen shook his head and then slowly murmured. "I haven't taken anything. I am keeping myself starved for a different meal." His voice came with such ease and softness as if he wasn't talking dirty rather was having a conversation about the weather.
Li Xue opened her mouth but then closed it, not getting what she should say. But just when she would have said anything, he spoke again, with utmost innocence. "I have arranged a lavish meal here. You will definitely love it later."
"Mr. Beelzebub, you ... You have definitely gone crazy. You ... I really feel like there has something been wrong with you. Otherwise, I can't be living delusion all the while." She said and the man shrugged her shoulders. And once again, Li Xue was speechless.
She would have spoken, but just at that time, a soft voice from the podium took all her attention. She turned to look and there it was no other but her little sweetheart standing. Beside her, there was Qi Shuai standing holding their other precious in his arms.
"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. I am Feng Wei, daughter of my Mama and princess of my Daddy Angel." WeiWei introduced herself and then turned to give a smile in the way of her mother. "Mama, you don't have to wait for my surprise anymore. WeiWei is here to unveil it now."
Li Xue smiled and then nodded. Seeing her mother nod, WeiWei turned back to face the mike. Since her height was still not up to what the podium required, a chair was kept there for her assistance. But Feng Shufen was not satisfied with it. So, the moment his gaze matched Qi Shuai's, he asked him to look after her and the friend nodded knowing his concern.
But Gao Fan was more meticulous. Coming to the stage, he said, "Director Qi, please look after your master. I will take care of young miss. President Feng has asked me to look after her safety." Saying that he at once took the stance behind her.
Qi Shuai gazed at the secretary before turning to look at Feng Shufen. He was not speechless because he had expected the father bear to be over possessive of his kids. But he was kind of surprised looking at the stance with which Gao Fan stood there. His words didn't sound like a momentary promise but rather an oath taken on the stake of his life.
"Ladies and gentlemen, since we all have gathered here for the wedding of my parents, being the lucky children to witness their wedding, I would like to take the opportunity of being the oath proposer to the couple. Aunt Yi Lan says that I am strongest knot that ties Mama and Daddy Angel together, so if I propose the oaths to them, it would be more special. Will it not be, Mama?"
Speaking her reason out, the little head once again turned to look at her parents. Although she had asked her Mama to confirm her words, her eyes also met with her Daddy Angel asking him the same.
Li Xue turned to Feng Shufen with a known smile and then turning back to their daughter, they nodded together. "We will be more than honored to have you as our oath proposer, dear. Please proceed."
Li Xue said and the little one smiled at her. Then she turned to look at the audience before looking back at Gao Fan.
Gao Fan understood her cue and nodded to her before turning to look at one of the guards standing there. And soon, a maid climbed up the stage and brought a tray with a card paper rolled with a red ribbon.
Gao Fan took the card paper from the tray before handing it to the little one. His actions looking all devoted to the little girl as if he has already accepted the future. "Little Young Miss!"
Little WeiWei smiled before taking the paper in her hand. "Thank you, Uncle Secretary." Then turning to the stage, she pulled the ribbon. "With everyone's present, we will begin the most auspicious ceremony of the wedding."
