Chapter 159 - Order from the lady of the house.

As the door slid open, Li Xue felt stumped seeing the two people standing outside. Her eyes flew at once to see the man standing beside her. What was he planning now? She wanted to ask him to tell her all at once but then again that question has a risk to bear and she was not ready for it.

Reverting her eyes back at the people standing out the door, Li Xue plastered a welcoming smile on her lips as she greeted, "Ahh!! Ms Kim. It\'s really nice to see you here. How are you? Please come inside".

Saying her polite greetings, Li Xue stepped aside to give a little way for the guests to enter but suddenly a low grumbling of complaints came into the scene. "Ayee!! Sister – in – law … I mean Xiao Xue, this is not fair. You didn\'t greet me. Am I not invited here. Or have I not reached your line of consideration yet?" Qi Shuai said, getting on his usual childish whiny mode.

Standing outside was none other than Kim Ryan and Qi Shuai. Ryan was smiling before but the moment she found Li Xue at the door, her smile got stiffened, more as if she was not expecting to see her here.

Li Xue shook her head internally, deepening the smile of her lips. This overdramatic Director never fails to prove his level of childishness. "How can I do that? Pardon my impoliteness, Director Qi. Please come in" she said and then using her hand, she gestured to them to come inside.

"Hehe … I knew Sister – in – law likes me more," Qi Shuai said and without holding any formality made his way in, not caring that the host and hostess of the evening were still at the door. "Ahh! So this is what people call a house under a woman\'s care. So beautiful and homey!"

Qi Shuai complimented as he walked more inside, opening his arms wide in air as if he was taking in the air of peace and freedom. Li Xue was speechless looking at him getting in his overdramatic zone. She took her steps closer to Mr Beelzebub and leaning on him, she asked more in a whisper "Is this his first time visiting you at your place? Didn\'t he come here last time too?"

Feng Shufen did not say anything. He just looked at her and smirked. His eyes made her know the reason. \'This is your charm, my dear wife\'. Reading his eyes, Li Xue instantly straightened herself, clearing her throat lightly. \'My bad! Why did I even ask in the first place?\'

When the people were busy with their own conversation and stories, none of them saw Ryan\'s expressions turning ugly. Though she was not invited to the dinner and has forced Qi Shuai to bring her, she never thought that she would be greeted in this way.

She has always boasted herself claiming to know her Shufen the best. But now seeing the man in front of her eyes, she simply could not be any more confident in her knowledge from years. The man who has never allowed anyone to come close enough in range of the air he breathed has actually allowed a woman so close to him and into his place.

Her fists got clenched at her sides as she witnessed the soft gaze of the man on the woman, which was not her.

When Li Xue felt someone\'s hard gaze at herself, her eyes moved to look at the woman, who was still standing at the door. "Ms Kim, is there any problem?" She asked, even after knowing the root cause of that tough gaze. If it had been some other woman then given to the situation of one-sided love, she would have shown her some sympathy but witnessing the crazy love of Ms Kim, she couldn\'t get any of such feelings.

"Ahhh haha … it\'s nothing. I am just not able to believe that Shuai has already started calling you Sister – in – law. I know that it\'s okay since you are Shufen\'s girlfriend. But still, it must be making you feel a little uneasy and awkward in front of everyone". When she saw the attention getting on herself, Ryan quickly composed herself back at her best form before answering Li Xue\'s question. Her eyes darted to look at the man to see if he would even care to spare a glance at her. But to her disappointment, Feng Shufen was too busy to even greet her.

The woman standing beside the man was not blind. Li Xue has seen the longing gaze of the woman that was trying her best to not get desperate in front of everyone.

That\'s the pique of cruelty, Mr Beelzebub! Could you please fulfil your responsibilities as a host? The guest is waiting for your greeting but you are just …

"Uneasiness! I doubt that Director Qi ever intended to bring that to me. Addressing me that way was a little new at first but in the end, there is something you just can\'t avoid. It comes along with the decisions you make", as she said her eyes went again to look at Feng Shufen, standing beside him. Her gaze was soft and plain but it was giving hints of endearment.

Same as her words, her eyes and smile were also being diplomatic behind. Other\'s eyes and ears would not have caught the real meaning behind her words but Feng Shufen has caught everything in just one go. He knows well what move she has played. While complying to her promise of being a girlfriend in front of others, she has not hesitated in clarifying him, her reasons behind the act.

But does that matter to him? No, not at all! Her drawing boundaries were not going to stop him in any way. He has already made his mind to go all out to make her heart accept him.

"Oh … yes, you are right. I was just saying for your sake, not like I have any problem with that", Ryan said. Haste was getting quite evident in her tone. "Shufen, I came to visit you. Won\'t you greet me?" Not able to take the ignorance anymore, she finally made her presence known to the man on her own.

"Sorry I didn\'t know that you would be coming here. That\'s why I failed to notice. But it\'s good to see you here. Come in" Feng Shufen said his words, without giving any care to how rude and mean he sounded. His eyes went to give a look at his friend who has got himself already settled inside the living room. When he felt the Devil\'s gaze at himself, Qi Shuai quickly pulled up the magazine from the front to hide behind.

Feng Shufen\'s words instantly made Ryaan\'s eyes welled up in embarrassment. Biting her lips to suppress her sobs, she asked "Shufen, are you saying that I am not invited here? Should I leave?"

The man just turned to look at her, not bothering to give any response; as if asking her to find the answer on her own. This man was truly overbearing. Li Xue really felt bad inside. A guest was still a guest; they should be respected! Not able to take the scene anymore, she interjected, "Ms Kim, you are just overthinking. Shufen loves to mess things up. He doesn\'t mean anything like that. Don\'t mind him, just come in"

Though Li Xue has said all these, Ryan still waited for the man\'s words. Getting the things exactly how it was coming out, Li Xue pinched Feng Shufen\'s arm lightly. Her eyes commanded him something with slight hints of fierceness in it.

Looking at her like that, the man smirked and finally obliged. "It\'s an order from the lady of the house. Come in and have dinner with us"
