Chapter 169 - Second initiative of the day.
Li Xue lost her composure when she heard Ryan mentioning Li Wei\'s name again in the conversation. All this time she was suppressing herself just for the sake of Feng Shufen. For the sake of friendship, he shares with her. She has given her a chance but that does not mean she liberated her to say whatever she wants.
Fearing that in her own anger, she would do something outrageous and would embarrass Feng Shufen, she put all her anger in slamming her hand hard on the dining table making the glass clank on the floor. She didn\'t even realize that her hand got pierced with the shards of glasses until she felt the hot liquid oozing out her skin.
Her warning rang in the air making Ryan feel its seriousness. A shiver ran through her spine when her eyes caught the fierceness of her amber ones. That was enough to make her go out of words and reasons in an instant.? "Li Xue, you …" she wanted to say more but at this moment strong footsteps were heard from a distance.
And then came a cold voice, that held some concern for a particular someone. "Xiao Xue, what happened here?" That voice even made Li Xue go silent and still for a second. In her rage, she has almost forgotten that Mr Beelzebub has just left the dining hall and went to the balcony to attend a call.
Seeing her friend arrive back, no one was as happy as Qi Shuai. Tears of happiness instantly got on the edge of his eyes like a kid would have got in his eyes when he would have seen her mother back after losing her once. \'Shufen, finally you are here. See, what is your wife up to? She almost gave me roller coaster ride of emotions in just a span of a few minutes\'
\'Oh shit! I messed the things\', Li Xue cursed internally, not knowing how to answer the man\'s question now. \'I can\'t let Mr Beelzebub knows what happened here …\' She was raking her brain cells to think of a way to escape but just opposite to her, Ryan was all happy to see the man back.
Her eyes instantly welled up to showcase how much she had been bullied here. Jumping her way to him, she tried to hook her arms with his but the man didn\'t allow her near him.? Dodging her arms, he simply looked at the front and walked past her. Gazing both at his woman and also at his friend, who was sitting there all timid and scared.
Once again getting the dejection from the man she had hoped for care, Ryan\'s eyes could not hold her tears any longer. Big drops rolled down her cheeks as words dipped in her internal pain resounded at the scene. "Shufen … This Li Xue has …"
But before she could tell any further, Li Xue interjected with all her might. Sprinting her way towards Feng Shufen, she threw herself onto him as she has never done. But this was important this time. She knew well how important it was for her to trap Mr Beelzebub into her trap.
\'Please, please, just this time. Favour me over him. Make my actions go as per my plans please\' Praying to her stars she leapt at the man, taking him with surprise. "Shufen, it\'s nothing. Just a little scratch. You don\'t need to worry. I am all fine, believe me. Ms Kim is just over exaggerating things. Getting overly concerned for me"
Ryan gritted her teeth when she saw how easily the man allowed Li Xue to wrap herself around him when he had just dodged her touch. She wanted to let him know the true colours of the woman he was believing blindly but Li Xue was simply not giving her any chance.
There was no doubt that Feng Shufen was taken aback with Li Xue\'s such an out of the blue move. This was her second initiative on the same day, something he has really not expected. For a moment he really did not realize what he should do or say next until he heard the word \'scratch\'.
Raising his eyebrows at her, he asked. Hints of utmost concern visible on his brows. "Scratch?" His eyes looked around the floor only to find broken glass pieces and also a small shard with some blood on it. His eyes turned as dark as thunder clouds when he realized all the possibilities of the scene. Without taking any time, it turned to send threatening glares to both people in the room, Qi Shuai and Ryan.
When caught the dark glare of his friend, Qi Shuai really felt unjust. Was he really blaming him for this? He was the victim here. He was the one who had suffered the fear and anxiousness over everything. Now, why was he to be blamed?? Can\'t he be allowed to have some sympathy? This was definitely not fair. Why did he become the scapegoat at the end of every scene?
Ryan was also taken aback when she felt the blazing glare of the man pass through her. For a moment she felt her heart becoming dead out of fear, not responding at all inside her chest. Did she do something she shouldn\'t? Fear rose in her thoughts, making her forget everything she had thought to tell the man.
But the moment Feng Shufen\'s gaze reached Li Xue, it became all soft and gentle like nothing else in this world. Then moving his eyes all carefully at her, he tried to find if she was fine or not.
Soon his eyes caught her one hand behind with an expression of nothingness on her face. "Let me see it!" he asked, trying to reach her hands.
"Shufen, I told you, it\'s nothing. I am all fine. There is nothing to check. Come on, you have not eaten anything. Let me serve you a good plate first" she said avoiding his efforts making an escaping excuse. But the man did not let her go. Taking a gentle hold of her hands, he said again "Just show me first and I will decide if it is something punishable or not"
Huh? What punishment? Li Xue was confused by his words while the other two in the room did not know what else they could do. Qi Shuai downed his head waiting to hear the death decree from the devil while Ryan felt that like she had lost everything. If after today the man pushed her aside, then she will have nothing left in her life.
