Chapter 267 - Queen of tomorrow.

After giving the desired treatment to Feng Yi Lan, Dr Collin has to reluctantly move out to look after some other pending patients. But before leaving he wished that when he returns, he get to see this beautiful lady along with Ms Feng so that he could get a chance to pursue her.

"Yi Lan, since you are already treated, I think I should go and make some pending calls", Qi Shuai said, trying his best to not get Li Xue\'s attention towards him, though he knew that it was something inevitable.

All this while, Li Xue\'s attention was totally on Yi Lan, so she has yet to see the man sitting beside her or more like sitting almost behind her friend. When she saw, she felt like she was not seeing the same person whom she had seen a few days back. The man looked a lot calm, matured and composed as if he had totally changed personality.

But what was the reason behind this change? She had no idea. Her eyes trailed to look at the tight grip her friend was sharing with him. There were traces of pain between both of them. Though the pain they shared looked the same, she knew the reasons must have been different behind.

Several unreasoned stories seemed to be jumping in front of Li Xue\'s known eyes about which she wanted to ask but … the situation and the place both were weird for her to make any noise.

"Did I ask you to keep me company? You stayed behind on your own will. If not you, then Su Fai would have accompanied me. Who asked you to come?" Feng Yi Lan said, without understanding why he was asking her permission suddenly? Not like he asked her before taking the decisions for both of them in the past.

The man did not say anything, he just gestured to the lady to look at his arms which she was still clutching tightly with her might. She might have not asked him to stay but both her actions and stubborn attitude has let him know her reluctance to let him go.

When Yi Lan realized her involuntary actions, she coughed off to relieve her embarrassment and quickly loosened her hold on his arm.

\'Yi Lan, what exactly were you thinking while holding him like this? You really don\'t care about bringing embarrassment to yourself\' she chided herself and then said with all arrogance, "Who wants to hold you? It must be you who would have deliberately made me hold you like this, or else I am not a person to hold someone I don\'t feel close to".

Li Xue raised her at her friend\'s special attitude and Qi Shuai smiled at her to shrug off the awkwardness.

"Director Qi!" Li Xue too smiled and greeted, knowing best about the attitude she should carry in a situation.

Nodding his head, Qi Shuai too responded, "Xiao Xue, I will leave Yi Lan to you now. I still have to make some calls back in the office since today neither me nor Shufen has gone to work. I will have to look at everything being away from the place."

Li Xue nodded, giving a polite understanding and the Director did not waste another minute to make his way out from the room.

Once he left, Li Xue turned to look at her friend whose eyes were also looking the way of exit. "What, Li Xue? Why are you giving me that face? It is making me feel like I have committed some type of crime in which I have not included you"

"Because darling you have indeed committed a crime. You have kept a secret away from me. I can sense it. Quickly tell me. Come on, fast, fast, fast!" Li Xue said as she took a seat in front of Feng Yi Lan.

But Yi Lan simply shook her head in denial. "Haha … Li Xue, you are reading too much into it! There is nothing such!" Saying this she simply avoided her eyes. There was nothing to tell, then what could she tell her?

"Am I? Really?" Li Xue asked, bending a little to catch Yi Lan\'s eyes red-handedly but when found the urgency of avoidance in her actions, she decided to stop herself from forcing her more about it.

"Okay, fine! I won\'t ask. Tell me when you feel like, okay?"

Feng Yi Lan nodded and then smiled saying, "Seems like my brother\'s overbearing attitude has still not influenced you. That\'s great!"

"Haha … he is not an overbearing type, Yi Lan" Li Xue laughed at her friend\'s selection of words. To her, Mr Beelzebub has never been the person like what the world defines him, rather he has been a very calm, sober and caring type.

Hearing her friend denying her words straightforwardly, Yi Lan could not help but roll her eyes. "That\'s something no one can believe. If you don\'t see him as an overbearing type, then sweetheart you are too na?ve for this world. Believe me!"

"…" Li Xue did not know how she should respond to her words. Was she truly na?ve? Or was there something she really did not know about Feng Shufen yet?

To say that Li Xue was na?ve would not be right. She had just been too much protected by the Devil that she was still unknown to his true form or maybe will always remain unknown to that ruthless and merciless side of him.

Not like she will fear if comes to know about it. She knew that to remain on the position on the top unrivalled, one has to keep himself ruthless. She has been one in the past and will again become one in the future.

"Okay Li Xue, shove my brother aside! He is not that important", Yi Lan said, snapping Li Xue back from her trance and then continued, "For now, what\'s important is you, fulfilling your promise that you made to me."

"Though I am getting a weird air from your excitement, still tell me what should I do for you \'My Highness\'?"

"Omooo … Don\'t call me \'Your Highness\' when you are going to be the \'Queen\' of tomorrow", Yi Lan shook her head, rejecting Li Xue\'s word and making her shrunk a little more back in hesitation.
