Chapter 275 - You were right, Shufen. I am an incapable one.

"Do you think it will be fine to leave Yi Lan with Director Qi? I mean she was so reluctant to be with him", Li Xue asked, suddenly taking all her scattered attention to the man who was sitting beside her, casually driving the car.

Hearing her words, he nodded in agreement. And his movement instantly made Li Xue raise her brows at him. Just a simple nod! Did he really think that it could give her the answer she was asking for?

"Shufen!"

And that name on her lips was all that took the man to pull the car up at halt. Not like it was her first time addressing him with his name but he knew whenever she does, it demands his full attention. Then when her demands come, how can he not fulfil it. Of course, he has to fulfil her every word.

"Don\'t worry too much about her. She is no more a kid and you are not her mother" he said, as his eyes turned to soothe her but this time it was not the thing Li Xue was asking for. She had questions for which she needed answers.

"I don\'t need to be her mother to show my concern for her and for the moment, that\'s not the thing I am asking. I wanted to …"

Before she could even complete her question, the man answered her like he was known to the question all along. "Yi Lan and Shuai will be fine together. You don\'t need to worry about them if that stresses you out. Shuai has always been there taking care of Yi Lan since she was in high school and has also been with her when she was in States for 3 years"

3 years together in the States!

Li Xue\'s eyes went stiff for a moment when she finally pieced two and two together. The man that dared to cause so much pain to Yi Lan was none other than Director Qi Shuai. For a second, the idea did not make sense to her. But then again sometimes there can be worse scenarios taking place around the world.

"I am telling you, you don\'t have to stay back here with me. I can manage it alone", Feng Yi Lan said, as she saw the man adjusting her things on the table at the side

Qi Shuai did not respond to her words. He made it look like he has simply not heard anything. This was the only solution he has come up with, to cope with the pain of hatred piercing his heart.

When the woman saw him like this she almost scoffed at him. "Are you simply going to behave like I am not present here, Director Qi? Sorry for taking away your favourite dialogue but I can\'t stop myself from saying, that \'I expected a lot better from you\'. Don\'t you feel so too?"

She said and then let out a chuckle of pure mockery at him. Qi Shuai could only look at her. Who could he blame when he knew that it was him at the fault?

The girl who has always been so shy and adorable around him before … has now totally become heartless and cruel to his feelings. He could not blame anyone for it when he knew that it was only him to be blamed.

"Yi Lan, I will call Dr Collin one last time to take a check on you. Then you can take your rest all comfortably" He said, turning to make his way out from the room but his movements halted when felt her fingers wrapping around his wrist to stop him.

"I said, I no longer need you around me. I have learnt my lessons about immaturity and over-dependency. So as per the conclusion, I have drawn from those learnings is that I have to restrain you from coming near me. So please leave me alone, Director Qi" She said, looking at him deeply.

"And if you feel that leaving me here alone, you would break some bro – code with my brother then I assure you there is nothing like that happening. I, myself will let my Brother know that I have forced you to leave me alone even when you did not want to" She added.

Qi Shuai looked at her for some time, taking in all the hatred and frustration she was willingly giving to him. Maybe this way, she will ease off the pain a little bit.

But will that really help her? Something inside him was going against this idea. Maybe he was taking the things more as per his consideration. For a change, he should try to look for the other side of the coin too. A side where the thoughts of Feng Yi Lan was given more consideration.

"What if I don\'t want to leave you alone? What if I am regretting the past more than you could even think, will you still ask me to go?" His words rolled out before even he could realize it. And it also made Yi Lan dumbstruck about her surroundings.

She was not sure if she had really heard him say something like that or was that just some of her illusion.

To confirm her ears, she asked doubtfully, "What do you mean?"

But Qi Shuai was in no less shock himself. Those words were not in his plans, to begin with. Though the thoughts were present in his mind, still that was not the way he was thinking to present it in front of the woman.

Shaking his head off, he said, "Let\'s talk about it after Dr Collin checks your ankle one more time. Let me go so that I can call him here for you".

He said and then removing her wrapped finger from his wrist, he quickly strolled out. He really needed to confirm his thoughts before he appeared again in front of her.

When got outside, he pulled out his phone and immediately dialled a contact on his phone. "Shufen, I think you got me right. I am really an incapable one. I – I don\'t think I can hold all this any longer".
