Chapter 340 - Could not afford being saint around you.
After getting everything needed for the dinner, soon the family returned back to Little Carnations. And as said by Feng Shufen earlier, a new refrigerator twice the size of the old one was already kept well equipped in the kitchen, ready to use form.
"You know that was really not needed. You are simply spoiling her" Li Xue said to Shufen as she saw the staff leaving after bowing their heads one by one.
"It was the first modification my wife wanted at my place after she came to live with me. How do you expect me to ignore her suggestion?" The man said, folding his sleeves languorously. His tone, getting all nonchalant as he moved to take his steps inside the kitchen.
"Huh? When did you read something like that?" Li Xue asked, as she also followed the man behind. "Yes, I accept that I have suggested to ignore today\'s grocery shopping but that never meant that I asked you to bring a brand – new refrigerator at your place. So, you better not push the blame on my shoulders".
Shufen did not turn back to look at her but his lips tugged up to give a smirk. He continued taking his steps to the kitchen as he said, "Oh is that so? Don\'t worry, if not this place then you can fulfil your wish in the new house where we will soon be shifting to. You can recreate that mansion as you want, however, you want".
The woman was all dumbfounded. It like she was asking the question related to history and civics and the man was answering him in the language of economics. Saying \'ball\' when she was asking him what word comes with the letter \'A\'.
"Mr Beelzebub, can you not be like this for once? Do you want me to look down on myself, every time I talk with you? I am not as quick-witted as you to understand your language of mystery. So please keep it simple". Li Xue said like a sullen kid as she pulled her hands on her h.i.p.s, pausing at her place to look at the man.
Collecting all the ingredients efficiently from the shelves, the man soon turned around to get back to the working counter. Raising his brows at the woman he asked, feigning an innocent confusion on his face. "When did I talk in the language of mystery? Weren\'t my words have been all clear to your understanding? The words were quite simple and understandable, I thought so".
Li Xue at once squinted her eyes at the man as she stormed her steps towards him. Feng Shufen looked at her daring stance as he backed a little behind, following her approaching steps.
"Mr Beelzebub, if that\'s something simple and understandable then I am definitely all unknown to what people call mystery then. Now let me know fast what do you mean by \'soon shifting to a new house\'? Where are you sending us now? Hmm?" she asked. Before she could realize, her arms came forward caging him between herself and the counter.
Looking her like this Shufen was amused. She looked more and more like a mafia leader who was out to dominate the people of the city around to settle her deals.
"Quite interesting! I never knew that you have this side too. I must say, you can threaten quite well" He said, pausing in between his words only to gesture her to look at the position they were sharing at the moment and then continued, "But don\'t you feel that it will be better and interesting as you say if we switch our positions".
Li Xue\'s eyes went follow his grey orbs as she looked at the proximity and the position, she was sharing with him. Before she has not realized but now seeing, she could not deny that she was really standing at a cliff from where she could fall down at any instant.
Her one leg has subconsciously taken its comfortable space between his two legs, just down his fidus archates, who had always been a devoted follower of his true d.e.s.i.r.e and emotions in front of this exceptional woman of his life.?While her front was slightly leaning over him, making him dip his body a little backward at her submission.
\'No, no, no … why am I so comfortable around him that I, myself could not realize becoming a moth to walk in the hallway of fire\', she chided herself internally, biting her lower lip with slight disgrace.
Blinking her eyes a little, she was about to move back but the moment she did, a force pulled her forcing her towards the counter in an instant. She did not realize the severity of that force with the soft touch it left on her skin until she saw her hair flipping and flapping over her shoulders.
Before she knew, their positions where all switched to an extent where she no longer remembered that she was in dominance, a few seconds before.
"So, what do you think now? Isn\'t this more interesting then what it was before? Isn\'t this something you asked for before in the car?" he asked with a smug face.
"You are such a shameless … W-Who wanted this? At least I was not the one", Li Xue retorted back while her face got all red with embarrassment.
A peal of thunderous chuckle cracked in the air and Li Xue almost lost the count of her heartbeat. Her heart shuddered at his beat when heard him up this close.
"Were you not the one to want this??Then it\'s okay. Maybe it was me who has wanted this all-time long" he deadpanned, suddenly pausing his laughter and leaving Li Xue speechless.
"Truly Shameless!! Hmph!!" she snorted.
"If not me being shameless than without any say you would make me a full-time saint for my whole life long. And I don\'t think I can afford something like that around you", Feng Shufen said.

On the other side, sitting in a darkened room, Zheng Wenting was waiting for a call. Impatience was written all over his face. His patience was put to an end when his phone rang at the side table.
At once, he got off the bed to take the call. Cornering himself in the room, he asked, "Did you find out? Has Li Xue married to someone?"
"Sir, Ms Li Xue marital status is still single in governmental records but that record will be changing the next week. She has recorded an appointment in Civil Marriage Bureau, the next week!"
