Chapter 352 - Not one to follow his command.
Su Fai did not miss the slight glint of darkness that crossed in Qi Shuai\'s eyes. He was only waiting for him to react and as he had expected, he did.
People could always put a mask on their real self but there is no way in which they could keep their true emotions hidden for too long.
Su Fai lightly chuckled to himself as he made a note in his mind, \'Director Qi … Director Qi! When are you going to understand that hiding your true feelings will only bring you loss and regret? I have learnt these lessons a little late but would never want anyone to make the same mistake\'.
At the side, Feng Yi Lan\'s eyes went wide when she heard Su Fai\'s words. If not the cast in her ankle and concern regarding Li Xue in her mind, then she would have long pounced on him to let him know what wrong he was aiming for this time. But she could not be reckless with herself when Li Xue\'s comeback is already approaching at the door.
So, for the time being, she calmed herself by only forcing a death glare at him. How can he do this? Couldn\'t he see that things were not going right between her and the idiot man, standing by the door?
But then again when were the relations between her and that man has been, right?
Su Fai looked at her, smiled and simply shrugged his shoulders back in nonchalance. Feng Yi Lan looked at him and could only purse her lips in a straight line showing her disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e. Disappointedly, her eyes went back to the man, who was still standing by the door. Her eyes looked desperately at him as if trying to confess something to him but then her lips were giving its own tantrum of arrogance that was simply not giving in to the situation.
Her lips remained sealed as the desperation of her eyes made a compromise according to her stubborn, egoistic tantrum.
"Director Qi, why are you still standing at the door. Please come in. I know that you have been a guardian of Yi Lan for all these years. And I really respect you for that. Don\'t be formal with us, after all, you are not that old to not understand our crazy young love.
Forcing a smile over his lips, Qi Shuai shook his head as he took his steps inside the room. "No, no, not at all. And being formal with the people I have not known before is the basic code of manner I have followed for ages now. So, I cannot help but be a little restricted and formal before"
He paused with a friendly smile as his eyes looked between the duo in the room and then continued, "But now since I have known that you are the boyfriend of our little Yi Lan, it will only be fun if we three remain all friendly to each other". His tone was all normal, perfectly concealing the emotions which had never been hidden from the three people present in the room.
Though Su Fai has known that the couple in front of him has always loved to hide from each other but then again he was all confused how a person\'s personality could take a 360 degree to get on the other side of the planet Earth.
Yi Lan\'s eyes got stressed at Qi Shuai, as she heard him. His every word was giving her a piercing pain deep in her heart. She knew what that pain was for but she still decided to ignore the reality to get the escape that seemed to be perfect for her.
Nope, this time she would just save herself from committing the mistake she has made before. She would not let herself fall for this man again. But then again why was it hurting her so much? His words … Why was it still hurting her so much? Hasn\'t she already decided to move on from her infatuation?
"You are not my friend, Director Qi. So, there is no need to maintain any friendly relationship with us". Feng Yi Lan spat out. Her words came out all venomous for the man.
Qi Shuai\'s eyes became hard on the woman\'s face. "Yi Lan, we were …"
"We never have been anything, Director Qi. Please don\'t spread rumours here. I doubt people will see it in the wrong light". The woman said cutting him off before even she could get his point out. "By the way, why are you here, Director Qi? Any special reason?"
Qi Shuai looked at her for some time. Almost when it felt that he was not going to give any reply to her question, he said, "Nothing serious. I was here to see one of my friends who met with a serious accident a few days back. On the way out, I spotted you in this room so came by to ask how\'s your ankle?"
Su Fai could not suppress his chuckle at his reason. Letting out a soft sound, he said, "Director Qi, are you sure of your reason? I mean the orthopaedic department of this hospital is located in a different building away from the main one. How come on your way out, after seeing your friend take you several stories up in the next building?"
"Who said that I have to get to the main building to visit my friend" Qi Shuai retorted back the very instant the words Su Fai came to halt at the question mark. "In the accident, my friend got his leg broken. So, he was admitted to this orthopaedic department of the hospital".
Su Fai gave a nod of understanding to the man showing that his reason was quite acceptable but the smile on his pair of lips was clearly told that he was definitely not ready to buy that reason. "Oh! I see. But Director Qi, do you know why we are here?"
He asked, and then paused to take the reply in return. But as if the reply has never been his intention, he revealed himself, "We are here to ask the doctor to remove the cast from Yi Lan\'s leg."
"Her leg is not yet recovered. She would not take the cast off her legs now" Qi Shuai said in a firm voice as if it was not any suggestion but the command that was sent to follow. But was this a challenge for Yi Lan?
"I am not the one to follow your command, Director Qi. So, it would be only better if you don\'t try to rule over me" the answer was clear enough to let everyone understand.
