Chapter 779 - Hard to conceal cough and love.
Qi Shao Jin\'s expression got twisted when he saw Qi Shuai and Feng Yi Lan together. "I have set you up with the elder daughter of the Liam family. Come home and meet her once, so that we could proceed with the wedding, without wasting any more time".
It\'s said that it\'s hard to hide cough and love. Even if Feng Yi Lan was adamant to not accept her feelings for Qi Shuai out loud, to onlookers just a glance of them together was enough to let them know their heart feelings. And that was the reason that made the old man blurt out his real intentions without any second thought.
Feng Yi Lan\'s expression froze. Her hands that were holding onto Qi Shuai went cold at once and the man could also feel that. His eyes shifted to look at her, only to find her getting deep in her own thoughts and ponderings. He could see her making assumptions. But the time was not for asking her assumptions but to ask the shameless man – what made him think that he could decide for him?
Qi Shuai turned to look at the man, who was standing confidently. Like he was sure that in no way he would be rejecting his proposal. For a moment, Qi Shuai wanted to laugh at his confidence but then keeping his severity in check, he asked in a slow but daring voice, "And what made CEO Qi think that I will be ready to do according to your arrangements?"
Qi Shao Jin\'s expression changed as his gaze hardened. "It\'s not according to my arrangements but for the wish that your grandfather has always had for you. He has always wanted you to marry a nice girl from a nice family who has a clear and legitimate background".
He said and his words weren\'t able to conceal their real meaning within. Feng Yi Lan heard it well, and so did the other three people present in the room. Li Xue\'s fists clenched, while Feng Shufen\'s expressions also turned severe.
But before the two could react, Qi Shuai did. His hands held onto Feng Yi Lan\'s to pause her thoughts when he felt her slipping away without coming to anyone\'s notice. Then without saying a word to her, he turned all his attention to the man to break off all his delusions at once.
"Deads never run after money, CEO Qi. And further ahead, why do I have to settle my life with the elder daughter of the Liam family? Where have your useful sons gone? Don\'t say you have booked them for some other profitable business marriages." He said and the old man\'s face proved how right his words and thoughts were.
Qi Shuai smiled. His curl of lips mocking the man to his core. "Sorry for ruining your greedy plans, CEO Qi but I never planned in my life to wed for business, especially for the profit of your business. So, you can proceed to find some other scapegoat. As for me, …" He paused, turning to look at the woman by his side with a warm, passionate smile, before continuing, "I have plans of chasing the girl who has got my heart."
"You …" Qi Shao Jin at once flew in rage. But his rage had zero effect on anyone.
Without giving any importance to the man standing at a distance, Qi Shuai said, looking straight in the eyes of Feng Yi Lan. "Never try twice to do what you were planning to do today. I like you more when you react the way you did in the case of BaoBao. When you know what belongs to you and only you."
Li Xue smiled as she clapped, walking forward to give her comments and congratulations to the couple.
Looking at them getting busy, the old man has no other choice but to fume and walk off. But just when he was about to get out of the room, Feng Shufen walked to him and whispered, "Dare the next time and you will know how capable your existence is in this world!"
Qi Shao Jin pulled his face away to look at his expressions and the evident iciness in his eyes was enough to warn him of the dire consequences that would come his way. Huffing, he left without turning back.
Back in the room, after having a decade of silence, finally, the little head again livened up. Sprinting her way up to the bed, she quickly climbed over it to ask her Uncle in a serious tone, that was full of concern. "Uncle Cutie, are you fine now?"
Qi Shuai smiled looking at the fluff ball of energy. Getting back to his bubbly form, he nodded, "Of course, my munchkin! I am fine. What do you think will happen to your Uncle Cutie?"
The little girl shook her head while blinking her eyes innocently. "Nothing could happen to Uncle Cutie. But WeiWei was scared seeing you getting angry before. Even Aunt Yi Lan was scared for you". She said, looking at her Aunt with all the empathy she got in herself.
"Mhmm. I see. So your Aunt Yi Lan was scared for me?" Qi Shuai asked again, his eyes looking meaningfully at Feng Yi Lan and Little WeiWei smiled and nodded.
"Who was scared? I was just thinking of keeping you in check so that your hospital stay doesn\'t get any longer. After all, next week Aurora has its season launch which I need to make perfect" She said, gesturing to Li Xue to come with her.
Li Xue could only suppress a smile and nod. But before following her out, she stopped to support and cheer up the man. "Don\'t lose hope. The shell has almost cracked. Just a right last blow and she will be all yours. So buckle up and think." She said winking at him and leaving to discuss the things. The fashion launch was at the door and truly, they have got a lot to discuss.
Behind, after they left, Feng Shufen went back to take the seat. Qi Shuai looked at him and said with severity, "He was not the one behind it. Who else could you think that be?"
