Chapter 828 - Adorably Overbearing.

Soon after letting WeiWei finish her bowl of ice cream, the man led her back to the room. Tucking her back inside her blanket, he asked her to sleep, and in no time the little girl drifted back to sleep as well.

Feng Shufen looked at her little sleeping figure and moved his hand to give a last gentle ??r?ss over her head for the night, before getting up to leave. After spending time like this with her, he was a lot better than before. Instead of having anxiousness, now his heart was a lot at calmness.

Walking to the door, he was about to step out of the room but paused to look back once more. Making sure of everything in place, he finally closed the door after him. But closing, just when he was about to turn and walk back to study, a voice from a distance halted him.

"Seems like you two enjoy the time more alone than with me around. Was it fun having ice cream secretly?" Li Xue asked with a smile as slowly, she saw the man turning on his heels to look at her.

"You haven\'t slept yet?" Feng Shufen asked, standing at his place while Li Xue took her walk to him.

She nodded. "I was sleeping until I heard two pairs of steps descending downstairs. It caught my subconscious mind and I came to check only to find you two enjoying yourself there".

"WeiWei was a bit peckish and she didn\'t want to disturb your sleep. So I helped her." The man explained and Li Xue just shook her head.

"You know you don\'t have to explain it to me. And also you don\'t have to feel upset for anything that was beyond your control." She said, looking into his eyes, before tiptoeing a little to peck his lips softly.

"…"

"I have heard your words earlier and believe me, what WeiWei said in reply was right. Everyone has a destined story. Our meeting like this was only decided after a long interval of five years, so it happened. I am already satisfied with that. And in the midst of that satisfaction, I have no time to think of the past. Furthermore, my memories from the past are not too beautiful to reminisce about. So who cares for those five years when you were not there beside us." Li Xue said, wrapping herself a little closer to the man.

"There are a few things that I cannot say to you now for some reasons, but …" thinking once more, the man said. Though he has no confidence in revealing the truth to her now, still he was against hiding it from her.

Li Xue tiptoed again and leaned to his one side to peck his cheeks this time, pausing him in his words. "I can wait patiently. Take your time, I am not running anywhere". She said and just those words were enough to make the man buy some time from himself. To put his guilt on hold for some time.

"Okay, you should go and sleep now." Feng Shufen said, tapping her head gently. But to his suggestions, Li Xue just shook her head in denial.

"Nope, accompany me to bed and also to sleep."

"I still have some work to read in the study. You go first, I will come later". Feng Shufen said again, giving a tender smile but Li Xue was adamant about not releasing him.

Shaking her head, she kept her arms wrapped firmly around him. "You have already been working for the whole day. Put the rest of the remaining things for tomorrow. Accompany me to the bed now and also I need to discuss so many things with you. In the coming week, I would need to go and attend the engagement of my ex. I need your suggestions to know what I should gift them for a happy life. I have no thoughts but I am sure you must have some suggestions."

"You want to ask me about the gift you want to take to their engagement?" Feng Shufen asked, raising his brows of amusement at her. And to his askance, Li Xue confidently nodded.

"Of course! If not you, then who else could suggest me. Let me tell you, I really admire your taste and preferences. So, I could only ask you."

At her words, Feng Shufen pinched the space between his brows. "You have really grown courageous to say that on my face".

"Huh? Have I not been the same from the beginning itself?" Li Xue asked, feigning a lack of understanding of his words but the next moment a small yelp escaped her lips as her arms went to wrap around his neck in fear of falling down while he carried her in his arms. "What are you doing?"

"Accompanying you to the room first then to sleep." Feng Shufen said before carrying her all the way through the corridor to the bedroom.

"But I could have walked by myself. Why are you carrying me like this?"

"So that I can think of a better suggestion for the gift". He said and in his words, Li Xue could not help but smile.

This man was very adorably overbearing in attitude. Something that she could never fail to like.

The next morning the sun rose with ease. After sending WeiWei off to school, Li Xue came back into the house only to find the team of chefs and maids standing in an order to seek her orders.

"Madam, your orders?"

"Where is Sister Margaret? Isn\'t she here?" Li Xue asked, her eyes scanning around to find the old lady around. And just as she asked, Sister Margaret came with her slow pace.

"Good morning, Madam. There was a little work in that backyard that got me busy. Sorry for getting late". She apologized and Li Xue just shook her head in understanding.

"It\'s fine, Sister Margaret. I was just searching for you because …" Li Xue was about to say but before she could the old lady coughed lightly to make her pause in her words.

Then walking up to her, she whispered in her ears. "Madam, I could help you manage them, but you have to give the orders to them. Though Wu Jiaqi has been sent away, still there might be one or two who would report the happenings here to the Feng relatives. We have to be a little alert for the time being".

Li Xue tilted her head to look at her before nodding. "Oh okay!" She said then turning to the team of chefs she ordered, "You all can keep the menu simple, but do check with the nutritionists to calculate the kcal of the dishes well. As for the maids, you can simply follow the orders of Sister Margaret. She has been always there looking at the needs of Shufen. So she can guide everyone well".

The maids and chefs nodded and soon then went to follow their work. Li Xue also turned to smile at the old lady. "Was that right?"

"Yes, Madam. I will look for the rest. You don\'t have to worry". Sister Margaret said, reciprocating the smile with her politeness.

"Thank you, Sister Margaret. I have really missed you on the days you weren\'t here". Li Xue added more and right at that moment, someone from behind interrupted.

"Madam, there was a brocade box in the car which seemed a little …"
