Chapter 1065 - Simple Yet Complicated Words.
Li Xue nodded. For a moment, her thoughts got distracted from Shufen. "No, I am fine, Sister Margaret. Just a little of a wound. It will recover soon if I take my medicines on time." She said holding onto the old lady\'s hands in assurance.
Sister Margaret nodded at her with ease. Otherwise, since the last night, after she was informed, she was all worried for the lady. After all, if something had happened to Li Xue, she could not dare to think about the consequences.
"Sister Margaret, it\'s already time for her medicines. Did you make all the preparations I asked you to make?" Shufen asked and turning to him, the old lady nodded politely. "Fine, then look after her. I have something to do in the study." He said and then giving a small glance at Li Xue, he walked away.
Though Sister Margaret didn\'t understand the deep meaning his such attitude held, Li Xue understood it well. Her eyes slightly narrowed at the man, as internally she rejected to give up. \'Mr. Beelzebub, this time it won\'t be easy for you to escape like that.\'
"Madam, come with me. I have prepared the medicines for you. Those are herbals and would work better." The old lady said but looking a bit engrossed in her own self, Li Xue paused her.
"Sister Margaret. I will have my medicines soon. But right now, I need to ask something with Shufen. I will go there first." She and the old woman was all perplexed about it. Before she could understand what it was all about, Li Xue was already on her way upstairs.
Climbing the stairs, it didn\'t take long for her to reach the study. Without giving any knock of prior information, she pushed the door open finding the man sitting behind his desk. "Did you think that would be over so soon?"
Feng Shufen stared up at her for a moment. His demeanor was all calm at her appearance. After a while, he simply said, "Yes. Continue. I am hearing."
Li Xue didn\'t understand at first but when she saw him looking back on the laptop, she understood that he was on the call. She thought for a moment while looking at him. When didn\'t find him looking at her for a good moment of time, she pursed her lips before walking straight to him.
Reaching near him, without explaining, she closed his laptop. "Mr. Beelzebub, can we talk now?" She asked and the man stared up at her with a raise on his brows before looking back at his laptop that was already closed. "Don\'t look at it that way. You were at fault to think that I would let you avoid me that easily. Let you avoid telling me the truth that easily."
Feng Shufen smiled, keeping his gaze down. "Are you sure it\'s me who is avoiding telling the truth to you? And not you who is uninterested in knowing it?" He asked before looking up at her with his grey orbs. There were hints of secrets in his gaze that were almost there knocking at her door of revelation.
"What do you mean?" Li Xue didn\'t understand. None could ever. "When was I uninterested in it?" She asked.
"Always." He frankly said and it further perplexed the woman.
Shaking her head at him first, she turned a bit back to pull a chair to sit near him. "Mr. Beelzebub, I know you have a deep nature. But could you please keep your words a bit simple when you are with me? I am not understanding what you are talking about. What I asked about was the thing that happened earlier."
"Why earlier you were so severe to His and Her Royal Highness? I could see something was going on around which I was unaware of. What was that about? Did you ever try to tell me about that?" She asked, explaining her best to build up the pressure on the man.
But at all her words, Feng Shufen simply nodded with seriousness. "Mhm. I have tried to tell that to you earlier but at that time you have said that you aren\'t interested in knowing the past and carrying the burden."
Li Xue was feeling befuddled. With his words, she was feeling like the things are kept just in front of her but she was still unable to see them. Shrugging her shoulders, she wrinkled her brows in incertitude to say, "Past and burden? Mr. Beelzebub, those are very simple yet complicated words for me. Please don\'t test my brains and patience now. Tell me what it was about? His and Her Highness asking me to get registered under their name doesn\'t sound simple. Why would they even do that? I am not someone …"
"You are their daughter." Feng Shufen added, interrupting her in the middle of her words. Li Xue paused at those words. Her brows frowned deeper doubting his words.
Did she hear him right? She questioned herself and as if he has guessed her doubt already, he repeated to confirm.
"You are their daughter. That\'s why they are asking you in the royal tree. And why I was stern at their request earlier was for I wanted you to know this truth first before making any decision. Now that you have known, if you want, you can go ahead with it. It\'s totally up to you." He said and to his words, Li Xue didn\'t know how to react.
"I-I am their daughter. You mean my biological father is no other but His Majesty?" She asked and Feng Shufen didn\'t reject, clearing it out once for all. All this while he was not sure if he should reveal it or not.. But since things have already turned like that, he just decided to not hide it anymore.
