Chapter 1244 Duty to see that none of our people is forced to take celibacy.

Li Xue narrowed her eyes as she looked at Feng Shufen accusingly. She couldn't believe how easy it was for him to compose himself back to his usual composure, while she could still not forget what he said to her back in the room.

Was she the one who was overthinking? She couldn't blame herself, after all, women tend to overthink the matters that men don't.

Du Fan looked at the lady and followed her gaze to look at his master talking with the doctor. He didn't know what had happened, but for some reason, he felt that the lady looked a bit upset with his master. Not matching the eyes of Li Xue, Du Fan looked down at the floor and politely asked, "Madam, is there something? You look upset."

At his concerned voice like that, Li Xue turned to look at the man. She didn't hide her displeasure but instead accepted, "Of course, I am upset with your Young Master. It's has been all because of him. If he hadn't asked you to be so strict on your duty then what happened, wouldn't have happened."

Du Fan shook his head as a smile of politeness rose on his lips. "Madam, although to keep you safe was the order from Young Master, to risk my life for you was my decision. Please don't blame Young Master."

Li Xue understood the loyalty with which Du Fan spoke about all this. But she still felt it unacceptable. Although earlier, she didn't complain, still she wasn't happy when Du Fan did this for her. "That's not how it works, Mr. Driver. Life is too short to risk it like this. You better not do this next time. You might think of this as your duty but to fulfil this one duty, you have ignored several other responsibilities that you hold for your life and the people that care for you. Even me and your Young Master."

She said, and Du Fan didn't know how to respond to that order. Although what the lady said made sense, still if the same situation appears again, he won't hesitate in doing the same thing again. Not just because it was his duty, but because he knows the importance the lady holds in each of their lives, especially in the life of their Young Master.

Right at that time, Feng Shufen came back after having a small talk with the doctor. Walking to the side of Du Fan, he reached out to pat his shoulders. He didn't say a word but Du Fan understood the emotion that pats over his shoulders relayed. After disappointing his Young Master for the last two times, he was finally satisfied that it didn't get repeated again.

A polite knock on the door again interrupted them when they turned to see it was no other but Gao Fan entering. Finding Li Xue, the secretary was first to bow his head in greeting. "Madam!"

"Good morning, Mr. Secretary. You have been early here." Li Xue smiled to greet him back. To which, Gao Fan simply gestured towards Du Fan to say.

"Madam, I was here last night as well. But since Mr. Du was sleeping under the effect of a sedative and I had got a call for urgent work, I had to leave. It's just now that I got the time to return to visit him." The secretary may not be good at lying, but in situations like this, his stoic face worked well in making people believe his word.

Li Xue smiled as she understood this as well but she didn't say anything. Next, Gao Fan turned to look at Feng Shufen and they exchanged a gaze between themselves. Although Li Xue noticed them exchanging the gaze, she wasn't able to make out what it was about. She just knew that they were up to something she couldn't read.

After a while, the nurse came to deliver the discharge papers, and soon they set out to leave the hospital. But just when they were about to step out, Li Xue paused them to say, "Mr. Du, since you are already in this condition, I have arranged another car for you. You are not allowed to drive. So please take that car along and reach home. While we would come from a different car."

Du Fan heard her and was about to politely reject her but before he could, Li Xue shook her head to repeat, "I have already arranged that Mr. Driver. Please go on. The car must be waiting for you at the entrance. To not make it awkward for you, we won't accompany you out. You can go on your own." She said, gesturing with her hand to ask him to walk out.

Du Fan had no other way in the end. So, taking it as the orders, he walked out after getting polite permission from Feng Shufen. As he stepped out of the hospital, as Li Xue said, there was a car ready for him. He walked to the car before knocking on the window. As the glass of the window rolled down, his eyes widened in surprise.

"You …"

While inside, Li Xue's lips curled up in a smile as she saw Du Fan getting in the car and leaving. Once they were gone, she turned to look at Feng Shufen, ready to inform him that they could leave as well. But her words paused in the middle when she saw him looking intently at her.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" She asked and Feng Shufen looked at her before gesturing to her with his eyes to ask.

"What were you planning?"

Li Xue shrugged her shoulders. "What could I plan? It was just a small surprise to Mr. Driver. Although I know he works for you, I am still his madam and it's my duty to see that none of our people are forced to take celibacy as an option. I have previously seen him enjoying time with MengMeng. So, now that he could have a day off, I called her to accompany him. Wasn't that nice of me?"

Feng Shufen thought for a moment before nodding to her with some thought. "Very nice of you. Now let's go. Let's return home. Later I have some work as well. I need to go for that." He said and Li Xue felt something different floating in his eyes.

"Didn't you just return last night? You must be tired as well. Won't you take a rest?" She asked Feng Shufen as her eyes meaningfully turned to look at Gao Fan standing beside him.

Gao Fan avoided the gaze of the lady while Feng Shufen smiled comfortingly. "Don't worry, the work won't take me long. I would return back to rest soon."
