Chapter 1348 Are you just flaunting your love for your wife?

　　Li Xue was confused at her words, herself. Don't people always say thank you to express their gratitude and sorry to convey their apology? Then why the hell did she say something like that. Furthermore, even while saying it, she didn't feel weird. Rather her words felt so natural to her ears as if what she said was not something unnatural but something that she had heard people normally speak. 

　　She said and Feng Shufen slowly nodded. Then she turned to look back at the little one sleeping. She didn't look like she would wake up any time soon. So, gazing at her watch she said, "It's getting late. She might not be waking up soon. I will take my leave first." 

　　She said and at the moment Feng Shufen heard her, his calmed expression stirred, showing the small ripples of anxiousness in his eyes. "You can stay for dinner. Up until then, she would also wake up." He said and Li Xue paused for a moment. 

　　Her eyes matched his and reluctance grew in her heart. But then she shook her head, "Actually if it had been the other day, I would have stayed but tonight I need to be present at home. I can't stay." She said and Feng Shufen held himself back. If it had been in the past, she would have never let her walk away. But today, given the scenarios, he could no longer hold her back. 

　　So, nodding, he agreed. "Okay, I will ask Du Fan to drop you back." He said, remembering that she had come with him and had not brought her car along. 

　　Li Xue didn't refuse. Nodding, she accepted as she turned back to leave. But just when she would have stepped out of the room, she paused in her steps. Turning to look back at WeiWei's face, she asked, "Does she have a phone or something?"

　　Feng Shufen understood what she wanted to do. So, nodding, he said, "She got one. It must be in her bedside drawer." He said and Li Xue nodded with a smile before walking to the bedside and pulling out the drawer to get her phone. 

　　Moving one hand to caress WeiWei's hair gently, she slowly unlocked her phone before going to the voice recorder to record her voice into it. 

　　"WeiWei, Mama needs to go back for a while. Stay good at home. I will come back to meet you soon. All my kisses and love to you." She kept it short but the emotions that surged in her heart at that moment overwhelmed her enough to unsettle her heart. She didn't know why she referred to herself as her mother. But when she did, she didn't mind it much. 

　　Any child will get poor without their mother and for some reason, she didn't want WeiWei to be like that. Even if that means becoming her mother she wouldn't mind. 

　　She didn't realize how big a decision she had made at such ease. No woman would do that for any child, no matter how affectionate they grow towards her. And thus, Li Xue's such deep affection was enough to tell that the bond she shared with WeiWei was nothing simple, rather it ran deep through her veins into her heart. At the moment she didn't realize it but soon she would be able to. 

　　Once done, she leaned down to kiss WeiWei's forehead softly before keeping the phone to her side. Then getting up, she turned back to walk. But right then her eyes matched the deep pairs of Feng Shufen. She realized he was looking at her for a good time now and might have heard what she had recorded. 

　　Thinking her words could be offensive to his wife, she quickly explained, "Earlier, when I met WeiWei at the mall, she kept calling me her mom. So, I just said it like that. Until her mom returns, I have no problem. She could call me anytime." She said, finally stopping to take a breath. 

　　Could Feng Shufen even mind that? Not even in his eleventh life. She was WeiWei's mother. Other than her, no one could be. 

　　Nodding, he softly said, "Thank you. I will trouble you with it then." 

　　Li Xue was taken aback by his sudden agreement. She thought he wouldn't agree but since he agreed so easily, her lips curled up in a smile. 

　　"I will go back then." She said, giving a small smile before finally getting out of the room. Feng Shufen followed her before asking Du Fan to send her back. 

　　At once Du Fan was overjoyed. It felt like ages since he had driven Li Xue. Now that he has got the chance, how could he not be happy? 

　　Opening the door for her, he politely said, "Miss, please get in." 

　　Li Xue paused to look at his happy face and couldn't help but smile before reciprocating. "Thank you, Mr. Driver." 

　　Du Fan was dumbfounded for a moment but then, composing himself back, he got into the driver's seat before starting the car to the forest. 

　　Once she was gone, Feng Shufen returned back into the house and an emptiness got into his heart. He slowly climbed the stairs and got into WeiWei's room before sitting beside her. He felt guilty in front of WeiWei, but back then he had no choice or way to bring back Li Xue with him. And at the same time, he can't leave WeiWei with her as well. With her memory gone, facing her indifference wouldn't have been easy for the little one. 

　　As he thought it like that, his eyes slowly closed with pain and soon he went back to the memory of the day when everything changed. 

　　He sat on the cliff for hours in the rain. People of her team and the royal army were running around to find her but even after searching for hours, there seemed to be no trace of her. 

　　After some time, one came to inform them that they had found someone in the forest deep in the cliff. Hearing the news was enough to make Feng Shufen get on his feet and rush down the cliff without thinking twice. But even after rushing with all his might, he got nothing but disappointment. 

　　His fist clenched when he saw the person the crew found was not Li Xue but Zhang Xiaotong. If she had been alive, he would have made sure to get her back up the cliff before throwing her down again. But that wasn't the case. So, in the end, he could only gesture to Gao Fan to take her away. 

　　Gao Fan nodded before making a few of the men to wheel the body out and then making others resume the search. Feng Shufen walked without caring about the thorns coming his way. The vines were thick and were creating difficulties but no matter how hard it was, he ran to search almost all the areas below the cliff. 

　　Only when it was dawn, did the head of the search team come to inform with disappointment, "President Feng, we are sorry. But it doesn't seem Mrs. Feng is here. If she has fallen down and we can't find her, this indicates only one thing that the wild animals of the forest have …" 

　　He didn't complete his words but it was already easy to tell what he meant. Feng Shufen's expressions turned cold while his body felt numb enough to make him feel soulless. The pain increased in his chest and he didn't realize when he passed out, leaving everything in disruption. 

　　The more Feng Shufen was seeping into his memory lane from last month, the more he felt himself suffocating in his dream. Soon it was not easy to keep his eyes closed. The darkness he was feeling there seemed to be hollowing him from inside. Desperately, he opened his eyes before sitting up while catching his breath. 

　　He was panting, trying his best to take as much oxygen as it was possible. This suffocation was the reason why he had not been sleeping. The fear was still there in his heart. Even though she was safe and alive, the fear has never eased. It has always kept him dreaded enough to lose his sleep. 

　　Right when he was catching his breath, his phone rang. He reached to pull it out before putting it to his ears to speak. "Hello." 

　　"You seem quite active in receiving my call today. Were you waiting to hear my gratitude?" It was Jing Wei Jin who called him. His playful tone was as usual. 

　　"What do you want?" Feng Shufen was not in the mood to entertain him at the moment, so he simply asked. 

　　Jing Wei Jin clicked his tongue on the other end of the call. "I just want to know something from you. Until when are you going to let me take your projects so easily? Do you plan to make my company achieve the same success as yours in the span of just a few months? President Feng, aren't you just too kind to repay my one-time help in the terms of a hundredfold? Did you forget we have always been enemies? Or are you just flaunting your love for your wife?"
