Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 635 - Gotten her friendship fixed.

"Director Qi, do you have something to ask?" Li Xue snapped the man out from his thoughts. She had not missed the doubtful gazes he was giving from the front.

At her words, Qi Shuai turned properly on his seat to look back. His eyes stared at Li Xue and then turned to look at his friend who was comfortably sitting with the little one in his arms and his expressions all warm and affectionate. Few months back he had never dared to dream of his friend like this. But just a few months has brought such changes that were unimaginable.

"Director Qi?" Li Xue again asked when saw the man still giving the same look to them without saying anything.

Qi Shuai nodded. "Yep, Xiao Xue there is a question I wanted to ask". He has held it for long but now, he no longer felt, he could keep it within. He looked at Li Xue with curious eyes before asking with much thought, choosing his words all appropriately, "Xiao Xue, your relation with Shufen is so peaceful. Don't you doubt that this could be the peace before the storm? That there could be someone or something that would appear someday to stir up everything between you too?" ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novelenglish.net . ꜰirᴇ

Li Xue paused for a moment at those words. She stared at the Director for some time, checking if he was being truthful with his doubts and not saying all those words to warn her of the future coming. But when she found it just a mere curiosity, she sighed internally in relief. Though the storms are inevitable, she still preferred the cosy peace in life.

"Are you praying for a storm to come, Director Qi?" Li Xue asked, curling her lips slightly on the sides as she continued her gaze at the man. She was in the mood to tease the man.

Qi Shuai was taken aback by that sudden attack. Nope, there was no way he could ever pray something that audacious. Even before he could pray, he would be mercilessly killed. While he was still in his thoughts, suddenly he felt his bones getting stiffer and stiffer. Out of voluntary actions, his eyes darted to look at his friend and he was not surprised with his cold glare on him.

"Haha … How could that be, Xiao Xue? I could never think something like that. I was …" He tried to defend, giving an awkward smile but under the cold glare of Shufen, he was feeling like he would fail the very next moment.

But just when he thought that he was about to fail, suddenly a melodic chuckle burst into the air, pushing away all the darkness of fear and dreadfulness.

"Haha … Director Qi. I was just kidding. I know you care for us." Li Xue said. Of course, she could also feel the sudden change in the air. The drop in temperature. Her intention has never been to put the sweet Director friend in a tough situation. "About the storms, I have never specifically cared for them. As we all know, if there is peace, storms are inevitable. But those unavoidable storms could never hinder our relations, rather just enhances the value of all the good moments and memories we share."

She said, turning a little to the side to look at her man. He still looked a bit cold. She smiled, knowing well how s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e he gets when things involve them. It was kind of cute to her but then again even cute, she would not like to see him getting affected by things like this. Moving her hands slowly to reach his, she intertwined their fingers together.

On that sudden soft touch, Fen Shufen turned to look at her. His facial iceberg melted at her warm assurance she was giving to him. That was all he needed to calm himself from inside.

"So, I neither doubt my relationship with President Feng nor doubt on him". Li Xue said, slowly smiling and turning back to look at Director Qi. She paused her words, completing the answer Qi Shuai had sought from her.

But then suddenly she remembered something to add. "By the way, Director Qi, this is just not about me and Mr Beelzebub. It's about everyone who has got a love relationship to cherish. Even you and Yi Lan. Though currently, you have storms stirring up your bond, that will never put the memories you shared to become a lie. Even in the storm, those moments between you and her will always linger. So, instead of giving up just use them as your brownie points".

Though Li Xue has never tried to get herself involved in her friend's love business, she was well aware of the things going on between them. And she has also noticed how slow they were moving in their relationship. With that pace, she won't be surprised if Feng Yi Lan gets married in her old age.

Qi Shuai scratched the back of his neck before giving a nod of understanding. He was still striving hard. Maybe he has hurt Yi Lan too much that even after so much of his efforts, she was still not ready to give him any chance. Though it felt a little harsh to his feelings and emotions, he could not put any complaint to that, knowing whatever he was receiving was actually what he deserved. "I understand Xiao Xue. Don't worry, I would not be giving up on her in this life."

Li Xue nodded, believing well in those words of the man. But then suddenly, remembering something from her thoughts, she regretted it. "Oops, I almost forgot. I still need to call Wen Sying to ask about her health. She is still in the hospital". She said as she moved to her side to grab her bag to get her phone out.

At that moment, Qi Shuai was all confused. Those words of the woman were utmost tender, filled with worry and concern. For a split second, he almost thought that Li Xue has got all her relations fixed with her friend but when remembered what Wen Sying has actually done with her in the past, he doubted. Searching for the answer, his eyes turned to look at his friend and there he got the hint he was looking for.

"Aish! My phone is power off. Director Qi is there a charger in the car. Please help me plug in for five minutes" Li Xue requested before passing her phone to the man at the front.
