Chapter 90 - Preparing his grave.
Li Xue was again left speechless at his words. What does he mean? 'Never met the best', like really? The man who has always remained at the top of the range, surrounded by nonpareil people on all sides was saying that he has never met the best. Was this some kind of joke?
But was this her place to say something? No it wasn't. His life and his preference, how can she question it? She can't overstep the boundaries, she has created herself.
After completing the ice cream, the car again resumed its way back in the direction of Little Carnations. Since it was a tough day for the little princess, she dozed off in the warm embrace of her Handsome Angel.
The air inside the car was now much warm and gentle, with no hints of chilliness from before. Li Xue was also feeling a little cozy in the atmosphere, much more relaxed than she would have been in someone's else company. She turned to look at the man, who has comfortably wrapped his arms around Li Wei in such a way that her sleep can be comfortable and peaceful.
Looking at him like this anyone can say that he was all experienced with children. "President Feng, let me take her in my arms now. You must be tired by carrying her like this", she said and then extended her arms towards him to take her little one back but the man gently held her arms and said softly, "It's okay. I am fine. You must also be tired, so take some rest too. There is still time to reach home"

She looked at him as his grey sterling eyes stared back at her. This man … was he casting some spell on her? Why was she feeling that the more she looked and heard him, the more she became hypnotized by his charms? Those eyes were just … magical.
Cough! Cough! She deliberately coughed to bring herself back to her senses. Why does she have to lose herself in front of him?
"Sister – in – law, so what …" Qi Shuai, who has not paid any attention to their small conversation started, thinking to gather some more information to create more romantic possibilities between them.
"Director Qi, can you please not call me that. It's really making me a little uncomfortable. Just call me by my name. It is simple and easy", the woman said, her tone sounding a little powerless at the consequences it was bringing to her. Above Mr. Beelzebub's charms, this type of addressing words was not doing any good to her.
Qi Shuai turned to look at her and then at his friend. There was no particular expression on Feng Shufen's face, implying that for the time being he was not so serious about such little things.
"Fine then I will try to call you informally then, Xiao Xue. But if any time I go back to call you Sister – in – law, then please don't blame me as you know habits are really difficult to change", he said and then continued his words which he had intended to ask before.
"Sis … I mean Xiao Xue, before I was about to ask if you had any plans for tomorrow. Like I know that you would be joining Sweet Delicacy the day after tomorrow, so just wanted to know if your schedule is free. We can …" He was in the middle of his words when he got suddenly interrupted by some phone's ringtone.
Feng Shufen also turned to take a look. His eyes looking at her handbag from where the music was resounding. "Ahh … Xiao Xue, I think it's your phone ringing. Quickly receive it or our little princess might wake up from the sound"
Li Xue too nodded and quickly went to retrieve her phone from her handbag. Her eyes turned to show a hint of confusion when she looked at the number. "This …", she said, her eyes looking at the number incoming on her phone screen. It looked familiar but she couldn't remember whose phone number it was!
"Who is that?" Feng Shufen asked, looking at her confused facial expression.
"Umm? I don't know. It's an unknown id. Let me check", she said and was about to slide the icon to receive the call when the ringtone already died.
"Ahh … since it's already disconnected. So I will see it afterwards", she said, looking at the man whose eyes were fixed at her.

He sighed internally. Why were his words remaining unspoken after so many attempts? "Xiao Xue, check it again. If it is the same person, then tell him that I am preparing his grave and soon he will be allocated there", Qi Shuai said, pursing his lips.
"I am sorry", she said apologetically and turned back to receive the call. Sliding the icon to the rights, she brought the phone near her ears, "Hello! Who is this?"
She asked while the party on the other side remained voiceless, like he or she was really having a hard time in confirming his or her thoughts to word out.
"Hello?" she asked again. But the other side was still silent. "Fine … if there isn't anything to talk then I would hang up the call", she said all politely not knowing who was at the other end.
"Li Xue, don't disconnect the call. It's me, Wenting" he said in a hurried tone, fearing that before he could even bring his words and thoughts out, the call will be disconnected.
The woman has not expected this coming. So many unexpected things were going around her that she has begun to feel that either she should widen her expectations or she should just don't keep anything in her unexpected – list.
As she heard his voice, her lips curled up a little to form a beautiful insultive arc. She said, "I never expected CEO Zheng to call me with such a silence".
