Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 1367: What did you order Gao Fan to do?

When Li Xue entered, all eyes were at her but her eyes only stared at one person. As she walked, her gaze never wavered. She simply smiled and added, "When in Rome, do as Romans do. President Feng, I am sure you must have also heard of that saying. To be honest, I really don't care how you travel around but sometimes you should just try to get accustomed to us, the people around. We aren't that bad, to say."

She spoke and her ease of tone was something that made people gasp in horror. To them, Feng Shufen was the unfathomable identity whom not everyone can reach, yet today, hearing Li Xue talk to him so casually blew away their minds.      

"Is she crazy? She really spoke to him like that. Did she not fear for her career? How could she speak like that?"      

"Li Xue has really been audacious. She would now have to take the consequences of being so outspoken."      

The guests started to murmur among themselves. While some felt pity for Li Xue, others were waiting to see her in extreme consequences.      

"Really? But I don't feel so. To her such audacious words none of the three looks bothered. Not even President Feng. Instead, look at the secretary. With his head bowed in politeness, he seemed to be respecting her."     

But right at that moment, someone noticed the casualness in the attitude of the three people. No change in attitude itself confused people.

After all, what they have known about Feng Shufen all their life was his lack of tolerance.     

"Yes, this must not be how things must be working. By now shouldn't she already be on her knees?"     

"Do Li Xue share some connection? Does she know them?"     

People started speculation but no one had any answer to this. No matter how they think, they just couldn't find it possible.      

While at the same time, Bai Yuchen felt concerned. Not just because Li Xue seemed to have offended Feng Shufen, but also because she has not turned to even glance at him since she entered the hall. And the feeling of her ignorance was badly affecting him.      

"Li Xue, President Feng is our senior. If we give him some extra respect, it won't be a loss. Let's not pull him out of his comfort zone." What Bai Yuchen said might have sounded polite, but people could still hear the hidden intentions he was speaking.      

Li Xue simply smiled at his words before slowly chuckling out as if mocking him. "Haha … I am sorry, CEO Bai. I didn't mean to laugh at you but I simply couldn't comprehend your words. Giving extra respect is understandable but you made him sound like a senior when he actually looks more handsome and dashing than most of the guys I have ever seen in my life."      

She paused and then gave an intentional intimate look to Shufen before adding, "I fear if you call him an aged senior which he is not, his lovers might curse you to hell. Am I right, Director Qi?"     

She pulled Qi Shuai out of the blue which almost made him stumble on his footing.      

Glancing at the poker yet gentle expression of Feng Shufen, he quickly coughed before looking back at Li Xue to nod.      

"Indeed, Xiao *ahem* I mean Li Xue. You said it right. If Shufen's admirers come to know about this, they might overload Bai Yuchen with curses. After all, Shufen might be considered a respected giant in the business circle, but he is still not old enough to be called a senior like that. I mean he would be roughly a year older than Bai Yuchen." He said while shrugging his shoulders in nonchalance while eyeing the boy from top to toe.      

Bai Yuchen felt embarrassed instantly. The calm on his expression wavered but soon, he smiled and eased himself to say, "Haha … Director Qi, I definitely didn't mean it like that. How can I call President Feng an aged senior? What I meant was based on his experience. I respect him a lot and aspire to become like him one day."      

He said and the next moment, Qi Shuai clicked his tongue, "Impossible. You simply can't." He said it straight and it took a while for Bai Yuchen to understand.      

When he did, he was about to say something but before he could, Li Xue spoke from the side, "I agree. Becoming like him isn't easy. After all, not everyone can wear the mask of a stranger." She said and once again her words were something that made people horrified.      

Although there was a smile on her expression, contempt was easily readable in her eyes and words that simply didn't go miss with the pairs of eyes around.     

Bai Yuchen felt the things complicated between Li Xue and Feng Shufen, especially when he saw the gaze with which the two were staring at each other. He couldn't help but feel jealous. Still keeping his attitude in check, he walked to the side of Li Xue and gently tugged on her arms, slowly pulling her to him.

While Feng Shufen's gaze turned cold at his action, Li Xue also didn't like it. Catching Shufen's stance of charge from the corner of the eyes, Li Xue confronted Bai Yuchen before him. Pulling her arms from him, she said, "CEO Bai, I think I have come a bit late here. My manager and assistant must already be here somewhere. Allow me to go and search for them."      

Saying that, she didn't wait for another moment and walked straight away. But that was not before she gave one last look to Feng Shufen.      

Bai Yuchen also noticed it and then after a moment excused himself as well. Walking up to his secretary, he whispered something in his ears.          

    

Qi Shuai noticed his action, and quickly went to Feng Shufen's side to say, "Li Xue looks angry at you, brother. But let's not focus on her at the moment. Instead, let's see the Bai guy. He seems secretive about something. I am sure he has kept something planned up on his sleeves. We have to be on alert."      

Feng Shufen has not missed what Qi Shuai was talking about. Although he knew Li Xue was angry at him and he wanted to coax her, he has not forgotten for which he was here.      

"Gao Fan!" He called and the next moment his secretary gave a nod of understanding before leaving at once. Qi Shuai looked at their exchange and was dumbfounded.      

Why did he suddenly seem to be left out from the plan? Did they have something up their sleeves as well? He couldn't bring himself to remember.      

"Shufen, what have you ordered Gao Fan to do? Where did he go?" He asked but except for silence, he received nothing.
