Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 830 - Reverse mechanism.

Li Xue's ambers teased his greys slightly, knowing the games at which she was challenging him. "It was simple. How could you not guess?" Her words merely whispered but to him, she knew it was loud enough to silence everything else around.

"You are …" Feng Shufen started, ready to loosen his grip over her but Li Xue pressed herself still, willingly keeping herself into his grasp

"… playing with fire. I know. But do you know not every burn from the fire is worth regretting?" She added, halfway completing his intended words while with the other half, declaring her fearlessness. At her words, she saw his eyes growing darker, to which she just smiled, before adding more, "Furthermore, my plans of making up to you were not that tough. What I just meant was …"

She paused before bringing her lips directly to place over his to peck as sweetly as she could, before pulling back to grin from ear to ear. "What I meant was to keep it as simple as this. Just a small kiss on your lips to prove my sincerity and loyalty, that's just for you".

"…" Feng Shufen could just stare at her. Before he used to think that all these things were out of her innocence. But now the more he saw her enjoying it, the more he felt like she was being deliberate to pull these actions, just to tease him. "You have become more and more naughty."

"I have always been like this. It's your fault to only realize it now". Shrugging her shoulders to nothingness, Li Xue said before looking back at the brocade box that she had kept aside earlier. "Aye, by the way, were you truly upset over that gift?" She asked and Feng Shufen's eyes followed her gaze to look at the same brocade box before shaking his head and denying it.

"Really?" Li Xue asked again, slightly suspicious of his denial but when saw his all confident expression, she changed her question to ask the reason behind it. "Why?" Her eyes blinked with curiosity to know in detail.

"Because I know he is important to you." Feng Shufen answered, knowing well about his words.

Li Xue blinked her eyes more, trying her best to understand his words. Pulling her hands up she went to check up on the temperature of his forehead before matching it with her own. "Aye, why does it felt wrong to hear that, Mr. Beelzebub? Did you really say that Jing Wei Jin is someone important to me?"

"Mhm. Is he not?" Nodding, Feng Shufen replied again, while Li Xue shifted herself from his ??p to his side on the sofa, but keeping her eyes attentively on him.

She shook her head. "Of course, he is one I took as my friend and is important to me. But that was the last thing I was expecting you to acknowledge. But it seems like it was just me who took your possessiveness too seriously. Now I see, I don't think you are that possessive of me, or …"

She was in the middle of her words when suddenly paused to feel his strenuous eyes over herself that was telling her that she had taken something wrong in between. "What? Was I wrong?"

"I still hold top-notch possessiveness in my nature. But sometimes the pursuit of interest is better achieved with the reverse mechanism. Don't read it otherwise". He said with a straight face and given his expression and tough vocabulary, it took some time for Li Xue to understand it well. And when she did, she could not help but purse her lips at him while pointing her fingers at him. The source of this content is novelenglish.net . (f)ire.ɴet

"You … You can even be narcissistic over your possessiveness. Unbelievable! Truly unbelievable". She said, shaking her head at him. "And what's up with this reverse mechanism. Don't say the last time when you came to take me away, you have deliberately been kind to him so that I can only side with you in front of him."

Feng Shufen looked at her before getting back the news magazine in his hand. "What do you think? If one-time less profit can ensure better future returns then it's not a wrong decision to make." He said and leisurely opened the magazine to read, while Li Xue could only be speechless on the side.

So, all that was his plan while she was thinking that in the past at that time, he only cared to take her away with him.

She was damn na?ve to think so simply when the man was there planning and plotting for the long term.

"You are too conspiring to plan it that way." She said before standing up to get near to take back the brocade box in her hands and walk away.

"You won't be checking it?" Feng Shufen asked when saw her walking away without checking the box and the woman just shook her head in denial.

"He has the bad habit of bragging about his wealth and achievements. But I never got a habit to encourage his bad habit so I would just keep it with me until I meet him again to return it. Same as I did with the last one I received from him." She said and the man nodded in understanding.

"By the way, don't forget there is a gift you need to help me with". She added again. To which the man looked up to her to inform.

"I have already called Gao Fan to prepare it for you."

"Oh!"

Li Xue wasn't expecting him that quick. But then again what was there to think about that. He has got a really competent secretary. Nodding she planned to leave, only to stop again in her steps midway. "By the way, what are your plans in the afternoon? Are you going to the company?"

Feng Shufen nodded. "Mhm. Few meetings to attend."

"Ohh, then drop me on your way. I will go and get ready first then". She said with a smile before winking at him with playfulness to add. "I still have to prepare an important gift for someone. And to prepare that one gift, I want to go personally."
