Li Xue blinked her eyes as she stared at the person that appeared out of nowhere early in the morning. "Ahh. Good morning, Director Qi. Are you fine?" Even though she asked him that, she need not hear his answer to know that in no way he looked fine.
"Oh – Oh t-that, Xiao Xue, I am okay. W-Where is Shufen? Did h-he not wait for me?" Qi Shuai said, panting with some anxiousness. His words were not leveled in a good tone but still was alright to bring up the sentence as full. His one hand resting over his hɨps while the other holding the door frame for support. Just a glance at him at the moment and one could tell that he has run a marathon to arrive here.
"Wait for you? Were you planning to go out somewhere?" Li Xue asked, her eyes suspecting something different in the man's attitude, sizing him up and down while doubting the possibilities.
Did he again ruin things with Yi Lan? He better haven't. It was already hard for them to reconcile last evening. And if the things are again brought to the same starting point then there would be simply no hope for them in future. Li Xue thought while Qi Shuai shook his head.
"Ah, no, no, Xiao Xue. We had an important video meeting to attend today and I have asked Shufen to wait for me. So, I was just checking out if he had waited for me to arrive or not". He said, giving out his best genuine sheepish smile.
But even after presenting such genuineness and reasonable excuse, Li Xue doubted, "Really?"
Qi Shuai pulled his lips and nodded. "Of course. Or else, do you think I will lie to you? You are my savior, my benefactor. There is no chance of me betraying you".
Li Xue looked at him and then nodded. Though her suspicion was not eased, she has no reasonable reason to doubt him as well. "He is working in the study. I am not sure if the video meeting has yet begun or not but he has been working there for a good time now."
"Great! Then I will go and meet him first." Qi Shuai said in a hurry, already making his way inside the house, making Li Xue turn to look at him with raised brows of both amusement and perplexity.
Was the man truly alright?
"Director Qi, do you already know where his study is?" She asked, not understanding the rush of the man. He was in such a hurry that he didn't even care to stop and ask the directions to reach the study.
Qi Shuai paused, realizing his mistake. Turning around to ask, he scratched the back of his neck, "Umm … I almost forgot to ask. But I am sure it must be somewhere down the floor. Shufen has always had plans to hide her study room".
Li Xue shook her head, giving out a deliberate chuckle. "Haha … it's on the first floor, towards the left."
The man gave an awkward laugh, nodding and then at once rushing upstairs.
Li Xue has no other option but to stare at his sprinting figure. There was definitely something wrong. Thinking of it that way, she at once pulled her phone out to make the call to Feng Yi Lan. But even after a few rings, no answer came on the call making her brow get knitted at the possibilities.
While at the same time upstairs, it didn't take much time for Qi Shuai to find the direction to the study room. It was pretty convenient to him. Pushing the door open at once, he spotted his friend behind his desk. His eyes, showing some shimmer of relief but at the same time, giving the glint of irritation.
"Brother, are you crazy? What were your plans last night?" he asked, suppressing his high-pitched tone in accordance to not let anyone else hear it. Checking the empty corridor once, she quickly got inside the room, closing the door behind himself. "I asked you to do the DNA test to know the truth yourself, not to bring it in the light of everyone. What were you exactly planning there last night?" He asked with seriousness.
"They deserved to know how to make appropriate changes in their plans." He simply said and at his reason, Qi Shuai could only get speechless.
Like really? Was that really that appropriate to reveal it to them?
Qi Shuai shook his head. "And what about Li Xue? What if by any way she also comes to know about it?"
"I am not planning on hiding it from her anyway," Feng Shufen said, remaining firm in his stance. Though internally he was not too confident about it, still he was sure of one thing that in no way he would lie to Li Xue. She has already endured a lot because of everything. Now with him around, he would not let the things repeat for her.
But at the side, Qi Shua disagreed. "That will not be good, Shufen. I know honesty is important in any relationship. But along with honesty, the right timing also matters. I won't say you hide things from Xiao Xue, but would definitely ask you to wait for the right time. There is much more for you to deal with at the moment than causing one sėnsɨtɨvė issue at home." He said, making Shufen understand with his best.
Though he knew his friend wasn't wrong in keeping transparency in his relationship, Qi Shuai still could not ignore the adversity the truth was likely to bring, after coming to Li Xue's knowledge. Even though the chances were less, still there was a percentage that couldn't be ignored. Furthermore, there were more important things to look after at the moment. They couldn't dare to be reckless.
Feng Shufen didn't say anything and seeing him silent, Qi Shuai repeated once again. "Don't forget, we still have to find who is the mole in the family, and also the one behind everything. We need to be extra thoughtful and careful. As for Li Xue, I am sure she will understand you more when you present her as the main culprit of the accident". He said and at the moment, the door was pushed open again as a voice came to interrupt.
"Culprit of the accident? What are you two talking about?"
