Li Xue's eyes squinted as she didn't miss the meteoric swish of another unsaid promise flashing in his eyes. "What was that?" She asked, turning to look at him, tugging her brows in curiosity.
Feng Shufen shook his head in denial. "Nothing!" giving a one-word reply, he kept his gaze at the streets passing by. His eyes were long back to normal without leaving any hint of the determination Li Xue has seen before.
But even gone, the woman was not that easy to accept it to be simple. So, tugging over the sleeves of the man, she made him look at her first before asking again. "Do you think I would believe that? Come on, tell me fast. What was that look about?"
Feng Shufen looked at her and then out of nowhere asked, "You are not going to the company today?" His intention of switching the topic was evident, but still, Li Xue replied.
"There is nothing in the company today. So, I am planning to visit Her Highness first. She has called me yesterday to ask something and then said that there is something about the project she wants to discuss with me." She said, keeping her eyes all strict at the man so that after her reply he doesn't get the chance to avoid the things she has asked. "Now, will you tell me what I have asked you before?"
She said and Feng Shufen gave a mysterious smile to her as if he has already taken the lead of trapping the girl in his trap. Li Xue didn't understand at first, but when suddenly felt the car halting at the side of the road, she someway got to understand what the man had actually tried to do.
"You …" She was about to complain but before she could, a knock at the car window interrupted her.
And given to Feng Shufen's faint smile, it was not hard to tell that he already knew who was there. Turning, a bit, he rolled down the window but kept his eyes still on the woman as if not wishing to miss her expressions.
"Madam!" It was Gao Fan who has come to knock. Finding Li Xue's eyes at himself, he paused to greet her first before looking at his President to say in a tone of the slightest hurry, "President Feng, it's already time for your meeting. We need to hurry from here otherwise we might get late. The clients had their flight later in the afternoon and we have not left them on a good note yesterday."
He said but Feng Shufen didn't bother to hurry. Instead, he simply stared at Li Xue to say, "Gao Fan, your Madam was there asking me something. You interrupted at a wrong time." He said making the secretary all perplexed about his wrong.
Did he offend the lady by interrupting her? But the clients from yesterday were really important and missing them today as well will only make things wrong. His interruption like this was not his intention but the necessity. Staring at the lady he could just hope her to understand his tough spot.
For a moment, Li Xue wanted to ignore the importance Gao Fan stated about the client. But when heard him mention they are the same as yesterday, she couldn't bear to act arrogant and willful. Furthermore, the concern in the eyes that Gao Fan held was not a joke. She knew how sincere the secretary was for his President and the company.
"It's okay, Mr. Secretary. You didn't interrupt anything important. As for my talks with your President Feng … I could always have them later. Because at the end of the day he would be returning home from where he would no longer escape." She said, giving a meaningful glance at the man, which delivered its message well.
Gao Fan felt relieved as at once he turned to look at his President to see his response. But he was there still staring at the lady with a look that was asking him to not interrupt for a moment.
Feng Shufen looked at Li Xue and couldn't help but press a smile. Recently, he found that she looked more adorable when sending him threats. "So …" He started to officially ask her permission before leaving.
But before he could say anything, Li Xue completed the reply for him. "Of course, President Feng, you should leave first. We would continue this again later when you return home." She said, pressing a smile over her lips and that smile was meaningful enough to let the man know that the topic might not be over yet.
Feng Shufen gave a nod to her indication before finally pushing the door to leave with Gao Fan.
Du Fan and Li Xue waited till their car disappeared at a distance and only after seeing them not in the line of sight, Li Xue hmphed to say, "This man really knows to play the tricks and then act innocent."
Du Fan started the car and smiled looking at the lady behind and by mistake, left a soft chuckle.
Li Xue didn't miss the soft sound and interestedly turned to look at the driver to ask. "Mr. Driver, are you siding up with your master now?"
Du Fan frantically shook his head. "No, no, Madam. I just wanted to thank you. Earlier, I almost thought that you might be kicking me out of your team. So, thank you for not doing so." He said and Li Xue just waved her hands at him.
"Though I was upset with you, it was still not to the point to abandon you." She said and her words made the driver smile in gratitude but then she added a bit with sternness, "But Mr. Driver, don't do what you have done yesterday. Because of the false alarm, I had to give in today. And I would have to know what that hidden thing he meant by that gaze."
She said and with the slip of tongue, Du Fan immediately responded, "Oh, that was an unsaid promise to you, Madam.." Soon enough he realized his mistake, but it was already too late for him.
