Chapter 1347 Showing gratitude and apology verbally.

??When Li Xue entered the house, everyone was shocked. The servants couldn't help but pause in their tracks while Sister Margaret also failed to register things at the right time. It was not until she met the gaze of Li Xue and heard her speak did she realize that she was not imagining the things, rather the lady had truly come there in reality. 

??Her eyes blinked as she saw her carrying the little one in her arms. She thought of stepping forward to help her carry the little girl but before she could, she heard Feng Shufen say. 

??"Her room is the first one upstairs. It would be difficult for you to climb the stairs with her in your arms. Let me do it." 

??Li Xue turned to stare at him. Then smiling she nodded. This time she didn't refuse his words, rather let him take the little girl from her arms. But just as expected, the moment the embrace changed, Little Li Wei stirred in her sleep. 

??Although Feng Shufen's arms have always been the comfortable ones for the girl, still given how much she was missing her mother, at the moment even a slight difference was enough to let her know that she was getting away from her Mama. And that feeling was enough to make her anxious, even in her sleep. 

??When Li Xue saw the girl's peaceful expression changing, she was quick to draw close to her again and pat her back while whispering slowly to her ears, "Shh … shh … sleep well, sweetie. I am still here with you." 

??And the moment her voice reached the senses of WeiWei, she was back to her slumber all comfortably. Li Xue smiled seeing the ease returning back to the girl's face. Then tilting her face slightly to look at the man, she said, "You can take her to the room. But be caref…" 

??Before she could complete her words, she was taken aback. During the time she went to ease WeiWei back to sleep, she didn't realize how close she had come to the man as well. Now that she noticed, there was hardly a few inches difference between their faces, and that too because of the height difference they shared. 

??She didn't feel uncomfortable with the proximity, but she knew that to give the man a way upstairs she would have to step aside. So, clearing her throat light, she quickly apologized before stepping aside. "I am sorry," 

??Feng Shufen on the other hand couldn't feel more torture than this. She was in front of him but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't even bring himself to start a conversation with her when in the past it had been him who pursued her headstrongly. 

??He felt angry at himself but there was nothing he could do. So, in the end, he quietly walked upstairs while she followed him behind.

??Behind, Sister Margaret sighed when she saw their negligible conversation. Just a look at them and she understood what would have happened. She was happy enough that the story began again somewhere, otherwise, it was just today morning that she had almost lost all hope of seeing the family of three together. 

??"Sister Margaret, has Madam returned to stay here again?" 

??"Is she still upset with Young Master? Can we go and talk with her?" 

??The moment the maids saw Li Xue disappearing upstairs, they came to ask the old lady excitedly. Without any doubt, they were happy to see Li Xue back at home. 

??Sister Margaret looked at them and shook her head. "Don't go and create a disturbance. The happy days have not yet come. But at least today came hope. Go back and work for now. Whether she would stay here or not, we would come to know about it by the end of the day." 

??She said before sending everyone back to work.

??Upstairs, after getting into the room, Li Xue stood as she saw Feng Shufen carefully tucking the little one under the blanket. Although the house had a lonely feeling within, still at the moment seeing the two in front of her for some reason there was still a homey feeling lingering in the air. 

??"Is she not sleeping well these days?" Suddenly Li Xue asked. When she did, she didn't think if her question was right or not. But when she saw the man slowly turning to look at her, she explained, "Actually usually kids don't sleep that easily in someone's arms. But she did it all so easily and that too getting into such a deep sleep. She might not be sleeping well recently." 

??Feng Shufen turned to look back at WeiWei. How could he not know this? It was not like Li Wei wasn't sleeping well. She was sleeping, but her sleep had gotten all empty without her mother. So, after so many days, now that she got back the embrace of her Mama, she couldn't help but let go of the burden she had been emotionally holding all this while. 

??"She is sleeping well but she is missing her mother." He slowly said and Li Xue's gaze turned back to stare at the sleeping princess. 

??"If she is missing her, why don't you ask her mother to come back. I mean, it's not good to keep a kid as young as her away from her mother." She said and Feng Shufen at once turned to look at her. His eyes grew deep and under his gaze like that, Li Xue almost turned nervous. 

??"I- I mean she is too young. Anyone could clearly see she misses her mother a lot. To an extent where now she even started calling a stranger her mother." 

??Feng Shufen's fingers clenched but still holding his emotions with his best, he said, "For some reason, she can't come." 

??Li Xue didn't understand. After all, which mother couldn't come to see her daughter who is missing her like this? Wasn't seeing an adorable face like the little one's filled with longingness and desperation too painful? If it had been her daughter, there could be no way, she would have thought to ever leave her like this. 

??"But she needs her. What's keeping her mother away? Isn't she too heartless to do that with her own daughter?" Although Li Xue knew it was not her place to say, she couldn't hold back herself at the moment. Before she realized it, the words had already left her lips and she could no longer take them back.

??She slowly turned to look at Feng Shufen and she was about to explain but his cold expression took her off guard. It felt as if she had offended him somehow. He must be a loving husband who loved his wife very much. That's why just with a few words against his wife, he was like this. 

??Unknowingly when Li Xue thought it that way, she felt an unsettling feeling in her heart. She couldn't be sure whether what she was feeling was envy or something else. But for some reason, she was not too happy to see him like this for a woman. 

??She felt her feelings like this to be wrong. And with a guilty conscience, she was about to apologize for her words when she heard him say instead. 

??"Thank you for helping her today. As for the inconvenience that you suffered, sorry." Feng Shufen said, looking at her face. She couldn't read her exact intentions but he could tell that she was unhappy. 

??When Li Xue heard him say both thank you and sorry at the same time, an unconscious part of her mind made her remember something. She didn't know whether it was from her memories or her own mind before she knew the words came out of her lips. "The combination of thank you and sorry at the same time … isn't it amusing President Feng? I mean I have never heard both of them together. Anyway, since you have brought it like that, are you only going to show your gratitude and apology verbally?" 

??She said and her words like that stunned Feng Shufen. The memory of their first meeting back at Carnation Hills surfaced in his thoughts. He said something the same that night when she had thanked him for helping WeiWei and apologized for crashing into him. 

??Does that mean she has remembered it? His expression turned complicated as he stared at her, trying to confirm if she remembered their past or if it was just some coincidence. 

??But even after staring for some time, he wasn't able to tell because she looked all normal with her expression. As if, she said nothing different. 

??Feeling slightly disappointed, he looked at her and asked, "How do you want me to put them into action? You can state it and I will do it." 

??He said and Li Xue stared at him. She hadn't thought of it actually. She said it on a whim as the words came to her mind.
