Chapter 1402: Giving you the opportunity. Enjoy!
Soon Li Xue and Feng Shufen drove their way in the direction of Our Paradise. But just when they were half way, Li Xue received the call. When she checked, it was Chen Rui calling her.
Her brows tugged in a frown as she turned to give a small look to Feng Shufen. When he felt her eyes on himself, he turned to look at her. "What happened? Who is it?"
"Did my parents force you to leave me with them? Or did you just leave me there for my own good?" Li Xue asked suddenly and Feng Shufen understood what she was referring to.
Turning his head back to focus on the road, he didn't speak for quite a moment. But then after a short while he said, "They were your parents and they wanted your best. So, don't think too much. What they did was right. Any parent would have done the same."
He said and then moved his hand on the steering wheel with all ease. He expected to hear Li Xue speak but when he didn't hear her saying anything, he turned to look at her only to find her expression getting stern.
"You don't have to think so much. Do you think I would have been any less if someone would have tried to harm my daughter, my WeiWei?" Feng Shufen said and Li Xue at once defended him.
"You weren't the one responsible for what happened to me that day. Moreover, you even warned me to not leave your side. Still being stubborn, I overruled your advice and left on my own. If I wouldn't had done that then maybe things would have turned out differently. So, don't blame yourself."
She said, but Feng Shufen would never buy those words. Bringing a small curl of guilt, he said, "Whether I was to be blamed or not, I know one thing that I failed to protect you at that time. And given the mistake I committed; Father has still treated me fairly. Otherwise, if there would have been someone else, they would have …"
"You are crazy. Didn't I say that you are not to be blamed?" Before he could even complete his speech, Li Xue snapped at him. And Feng Shufen was ready to explain his words when once again the phone in the hand of Li Xue rang.
Li Xue gazed at it again to find Chen Rui ringing her up. She stared at the phone screen again and just when the phone would have died after a few more rings, she heard Feng Shufen speak from the side.
"You should pick up the call and let her know. Seeing you on the news, she must have gotten worried for you." He said and Li Xue turned to give a look to him before swiftly moving her fingers to receive the call.
"Hello, Ma!" She answered the call, keeping her eyes on Feng Shufen.
Chen Rui on the other end of the call sighed in relief when she heard the girl sounding fine. "Oh dear, you finally have picked up the call. I was so worried. How are you? Are you fine? You didn't get hurt, right?"
Sensing the concern in her voice, Li Xue's expression eased a bit. Her heart that had turned cold felt warm and coughing slightly, she said, "I am alright. Just returning back home to WeiWei. She must be waiting for me. Let me call you once I get back."
She said subtly and was ready to disconnect the call, when the tone of Chen Rui changed and she quickly said, "Wait, Li Xue. You can't go back there."
"Why so?" Li Xue's brows tugged in a frown. Although she has not yet told anyone except Shufen about her memory recovery, she never had any plans to keep it a secret. So, if Chen Rui tried to keep her away from her family any longer, then maybe for a moment, she would even forget the emotions of dearness she held in heart for her at that moment.
Chen Rui also guessed the irritation in her Li Xue's tone. To not bother her too much, she molded herself back to her composure and spoke in a rather calm voice. "Nothing too much. It's just that we are here to talk with the Fengs. Your father has seen everything on the news and has come here to talk it straight."
She said and then taking a small pause, she continued, "Darling, I know Little WeiWei must be waiting for you back at home. But this is something important. Please come to the Feng main mansion first. You can go back afterwards."
She said, and Li Xue's brows not for once eased. Instead, she remained silent for a while as if contemplating her decision inside her head. After a while, she nodded to herself before replying, "Fine, we will be there soon."
Saying that she disconnected the call and Chen Rui turned to look at the Shin Tinming to inform, "They are on their way. Might reach us anytime soon." Then slowly, her eyes darted to look at Yun Yunchun and Feng Yu Hao, who were sitting side by side.
On the other side, after Li Xue disconnected the call, she turned to look at Feng Shufen and said expressionlessly, "We have to go to the main mansion. So steer the car in that direction."
Feng Shufen turned to look at her. When Li Xue felt his eyes on herself, she pursed her lips and said, "What are you looking at me for? It's not like I called them there. Instead, it's them who are asking us there. So don't look at me like I am the one who is going there to start the war. Furthermore, I am not a bloodthirsty general who would seek the blood of your considered in-laws."
She said, getting all annoyed. And Feng Shufen almost found it hard to hold back his chuckle. "I thought it would have sounded better if you referred to them as your parents, rather than my in-laws."
Li Xue scoffed. "Heh! Even if they are my parents, you seem to adore them better than me. So, I am giving you the opportunity. Enjoy."
"I …"
"Don't worry, I won't act rash. Drive there and I promise I will keep a note of my words."
Before Feng Shufen could even start, Li Xue spoke, cutting him off and showing him the direction to drive.

NOT RELATED TO THE CHAPTER.
Dear readers,
First of all, sorry! These days I am hardly updating because of my busy schedule at the college. But believe me I am trying my level best to manage it. it will take time but I am sure I will be able to do it soon. Just to let you know I will not leave the book on hiatus. I will complete it soon. This book would have been completed a way back if I have been on my usual update schedule. But again I am sorry for not able to do it.
But I promise from today on, I will try to not miss any day without an update. But you guys have also to be patient. There are two thing you would need to understand.
1.) As I said, I can't ignore my studies and just focus on the book. I need to take them both together. And for that I am explaining today that my master degree is divided in different blocks which has test after ever 15 days. I can't explain much about the study model of my college here. But to keep it short, I will say that because of that test every month I will not be able to update for four days. You have to be understanding to me in those days.
2.) There will be an update everyday i.e. in every 24 hours. Don't complain until 24 hrs gets crossed.
I hope you all will understand.
Yours truly,
Scarlet.
