Chapter 274 - Useless game.

Dr Collin soon left the room after doing a check on Yi Lan. "She will be fine after a few days' rest. But for betterment it will be preferable to let her be here at least for today so that we can look after her" he said and Li Xue being the best mother of the child agreed to the idea in an instant.

All this time Li Xue's eyes were fixed at the weird repulsion between her friend and the overdramatic Director, trying her best to find the reason for the tense air between them. However, she thought about it she just could not put a sure finger on the things. Was she just over reading a simple scene into something complex?

Feng Shufen and Qi Shuai had taken their seats at the side sofa and were discussing their things. Suddenly when Shufen felt her eyes wandering over them, he paused his words to look at her, only to find her a little confused over something.

Though he has found her confused face always an adorable one, he won't want her to stress over something. Seeing her lost into something that can exhaust her would be the last thing he would ever want. If this makes people call him possessive for that then he doesn't give a damn. Not like he ever cared about what they thought about him.

"We have been out for quite a while now. WeiWei is alone back at home. We should get back to her now" he said on which Li Xue instantly interrupted.

"But Yi Lan is like this. We can't leave her here alone".

"She will not be alone. Qi Shuai will keep her company here", Feng Shufen said without giving any thought to his words but it instantly made the two people's spine go rigid. "Like always!" he added to his words to be more exact.

"I am not a child that I would need a babysitter to keep me company every time. I am a grown a.d.u.l.t and I am all-sufficient to keep myself company. So there is no need to bother Director Qi here! He must have worked back at the place to attend". Yi Lan said as her eyes avoided the face of Qi Shuai adamantly.

Feng Shufen's lips curled up at one side, forming an arc of slight mockery as he said, "Grown-up? Pulling such childish pranks on your brother, using your Sister – in – law as a bait … which idiot tagged you as a grown-up when you are not even near to be compared to a toddler."

"You … Brother, why do you have to bully me like this?" she said getting all agitated at him but the man has seen much better of her acts than this.

Ignoring her childish snorting, he turned to look at his friend and simply said, "Let's go out for a moment. I have something to talk to you". Then giving a last meaningful glance towards Li Xue, he sauntered off the room.

Qi Shuai too pulled a plain smile and followed his friend out. Though he tried, Yi Lan's words and ignorant eyes have now started to hurt him in the worst way that he could have ever imagined. He has known always that the pain he was bringing on himself, all knowingly would to hurt him the worst but has never thought that it could even get this unbearable.

Once they had left, Li Xue turned back to look at her friend. Her eyes asked her something which Feng Yi Lan was deliberately ignoring.

"You see, why I call my brother a cruel Devil! He just doesn't want to pamper me, instead loves to bully me. Which big brother does that? Hmph!" she said as she slumped her back on the pillow behind her to get in a comfortable position.

"Yi Lan, I know I told you that I am fine with you not telling me anything, right at this moment and believe me I used all my patience for it. But now I feel like I cannot take it anymore. Can you tell me what's going on between you and Director Qi?" Li Xue asked, heaving out a sigh of exhaustion. She has really got herself tired from maintaining her eyes on these two dramatic-heads.

Feng Yi Lan looked at her but did not say anything useful, "Huh? What are you saying? There is nothing going on". She has decided to play the fair innocent role so that the matter could just slide off at ease.

But little did she expect that Li Xue would not be backing off that easily. Turning her eyes all sharp at her, Li Xue asked in a challenging tone, about which Feng Yi Lan was well aware of.

"Really? There is not any such thing. Are you sure? I am asking you again"

Gulping down the hesitation she held in the throat, Yi Lan replied with a nod. "Yes, I cannot be more sure about anything! What can there be except that Director Qi is my brother's best friend"

Li Xue maintained her eyes at her for quite some moment, knowing the best that there was a big hole in the stories of innocence her Yi Lan was creating. "Seems like my little, adorable kitty has learned to cover her traces of secrets from my eyes. Fine, you made me realize that it's my high time to sharpen my prowess. No time left to lack behind now".

"Haha … Li Xue, what traces and prowess are you talking about? Have you transmigrated into a thriller – fantasy novel? There is really nothing! Don't think too much." She defended but Li Xue knew her friend extra too well to understand that the situation was not that easy and simple as it looked.

Nodding her head, she agreed to her words for the time being. "Fine, I will agree with your suggestion and story until I discover the reality myself. And believe me, darling that will be really soon."

At the same time outside in the almost empty hospital corridor, two beautiful men were standing in a pose that cannot get any better.

Though the hospital has been the busiest one out in the city, the VVIP floor of it was not something everyone could afford. This floor was reserved for the people who have got both power and wealth in society.

"So how long are you planning to play this useless game?" Shufen asked. His tone all calm, one hand tucked into his dress pant's pocket, while the other one was on the big clear glass window, from where he was seeing the running chaos around the city.

Qi Shuai was confused at words or maybe just acting ignorant, the same as Feng Yi Lan. "Shufen, don't tell you are planning for some fun day out with everyone. Are you asking for my suggestions on which games should we play there? Okay, let me think of the options" he said, trying to get his playful side back again in action. But was badly failing in putting up though.

Shufen turned his head slightly to give him a look and then again reverting it back to the city, he added, "Don't play dumb when you know that you have long reached the peak limits".
