Chapter 393 - Bees over your sack of sugar.

"Madam, Master is not at home and will not be back for one week!" Sister Margaret said when saw Li Xue happily turning around to move upstairs. In the morning, she had guessed everything right. The couple was having some ups and downs in between them, or else, instead of desperation in her tone and eyes, the woman would have had an urge to meet the Young Master.

Li Xue's steps halted as she turned around in surprise to ask, "Will not be coming home for a week? Why? Did he get some family emergency?" Her brows got scrunched in confusion. Leaving her alone like this was not his character. How could she believe that he went away just like that?

Was he that upset? Didn't he say that he will always keep his best patience with her?

She questioned his patience at a time but then in another second counterattacked it with her own flaws.

She must have crossed his bottom line this time. Why didn't she give any attention to her words? Why didn't she think his patience might too have its limits?

Li Xue blamed herself more and more while waiting for Sister Margaret to say something.

"No, no, Madam! There is nothing like you are thinking. On a sudden emergency notice from one of the Feng International's branches overseas, Young Master has to leave to check the things there. Earlier Secretary Gao had called to inform that it will take at least a week to settle the things over there". The old lady informed, assuring her. But Li Xue was now too much drowned in her own self-blame that no assurance can cast its effect on her.

Still nodding, she said, "I got that Sister Margaret. I will go up and change first. If you want and if there is nothing left here then you can also go back and rest first. There is no need to cook dinner for us. The breakfast from the morning is still in the refrigerator and for WeiWei, I would cook something plain, myself."

She said and the old lady was instantly troubled. This was definitely not according to the orders she has been given. In the morning too, the woman has left the house without having breakfast. The master was yet to know this, correspondingly, she was yet to know her penalty.

And if again for dinner, the lady of the house stresses on having leftover food from the morning then …

"Madam, there is no need to have the food from breakfast now. They would no longer be fresh and being left in refrigerators for such long hours, the taste would also be no good. And Young Master will definitely not want to see you forsaking your health in his absence. I will quickly cook something fresh and good before you come back from getting fresh". The old lady said with a slight panic-stricken voice.

Li Xue smiled, looking at her like that. But happiness was the last thing she was feeling inside her heart. "It's fine, Sister Margaret. You don't have to worry. Shufen is not here to know and even if he was here then too, I don't think he would have been in any mood to look if I have got meals on time. Let him enjoy his business trip for a week while we will enjoy our rest and freedom here".

She said and then turned around to walk off. At this moment, more than feeling bad in herself, she was feeling frustrated at the man. How dare he pulled such a childish stunt with her? Is he planning to run away every time they fight like this? Wasn't it have been more fair to torture her by remaining in front of her eyes?

Fine, if he thinks so then let him be like that. She will also let him know the things very well. Just let him come back.?She thought as a forced smile covered her lips.

"Mama, is there anything wrong?" Little Li Wei suddenly asks, seeing her mother getting in weird moods. "Are you upset with Daddy Angel again?" She added more exactness in her question as she looked at her mother, tilting her head on both sides with some thought.

Li Xue's eyes squinted at her daughter. "WeiWei, you won't be having your Daddy Angel at your help today. So better complete your homework on time. I will check it after dinner". She said and then directly walked upstairs to her room.

The little girl looked at her Mama leaving and could only shake her head. "Mama is in a really bad mood today. Sister – Granny Margaret, WeiWei will run to complete her homework first". She said, turning to the old woman and then getting off the sofa quickly ran off in the direction of the study room.

Upstairs, Li Xue was walking back and forth in the room while trying the call. But every time she tried; the same message was delivered. THE NUMBER YOU ARE TRYING IS NOT AVAILABLE TO RECEIVE YOUR CALL.

"Mr Beelzebub, you better not return this week or else I will make sure to show you my worst side. Arghh!" she growled in a low frustrated breath as her grip on the phone increased. But then again, the guilt was no less in her heart to let go of the things as easy as she was making it sound.

Huffing a deep breath out she looked at her phone.?Her stares were no less than the sharp glaring daggers. Only if it had been Shufen instead of a mere gadget then he would have known the piercing pain she was intending to give him at this moment of time.

Biting her lower lip with some thought she finally fiddled her phonebook to get a number. Dialling it she waited for the call to get connected. The moment it did, her air and aura got a mask of calmness on as she greeted, "Good evening, Director Qi! I hope I am not disturbing your work."

"No, no, not at all, Sister – in – law! How can that be? Since you have called, then tell me how can I help you?" Qi Shuai asked, getting all cheerful on the other side.

Li Xue instantly closed her eyes in embarrassment. Though she has connected the call, she has nothing definite to say. Scratching her forehead slightly, she said with some hesitation. "Umm … I just wanted to ask how have you been? I have heard Shufen mention that you have not been in good health these days. So, are you in your best health now?"

"…" No reply came for a good moment of time and Li Xue almost thought that the call had got disconnected. She was about to heave a sigh of relief when suddenly, mild sobs came from the other side.

"Director Qi, are you fine?" she asked, getting all confused.

"Xiao Xue, you are so good to me. (sobs) No one ever cared to call me to ask about my health but you did. Thank you very much for calling me" he said, taking a pause between her sobs and with a great determination he said, "Seeing your care for me, sister – in – law, I promise … I promise to always remain loyal to you. I will always help you take care of Shufen and will also make sure that no bee comes to fly over your sack of sugar".

He said, placing his hands over his heart, though Li Xue was not there to see his gesture of determination.

"Ahh … thank you, Director Qi. Though you don't have to bother" Li Xue said with small laughter of hesitation and then added, "By the way, do you know where Shufen …"

Before her words could get completed the man on the other side said with great regret, "I am really sorry, Sister – in – law. I should have accompanied Shufen for you, but sigh! My health is really not good these days and furthermore, that place is not safe at this moment. That's why he restricted me from coming along".

"Not safe? Wasn't he just on a business trip? What's not safe in it?" She asked, not understanding well.

But Qi Shuai on the other side just coughed a little to dodge the bullet and said, "Ahh … Sister – in – law, there is nothing to worry. I just over-spoken things. You know how I am! I always love to make a mountain of a molehill. I just did that but never knew that you would go this worried".

Though his words sounded simple, somewhere Li Xue was not finding it proper to accept.
