Chapter 637 - Are you not to be blamed?

At night, Li Xue stared at the distance, towards the depth of darkness. Her expressions gleaming with satisfaction and contentment. A faint smile was laying on her lips adding up more of the shine to her beauty in the dimness of the pole light.

Suddenly she felt someone's hand getting wrapped around her waist. Her facial curl lifted more in response to it, knowing who actually was there. "It's already late night. Won't you sleep? You have a company to look after." She said, slightly turning in between his arms to look at him.

Feng Shufen silently stared, slowly brushing off the strands of hair that were coming on her face. "I just finished my work in the study and went to see you in your room. But you were not there. So, I came to find you here".

Li Xue raised her brows at his words. "Went to see me in my room? What's so special in seeing me in sleep?" She asked. Of course, she knew that the man has got the habit of seeing her sleep every night. She could feel his presence in her room every night but even knowing him there, she never did anything to interrupt him. Maybe that was what people call being comfortable around someone, where you never hesitate showing your worst clumsy side to the person.

The man shrugged his shoulders in nothingness before shaking his head in support of his gesture. "My heart calms seeing you beside me, enjoying the peace and tranquility". He replied and the woman only smiled more at his words. If she has heard them somewhere else, she would have doubted the sincerity in it. But with this man saying it by himself, she could not bear to lack certainty.

She nodded to his brief explanation, understanding well about what it meant. "I understood. Let me try the same next time to take the feel". She said before placing her head onto his c.h.e.s.t to lean on him for a moment. She could lean in there for the whole of her life but at that moment, she only planned it for a few minutes. But her plans were interrupted the very other moment as the phone in her pajama's pocket rang, breaking their sweet moment.

Closing her eyes at someone's bad timing, she cursed a little in her breath before moving a little away to look at the call. Feng Shufen didn't stop her either, but his eyes stared at her phone screen getting a little cold.

Li Xue's eyes also flashed with amus.e.m.e.nt when she saw who was the caller on the phone. She was expecting his ring to come, but never knew that it would come this late. She thought at least he would wait for the next morning, after all, his beloved girlfriend was still lying on the hospital bed.

Without explaining much, she accepted the call towards the end, just before it could go dead and put it on the speaker. That was not her explanation of her action but she was not in the mood to give someone else more importance than her Mr. Beelzebub. So, she decided it that way, giving a short glance to Feng Shufen.

"Hello! CEO Zheng, you are calling me this late. I hope Ms. Wen is fine and she has not complained anything about me to you." Li Xue greeted the moment she accepted the call. She has never been a personality to give the chance to the other person on the call to begin the talk, feeling that it might take away her opportunity to speak her exact thoughts and plans.

For a good moment of time nothing came from the other side of the call, like the man was hesitating with his words. Li Xue remained patient to his hesitation and allowed him to take his time in making the decision.

After some time, she heard him say. "Sying is fine. The injuries were not that bad".

Li Xue's brows got raised in amus.e.m.e.nt, but she still hummed. "That's good to hear. I will see if I get some time to formally visit her, after all she got tangled with me in such a big topic today". Her aloof voice perfectly amalgamating her courtesy with the sarcasm.

"…" No reply came from the other side, but she knew her words and intentions were clearly heard.

"If there is nothing else, I will hang up first, CEO Zheng". Li Xue said and was about to disconnect the call when suddenly heard Zheng Wenting halting her.

"Xiao Xue … I mean Li Xue, wait! Don't disconnect the call".

Maybe in comparison to all the other times, Li Xue's indifference seemed not too serious which gave the man the courage to stop her like this, giving him hope that she would stop on his call. And for the first time his hope was not wrong.

Li Xue paused her movements. The beep of disconnection didn't come to hit the man's ears, rather he heard the woman's sympathetic but polite voice.

"Yes, CEO Zheng! Is there anything else with which I could help you?"

"I …", Zheng Wenting struggled at the start but then continued, "Li Xue, I heard the audio you sent".

"Oh, you did? That's great".

"Li Xue, believe me I didn't know anything about this plan. I even had no idea that Sying would ever go to this extent against you. But still whatever happened I want to apologize and let you know that I have never been involved into this and …" Zheng Wenting tried to explain his stance but paused the moment he heard the small chuckle from the other side.

Li Xue did not expect the man to believe her sent audio this fast. Though there was Sying's voice in it, she still had expected him to say that she might have forged Sying's voice in it. But to her surprise, nothing such happened.

"Though I have forwarded that audio to you CEO Zheng, my intention has never been to let you know Ms. Wen's wrongs. It was to make you understand where you are lacking. So that after you get to understand it, the mess around becomes a little less", Li Xue said. Her eyes, showing the hints of sympathetic pity for him, even though he was not able to see her.

"What do you mean, Li Xue? Are you saying that I am the one to be blamed for all this?" Zheng Wenting did not understand. He was accused of the sudden accusation. At the moment, he just wanted to explain all again that he was not involved, but for that he needed to understand the blame to the exact.

"Are you not to be blamed, CEO Zheng?"
