Chapter 67 - Truly devil in his tricks

Li Xue's eyes got wide in surprise when she saw a man delivering a trolley bag at their house. She turned to look at the man in disbelief. Didn't he say that someone will deliver only a pair of slippers here? Then what was with this big bag? Not actually a big bag, it was a small one but what was the need? She thought to herself

"This? What is this, President Feng?" she asked as her eyes remained fixed at the bag, trying her best to scan its insides.

"Necessary things", he replied curtly as he closed the door of the house behind his back.

"If you don't mind me asking then can you specify it?". She asked, giving an expression of sheer helplessness. She has really lost her all rationality around him or she can say no reason was capable to reason out Mr. Beelzebub's action.

So without wasting any cells of her brain or time, she directly asked the question from the man himself. "Pairs of spare clothes, slippers and few bathroom tools", he said nonchalantly like his words were very simple and there was nothing wrong in it.

His confidence while stating his words were enough to confound her. She looked at him and didn't know how she should react to his words. The more she is trying to be polite with him, the more he was testing out her limits. "Are you planning to shift here? Why would you need all these things?"

Li Xue asked, not caring about anything. With this man, she has always found herself lacking in wits and reasons. If it was that way, then what is the use of showing herself all intelligent and brainy. It would be better to be direct.

"Didn't you say to make myself comfortable? I can't be comfortable in my formal clothes", Feng Shufen said while walking past her in nonchalance. It made it look like he was the owner of the place and she has come to visit him.

Was this the meaning of being comfortable? She never meant it like that. Did her words were wrongly interpreted? She was in her thoughts when she heard the man ask, "I need to freshen up. Help me guide the direction"

"Huh?"

The man didn't say anything and just raised his brows, then leaving the bag aside he moved towards her taking his sweet time. Looking at him coming closer, the woman grew anxious and started stepping backwards until her back felt the door behind.

"Are you getting anxious in my presence?" he questioned. His voice gets soft and magnetic, trying to trap her deep within.

Li Xue shook her head, "N - No, not at all. I am …"

"Then why are your cheeks getting so red? I thought you were not interested in me but it seems my closeness is affecting you", he said getting closer to her, close enough where only two steps were enough to crash into her body.

His cold breath that was slightly hitting her skin was making her body stiffen on its own. Engraving his presences in her senses deeply. She herself was bewildered thinking that he was having such a strong effect on her when they had only met one day back.

Was this because she has not been this close to any man in her long past years? The only thing she can blame at this moment was her hormones which are going a little out of control around him.

The more she looked, the more she felt him charming and the more she felt overwhelmed. At a point she felt that if this continues then for sure, she will become a boy – crazy woman, or more like crazy for him.

'No, no Li Xue! Get hold of yourself', she chanted internally as some type of mantra and tried her best to bring back the determination, the determination which has started to waver in her heart.

She looked at him and said. Her voice trying its best to get firm and resolute, "Ye – yes, you are right. I am not interested in you. You are my boss, and just admire you for your achievements".

Feng Shufen raised his brows more. Looking at her this close he could not help but feel an urge to touch her soft spotless skin. She looked more beautiful and breathtaking from this proximity. But no he can't be hasty in his actions. With her, he needs the pills of patience so that she could get comfortable around him and lower her guards.

It was more like he has to cook a frog with warm water so that it doesn't run away getting scared.

"Oh I see. So you admire me. Even if it is for my work, I am there in your heart. That's good", he said giving one last intense look into her eyes, before stepping back.

"Huh? What heart? No not at all", Li Xue almost panicked at his words, yet the man was all calm and sober. She was about to repeat her words again to give a more clear explanation but the man didn't let her.

He interjected his own words, "Where is the washroom. I need to freshen up too". Saying this he looked around the house like he was trying to find the room on his own but the woman has come to understand his little tricks now. This man was truly a devil in his tricks. But was she any less? No, she will let him know that she was not that easy to be subdued.

"President Feng, you better not change the topi …", she said as she lunged forward, without noticing the small steps in front of her. As a result, her feet got struck at the edge of it, giving her a fall of horror. "Ahhh!" she half yelled in fear, thinking that she will surely be breaking her knees.

But at this moment a hand held her wrist and easily made her stable. His skin felt cold and shivering, something like fear. Was he scared? Why? It was her who was about to fall!

Her eyes subconsciously got locked on his face which was not giving any hints of his internal emotions or feelings. That expressionless face of his made her question her own thoughts.

Did I just feel some kind of weird illusion?

"Are you fine?" he asked, his words not giving anything but deep into his eyes there was a concern which he was hiding. Looking at him like that, she has lost all her words to state. So she simply nodded and continued looking at him, silently.

Both have already forgotten their surroundings when suddenly a soft voice broke their trance. "Mama! Handsome Angel!"
