Chapter 900 - A Man Who Could Betray Once, Can Repeat It Twice.

Li Xue squinted her eyes at Feng Shufen as she pursed her lips. "You still want to ask that and feign innocence? Like really?" She asked and Feng Shufen just remained silent, as if waiting for her to be more precise and clear. But Li Xue didn't say anything anymore. Instead, she turned to look away. And the car returned back to silence.

Soon the car entered Our Paradise and before Feng Shufen could make any move to help her, Li Xue already stepped out of the car and walked inside the house.

Feng Shufen could only stare at her from behind, before following after her. Ascending the stairs, they walked to the room where Li Xue comfortably tucked Li Wei inside the blanket before adjusting the lights to its dimness.

Once done, she turned around only to find the man standing at the door, staring at her with a guilt-stricken face. Li Xue sighed looking at him like that before shaking her head to walk up to him. Holding him by her hands, she didn't say anything to him but pulled him out of the room, closing the door behind her.

"Li Xue, I …" Seeing her not saying anything like that, for a moment Feng Shufen felt like she was upset with him. But before he could say anything, Li Xue hushed him silent, easing her expressions for him.

Not holding in her curiosity, she said, "Mr. Beelzebub, I am not able to take this anymore. At first, I thought I had the patience and I could hold it in until one day you reveal it yourself. But today seeing you losing your composure so easily, I don't think I can continue it any longer. So I am asking you today, tell me about your past. The past that is capable of making you restless."

She asked, before adding more, "Though I know remembering the past could make people uncomfortable, still, I want to know. I heard Her Highness mentioning your mother. Is she …"

"She was my mother's best friend. The friend whom once my mother considered more than family". Feng Shufen's brows furrowed as his face turned all cold and serious. There was pain evident in his eyes but more than that pain there was anger. Anger for the people whom he could dare not to hate now.

Elsewhere, in some sophisticated restaurant's private room,

Yun Yuchun sat with all her usual grace and elegance, sipping the white wine from her goblet. Though her expressions held the softness, the sharpness in her eyes was as well not a lie.

Across him sat a man in his middle age, that held the confidence in his demeanor. But even with his best confidence, he wasn't able to match his eyes with the lady. There was respect in his attitude which only denoted one thing. His loyalty!

"Ms. Yun, Zhen Qinrou has not been making any special moves these days. Her attitude has been very melancholic these days as if she has lost someone very important from her side. Except for visiting some ladies from the relative sides, she has not gone anywhere else. It seems like the slain of her partner, Pan Hong, has taken her hard." He said and his information made the lady raise his brows in amusement.

"Really? Mr. Guo, you have been working as an assistant for Feng Yu Hao for so many years already, yet you consider visiting the relative-ladies to be easy? Do you not know what those are capable of in that family?" Yun Yuchun said and the assistant was instantly silent with her words.

Bowing his head with some apology, he said, "I am sorry for my slack, Ms. Yun. Amid so much happening in the family, I might have forgotten to see it in the other way. From the next time, I will try not to repeat the same."

He said and Yun Yuchun didn't reply anything in favor of his apology. "Qinrou might look weak at the moment, but we don't have to consider her as weak. I am pretty sure, by now she must have already started bringing Zhang Xiaotong in everyone's favorite books. And bringing her into the story would weaken Li Xue's stance. Something that would not be in our plan. So you better not slack off next time."

She said and at her orders, Assistant Guo nodded. "I would dare not. But Ms. Yun, can I ask you why did you choose Ms. Li Xue? I mean that night the things were crucial and there was no other way. But after that sequence, we got both the opportunities and ways to slew Ms. Li Xue off the picture. Why did you still keep her safe from every danger?"

Yun Yuchun smiled as for once her expression softened. "Because she was Li Xue. It has to be her. That was not us who chose her there but it was destiny who brought her there at the same night when we needed her the most."

She said and the assistant didn't understand it quite well. "Ms. Yun, that …"

"Assistant Guo, you would not get my choices well now, but wait, the future would reveal everything to everyone. Both the destiny that's written and also the reason behind my choices." The lady interrupted to say, regaining back her composure. "For now, I would just like to thank you for not just the past but also the future. You have not just helped me flee away from the fire twelve years back but also for remaining in the family being my eyes and ears. Without you, I would not be able to save Shufen five years back. Thank you!"

Yun Yuchun said and the assistant just bowed his head. "That was my duty towards the main lady of the family. How could I betray you?"

Yun Yuchun looked at the man and shook her head. "I am no longer the main lady of the family. Don't denote me with the same title anymore. Furthermore, I want to ask you one thing. The last time Yu Hao saw me in the restaurant, I went away. After that, did he pursue the matter?"

Assistant Guo shook his head. "I have handled it well. Though he asked me to search for you when I informed him about your traces being erased, he believed me". He said and Yun Yuchun nodded to him.

But there remained a hesitation in the man's eyes, Looking up at her slightly, he said, "Ms. Yun, all these years, Old Master has really missed you a lot. Do you not see a chance …" Before he could complete his words, the woman interrupted coldly.

"A man who can betray once can betray twice as well. There is no point in giving him a second chance!"

"But Madam, what about Young Master? Last time, believing the palace to be one of the reasons behind your disappearance, he went there with half of the commando army and military tanker. What if …"

"Shufen has grown up. He is no longer the same. So the possibility of the past repeating itself is not too much." The lady said with a firmer tone as her memories went back to remember everything that happened that year.
