Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 922 - The World Is Crazy, Not Stupid.

It was not hard for anyone to read between Wen Sying's words. She was blatantly pushing the blame of three of their falling relationships on her shoulders. Since Li Xue understood it well, she was sure others would have understood it as well.

Shaking her head she looked around. Her eyes went to pause at Feng Shufen, who as usual was on his work. She couldn't understand that if he had work why does he have to take the difficulty to tag along with her like this. She likes his companionship as well but at the cost of adding to his workload, she would never agree.

She looked around at the people who were there but their existence felt more like non-existence. All credit should go to the man whom they were seeing for the first time but knowing well of his authority.

She was yet to get dressed. Arranged in the moving vanity there was everything for her needs. Stylists were present along with the make-up team. They were halfway done with the things but were still waiting to look at the dress so that they could proceed with the rest.

In such an atmosphere even though she wanted to joke, her voice sounded really serious. "What do you all think? Should I get ready as a heartbroken woman, whose love of life is going to get married to some other woman?" Her words confused the people around but one person's expressions and eyes turned sharp at her choice of words.

Feng Shufen's eyes shot up to look at Li Xue, slowly narrowing at her, getting dark. "Did you say anything?" He asked and his tone held a warning for the woman, which not at all affected her.

Shrugging her shoulders, she feigned full innocence to accept, "Yes, I was asking for everyone's opinion. At the engagement party later, how should I go? Should I go like a heartbroken woman whose beloved is getting married to someone else?"

The air inside the vanity van changed and all of a sudden everyone started feeling suffocated. None understood what happened until they saw the challenging look the man was exchanging with the woman at the front. Though the woman was looking all innocent, the tease she was holding in her eyes wasn't amiss.

Madam, we are already out of wits seeing you with President Feng. Could you not scare us more? For a day, a shock is enough. Feeling helpless, the team of staff requested Li Xue in their heart. But Li Xue wasn't the Almighty to hear their heart wishes instantly. So the torture continued.

"Dare to say that again!" Feng Shufen warned again and at his warning, everyone but Li Xue remained unflinched.

Blinking her eyes, she asked, "What? Asking your opinion?"

"Darling, you are testing my patience. Don't you think you are getting too easy-minded around me?" Knowing the play well, Feng Shufen said. His lips tugged up in a smirk that screamed to tell that although he knew that it was just her play, he was still getting greatly affected.

"When was I not tough-minded around you?" Li Xue replied simply, holding her jaws and raising the brows at the man, giving him an equal challenge. Her face held a smile of innocence that was enough for the man to understand how much she believed her knowledge of him.

Even if Feng Shufen was at loss, he still felt he was winning, seeing the confidence of the woman in him. There was nothing he could do. Pinching the skin between his brows, he was ready to accept the defeat when heard the woman say from the front.

"Umm … I guess we should forget that idea. Attending the engagement more with a jubilant expression will suit me. After all, I am a model not an actress with amazing acting skills to pretend something that's not true." Li Xue said as a matter of fact while adding something more towards the end. "Furthermore, even if I pretend to be heartbroken, who would believe in me after seeing me dressed in the dress from the brand of Elvis? The world is crazy, not stupid. What all of you guys say?"

She asked and did the people around really have any say in that?

Nope! So they just nodded and agreed. "Yes, Madam. That would be better". They said in unison, making Li Xue smile.

Right at that moment, a knock at the door interrupted them then pushing it open, next came Gao Fan. "I am sorry Madam. It got delayed on the way, but the dress is finally here." He said as he presented forward a well-packed dress with the seal Elvis over it and a card of gratitude tagged on the side.

Li Xue smiled at Gao Fan before plucking the card to say. "You already helped me, Mr. Secretary. I could not complain. Thank you is all that I can say. So, thank you, Mr. Secretary for arranging this."? While reading the card, her smile deepened – A heartfelt gratitude to Mrs. Feng for choosing Elvis. We are honored to serve you!

Gao Fan politely smiled before bowing and accepting, "I didn't do anything, Madam. Everything was arranged by President Feng."

Li Xue knew that well. "I know, but still it has been you running to get it here, so it will only be better to thank you. As for your President, I could only praise him for having such diligent people around." She said, turning her gaze to look at the man whose eyes had been on her for a good time now.

"By the way, Mr. Secretary, did you deliver Su Fai the matching outfit of this? I mean he would be accompanying me to the party and he as well would need a suit." Remembering suddenly, Li Xue asked turning back to look at Gao Fan.

To which the secretary hesitated. His eyes doubtfully turned to stare at Feng Shufen before informing, "That, Madam, we have delivered a suit to CEO Su, but it is not a matching pair of this dress. But don't worry, the pair he has received has suited him well."

Something between his words felt amiss. Li Xue's eyes alternated between the secretary and Feng Shufen before asking suspiciously, "What does that mean? And why are you looking at your President before replying to me? Is there a problem?" She asked and maintaining his confidence Gao Fan shook his head.

"Nope, Madam. There isn't …" Gao Fan started to explain but his words were interrupted midway by Feng Shufen.

"The needed arrangements are made. You don't have to worry about all that. It's getting late, you should go and get ready first or you will be late." He said and Li Xue could only stare at him with questions written on her expression. Though she wanted to know what they were hiding, she also knew she was getting late and she needed to reach the venue first. For the later things, she would see afterward.

So nodding to the man, she gestured to the team to follow her inside.. But that was not before giving a very suspicious look to both Feng Shufen and Gao Fan.
