<h4>Chapter 281 - If you could keep my charms all reserved for you to look then … what would you do?</h4>


    Taking her sweet time in the kitchen, Li Xue soon came to the door of the study room ready to knock the door. But as her fingers went to hit on the door, she halted, bracing herself internally.


    "This Mr Beelzebub surely knows how to create havoc in my head. But why am I ming him for this? It''s my fault, not his. Can''t I for once, rein my excessive doubts in my head? Always speaking my mind out without realizing that my words might hurt him too". She chided herself with some audible tone, knowing that there is no one around to hear her bbering.


    "Okay, Li Xue!" She finally cleared her mind, taking a deep breath in and then continued. "Stop condemning yourself over the past. Though the milk has already spilled, you can still try to save the remains of the pot and always refill it with a new one. There is nothing to cry over the chances you have already lost when you can always build new and better ones".


    Taking an oath with some deep certainty and some wavering uncertainty, Li Xue finally brought herself to knock at the door. She knocked once but received no answer in return.


    Twice! Still no answer!


    Thrice … still no answer!


    ''Is this man really nning to ignore me so tantly! Only in his dreams! Hmph!'' she huffed internally and pushed the door open, ready to yell her lungs out at the man.


    "Hey! Shuf …" but her voice got stuck in her throat when found the man nowhere present at his study desk. She was confused at his surprise absence and was about to leave the very room to find him around his big house.


    The thought of leaving her alone in the house just because of the conversation they had earlier, made no sense to her. That was simply not in his personality as far as she has known him; unless it meant that her words had deep scr.a.p.ed some wounds of his heart. Were her words so ins.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e before?


    Taking her steps back, she was about to jump to some conclusion but just at the perfect timing, her eyes caught a glimpse of something out of the picture. Her movements halted as her eyes took something surprising into it.


    Her brows wrinkled a little in adoration as her lips slipped out a light sound of apliment in adoration, "Aww!"


    At the side, on afortable sofa seat, the man was sitting all in rxing posture, with his head kept inclined back.


    Was he asleep? Realizing the possibility of his sleeping, Li Xue took kitty – light feet towards him. Same as some thief! Though her intentions were no less than one. She was too here to steal this precious rare adorable expression of the man whom the whole world calls as Satan!


    When reached his side, the scene was no less than her expectations. The man was truly asleep … out of fatigue, maybe. She presumed to take into consideration how tiresome hisst days were. First that back to back line of meetings, again working all night after making her go to sleep and then again today, her moving into his house and the trip to see Yi Lan in the hospital.


    "He must be so tired with those work pressures. And here I have been so ins.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e to his feelings?" she again chided herself slowly as she drew her steps more close to the man.


    Carefully crossing his long bridging leg, she hopped to his other side to take a more better look of his splendid, charming face. The soft calmness of his expression was so satisfying that she almost forgot to hold back her warm breaths inside that was hovering over the man''s face.


    "If only I have seen you like this before then I have never given you the title of Mr Beelzebub! This angelic face of yours … How can one evenpare it to the fearsome look of the Devil? Only if I could keep your charms all reserved for me to look then …" Taking the advantage of his sleep, Li Xue thought to spill some of her hidden fantasies out, all sure that it would still remain her secret since the man was all unconscious in sleep, to hear her words.


    But little did she expect that the man had long awakened from his slumber … the moment she stepped her foot in the room or maybe the moment when her first fragrant breath hit his face.


    "Then?" his words shot out all of a sudden, making the woman almost stumble back on her feet. She might have taken a fall too but the man''s reflex instincts were much better than her surprise. Before she would have taken the hit of the ground, Feng Shufen used his light strength to pull her forward to him making her take her best seat in his embrace.


    Li Xue felt a skip of a beat in her heart as she asked inplete bewilderment. "Were you pretending to sleep, the moment before?"


    "Pretense of sleep? I have never tried it", he said, all nonchntly, locking his grey orbs with her amber ones. Leaving her with no escape to run away from his question.


    "You are definitely lying. I am not going to believe it even if you say a hundred times", she said with an annoyed pout. Her annoyance was a fa?ade she has built up to hide her embarrassment behind.


    The man looked at her straight annoyed face for some moment and then said,pletely ignoring her previousints. "If you could keep my charms all reserved for you to look then … what would you do? Complete the words you have started. Don''t stop in the middle".


    He said. His voice, all maic attracting all her attention to its charms and repelling all her rationality away. "I … I wasn''t saying anything. You must be hearing things in your s- sleep. It often happens with people you know". She defended, sping hard on thest string of her weakened rationality.


    "Are you sure that you have said nothing?" He asked onest time, raising his amused brows at her. And Li Xue instantly nodded to confirm it, thinking that she has escaped the trap all victoriously.


    "Yes, of course, I have not said anything. You were just hearing things in your sleep!"


    "Okay! I will agree to your words after confirming it from the video footage".
