<h4>Chapter 571 - My only escape in this world.</h4>


    Soon Feng Shufen returned back to the Little Carnations. It was alreadyte in the night so when he reached home, he didn''t expect anyone awake. But much to his internal supposition, the moment he walked in, the darkness of the house was instantly dispersed.


    His eyes at once spotted the one responsible as he asked with a slight purse of his lips, "You have yet not slept?"


    Li Xue did not reply immediately, rather took her time to walk to him, before saying, "How could I sleep without you at home? Being an obedient wife, waiting to see my husband return back to me was my only right thing to do". She said as she went behind to help him take out his jacket, before folding it and keeping it aside.


    Feng Shufen gave a faint curl of a smile, bringing his hands up to lightly pat the girl''s head. "My wife is really the best!" He said and the woman could not help but blush at his words ofpliment. Though the words were simple, still hearing it she felt like she had turned into some teenage girl who had newly shifted to a ce with her boyfriend. She has not nned it that way but in her anxiousness, she has nothing better than this to do.


    Her eyes turned to stare up at him. He looked as usual but she could still see his haggard self behind his eyes. Without asking him, she got the answer she was looking for. "Should I heat the food for you? Or did you already have your dinner back with your family?" she asked with a smile.


    "Mhmm – Hmm! I had my dinner with my sisters and that took my time" He said before pulling his hands up to check his watch. "It''s alreadyte. Have you yet not done your dinner?"


    "Umm … I had a little portion of it. I have to put myself on a strict diet since next week, Sister Xinyi has arranged a portfolio shoot for me. So, I need to hasten the modification in my figure for it" Li Xue said, getting a little hesitant of her words. She knew well how much the man hated to see her skip the meals like this. But could she help? Nope, her career required that and she had no other choice.


    Feng Shufen''s brows tugged into the frown. "By next week we will be shifting to a different ce." He informed as he made his way to one of the sofa seats. Li Xue doesn''t understand the sudden change in topic. Her eyebrows also jutted together in confusion as she also turned around to ask.


    "Huh? Shifting to another ce? Why? This ce is good enough and peaceful too. The security seems good too".


    Shufen looked at her for a moment. He has always loved to see her like that, with jutted brows of confusion. Like that she looked more like a curious adorable bunny who was looking for the existence of life on some alienated.


    Gesturing her toe near, he asked her to sit on his l.a.p. Li Xue hesitated but before she could even think to turn him down, he already pulled her over in a swift move, making her straddle him on one side "This ce is too small for my small family''sfort. So, I decided to get to a better ce. Though I have not decided to shift there this early, seeing your worsening eating habits I could no longer take risks".


    "Huh? Didn''t I already say that dieting is something I won''t be able to avoid in my career?" The woman said with a pout but to her action, the man just pinched her cheeks lightly in adoration.


    "And didn''t I say that I won''t let my wife starve? Don''t worry about your diet. In the new ce, everything would be at yourfort level and a new nutritionist would be joining the kitchen to take care of your diet. At that time, you won''t be getting a reason to skip the meals"


    Li Xue pouted more looking at him and then haughtily turned her face to the other side and said, "We will see thatter".


    Seeing her like that, the man could not control a chuckle. "Mmm! We will see itter then", he affirmed, before c.a.r.e.s.sing her hair lightly. "Anything more you want to ask?" He said, reading exactly her reality behind.


    But the woman shook her head. "Nope, what more can be there to ask? There is nothing. Okay, now I will go and check a few things. You should also go and get fresh". She said, ready to get up but before she could even try, Shufen''s arms came to wrap around her waist from the front, keeping him in ce.


    "Don''t you want to ask, what happened back in the house?" Feng Shufen probed, raising his brows at her.


    Li Xue again shook her head in denial.


    "Why?"


    "Why do I have to ask when I can already guess it well?" Li Xue said with the utmost calmness, but inside her, calmness was thest thing ying. "Haha … it''s fine, Mr Beelzebub, with my given past, I already knew the thing would be turning out like this sooner orter". She added with a smile as she again put on the effort to get up, but as expected, with the man''s firm hold, getting away from him was simply impossible.


    At her words, Feng Shufen''s expression grew a little stiffer as he sped more firmly over her before saying, "Your past has nothing such that could waver me away from you. So better not be reckless to think that you could escape from me".


    Li Xue could not help but smile. She never expected when it must be her fearing his abandonment, it would be him showing his worry for her. Though his words came out strong, looking at him and his grip onto her, he looked no less than a proud puppy who was scared of losing his master.


    "Do you think I have never tried?" She asked suddenly but when saw the man frowning, she exined, "The escape! Do you think I have never tried?"


    "…"


    "I have tried many times, Mr Beelzebub. But every time, you havee as an answer. My only escape in this world".
