<h4>Chapter 701 - Shattering dreams and exectations.</h4>


    "Is she the Zhang Xiaotong you were talking about, Yi Lan?" Li Xue asked when in the video, she saw a woman all coy yet beautiful walking her way to Feng Shufen.


    Feng Yi Lan wanted to scream a ''no'' to Li Xue''s question but in the end, could not help but give a truthful "Yes!" to her. If it had been possible at the moment, she would not have cared about jumping inside theptop to pull her brother back to herself. But to her regret, no such technology has yetunched to make that possible.


    Her eyes turned and darted to look at Li Xue on the side. Her expression still looked Antarctic cold but there was also a dilemmatic smile ying over her lips that was creating a mystery hard to solve.


    "Sweetheart, what are you smiling at? Please calm down. I believe you have never been possessive and insure – type of woman and never be in the future as well. So, don''t hurt yourself being like this, okay?" Feng Yi Lan tried to cajole Li Xue like a kid, praying that only for once but her words work and things get better.


    But to her words, no response came, instead Li Xue''s eyes still remained all focused and fixed on the screen. "I feel like this video is just starring my brother and is no longer fun. Let''s drop the idea of watching it and do something else. What do you say?" Feng Yi Lan asked, hoping that this time the reply woulde something different.


    And it came. To her much surprise, for the first time, Li Xue''s eyes moved away from the video. Nodding to Yi Lan, she said, "Okay!"


    Though Feng Yi Lan was wishing that it would happen for a long time, still seeing it actually happening, she could not believe it properly. Was it that easy? Was she the one exaggerating it all the time? With the present scenarios, that felt like reality.


    Her brows frowned a bit as she looked at Li Xue. "Girl, are you fine? Don''t say you are secretly nning to break-up with my brother?"


    Li Xue nearlyughed at her question. "Weren''t you always suggesting the same to me, Yi Lan? Then why today it feels like you would regret it if I do something like that with your brother?"


    Feng Yi Lan was at once troubled.? If something like that happened, not only her but the Devil would make the whole world regret it. "Li Xue, you are thinking wrong …" She tried for the first time to support her brother in his love. But did she really think her brother would need it?


    Li Xue chuckled at the look of sympathy her friend was holding on her face. "I was thinking that it''s already time and I should go and get my princess back first. Is my thought wrong?" She asked clearly, teasing but then smiling, she shook her head before saying, "Don''t worry. I may not have been a possessive woman before but a lot has changed now. Your brother was the one to bring that change. And now that he caused the damage to himself already, he won''t be able to escape from me that easily". She said, winking a little before getting up to take her phone and bag, ready to leave.


    Feng Yi Lan was confused at her words. "Huh? Does that mean you are not upset with my brother?"


    Li Xue shook her head. "Why should I? It''s just a business party he needs to attend. What''s so wrong there?"


    Was it that simple? Feng Yi Lan was perplexed, not sure. "Then what was that face on you before? Your eyes were so sharp like you would not hesitate in killing Xiaotong the next second".


    "Didn''t I say before, with your brother around, I can either be at my best or my worst. So, whatever happened moments before, consider it to be any of that. Furthermore, I was just judging mypetitor but seeing her there, bearing your brother''s cold aloofness, I don''t even think she is even one in the line." She said as her eyes nced one more time at the screen before shaking her head.? "Anyway, you can enjoy the full show, I will make a move now. WeiWei must be waiting ". She said before turning and leaving at once.


    Behind her, Feng Yi Lan was all speechless. Could she even say more? Nope, there was nothing left to say. Just a question lingered in her thoughts. Was that a PDA? Because to her, it felt like one.


    She looked back at herptop. The cameras were still all focused on Feng Shufen but he was least interested in them. His expression was kept poker like the people would owe him an enormous amount of debt after today''s night.


    "Aish, the problem is not about Zhang Xiaotong. Even if the best beautyes to my brother, he would still remain the same to everyone, unless the one in front of him is you." Feng Yi Lan said to herself as she felt slightly sorry for the girl who was trying her best to get her brother''s attention but was failing to get even his smallest nce.


    Li Xue was so right. Zhang Xiaotong was not even capable of being called apetitor to her. It was just her mother who hyped up the things in her ns. Sigh! How disappointed will she be if she gets to see the happenings!


    ***


    Back at the celebration party, Zhang Xiaotong''s eyes shone the moment she saw the man arriving at the venue but her happiness didn''tst long when she heard him mentioning someone special publicly. Her fist rounded up on her sides as she could no longer contain herself at the ce.


    Ignoring her assistant''s call from behind, she at once took her steps to reach the man. "Brother Fenfen!" She called out with utmost care and innocence, reaching her way to man while garnering everyone''s eyes and attention around … believing that even after long years the man would still have her in his memories.


    But all her dreams and expectations shattered when the very next moment she was even restricted to reach near him.
