<h4>Chapter 817 - Would not be able to save your from regret.</h4>


    The next morning Li Xue woke up all fresh and fine. Her early blissful curl of smile not holding any hints of anxiousness from thest night. "Aye, the morning hase too early today. Last night was very rxing, only if it hadsted for longer". She mumbled to herself, turning on her sides only to find the bedside empty.


    "If you want to sleep more, you can just sleep. It''s just been eight in the morning and the sun is not up in the sky."


    Before she even looked anywhere else to search for the man around, his voice made her aware of his presence. Her lips curled up a little finding him near but then her pupils dted, realizing the meaning of his words.


    "What? It''s already eight. How did I sleep for so long?" She asked, sitting up at once. Her eyes turned to check the time on the clock, before reverting back to look at the man on the couch at a distance.


    Feng Shufen was up to his work already. When he heard her, he paused his work and lifted his eyes to match her gaze. "Didn''t you sayst night was quite rxing? You were tired from all the rush sincest week, so l had let youplete more of your sleep soundly."


    At his words, Li Xue could just press her lips. "Mr. Beelzebub, that''s not how things go. I should have woken up early. Though it''s a weekend, I had to wake Li Wei early as well. Now that I amte, she would also bete for the day". She said, quickly getting down on the floor, slipping on the slipper to run to the washroom.


    But her steps came to halt when heard the man say from behind again. "WeiWei woke up long back. She haspleted her routine, her homework, and now she is ying in the garden with her rabbit."


    Li Xue was confused. She paused in her tracks as she turned to look back at the man and asked, raising an amused brow at him. "She is already awake without me going to her and waking her up? How did that happen? Never in thest five years has that urred. Though she has been independent, she still needs me or someone to go to her and wake her up fromziness. Did Sister Margaret wake her up?"


    Feng Shufen shook his head. His face was not expressionless, but somethingplex that was hard to read in one nce. "I woke her up". He said, before looking back at the files he was working at. Like what he did was nothing far from normal.


    Li Xue looked at him like that and could not decide on any word to say. Though this was something new happening, she could not call it weird. But when she heard him presenting it that way, she couldn''t help but feel like her day started like one where the couples share the responsibility of their kid. Even though the man has always been kind to her and the little one, this was the first time the feeling struck this way.


    Her lips curled up at the realization. That feeling of depending on your partner was strange but very rxing at nerves where you know you have someone on whom you can rely. "Oh. That''s good then. I am relieved. Anyway, I will go and get fresh first." She said ready to walk to the washroom. But her steps came to a pause when heard the man reminding her of something.


    "I have something to tell you."


    "Mhm. I remember. And as I said we have the whole day today to talk about that". She replied, before resuming her steps back in the direction of the bathroom.


    Last night, when Feng Shufen let her know that everything had gotten fine with the rtives and there was nothing to worry about, she was already relieved to hear and didn''t care to look in more detail. She has pushed the topic for the next day, saying that she believed him and his ways of looking into things. No matter what he does, it will never harm them in any way. And that was way enough for her.


    At that time, seeing her relieved expression, Feng Shufen has agreed to pass on the details but has still said that that avoidance would be just for the night and she would need to hear everything the next day.


    Feng Shufen''s eyes trailed after Li Xue as he saw her getting into the washroom. The confidence in his eyes wavered. No one in this world was capable of doing that to him, yet to all, just one person hase out to make the exception. In the past, when he had feelings for her without her knowledge, it was good enough to restrain the emotion like happiness, fear and sadness in his heart,ing out all indifferent and aloof. But the day she appeared, those thick ropes of restraints shredded away like it never held any strength to keep him in control.


    The shredding of that restraint was not something that has put him in difort. Rather what hase as difort to him was the fear that his heart held now. The fear where he was scared of being pushed away by the woman.


    He was in his own thoughts when his phone ringing on the side caught his attention. His eyes read the name of Qi Shuai on the screen before picking up the call.


    Before he could say a word, a desperate concerned warning came from the call. "Shufen, don''t reveal the DNA reports to Li Xue yet. Just wait for me to arrive. I am on the way to your ce and will reach there soon. Hear me out first before deciding. Just not reveal everything to her straightaway. Just don''t or elseter, I would not be able to save you from regret."


    Feng Shufen''s brows tugged into a frown but before he could reply anything to his concern, the call ended with a beep.
