<h4>Chapter 1188 Rome is still far away from Chiboa.</h4>


    The silence fell over the call as for a good time neither of the two talkw. With his silence like that, for once Li Xue felt that she has once again upset him. But right when she was about to me herself, Feng Shufen broke the silence to ask, "How is WeiWei now?"


    Li Xue''s lips curled up in appreciation once again. If she really wanted to be a good partner in the rtionship, she really had to learn hard from the man. He never let her feel weak in the rtions. Be it extreme demands or tough understandings, he would give it all until she asks him.


    "Oh, she is fine now. Her temperature dissipated on the same night, and she was back to normal the very next morning. All this credit belongs to one little boy, who was here taking care of her very sincerely. Avron." She said and was ready to speak more about the little guy but before she could a voiceced with protectiveness paused her in her tracks.


    "Avron? Who is he? And why was he there at our ce?"


    He asked and Li Xue''s brows scrunched at his question for a moment but then taking it very casually she answered, "Yes, the little guy''s name is Avron. He is in the senior student ss and an exchange student at WeiWei''s school. Currently, they are also partners, participating in a performance together at the Cultural Fest. As for why he was here with WeiWei, I am not sure of that myself."


    Although Li Xue has spections in her head. Those were simply mere spections; she can''t crazily bring them up. After all, those were just two little kids who had simply entered their first stage of life. "Maybe, they are really good friends to each other." She added to say that Feng Shufen didn''t reply for a good moment of time.


    When she didn''t hear him saying anything for a good while, Li Xue''s brows furrowed together as she asked, "Mr. Beelzebub? Are you still there?"


    The man hummed on the other end and his non-enthusiastic hum like that made Li Xue purse her lips. "What happened to you now? Why are you suddenly sounding sullen?" She asked and she need not need to know the answer to specte his jealousy. He knew his possessiveness over her. Definitely, he won''t be staying low when it woulde to the things rted to WeiWei as well.


    "Mr. Beelzebub, WeiWei is still a kid of six years. Rome is far away from Chiboa now. You don''t have to get sullen so soon. If you stay like this now, I doubt, our girl would be able to get a good husband."


    Li Xue spoke taunting with a chuckle, but her bones went stiff when she heard his replying on it.


    "If reaching Rome from Chiboa would mean this, I will make sure to never let any road exist to reach there."


    Feng Shufen said in a serious tone and it made Li Xue pause for a good number of seconds before she blinked her eyes,prehending his words. "Mr. Beelzebub, what are you? A pleasure killer! Who says something like this? I know you are protective regarding WeiWei. But don''t forget that she is an individual and would have an individual life. You can''t just go and kill every road to Rome. What if she makes another way that may not go to Rome but some other country? You can''t just go and kill every way."


    She said and the man didn''t reply anything to her. Maybe he was there still dealing with his own syndrome over the things. To not make him cry over such a simple thing yet, Li Xue thought to switch the topic for a change. Furthermore, she still has things to ask him.


    Refilling the jug with water, she lidded it for the time, while keeping it on the counter of the kitchen, she went to rest in the living hall. She had things to talk about and not for too long, she would be able to withstand her standing position.


    So, settling on the sofa in the living hall, she made herselffortable before asking, "By the way, Mr. Beelzebub, you tell me. How is your second family? Are they enjoying their presence there?" She asked and her choice of words like that made Feng Shufen frown on the other side of the call.


    "There is no second family. I am here for work." He said and at his say like that Li Xue chuckled.


    "Haha … Really? Do you want me to believe that?" She asked and Feng Shufen hummed without taking another second of thought. As if he was very confident in his stance.


    But it was also not like Li Xue doubted him. She knew that more than anyone else. It was like she wanted to talk more with him now, she found this topic more easy to talk about.


    "Mr. Beelzebub, don''t hum like you are too confident of me believing that. Do you know how many times I have tried calling you? But every time I did it went straight to your voicemail. Now can you exin what work of yours requires in a situation like this where I can''t even reach you?" She said and no response came for a good moment of time.


    And just when she thought she had made it sound too severe, she heard Feng Shufen saying in a very slow, apologetic tone.


    "I am really sorry. I didn''t mean to leave you there like that. Especially when WeiWei was sick but …" He paused and Li Xue could feel there was something important that the man was not able to exin on the call.


    So, to not make it too hard, she quickly interrupted to wave off the topic. "It''s okay, Mr. Beelzebub. I was just teasing you. Of course, I knew you wouldn''t leave us behind until you had a reason. You just don''t have to tell me the reason now. Tell me when you return."


    She said but Feng Shufen didn''t want to concede. Although he didn''t tell her before, now thinking he felt that it would only be right to tell her now, especially when he would be staying away from them for a little more longer time.


    Denying her rejection, he said, "It''s okay. I can tell you now. Xiao Xue, I am here to find my mother. I heard she has been here all the years when she was not with us."
