"Yes, Mr. Secretary. Please do so. Don''t worry about Shufen. Sometimes he just be very unreasonable." Li Xue said as a small courteous smile lifted up her lips on the corners. In the past few months, she could clearly see that just to be with her and take care of her, Feng Shufen was keeping himself free of work. For that he has rejected many of the good proposals, put projects on hold and also let go many opportunities to others.
Not that all his such decision has put thepany towards worst - Feng International still stand out of league as before but it had somewhat made a businessman inside Feng Shufen feel disappointed of the lover he has be after meeting her. He never let her see that disappointment, nor even he cared about it, but still she had seen it very clearly.
So, now that he had finally gotten some time to focus on work, she simply didn''t want to disturb him. Furthermore, it wasn''t something serious. Her pregnancy turned out good and even the doctors have said that theplications from before have reduced a lot, given how cared and pampered she was kept during the period.
Even though she was in her due month, she didn''t fear. What was there to fear? It wasn''t like this was her first time being pregnant. She has gone to deliver WeiWei once and that time alone had made her strong enough to manage it a second time. Also, she knew it wouldn''t be as difficult as before because her caring husband had already kept everything prepared. From the vehicles to the doctors and the equipment to be used. Everything was kept ready on the beck and call.
"But Madam, President Feng might not like the idea. It might turn ... Madam, sorry but I guess, President Feng will only feel assured when he is there himself with you." Gao Fan was still skeptical. Being with his boss for all this time and seeing him change for thedy too closely, he knows the level of priority thedy boss was there on the list. He couldn''t bear to take the risk.
When Li Xue heard him, her lips drew in a thin line. She could understand the concern of the secretary for his master, but it was not like she was asking him to cheat him. "Mr. Secretary, I understand what you are getting at, but it''s not like I am asking you to keep you President in the office for forever. I am simply requesting you to help him handle the meeting with ease. Once the problems are solved in thepany, he will return. At that time neither you nor I could stop him. It''s that until then I am asking you to keep his phone silent or avert any call seeking him for me. He has made people at home very sensitive. They seek him unnecessarily even if I stay in the loo for two second extra."
She said remembering a time when she just when into the washroom and got herself wet. Changing clothes dyed her from her usual time and the maids immediately dialed the number Shufen, informing him about it in the tone full of anxiousness.
Li Xue still couldn''t help andugh remembering themeness of the situation. Holding the phone to her ears, she waited to hear a positive reply from Gao Fan. But when even after a good moment of time, she felt the indecision in the air of the other side of the call, she pursed her lips and sighed.
"Mr. Secretary, since you are still indecisive about it, let me help you in it." She said and for a moment, her words confused the man on the call. "I wouldn''t request you about it any longer. Instead take this as my order. Since I am the wife of your President, and ady boss to all of you guys, I can expect you to follow my orders. Right?"
"Madam, that ..."
"Am I right? Or am I not, Mr. Secretary?" Interrupting him immediately, she left no room to negotiate any longer.
"Your orders will be carried out, Madam. I will try my best", He said and Li Xue pulled her lips once again in a smile.
"Thank you, Mr. Secretary." Saying that she straightaway disconnected the call. She was finally relieved and satisfied. But then suddenly she remembered she wasn''t alone at home.
Feng Yi Lan - Li Xue looked at the spot where she hasst scene Feng Yi Lan sitting. She wasn''t there not. Turning, she was ready to call and search for her when she spotted her. Her lips got pursed when she saw her waltzing down in the living room.
Shaking her head at her friend''s unthoughtful actions, she remembered Feng Shufen''s words. No doubt the brother knows her sister too well. Even in her pregnancy, Feng Yi Lan was as careless as before.
"Yi Lan, what are you doing? You can''t swing yourself like that during pregnancy. Be careful, you are no longer alone but also have a little life inside you. You sure not be wanting to scare Director Qi, right?"
Feng Yi Lan paused in her actions as she looked at Li Xue and said, "Thetter thought is not bad. But you are wrong to think that he is less scared even when I don''t act careless. Living with me for a good time now, being scared has be one of his characteristics now."
"I can''t me, Director Qi for that, Yi Lan. You are really the one who can bring people to edge like that." Li Xue said and Feng Yi Lan pouted at her. "You know even Shufen was concerned about your carelessness. And that was the reason he never allowed you toe here and take the risk."<novelnext></novelnext>
"Bulls*it! Li Xue, don''t make your husband look good. We both knew that he was more scared of me hurting you with my carelessness, so he locked me out of this ce. Hmph! Such a tyrant since ever." Feng Yi Lanined.
And Li Xue shook her head. "There. There you got him wrong, Yi Lan. He cared for me but he also cared for you. It''s just a matter of how you perceive it. Anyway, leave all that and tell me how it is going. Come and sit, you have done enough dancing already. It''s better for you to rest otherwise at night your feet will get numb and ufortable."
She said and epting her suggestion, Feng Yi Lan came back to sit beside her.
"What new can there be? As much as I am happy carrying my baby inside me, I can''t lessin how irritated I feel sometimes. I miss my clothes, heels and everything I hold favorite and can''t do during this time. I don''t want to hurt the baby and know why I can''t do it. But still sometimes I couldn''t help but feel irritated."
Feng Yi Lan said, as she pouted her lip out. These were all not new to Li Xue; she knew it already.
Reaching out to hold Feng Yi Lan''s hands in understanding, she said, "Yi Lan, that''s verymon in pregnantdies. It is hard for us to ept the changes we undergo during this period. Don''t worry, this is all for nine months. Once you get to see your baby in your arms, you will understand that all the irritation that you patiently went through was worth it."
She said and Feng Yi Lan tried to believe her.They were about to engage in more talks but just then a maid came in with a parcel, interrupting them. "Madam, there is a parcel in your name."
Li Xue looked at the packed box in her hand and a smile grew on her expression. "Oh, so it''s here. Finally. " She said as she extended her hand out to take it from her.
Bowing her head, the maid was about to leave but just when then Li Xue stooped her and ordered, "Please arrange us a ss of lemonade." The maid nodded and then left.
Feng Yi Lan looked at Li Xue, who was delicately opening the parcel. She couldn''t understand the excitement she could clearly read in her expression. "Li Xue, what''s so interesting in this box? Did you order it or is that some gift that my brother got for you?"
Li Xue looked at her and smiled, "Both!"
At which Feng Yi Lan''s brows furrowed in confusion, "You mean ...?"
