Li Xue just blinked her eyes as she looked around at people working on her wedding. She was amused to see them working so diligently when she, herself, being the bride, was in oblivion.
It was Sunday morning and she took her holiday of the week as a chance to understand what was happening around her. She was done taking the surprises that were near to giving her the anxiety attacks.
But it seemed like nothing else was in her favor. Even after sitting for more than one and half an hour in the living room, hearing Feng Shufen talk over the calls, and hearing the hushed orders from Sister Margaret to the servant groups, she could not make out anything.
She felt like the student who bunked the ss on a non- important day which turned out to be the most important one of the years. More than half of the sybus got over, while she gained the knowledge of only the negligible.
Feeling jitters in the air, she took a deep breath in and looked down at her baby. When her eyes met his, his brown pairs blinked happily at her while he pulled his lips in a jubnt curl.
Li Xue couldn''t tell if Little Ming was happy about gaining her attention, or was he cheering at his father''s tricks against her.
She squinted her eyes at him and then asked, her question was not to the little one in the cradle but to the big devil sitting across her. "Mr. Beelzebub, how was I the only one kept in oblivion when everyone around us knew about the wedding? Am I not the bride? Or have you made ns to marry someone else?"
As she asked, her skin between her brows grew intense and she looked up to stare straight into his eyes.
Feng Shufen was working on his tablet. When he heard her, he paused and lifted her head up to look at her. Then shaking his head in response, he spoke, "If I get married, I will marry you and no other woman. You don''t have to think the other way. As for the other people being aware of our wedding in theing week, believe me, they were as oblivious as you were. They came to know after you."
He said but Li Xue still didn''t want to believe it. Even if she believed his words the actions of the people working around them were so prim and proper as if they had been in it for months and weeks.
Li Xue darted her eyes once again to look at them and then reverted back to Feng Shufen in a suspicious tone. "Really?"
"Mhm." Feng Shufen nodded with a hum. And Li Xue asked again, "How do you want me to believe that."
Just then a dab of several footsteps came through the hallway. Along with Feng Shufen''s, Li Xue''s eyes turned to check who the unexpected guests were and their brows only wrinkled in a frown when they saw lines of men and womening inside following Feng Yi Lan. Their hands were full of packed outfit covers while someone pushing the full packed clothes rails inside.
Li Xue was confused with the sudden crowd, and even seeing the sudden jam in the room Daoming got ufortable. Breaking into cry, he let his mother know about his difort and Li Xue at once stood up to pacify him.
Holding him in her arms, she patted his back slowly, "It''s okay, dear. Shh … shhh … it''s just your aunt. There is nothing to cry for. Mama is holding you close. Come on, stop crying. Stop crying." She said, gently rocking herself.
Soon Little Ming stopped crying and once again gotfortable in the arms of his mother. Keeping his arms over her shoulders, he found his needed warmth and belogingness close to the heart of his mother.
Once he was fine, Li Xue turned back to look at Feng Yi Lan. For a moment, she paused when she saw how pale her team looked. They looked as if they were holding their breath to save their lives. She didn''t understand for a second but when she saw one of them avoiding the gaze of someone standing behind her, she understood the reason was no other but Feng Shufen.
Seeing Daoming cry, he had stood up and red at people who hade unannounced. But what surprised her amidst the whole scenario was that for the first time, Feng Yi Lan was standing unbothered in front of brother''s gaze as if she was ready to challenge him for death.
Was she pissed off for something?
Li Xue turned to look back at Feng Shufen before turning again to Feng Yi Lan, "LanLan, did something happen? You havee quite early with so many people. And also, you don''t look good."
"..." Feng Yi Lan didn''t say anything and simply kept matching the re of her brother.
None of them backed down and Li Xue didn''t know how to handle the situation. She tried to be patient for a moment, but when she felt herself losing it all, she pressed her lips in a thin line and turned to give a eyebrow raise to the man.
"Mr. Beelzebub, that''s alright. Children are not alwaysfortable in crowds. Seeing new people around they get ufortable and to show their difort, they start crying. Once you pacify them and make them feel that they are not alone with strangers, they get better. Even Daoming is fine now. You don''t have to exaggerate over it and scare people around."
She said and when Feng Shufen turned to give her an uneptable gaze, she pressed her stare, forcibly making him back down.
Once that was done, she turned to Feng Yi Lan with a soft smile and asked, "LanLan, it''s okay. Don''t mind your brother. You know his antics already. Just tell me why you have brought this force of people today. Is there some issue?"
Feng Yi Lan turned to look at Li Xue and stomped her feet. Li Xue was about to warn her for it, given her pregnant condition, but before she could Feng Yi Lan spoke sending her into bewilderment.
"Li Xue, you have to postpone the wedding any how. This is not going to happen."
