Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 1195 Both fortunately and unfortunately.

Qi Shuai looked at Feng Yi Lan and opened his mouth to say something, but soon he closed it, finding the girl raising her brows at him. He then turned to look at Li Xue who was standing there with the angel's best kind and innocent expression.

Was he even right to refer to her as an angel? She was clearly the enchantress who knows well to use the spells in her favor. Qi Shuai felt like a victim in the situation and had no other option but to ask.

"Okay, fine. Xiao Xue, tell me what's your plan? I will see if I could be of any help." He reluctantly said and saw Feng Yi Lan walking to the side of Li Xue with a happy face before hooking her arms with her.

It was rightly said – it's better for men to not trifle with their best friend's missus and girlfriend's best friend. And here, Li Xue was, unfortunately, falling into both categories. It was his fault for not realizing her position before. From now on, he would have to be more mindful of his actions towards her.

Li Xue stared at the director and felt a bit guilty for him. But does she have any other choice? She tried it in a better way before but at that time, he refused to hear her. So, taking the help of Yi Lan was the only way left for her.

"Director Qi, it's simple. There is nothing too abrupt that you have to do. Just help me rectify the mistake." She said and Qi Shuai tugged his brows to ask.

"Mistake?"

He asked and Li Xue pressed a smile before gesturing him to look outside at the men. "Yes, the mistake that made you bring them here. You have seen me already and I have already told you what made Shufen order such an arrangement here. So now that you know everything you can always ask them to go back."

Li Xue said with confidence and hearing her suggest that Qi Shuai paused for a moment as if comprehending her words from each angle. But then suddenly, he chuckled out before bursting into laughter.

Li Xue didn't understand so she turned to look at Feng Yi Lan. But she also shrugged her shoulders in the lack of knowledge. Then both of them turned back to look at the man to ask, "Director Qi, you are laughing? Does it intend something?" The source of this content is (f)ir(e).nᴇt - novelenglish.net . bin

Qi Shuai halted his laughter but the up curl on his lips never left his expression. Nodding, he accepted, "Yep, my reaction just now intended to deliver the impossibility of your suggestion. Whatever you suggested can't be done in actuality." He said and Li Xue frowned at his words.

"What do you mean? How is it impossible?" She asked and with grace on his face, Qi Shuai tucked his hands inside his pocket.

"It's impossible because no matter what I say these people won't move on my words." He said and his words like that were nothing but similar to a mystery.

"Won't move on your words? But hasn't it been you on whose words they came here?" Li Xue asked again and Qi Shuai just smiled at her, ready to explain to her the mechanism on which things work.

"Dear sister-in-law, look, although it has been me who has sent them here, the orders were something that has come from the higher-ups. I don't have the authority to revert it." Qi Shuai said. Internally, he was feeling relief. Finally, he wouldn't have to do something that would make him take the wrath of the Devil. Otherwise, he couldn't even think …

Li Xue's lips pressed in a thin line. Feng Yi Lan looked at her like that and turned back to look at Qi Shuai.

But this time the man was quicker than her. Before she could say anything, he shook his head and said, "I can't do it, LanLan. You know your brother and also the hardheadedness of these people. They simply won't listen to me until they get to hear it from your brother."

He said and Feng Yi Lan pursed her lips. "But he is not in the country." She said and Qi Shuai laughed once again before looking at Du Fan at a distance.

"Have you not known your brother well enough?" He said before walking to the Du Fan to continue. "Even if he is not here, he has the people to follow his orders here. And you can see it well by seeing Du Fan here. I might have appointed those people outside. But he has been straight appointed by your brother. If you can make him defy his order once, I will make sure that every other would follow it and return back to base."

Du Fan's expression changed. His expression turned that of hesitation as after the director's word, he saw both Feng Yi Lan's and Li Xue's eyes turning at him. "I … I can't do it. Young Master has asked me to look after Madam and I can't defy it. Please don't ask me to do such a tough job, I am not capable of it."

He said stuttering in haste and his stutter like that only made Qi Shuai chuckle. "Did you see that? That's the loyalty the people owe to your brother. They would simply not budge until it's your brother commanding it." He spoke and while he said an expression of pride rose on his face.

Although he has never said, he was really proud of having Feng Shufen as his friend.

Li Xue felt her headache kicking in again. Who knew the early morning would become so hectic for her? Pinching the space in between her brows, she thought for a while before again looking up at Qi Shuai to ask. "So, Director Qi, you are saying that now I can only ask Mr. Beelzebub for this?"

Qi Shuai pressed a smile on his lips and nodded. "Both fortunately and unfortunately."

"But I have tried reaching him before. It's not easy to get through him while he is out of the country." She said, remembering all the past un-responded calls she had made to him.

Qi Shuai shook his head. "That's not possible. There would be a way that he must have told you to reach him. Try to remember it." He said very much confidently in his stance. He would never believe that among all, Shufen wouldn't leave a way for Li Xue to reach him.

Li Xue didn't understand his words at first. But when she heard his confidence, she paused to think of it first. Maybe she was missing out on something. And when pondered. Her expression changed as truly she had missed his words from the last time when he stated that she could always reach him by reaching out to Gao Fan. How could she even forget such a simple thing?

But wait, … If it was like that, why did he not retort when she teasingly accused him of having a second family outside and not responding to her calls? And directing it straight to the voicemails? If he had said, it would have been so easy for her to be embarrassed.

Warmth spread across Li Xue's heart as her lips curled up realizing why actually Feng Shufen has not re-mentioned it to her.
