Chapter 1481  She doesn’t need the best, she deserves to choose from the best.

Su Ce had not expected him to be at such ease over the topic. He knew that the title of Prince Consort was very creamy and can entice any man. But he also knew that Feng Shufen was not any man. Such creamy titles could never entice him. And also, wasn’t he the man of power? With his identity, shouldn’t he be the one taking the preference of dominance in everything. Not just in the big business deals but also in relationships.

Then how could he be so nonchalant in being known as Li Xue’s husband? Shouldn’t he feel offended instead?

But little did Su Ce know that Li Xue loved Feng Shufen because he was not what he should be with his identity. For how different he was when he was with her.

Covering the expression of confusion from his face, Su Ce gave out a sarcastic laugh, “Haha … President Feng, few moments ago I complimented you for being great father. But you know I can’t say you can be a great husband. I believe I can be a better husband than you.”

Feng Shufen raised his brows at him and then nodded. Su Ce looked at him and then gritted his teeth. “I can be a good husband. I can be a better than you, President Feng. Don’t you think that I should get the equal chance to compete against you and win her over? After all, she deserves the winner.” He said, finally grinning with confidence.

Feng Shufen’s expression turned cold. Although general amiability was not a trait of his personality, still the expression that was making him look less fearful vanished without leaving any hint. And the expression he held at the moment was clearly of painful death that no one has experienced yet.

Taking a step close to him, he spoke holding back a growl. “She is not a trophy that you can win over. She doesn’t need the best; she deserves to choose the best.” He said and Su Ce turned to glare at him with his eyes but just when his eyes matched with his steely pairs, it flickered making him lose the courage at once.

“P-President Feng, you should …”

Before he could say anything more, the clicking heels from the side paused him. And next moment the sweet yet elegant fragrance wafted in the air.

Su Ce needed to to look to know that it was the fragrance of Li Xue, but Feng Shufen could feel her presence from the moment she started walking in their direction from the other side of room.

Li Xue’s eyes gave a cold stare to Su Ce as she walked closer to Feng Shufen before intertwining her fingers with his. Keeping the warning intact in her gaze, she asked, “Is there any problem here? Are you facing any issue here, sweetheart?”

Li Xue asked. Although her words were in the form of questions, the warning in them was straight directed to Su Ce, letting him known that she would not take any offense against her husband easily.

Su Ce’s fists clenched at her indifferent tone, but he also knew that he didn’t hold the power to say anything to her. So, he could only swallow down what felt like an insult to him.

Feng Shufen can read the expression of the man really and it really amused him to see how delusional one can be. His fingers put a strong press on the intertwining hold with Li Xue and feeling the change of intensity in their contact, she turned to look at him.

He smiled at her curious eyes and then shifting a bit in his pose, she turned to Li Xue and cupped her face with his free hand. Putting on a gentle smile on his lips and eyes, he shook his head at her, “Don’t worry, I am fine. Nothing is wrong here. Mr. Su wanted to have a talk with me so we were having it here.”

He said and Li Xue raised her brows at him, before giving again a suspicious look to Su Ce. “Are you sure?”

“Your Highness, I …” Su Ce was about to explain but at the same moment, Feng Shufen interrupted. 𝚗𝑜𝒱𝓮𝓵xt.𝓬𝗈𝗆

Giving a fleeting gaze to the prince, he turned Li Xue’s face back to him. “I am sure. And do you think that anyone have the power to bully me?”

Before Li Xue could reply to that question, Feng Shufen did the job for her, “No one has it and will never have it. Because I have given that right just to you. You have only the power to bully me.”

“… I … I” Li Xue didn’t know how she should respond to it. Her cheeks turned red and after a moment she averted her eyes to look somewhere else but at his. “Fine. I accept. Nothing is wrong here. But if you are done, can I have you? We can have dinner. Ma and Pa are waiting for us at the table. We should make them wait.”

Feng Shufen hummed before turning to look at Su Ce. “We are done with our talk, right Mr. Su? If not, you can tell me, we can fix an appointment for some other time. After all, you know being the Prince Consort I can’t bear to see her losing her face in front of others.”

He said and hearing him mention the term ‘Prince Consort’ Li Xue felt something amiss. She turned to look at Su Ce and his face was all it took to explain to Li Xue what must have been the conversation about. She felt getting on edge knowing his intention. But then was relieved and happy to know how miserably he must have failed in it.

Su Ce’s jaws clenched and gritting his teeth, he shook his head, “Sorry for taking your time like this, President Feng. But it’s okay, I had enough today. If possible, we will have it another day again. For now, you can proceed. And thank you.”

Feng Shufen gave a small professional smile and an appreciative nod to him. “Anytime, Mr. Su. You are my wife’s cousin brother and being her husband, I can do the least.”
