Li Xue clapped her hands and then turned to look at Feng Yi Lan with a smile, “Problem solved. LanLan, now I think it will all be good on the wedding day. Don’t you think the same?” She asked just to ease the air. 

Feng Yi Lan pressed her lips in guilt and reached out to hold Li Xue’s hands in hers. “Do you blame me?” 

Li Xue didn’t understand what she meant by that. Jutting her brows in confusion while keeping her lips intact with smile, she asked, “Why would I do that?” 

“Li Xue, don’t show me such affection. Even though I blamed my brother, I know he wasn’t wrong. I was at fault to be honest. I should have started the preparations earlier and should not have waited for the last moment. I should be blamed.” 

Li Xue’s lips curled more and shaking her head she said, “You are silly, LanLan. How can I blame you when I know you have always been more excited about my wedding? I still side with you against your brother. After all, no matter how much I know him I also know well that he was very unpredictable. The date close to next week gave me a terror attack, how can I not put you in the same shoes?” 

She said and her words like that eased the guilt. She chuckled a bit and nodded. “I can’t say otherwise to that.” She said and then turned to give a sympathetic look to her brother who still looked as if he wanted to kill her. “Fine. I accepted my mistake. I got lazy. But haven’t you already fixed it? Why do you have to still blame me?” 

She said like a spoiled sister, staring at Feng Shufen. But she knew that her attitude like that won’t melt the heart of her brother. When she saw Feng Shufen not responding, she puffed her cheeks and said, “Fine. Anything that you wish. Be mad at me but mind it that when the wedding gown will come, I will be the first one to check and approve it.” She challenged. 

At her tone of confidence, Feng Shufen dangerously took a step towards her. “Do you think you have a say in that?” 

Feng Yi Lan swallowed down the lump of terror that she felt down her throat. At once making Li Xue her shield, she stepped behind her, “Li Xue!” She yelped for help. 

Li Xue extended her arms in her protection and gave a look to Feng Shufen. “Mr. Beelzebub, she is pregnant. You can’t scare her like that.” 

“Being pregnant doesn’t give her all the rights.” Feng Shufen countered Li Xue but seeing her giving a pressed look, he looked away accepting her order. 

When Feng Yi Lan saw that, she couldn’t help but smile. No matter how much power her brother holds, until she has her Li Xue, she will be all safe from him. She couldn’t help but feel boasted at herself for having such a great friend. 

Right at that moment, a maid came to announce, “Master, Madam, Mr. Gao has come.” She said and just after she completed Gao Fan entered from the entrance. 

Feng Shufen turned to look at his secretary and asked, “Did you make the arrangements?” 

Gao Fan at once understood. But instead of giving a positive reply to him, he bowed his head down. “President Feng, we are trying to reach different designers but I don’t think their designs would be up to the mark if we give them such a short time to prepare.”

“The wedding is next week. What’s the use of their skill if they can’t prepare it on time?” Feng Shufen’s brows furrowed and his anger became evident on his face. 

Gao Fan had nothing to say. When Li Xue saw Feng Shufen like that, she slowly removed Feng Yi Lan’s hand and walked to him. 

Reaching his clenched fist, she held it and then patted with the other. “Mr. Beelzebub, there skills are all about art and art comes from inspiration. And inspiration doesn’t come on someone’s order, it comes with time. Don’t get angry with them. And Mr. Secretary was only telling you the truth. Why do you have to direct your anger on him?” 

Gao Fan looked up again and said, “President Feng, still many of them has assured that they will put their best effort in the designs. They will be sending the drafts soon. And once they send we can shortlist the one that suits Madam’s preference.” 

Li Xue smiled and then on behalf of Feng Shufen she replied, “That’s really great, Mr. Secretary. Thank you for your help. I am sure the designers chosen by you must be really capable. They will surely surprise us with their designs.” 

She said and before giving an optimistic smile to him and then turning to give the same to Feng Shufen.

“Even I will try.” Feng Yi Lan said from the side. Then coming close, she added reminding everyone once again, “After all, don’t forget I am also a designer. I can create some really good designs.” 

They were having their talks when once again the maid from earlier came to inform, “Madam, there is someone requesting your presence.” She said, and Li Xue raised her brows in surprise. 

“But I have already informed everyone in the palace that I will be taking a day off today. They shouldn’t have come here.” Li Xue remembered letting her assistant know that how serious she was about her weekend this time. Then how come someone from the palace has come to meet her today?

The maid kept her head down and said, “No, Madam. The person standing outside is not someone from the palace. He said he has come from some fashion house and it was his designer who has sent him here.”  𝚗𝑜𝒱𝓮𝓵xt.𝓬𝗈𝗆

“Fashion house?” Li Xue was confused but seeing the maid nod, she asked, “Which fashion house?” 

The maid hesitated. “S-Sorry Madam, I am not good with English language and the person spoke the term in English. I fear I will mispronounce the name of the fashion house.”
