Although Feng Shufen was not a person who had a keen interest in fashion, still one look at the wedding gown was enough to tell me who was the person behind it. He stood at the stairs as he looked down at dress, his eyes holding the coldness of Antartica. 

“I disapprove it.” He said and just as his words were out the three pairs of eyes turned to look up in the direction. Seeing Feng Shufen with an expression of God of Death, the staff from the store at once looked away, bowing his head to him. It wasn’t his greeting to him rather the terror he felt down his spine. 

Feng Yi Lan didn’t understand his disapproval. She turned to look back at the dress before turning again to look at him. “May I know your reason for disapproving it, brother. I mean I won’t be lying if I say this is the best we can ever expect in the present trend.” 

Feng Shufen’s jaws clenched tight. With his hands tucked inside his pants’ pocket, he walked down the stairs and repeated, “I said I disapprove of it. She won’t wear it.” He said and Feng Yi Lan didn’t like the authoritative tone he was using with her. 

She turned to Li Xue and folded her arms over her chest. “Li Xue, didn’t you say that approving the gown will be under my power? You didn’t say it for a say, right?” 

Li Xue gave a small look at Feng Shufen. She knew exactly what was the reason behind his disapproval. But this time she won’t allow it. Even the last time she has asked him to get over it and forgive the woman. If he was not willing to forget the past, she would make sure that he takes the initiative today.  𝚗𝑜𝒱𝓮𝓵xt.𝓬𝗈𝗆

Shaking her head to Feng Yi Lan, she said, “Since I already told you that, how can I take back my words. I can. And since you approve of this piece, and i also like the design, I will be wearing this for sure. Now someone else has to decide whether they really want to marry me or not. If they decide otherwise, I have to find another way to wear it. It will just be extra trouble. Nothing else.” 

Saying that she gave a small side glance to Feng Shufen and seeing him grit his teeth and fold his fingers in a tight fist, she smiled. Then moving to hold Yi Lan’s hands in assurance, she said with more determination. Although her words were for Feng Yi Lan, she indirectly intended it to the man standing there. “Yi Lan, you don’t have to worry. My decision won’t change. I will be wearing this dress won’t change.” 

Feng Yi Lan nodded. Then looking at her brother, she said, “Great. I believed your words. It’s just that I wanted someone else to hear it.” 

Feng Shufen gave her a glare and then turned to give a fleeting stare to Li Xue. Feng Yi Lan expected him to murder her the next second, but she was left confused when she saw him walking back upstairs, holding his anger inside himself. 

While Feng Yi Lan and Li Xue stared in the direction of stairs, Gao Fan stood there facing the two ladies with his eyes down. 

“Madam, President Feng has given me some responsibilities. I will take my leave if you allow.” He said and understanding his duties, Li Xue hummed. 

“Sure, Mr. Secretary. Don’t worry about him, I will take care of it. There must be many things yet to be done. You please proceed with it.” Li Xue said and bowing his head in her respect, Gao Fan soon left. 

Feng Yi Lan liked the transformation in this ice black secretary. There was once a time when Gao Fan would never bow his head in front of anyone. But today not just he bows his head to Li Xue but also asks for her orders and permissions. She had never thought that she would ever see such a change in her life. 

But then again, if her brother can change, anything in this world can change. She would never doubt if someday someone would come and tell her that the sun had started rising from the west. 

Feng Yi Lan shook her head and then once again turned to look upstairs, “What happened to him? He can’t be so childish, right? I mean this dress is really good. How can he disapprove of it? Is it because it comes from mother?” 

Li Xue looked at her and then shook her head. Then patting her hands, she said, “He has some irrelevant reasons behind it. I will talk to him and he will be alright. Until then why don’t you take a seat and have something? For a good time now, you haven’t had something. During pregnancy you should keep having something from time to time.” 

She said and then gestured to a maid to get something. The maid nodded and then left to follow the orders. While setting Feng Yi Lan comfortably in the living room, Li Xue went upstairs to have the talk with Feng Shufen. 

While behind, Feng Yi Lan once again felt that somewhere she was responsible for it. If not for her birth mother’s conspiracies, mother Yuchun might not have suffered, nor she would have stayed away from Feng Shufen and Feng Yi Ran. 

How can someone’s greed be this cruel and inhumane? 

Upstairs, Li Xue walked to the study room and pushed the door open, knowing that Feng Shufen would be inside. And as she had expected, he was there, pretending to be working on some documents. 

“What happened to you?” She asked, and Feng Shufen simply gazed up to look at her, expressing it all with his eyes. 

Li Xue pressed her lips at him. “Mr. Beelzebub, haven’t we already talked about it before? How are you still so stubborn about it? Since the things have passed, we should move one and embrace the future with free hearts. Shouldn’t we?”
