Chapter 1399: Melted slowly.
"If you keep holding me like this, we might not be able to solve the problem we have got between us. So, please let me go. So that we can talk and you can explain." Patting gently on his back, Li Xue said.
Although her anger has dried somewhat somewhere, still she had some complaints that she didn't want to let go so easily.
When Feng Shufen heard her, he didn't let her go immediately. Taking his own time, she relished his moment of joy with her before stepping back to look back into her eyes.
"So you are ready now?" Li Xue asked and Feng Shufen subtly nodded to her, asking her to continue with whatever she had in her heart.
To which even Li Xue didn't hold back and at once brought out all the things she had in her thoughts. "Why did you do it? Why did you not make any efforts to make me stay by your side? Was one month more enjoyable without me?"
Although she put all her emotions in the form of questions, anyone could tell that answers weren't the things she was seeking. Instead it was all her emotions that were trying to vent out. It was the insecurities that she wanted to make herself believe that it was nothing. That her existence was not for granted in his life. That without her, he was happy in his life.
Feng Shufen looked at her and it didn't take time for him to understand what was going on in her head. His brows furrowed as he took a small step forward to hold her by her shoulders. "What are you even thinking?"
But before she could even hold her, Li Xue stepped back to keep the distance maintained between them. At which Feng Shufen's frown only deepened.
Staring at her, he said. His jaws got a bit tightened "I forced myself to stay away from you for your sake. You might have recovered from the injuries but the shock you took during the accident was too much. We can't dare to trigger you when we know what the consequences it could bring."
Li Xue would have acted stubborn and would have denied to accept his reasons but the moment she caught the sincerity in his eyes, she couldn't bring herself to do that. How could she deny his pain that she could see in his eyes clearly? How can she ignore the layer of relief she could feel in his demeanor after knowing that she had got back her memories?
Those were simply something she couldn't forsake even if she felt like her suffering was more than him.
Her lips got pursed as she stared at him for a moment. "Such a simple explanation? That's it. I thought you would have something better to say." She said, her expression so firm that for a moment Feng Shufen thought that she didn't accept his explanation.
"I …"
"You made me envy myself. Do you think that just by saying that you did it for my sake , I will be okay with it? You know how I felt when I heard how much you adore your wife. That … how much you loved her?" Li Xue didn't allow him to say, rather spoke herself, before stepping forward to punch him on his chest lightly.
Feng Shufen, when saw her expression getting normal, he also eased a bit. Letting her hit him as ever she wanted, he said, "They didn't lie. I really love and adore my wife and only my wife."
Li Xue pouted out her lips and stared at him before pressing them in a thin line. "Did I ever say that they lie? I am just saying that you have done it better by telling me that I am the wife and the woman they are talking about."
"You never asked me. If you would have asked, I wouldn't have lied." He said, and Li Xue really wanted to go back to where she was originally. Pouting her lips out, she was ready to make a sullen face, but just in time, Feng Shufen came a step forward to press a kiss on her forehead before embracing her back in his arms to say, "Thank you for not forgetting me forever. Thank you for keeping me remembered in your memories."
He said, and Li Xue simply melted in his words. Not able to keep her pout for long, her lips curled up in a smile as her arms also went up to wrap around him. "You don't have to thank me. Just put one thing in your head that if things get this bad ever again, even for my sake don't keep me away from yourself. Do you get it?"
She said and before she could understand what happened, the arms around him tightened abnormally as if clutching her with a fear to never let go.
"You …"
"This thing will never repeat again. I will never let this happen again." Feng Shufen said and Li Xue smiled before humming at his promise.
"Mhm. I believe you."
They shared the hug for a bit longer when suddenly Li Xue remembered something she was forgetting all this while. Her one arm loosened around Feng Shufen as she reached down to touch her tummy. A small smile appeared on her lips but then she composed herself to say, "By the way, I need your help in something. So, you have to help me, okay?"
She asked and Feng Shufen pulled away a bit to stare at her, waiting for her to add more to her words.
Li Xue nodded and continued. "Yes, later help me filing a lawsuit against the hospital and especially against Dr. Ning." She said and Feng Shufen furrowed his brows.
"Did something happen?"
Li Xue nodded. "Yes, they did my pregnancy test without my permission before releasing it online. They should have to bear the blame and consequences now. Don't you think so?" She said, controlling her smile while looking the changing emotion on the face of Feng Shufen.
