Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved-Chapter 1442 Depth That People Couldn’t Easily Measure.
When there is something towards the end, the time either passes in a blink of time or it takes ages to get going. And it was going like ages for Qi Shuai as well. He was happy about the wedding but amidst his happiness there was also a feeling of loss that he was feeling inside. He knew the reason but he didn't want to think of it anymore.
After all, to him Yi Lan was more important. Important than the life that was yet to see the life.
"You look lost. Are you having second thoughts about the wedding?" Feng Shufen asked and his voice out of blue broke the trance Qi Shuai was zoning in.
Qi Shuai looked behind him through the mirror and at once his expression went back to the cheerful side, perfectly concealing the emotions his face was holding moments ago. Chuckling out lightly in a jovial way, he turned to look at Feng Shufen.
"Why? Are you here as Yi Lan's brother to threaten my life?" He joked, laughing out himself. But Feng Shufen's expressions remained firm. Instead, he stared as if he was waiting to hear something he knew the man was hiding.
When Qi Shuai felt his gaze firm, he pressed his lips in a thin line. "What? I am your friend; you can't be thinking of making me kiss my death on my wedding day. See, there are a lot of guests waiting for me today with their best wishes for my future life. You can't make them all waste."
He joked with an intention to divert Feng Shufen thoughts but he forgot it was not just anyone he was dealing with rather Feng Shufen. How did he even think that he would be able to manipulate him?
Feng Shufen stared at his friend as if he was staring at some cartoon. "What you and Yi Lan are up to recently?" He asked and even though it was few words, it could be told that he has grown suspicious enough to not let go
the topic easily.
Knowing Shufen for ages how can Qi Shuai not know about his stubbornness?
Qi Shuai turned around and stared out of the window. The view was beautiful. Of course, it had to be like that. After all, the preparations for this big day have been going on for weeks.
He might not have a well-crafted plan as Feng Shufen, but his love for Yi Lan was not any less than his. He has done all in his power to make the day perfect for her.
But in the end, it felt like it still didn't even reach up to the par. Their relationship wasn't fickle, he knew. But it also wasn't invincible enough to go temporarily weak during shocks like this.
He was patient enough to take it and mend it gently. But he never expected that the sourness would come on the day which would be actually be very important for them.
He didn't care what their future held. He just wanted to make sure that their present becomes something that the woman could cherish even in future. But unfortunately, he was getting the feeling that he caused her a pain and anxiousness that ruined all his plans. 𝙛𝔯𝒆e𝔀e𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃e𝚕.𝒄𝗼𝗺
"Shufen, we have never failed in any project that we have worked on. But have you ever felt the feeling of failure ever?" Qi Shuai suddenly asked but there was not an urge to get an answer in it. So, Shufen kept silent.
"It's easy to failure is nothing but a step towards success. But you know for people like us that have always been used to keeping things perfect, it's not easy to accept. It hurts a lot when we come to realize that it didn't work out as we had planned."
Qi Shuai spoke and like a good listener as Feng Shufen was, he silently kept hearing it all. Although it was vague, there was something in his words that Feng Shufen could connect to.
After Qi Shuai spoke that, a layer of silence ensued in the room. None of the men talked. While Qi Shuai was in his own thoughts, Feng Shufen gave him the time and space to settle down. After a while, he spoke, "If you want to talk, you can talk it out."
Feng Shufen said and it took Qi Shuai off for a moment. He slowly turned to look back at his friend and raised a brow at him, "Brother, how did I never know this side of yours before? I mean although I know you cared for me, I never thought you had time to listen out my talks."
"People say one understands the importance of a person only when he or she finds him walking away. Is my wedding today also making you feel insecure? Is it the reason that is making you feel the need of talking to me like this today?" Qi Shuai asked, returning back to his usual tone and Feng Shufen couldn't help but roll his eyes at his antics. He knew what this meant.
When Qi Shuai saw him rolling his eyes, he came closer and patted Shufen's shoulders before speaking in a really serious tone. As if he was giving him the promise, "You don't worry, brother. Even if I get shifted to another country, our bond will never fall weak. You are my best friend and I will always be there for you in happiness and in pain. You will never lose me."
He said, and Feng Shufen was not surprised. He knew that the man would never bare open his wounds that easily. Qi Shuai might look jovial and cheerful on the surface but that's just on the cover. His depth was something people couldn't easily measure.
Shaking his head at his talks, Feng Shufen reached out to pat his shoulders, "I don't want to ruin your big day today. We will talk about this later. For now, I will wait to see you coming to the altar."
Saying that, he patted his shoulders two times and then turned around and left. Qi Shuai smiled but just when Feng Shufen disappeared out the door, his expression changed. He was not angry but somewhere he was not feeling settled inside. He wasn't sure what was Feng Yi Lan thinking. They hadn't had a proper talk for almost the entire week and when he went to the hospital to accompany her to the procedure, she didn't come.
