Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 140 - Waiting to see her crumble on the ground.

It was already time for Li Xue to get off work. Suddenly remembering the call with Mr Beelzebub before, she thought to give him a call to confirm the plans. It was her fault that she disconnected the call without letting him know the things properly.

Picking up her phone she was about to dial his number when heard the hurried approaching steps from behind. When turned to look it was none other than Mia. "Mia, slower your speed. Don't rush around like this, you might hurt yourself" Li Xue said with concern as she saw the young girl steadying herself in her steps.

"Li Xue ... Li Xue …" Mia huffed and puffed, trying to sober her speedy panting breath. Her forehead had lines of worry and concern as she looked at the woman in front of her. "Li Xue, this is important. You need to hear me out first. It's really important. Come first, you need to come and explain the things up first or they will take the false things to be the truth"

The young girl said as she grasped Li Xue's wrist and pulled her towards the directions she had come from. Li Xue was also dumbfounded at her such hurry. No matter however she tried, she just wasn't able to comprehend her words. Halting her slowly she asked, "Mia, Mia, wait! First, tell me what happened and where are we going? It's already time to get off work and I have something important to attend too."

When the girl saw Li Xue all calm and composed, she was taken aback. Not getting the reason behind her such calmness she asked in surprise, "Li Xue, how can you be this calm when some other woman is claiming what is yours?"

Squinting her eyes in confusion, Li Xue repeated the words of Mia, not understanding the meaning behind it. "Claiming something that is mine?"

Nodding her head profusely, Mia agreed to her words in a hurry. "Who is doing it? And what is the thing that is being claimed? Did I drop something behind?" Li Xue asked, still a bit confused with the words. She turned around to look if there was anything possible that she might have left behind but nothing came to her vision of sight.

"Mia, please be a little clear", she paused to give a helpless smile as she continued, "I am really not getting you. Wait I will get you some water first". She said and turned to get her a glass. Mia drank everything in one go and then was about to continue.

"Now tell me what's the matter? Why are you so anxious?" Li Xue asked, getting a little concerned. Mia looked at her and shook her head, "Of course any girl will panic or will be angry at such a thing Xue but seems like you are an exception. Someone else is calling your boyfriend to be theirs and you are all calm and fine here? How can you do that?"

The woman's brows got furrowed as she frowned a little at her words. "President Feng? Is he already here? Wait, what did you say? He is being someone's boyfriend?" Li Xue delusion got snapped at her own words. The first name that rose in her mind was of Kim Ryaan but then remembering how clear they had been with her last time she simply disqualified the chances.

Mia nodded her head once again and repeated. "Yes, outside that two twin sisters from before were saying that President Feng is dating Chef Ning from last year after they had attended a party together. And President Feng has even sent a bouquet of red roses to her after her mood got ruined because of you. They are all pitying you saying that your career is going crumble any other moment"

The young girl informed everything that happened outside. Li Xue remained silent for a few seconds then her lips curled up slightly into a smile, beautifying her amber eyes and the lines of easiness on her face. Seeing her smile, Mia was dumbfounded. "Li Xue, are you fine? You are still smiling. I thought that you would go out and let everyone know that Chef Ning is just weaving a web of lies and President Feng is your boyfriend".

Shaking her head in denial, she asked "Why should I? Aren't they waiting to see me crumble on the ground? So let them wait and waste their time. Why should I follow their suit? And do you think President Feng is someone who will dismiss any employee without any proper reason? He will never, so it is their bad that they are getting influenced by the rumours. Let them be"

She said. Her words came out all clear and sober. Mia was also taken aback by her simple thoughts. "Li Xue, are you really not offended? I mean President Feng is not someone simple. There may be many women that would be running after him, will you be calm and sober like this with every one of them" She asked, not understanding her easy attitude.

"Umm, I think I will have too because that will be the only right thing to do. I can't bother about anybody else when I know that President Feng will never pay any mind to them too. So why bother and be suspicious on him" she said, without noticing how she sounded with those words. And she was nowhere near realizing it.

"Okay it's already time and I need to leave too. Please wrap this station for me, and I will go and change. And also ask Chen Yujian's help in it. You don't have to do it alone. Tell him about everything he will be doing tomorrow", saying this she turned, removed her chef coat and left.

The moment she stepped out, a black Maybach stopped in front of her. Li Xue was shocked for a moment but when she saw its familiarity, she did not hesitate in pulling the door open and getting inside.

"President Feng!' she greeted as she took her seat beside him. "Hmm … How are you feeling now?" He asked, looking at her demeanour to get her answer.

Li Xue smiled and replied, "Ahh!! I am fine. Please don't worry so much about me". The man nodded and signalled the driver to start again. Though Li Xue has said all those overly understandable words in front of Mia, still now seeing the man sitting beside her she could not help but remember all the things that happened in Sweet Delicacy.

Her eyes stared at the man, piercing his attention again and again. "Is there something you want to ask me? You don't need to cook excuses for it. Just ask and I will answer it. I don't like you getting stressed at such trivial matters."

Hearing his words, Li Xue did not know whether to cry or feel touched at his words. She felt embarrassed. 'Mr. Beelzebub, can you please be a little clearer with your intention behind your words'.
