Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 43 - Mr. Beelzebub

Li Xue no longer knew how to react in such a situation. As all the stares?got directed to her, she gulped and looked in the direction of the man who has caused these weird stares to look at her.

"President Feng, you don't have to treat me so highly. Your such words of high consideration might create the rumors in the air. Please clarify your words. Does your word mean that since I am your choice, you will be offended if someone calls me incapable?" she said, trying to get hold of her trembling body. Her words felt more like she herself was trying to hide some secret from the world.

Feng Shufen was intrigued to look at the little woman. In an immediate situation like this, she often messes up with her words herself and then thinks that whatever she came up with, was the best defense she could hold. A wave of curiosity washed over him, to know if she was like this just in front of him or someone else has the same effect on her.

He tilted his head at her, making his expression look like he was contemplating her words. Then after some time, he nodded "Yeah you could say that"

Could say that! Ahh! Mr. Beelzebub, could you please spare my life now? Your words can't do anything good apart from creating rumors. Don't you fear that your soon to be arriving girlfriend, will roast you up if heard you say something like that for another woman?

Li Xue nearly cried loud internally, thinking that it may bring her out from the weird dream she was in. But nothing such thing happened as she wasn't in her dream rather in the reality where she was facing this cold, sterling eyed handsome, charming man. She wanted to dig a hole in the ground so that she could hide herself in.

Behind Feng Shufen, Gao Fan maintained his stoic expression, like the sudden change in his Presidents hasn't been sudden, instead he has always been like this. He felt like he no more knew the man for whom he has worked so many years now. The words he was using and the expression he was having on his face all were new to him.

'God! Did President Feng get exchanged somewhere, and in place of him some imposter has taken his place', he cried out in his head as he can't go over emotional outwardly.

Other chefs were also stumped at his words, not knowing if they have really offended someone whom they shouldn't have too. Their eyes darted between both the man and the woman like they will get the answers between them.

Looking at so many curious gazes upon them, assuming things on their own, she could not help but throw the politeness she was showing in front of everyone at the back of her head and glared at the man.

Her amber eyes showed the hint of an alpha tigress who was at the edge of losing her patience. Her lips were curved up slightly giving Feng Shufen a warning smile, which definitely reached him without any delay.

Not only the man, but other people present in the room has witnessed such beautiful but aggressive form of her. It would have been okay, if it was directed to some other man in this world. But with the man in front being none other than Feng Shufen, the thing got more and more complicated.

Gao Fan's eyes popped out looking at the woman who had dared to eye the President like this. He opened his mouth to discipline her but stopped, when he saw an amusing smirk slowly creeping on the man's lips. 'The President has truly changed!' he confirmed in his mind.

"President Feng, I don't intend to call her incapable. If my words sounded that way, please pardon me. I haven't known that Ms. Li Xue has personally been appointed by you. If your eyes have chosen her then in no way she could be lower than any of us", the Chief Chef tried to turn back everything in favor of him.

But Feng Shufen was in no mood to let go of this matter easily. For some reason he felt an urge to teach everyone a lesson who has dared to look down on the woman who is becoming important in his life slowly and slowly.

"It's okay. Since you all have a doubt in your head. I will help you clarify it. Since you find her so incapable, prove me wrong for choosing her. Go ahead and prepare two courses of cuisines all by yourselves. And let her prepare the desserts on her own. At the end of the day whoever wins will stay and the other will leave", his words frightened everyone, but they weren't given any choice, rather it was the only way they had to take the things forward.

The Chef was about to try some words to decline but before he could, Feng Shufen already cleared his words again, "So that is how it will go today. Two teams, the one win will stay and the one loses will leave his post and dream". Saying that he didn't wait, stood up, turned and left.

Li Xue was at loss of words. This man was truly unbelievable! He made it seem like he was siding with her but at the end he has made all necessary preparations to kick her out of the way. Seemed like soon she had to go looking for some job. She sighed slamming her head with her palm.

Mia who was sitting beside her looked at her all depressed and gently patted her shoulders, "Hey don't worry! You can do it. The President has a high belief in you. You will surely be the winning team. But did you know President Feng from before? He sounded so protective for you"

Hearing the girl mention it, Li Xue wanted to cry her tears out. Who knows him? It was just a short encounter and it will make her lose this job. He is just the greatest tyrannical king in this whole world. The name, Mr. Beelzebub is best suited for him.

At? the same moment outside, Gao Fan was following Feng Shufen close behind when he asked, "President, should I look for some assistant for Ms. Li Xue?"

"No need! She can manage", he said with a cool tone, like the meeting he attended just now made his day. Feng Shufen remembered her eyes glaring at him so beautifully and then the other second, her daze expression surfaced his eyes making her look so cute and adorable.

His steps paused in the middle of the tracks, remembering something. "Go and ask her to come into my office and also set necessary cameras in the canteen kitchen. I don't want any dirty tricks in the air. Everything should be fair", his tone, getting a little stern at the end.

Gao Fan was not needed to be told twice. He nodded in the acceptance of orders and quickly went to execute it.
