Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 184 - Where are your manners, Young boy?

After getting a good rest of loneliness, Li Xue finally took her ride to the Sweet Delicacy, thinking that her work might lighten her mood a little. But everything looked all the same at the workplace too, not giving any mood lift to the woman for her relief. Though she was in the best colourful place, the surrounding around her felt all colourless at a length of 30 centimetres from her.

The voice of laughter could reach her ears but she could not feel the cheerfulness around. She could see the enthusiasm on the people's faces but she could not feel it because of the confusion in her heart. "Arghh!! This Mr Beelzebub has ruined all for me. Why am I feeling it this way? Am I sick? Should I visit the doctor once more?"

She said to herself as she put her hands upon her forehead to check her temperature. "Xena, what happened? Are you feeling unwell?" At this moment, Chen Yujian, who had gone out to check on some work, came back. Before Li Xue could react to his words, he already brought his hands up to her forehead to check.

Li Xue was taken aback by his abrupt action but when realized his reason behind, she did not think much. "Ayee! Your temperature is all normal. How are you feeling? If you want, I can accompany you to the doctor" He offered. His eyes, getting a little concerned about her.

"Hey, why are you behaving like you are older than me. Do I really need someone to accompany me to visit the doctor? I can do that on my own. And I am all fine, you don't need to worry so much and also need not to tell your Uncle about it, okay?" she said with slight irritation in her voice that she was having from before.

Chen Yujian's lips got twitched when he heard her. This woman … Why was she treating him like that? He was just being concerned for her. Didn't normal girls like when men get concerned about them? Why was this woman so different from her kind?

"Why can't I tell my Uncle about it? Are you fearing him?" he asked, feeling a little offended on the mention of his name. He already had enough of their PDA last night. Why does she have to raise his topic again?

"Because that's my order and you are bound to follow it since you are still at your work. And the other thing, there is no way I can fear him. He is not a beast to scare me off. Now if you already understood the things then you can get back to work. We don't have a whole day to waste" she said, again getting back to whip the cream she was preparing for the desserts.

The young man was all stunned at her words. Did she really say that there is nothing in his uncle to fear? If he is not the person to be feared, then there would be no one else … Hmph! Who is she fooling?

"My Uncle is just not a beast; he is a Devil. Have you not heard of the saying before, the more attractive the beast charms are the more dangerous he is! Pretty lady, don't go for his charms yet, or you will be ruined", he said, pulling up an air of intrigue around.

Li Xue almost picked a spatula to hit his head, when she heard him saying something like that. "You dumb headed kid! This is how you repay your elders? Where are your manners? Your uncle even prepared dinner for you, last night and here you are calling him a beast and devil. At least have some gratefulness in your attitude!"

"Haha … What mannerism are you talking about? Don't be too delusional. My words are the truth. There is no way I will ever hesitate in telling the truth or how can I even call myself a man. And do you really think that yesterday's dinner was to celebrate my return? For God's sake, my uncle is not at all amiable to do something like that", he said pausing to give a pity look at her.

"…" Li Xue was all stumped when he heard him. She was about to comment but did not get any chance to, since the man standing in front started his words again, killing her chance.

"Yesterday's dinner was definitely not as it looked to normal eyes. To understand my Uncle's trick to need a brain a little like his. Since I also got half of my blood from the Feng family, I can feel and see through his tricks" he said, making himself look all majestic and great in his aura. Like just having half-blood of Fengs was enough to get the brains of the great Feng Shufen. But when he saw the woman rolling her eyes at his words, he coughed a little to hide his uncomfortable embarrassment.

"Yesterday's dinner was just to prove his claim. Or else, he would have never called me there. The person who barely cares to show his face at our prestigious family functions … with whom even my mother has to schedule in the time … Do you think he will ever care to give me such honour?" Chen Yujian concluded his all thoughts in one go, fearing that if he tried to give more build-up, the woman would simply not care to hear him.

Hearing all his words, Li Xue rubbed her chin, giving some thought and then nodded. "Oh, I see. There seems to be some conformity in your words. But what was there that Mr President wanted to claim and in front of whom? I thought he has always been the sole horse running in the race. The invincible one. None can ever compare him. Then … Does he also have competitors around?"

Her words sounded more like the praises of an idol from a fangirl's perspective.

The young master almost fainted when he heard her. Was this woman really asking him this? O, God! Why does she become so dumb when his uncle was in the question? Was she cursed to become a fool in front of the devil? There were no words for him to comment now.

Sighing internally, he finally said everything. "Of course that's you, my dear Xena! It was you who was claimed yesterday by my Uncle in front of everyone, especially me. So many things happened around you and you have no idea about it. Such a pity! And it was …" before he could even complete his words, he screamed and jumped out in pain, his fair face instantly getting red in agony. The woman has once again ruthlessly stamped her foot onto his hard, making him jump out in pain and shock.

"You … You …", he screamed making a 360 – degrees rotation on one foot.

"Don't dare to sprout nonsense here. Wasn't I already been clear to you yesterday. There is nothing between me and your uncle. Then why are you still making your hopeless assumptions here", Li Xue said, in a threatening tone.

"Because you are too wrong to think that", Chen Yujian defended his words.

"No, I am not. I am all right in my thoughts" Li Xue also said, getting all stubborn.

As they were busy among themselves, a voice snapped them out from their trance. "Chef Li, I have a request for you! It's pretty important and now only you can help us"
