Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 463 - Bridge that brought us together.

One of the hesitations that Li Xue held in their relationship has been her dark past. The stains on her reputation and character. She would never want people around her getting hindered because of her and her dreadful past. She would never want the things getting repeated again. Never want to see herself losing someone the same way she lost Yenay.

The loss of someone close to her heart made her heart adamant to not get near to anyone. But her life has never preferred to go according to her plans. Though she wanted to stay away from everyone, the people that cared for her never allowed her to walk away from them.

Be it her loyal, sincere friends like Feng Yi Lan and Su Fai or even Mr Beelzebub, instead of staying away from her, they only decided to come all close to her, to keep her protected. Putting irrelevance to all their coming disadvantages, they only regarded her to be their priority. Then how could she let them take the things alone on her behalf? In no way, she would!

In the past, it was for Yenay's belief in her that she wanted to prove herself to be innocent to this whole world. Once she lost her, her interest in proving her innocence was also gone. But now that she again has people believing her and their life could also get affected because of her stainful past, then she could only take a chance to get herself back on her previous self.

Her previous self that was independent and clean of any stain! But returning to her previous self would never mean that she was ready to lose the things she has earned in the last 5 years. Those hard 5 years were also precious to her and there was no way she was going to disregard them just to get back to her previous time.

"Mr Beelzebub, don't look at me like that. I have not said something that had cast a spell to make three heads grow on me. I am still sitting, having dinner with a single head. So there is nothing amusing in me to make you look at me like that". Li Xue said, getting another forkful of salad into her mouth. They were already sitting at the dining table having their breakfast.

Little Li Wei was also sitting and enjoying her breakfast. Though many things were going on at the table, being her Mama's obedient princess, she was not paying any heed to them, remembering her Mama's words saying that little kids should not pay their ear to elder's talks. But when she heard her Mama say something like that, she could not help her laughter inside.

Giving light giggles to her mother, she said, "Mama, you are so funny. I have read in a book that humans don't have three heads. That happens only in fantasy stories and that too to the demons. Haha…"

But her laughter soon stuck back in her throat when felt her Mama's eyes on her. Her expression clearly reminding her of the bad manners she has been advised to not commit. At her mother's reminder, the little one quickly understood and went back to focus on her food.

Feng Shufen slightly scrunched her brows while keeping his lips in a straight thin line. Looking at Li Xue, he simply said, "That will become more stressful for you. You don't have to do it. Apply for renunciation and I will personally approve it".

"I said it already Mr Beelzebub. I am not going to apply for any renunciation because I am not going to leave Sweet Delicacy in any way" Li Xue rejected the idea blatantly, shrugging her shoulders back like a disobedient kid.

Feng Shufen could only sigh at her increasing stubbornness. With the tone of defeat, he said, "With a career revolving around the media, it will be tough for you to remain as the chef and work in the kitchen. I am just trying to help you relieve the stress"

Chewing her food all properly in her mouth, Li Xue nodded to his words nonchalantly as she said, "I know, it is going to be tough! But for that I have an idea". And then snapped her head to look at the man mischievously. He ambers giving all expectant but at the same time devilish looks to him.

At her such sudden change of expression, the man could only raise his brows of askance at her. Just by her that one look, he already knew that at the end of the day, he was doomed to give in to the lady's demands. He was not sure if she was truly innocent to not know her effects on him or was just pretending to be that way. But he was sure that in every game where she would be participating against him, his failure would become inescapable.

"Didn't you say that you would help me whenever I ask you? So, help me find a way for this because I am definitely not willing to give up my career as a chef in any way", she said, getting on her stubborn adamant side.

The man did not say anything for a good moment of time. Li Xue also did not add any more words to the topic. But just when they were at the end of the routine, she suddenly asked, "Did my stubbornness getting hard for you to take, Mr Beelzebub? If yes, then you can tell me. I won't burden you but will also not leave the Sweet Delicacy"

Feng Shufen did not reply to her, instead pull out his phone to make a call. Getting the call connected on the other side, he simply ordered, "Gao Fan, ask our business lawyer to visit me soon. I have to make some amendments in the employment contract of Sweet Delicacy". Once completed his words, he disconnected the call and put it back into his pocket.

The woman could only be speechless.

Was he really planning to make changes to employment contracts for everyone, just because she has asked something from him? Won't that create a huge ruckus for him and the dessert brand altogether? Was he willing to take such a great risk for her?

She wanted to ask him about it but before she could put any question forward, he questioned her.

"Wasn't being an international fashion model aim for you? Then, why are you so reluctant to give up on your designation in Sweet Delicacy?" Feng Shufen asked, keeping his eyes at her with some hidden curiosity.

"Because that's something that has been the bridge between you and me in our initial days. There is no way I am going to abandon the source that brought us together. They are too valuable for me to lose" Li Xue at once replied, as if those words have been long in her heart. It was just she has never cared to reveal.
