Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 482 - Don't you already have an intimate relationship with President Feng?

Outside just when Li Xue was about to leave the restaurant to walk in the parking lot, she deliberately stopped hearing a call from behind.

"Chef Li!"

Li Xue rolled her eyes, exactly knowing the person who has come to interrupt her. Did all people have the same day to create a disturbance? Couldn't they come taking their turns and appointments? With the couple's drama back in the room, she was already at the edge and at this moment she wants nothing but to return home in peace.

But since one of the other disturbing personalities was already ready to create a show, there is no way she could see a way to avoid it.

So, putting a pressed smile over her lips, Li Xue turned around to attend to the woman who has shown up out of blue. "Oh, Chef Ning, you are here. What a narrow road I am walking on! Seems like this restaurant is quite an attractive one or else how would I have encountered you here?" She greeted in her own playful way that was delivered all perfectly to the woman standing in front.

But it was like today Ning Meiling was not out to back down with any sarcastic remarks. Reciprocating Li Xue with the same smile, she said, "Of course, this restaurant is quite an attractive one, you have chosen Chef Li. But I am not surprised to see you here as your personality is already quite mysteriously intriguing that my surprise could simply not match any suspense."

She paused to give a smile of superiority as she walked to circle her and continue like she has known all her secrets of all this time. "First, getting Chen Yujian to your side, then your friendship with Ms Feng. Getting and winning the challenge with that odd old lady with some exquisite dish, your doubtful relation with Ms Wen Sying and now, here with the CEO of Zheng Enterprises. Aren't you already a great mystery that had already surprised me to the nth degree?" She said as she ended her words with a knowing chuckle.

Li Xue was not a dumb one to not understand that the woman has clearly come to corner her. The day was really not an easy one for her!

Deepening her smile on her lips, she retorted back with a very composed tone, "Haha … Really, Chef Ning! I never knew that I have become such an interesting and intriguing subject to you, which you are willing to study so desperately and that too with such sincerity".

And those words were enough to mark the end of the patience of Ning Meiling at an instance.

How could anyone remain so calm and composed when the person at the front was clearly dying to make them lose their patience? After all, patience was not something that one could build in just a few attempts or by copying someone's tone or way of speaking. It needs both time and also countless efforts.

Then how come Ning Meiling could even think to match the ways of Li Xue. That was called taking your enemy's strengths easy and for granted.

"You … Don't play with your words with me, Chef Li, especially when I am aware of all the tricks you are playing behind the curtains". Ning Meiling bit with an edgy tone that only brought a chuckle from Li Xue.

"Don't feel offended, Chef Ning. But you know the tricks of the tricksters could only be caught by another great trickster. Since you were able to catch my trick, you must have got inexplicable tricks up your sleeves too" she said as she stared at the woman with utmost sobriety in her eyes, clearly challenging her to come with the worse.

At her challenge, Ning Meiling could only clench her fist at her sides. "Chef Li, please don't provoke me anymore"

"Didn't you come for the same purpose?"

"I was just here to ask you what did you do to make President Feng choose you as his Special Chef? I didn't see Director Huo announcing anything. He just came to declare it". Chef Ning said, clearly fuming in rage. Of course, it was only right for her fume in agitation, after all, just one announcement was making everyone question her aged built story.

Li Xue didn't say anything for a good moment of time. She just nodded her head with some contemplation before drawing a little close to the woman to whisper, "Chef Ning, how could you ask me that? Don't you already have a better intimate relationship with President Feng to ask him yourself?"

Ning Meiling's eyes immediately dilated at her words. Was she trapping her in her own web of lies?

"Chef Li, …" she tried to start but Li Xue was already fast enough to put an end to her words even before she could proceed any further.

"Ah, I meant to say it like that because after all it's President Feng's decision and only he is countable for it. A menial chef like me could never have any idea of his thoughts nor have the power to question his decisions". Li Xue said and then turned ready to leave, "Now we have already completed our greetings, I think it's our time to say goodbye too. So, goodbye, Chef Ning! See you soon!"

She said before turning back to leave the premise of the restaurant. Behind her, Ning Meiling could only stomp her feet hard. "Chef Li, this will not be easy. I was the first one to have President Feng in my heart. You just can't come suddenly and take him away from me. I will never let you or anyone do that". She huffed out in aggression.

Outside when Li Xue reached the parking lot, she could not find her car anywhere. She was sure to tell her driver to follow behind Zheng Wenting's car earlier. Then how come it was not there.

She looked around to give a second check for her car but still, her eyes could not find it anywhere in the parking lot. Pulling her phone out, she was about to ring her driver to ask but right then her moments paused when from the corner of her eyes, she saw a car making its way to her.

Her lips pouted a little, showing her disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e but at the same time her eyes still shining with the ambience of happiness.
