Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

Li Xue has long learned the way to carry herself. She knew well when to bend in politeness and when to make herself stiff with a righteous attitude. This was something she wasn't taught in some academy but from her own experiences in her modelling career.

She never had a godfather to help or protect her. She never needed one as she has always been self- sufficient to create her own paths of opportunities and safeguard her respect. 'A tough beauty born to rule the success' was the title granted to her. It wasn't just a title, it was her life.

Even after she left the fashion industry getting all ruined with humiliation and betrayal, she never changed. Her motivation, trust and hope were snatched away but her righteousness and fate were still intact. People say that everything can be robbed away but not your fate and your fated one.

Same went with Li Xue. Though she was rooked out of fame, pushed to her lowest to ruin but that never stopped her from shining again. Never stopped her from finding her new path to fame and success. Though she had still a long way to go before she reached her destination once again, she was perfectly on the right track.

She was at the place where her fate wanted her to be!

When the Executive Chief of the Sweet delicacy, Huo Rong saw the woman full of confidence enter his office, he was quite impressed. He has already heard a lot about her skills in the last few days and now finding her so professionally sober and polite with her words and attitude, he really feels like he has bagged a gem whom he can nurture well.

"Good morning Ms Li Xue! Please …" he replied back to her greeting and then gestured to her to take a seat across him. Huo Rong was a man in his beginning years of middle age, looking very professional and unbiased in his actions.

Li Xue nodded to his words and with her lips slightly curled, she pulled a chair out to take her seat. "Thank you!" she replied in a formal gesture as she waited for the man to begin his words.

"Ms Li Xue, I have heard a lot about you both from your previous manager back in your town and also from the Chief Head Chef, about your marvellous dessert skills at Feng Internationals.  They said you are quite good at your work and standards. Though I am not the one to believe their words but knowing that President Feng, himself quite liked your desserts; I can't deny those words. I can't dare to question his likings or judgements", Executive Chief, Huo Rong said all with a welcoming smile on his face.

Looking at him, the woman said, "I will try not to let down the high beliefs of the people that trusted me. Thank you for giving me an opportunity to come here and prove myself", she had just completed her words when suddenly the door was pushed open, following a cheerful voice.

"And I am here to help my Xena in that. I will not let her fail in her promises or in anything. She will always have my back" The young, tall man, looking cheerfully handsome entered the office in his dark black hoodie, blue denim pants and white sneakers. There was a kind of arrogance in the air around him. An aura that wasn't too formidable but was simply letting everyone know that he wasn't as simple as he looked.

Li Xue raised her brows when she saw the same guy from before. If it had been some other woman in this situation, then they would have already blown up the scene. But Li Xue was too calm and composed for that. She did not word out her frustration at the scene rather waited for the scene to unveil on its own.

Looking at her like this a smile covered the charming man's face as he let out a peal of small amused laughter. 'As expected, she is not like others. She is different from all the women I have met before', he muttered to his heart to let it know at whom he has decided to set his target.

"You …", The Executive Chief was also confused with the sudden appearance of a stranger about whom he was yet to be informed.

"Ahh!! Sorry I haven't introduced myself properly". His words were in the formal apologetic tone but guiltiness was the last expression he had on his face. His eyes were still fixed at Li Xue, who did not bother to spare any second glance at him. She was simply looking at the front, her attention trained towards her superior, Huo Rong.

'Huh? Interesting! To you, this old man is more handsome than me. Your eyes are not leaving him even for a second!' He muttered under his breath as he took his steps inside the Executive office.

"I am Chen Yujian. I have been enrolled here as an inte he gave a brief formal introduction and then without asking any permission, pulled the chair to take his seat. Huo Rong was also amazed by his attitude but there was nothing he could do about it; especially after knowing his identity.

While the other person was taken aback by his arrogant comportment, the woman seemed unfazed to the scene. There was no doubt that she has seen the changing demeanour of the Executive Chief. Seeing him like that, she had an inkling of the reasons; but still, she decided to feign ignorance. As she knew, 'Sometimes ignorance is the best way to buy time to know the things and enemies better'.

She ignored the presence of the person beside her and waited for her turn to speak. "Good morning, Mr Chen! I did not know that you had a joining today. I have been informed that you chose a day after this week. Maybe it was some kind of misunderstanding", The Executive Chief said. His words and tone were suitable for the situation but still one can feel the tinge of politeness in it.

"You are not wrong Chief Huo. Today I have just come here to take a look at the place and environment where I will be spending my time next week. But after knowing and seeing this place thoroughly, I don't think it would be good to delay things anymore" Chen Yujian said and then paused to take a look back at the woman beside him. Looking at her so calm and sober, he couldn't help but question his own charms.

"Everything here seems to be very interesting and worth a try, so I have decided to start my training days from today itself. I hope you don't have any objections regarding that", he said more like a command than permission.

The Executive Chief shook his head and then said, "No, no, not at all. What objection could we have? Give me some time, so that I can sort out under which Head Chef, you will be working with. Just a second!" Saying his words in slight haste, the man pulled up the receiver of the phone and pinged his assistant to come in with details.

Soon the assistant came in with a file and directly walked to whisper something to the middle-aged man's ears. Hearing out the words, Huo Rong nodded and then took the file to overview it one time.

Flipping the pages one after the other, he said "Ms Li Xue, since you already know Mr. Chen is going to be an intern under our brand, then I won't be much detail with you. I can only inform you that he is very skilled according to his achievements and has graduated from the Culinary Arts Academy, Switzerland. From today onwards, he will be working under you and you will be his chief supervisor. Here is his file of information, you can check it and try your ways to nurture him".
