Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

Li Xue was talking to Xiao Meng while wiping off her sweat when someone extended out a packed bottle of ice tea to her. She was momentarily stunned. Turning, she looked and her lips curled up in a smile as she greeted, "CEO Bai! I didn't expect to see you here. I thought you were having a meeting back in your office."

Bai Yuchen smiled and shook his head. "I was having it before but it got completed sooner than I expected. And since I had time I thought why not bring you an ice tea. After all, today's weather might be making you feel uncomfortable."

Li Xue smiled knowing well about his excuses. But then while taking the drink, she smiled. "Thank you for this. But from today on, you will no longer have to end your meeting early. With today's shoot, my last schedule has gotten over as well. So, you can focus on your work properly."

She said and slowly took a sip of her drink. The man frowned but didn't speak for a moment.

"This is good." Li Xue said, commenting on the ice tea she was drinking. Bai Yuchen smiled.

"Great. Since you like it, I can bring this to you often. It won't be a problem."

He said and Li Xue laughed, "Haha … that won't be needed, CEO Bai. You hold an authoritative position in tomorrow's best cosmetic company. It would be too much for me to ask such a thing from you." She said, clearly denying his advances but the man shook his head to say.

"It won't be an issue. After all, even a company's CEO could have his personal life."

Li Xue laughed out, pretending it to be a joke. But from the side, Xiao Meng spoke, "Sister Xue, if you like this drink that much, let me know the name of it, I will bring it for you from now on. It won't be good to make CEO Bai bothered."

She said and the intention in her words was clear. Li Xue was also stunned for a moment but she didn't point it out. Instead, smiling, she nodded before giving her the bottle to check. Then turning to CEO Bai, she said, "Problem solved. Meng Meng will get it for me from now on. There would be no need to bother you."

Bai Yuchen forced a smile. Clearly, he was not pleased with how things turned out. But there was nothing he could say as even after making so many attempts on Li Xue, the woman still treated him very professionally as if he never broke the barrier of professionalism with her.

"By the way, as you know we will be throwing a product launch soon. As a CEO I would need to bring a companion to the event. Since you have been the ambassador of our product, will you mind being my companion for the event?" He asked, holding an expression of expectation on his face.

Li Xue found it tough seeing him like that. But then keeping it direct, she said, "Since you have said it like that, I can't deny it. But I can't agree as well. I am just a model under the banner of Glamor World. Please put this request to Sister Xinyi and let her decide the things." She said and the man could only nod.

Not staying for long after that, Li Xue quickly checked the time on her watch and said, "Ah, it's almost time. I have plans with my friend later. I will ask for your leave, CEO Bai. Thank you for looking after us all this while." She said and quickly left.

A Bentley came to pick her up from the entrance of the studio. Climbing up the car, Li Xue turned to look at Xiao Meng and asked, "You don't like CEO Bai. Did something happen in the past?"

The assistant pouted. She has known Li Xue's relationship with Feng Shufen. Now that she has lost her memory, she feared that Li Xue's heart might get swayed towards some other man because of her forgetfulness.

Shaking her head, she politely denied to reason out. "I don't hate him. But I feel like he was pursuing you and being your fan since always, I feel like you deserve better than him."

This was the second time Li Xue was hearing the same thing. First, it was Feng Yi Lan and now it was Xiao Meng. It was not like she felt something for Bai Yuchen, but she really wanted to know what better the two were talking about.

She knew she lost her memories. She knew she can't force herself to remember it in one go but without those memories, she was feeling lost. She knew the people around her were holding the fragments of her memories, but even between them, she was feeling like something major was missing.

Li Xue didn't ask more even though she had an urge. Instead, she checked her phone to check the message from Feng Yi Lan. As expected there was a message from her about the mall she would be shopping from. Informing the driver about the location, she asked him to drive there.

And soon the car came to pause at the shopping complex's entrance. Getting down from the car, Li Xue made the call only to feel it getting received after a few rings.

"Hello, Yi Lan. I am here at the mall. Where are you?" She asked but from the other side came the pants of the woman as if she was running around anxiously. Not hearing the person reply on the other side, Li Xue called out again, "Yi Lan, you are there? What happened? Are you fine?"

"Li Xue, WeiWei is missing. I can't find her anywhere. Do something. I am at the mall and I brought her here with me. But now, she has gone missing" Feng Yi Lan spoke in an alarming tone, and Li Xue's expression turned all pale as if her soul had left her body.

[NOT RELATED TO THE CHAPTER: Although it is a bit long, please read it full.]

P.S:  Dear reader,

Thank you for always been patient and understanding towards me. As I have also said before, your love and support has been all that has kept me going these two years. Yeah, you read it right, it's been two years. I know I have not given many mass releases to impress you guys in this journey but believe me, I was simply incapable of that, I guess. I even made you wait for the chapters many times. But I am grateful that you all have been still been along with me all this while.

The book is about to end now. I thought to end it this month. But then as you all know; I have to shift to a different city for my studies which I have done last week and that's why the updates stopped for a meanwhile. Shifting to the new city took a toll on me. I fell ill terribly, and the updates were further delayed. All of this was not my intention but it happened.

I have still not fully recovered but I am better now and will start updating from today on. So welcome back. The story could end anytime soon, so don't stop supporting it in its ending days.

Before last month, my CE informed me that the book could get the highest ending event that would include exclusive badge, frames and other benefits for readers. And I was so excited for it thinking that my hard work of the two years would be well paid off. But recently that I have not released a few days, she informed me that the stats of the book dropped and not it's not enough to get the big event. I really wanted the book to get one and there is still some hope. But for that I would need all of your help. In return, I will try to release more chaps.

So, please if you think that I and the book deserve this, please help me support it with votes and gifts. Your every vote and gift will make a change, so vote and gift it. The book has never received any big gift, if anyone of you think that it has deserved one then please gift one. Sorry for the shamelessness, this is the first time I am asking it.
