Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

"Li Xue, I have put the order forward to Chefs of the teams that prepare meal boxes. They have already started the work on it and all the boxes will be served soon" Mia informed as she came back.

Li Xue has already gotten back to her work. Her hands worked efficiently and professionally on the ingredients in front of her. She was so drowned in her work that no one would say that she had kept someone waiting for her outside.

"Hmm~" Li Xue affirmed lightly when heard Mia words but she did not lift her head to look at her. All her attention was devoted to the work she was busy with.

Seeing her such a nonchalant mysterious expression, the young girl pouted as she stomped her way to get near her like a sullen kid that was demanding her attention. "Li Xue …!"

"Is there something, Mia?" Li Xue asked curling her lips slightly as she turned her body a little sideways to get a small bottle of essence liquid for the side shelf.

Mia looked at her and nodded her head profusely, "Yes, yes, of course, I have so many questions …"

"Umm Mia, help me preheat the oven. I would need it later", Li Xue ordered lightly, immediately refraining her from putting any question forward even though she has just given her the permission to ask. Her lips curling slightly, giving an arc of tease.

Not understanding the tease, Mia guilelessly nodded and immediately went to keep the oven at the preheating temperature. When came back, she initiated her words again but was again interrupted with another request.

This trick was repeated for a few times until Li Xue could not suppress her chuckle anymore. Putting her hands on her hips, Mia asked, puffing her cheeks up, "Li Xue are you tricking me?"

Without showing any hesitation, Li Xue nodded, "Yes, I was. I thought to let you know something. But never mind, you are too sweet and innocent to understand all this." She said as her lips curled a little up to give a soft smile.

Mistakes can never be blamed on others. Betrayal! Getting betrayed by someone is not their mistake rather yours that you offered them a chance to do so.

That was something Li Xue has learnt from her life. She wanted to share it with Mia but seeing the girl so naïve to even consider all her surroundings, she went against her thoughts. Sometimes it was just not necessary that every being in this world will experience something bad in their life.

Sometimes life can also go soothing enough to not garner any enemies around. And to her, Mia seemed that type of exception. A naïve, bubbly exception!

"Okay now go ahead and ask what you wanted to ask all this while? I won't tease your curiosity anymore", Li Xue said, getting her attention back at her work.

Mia looked at Li Xue and pondered for a while before saying, "Is Wen Sying really here to meet you?"

"Mhm – hmm" a simple confirmation was given without any substantial details which only raised confusion in Mia's mind more. Though she knew that knowing a celeb was no big deal when she was already acquainted with someone of much higher level like President Feng, still she was excited to know that her friend has a friend in celebrity society.

"Ohh so she is your friend like she said before? Should I give your name in her bill as a reference? That will help her with a good discount. You know meal boxes here are not that low in price. And that will …" Mia asked again.

But before her words could come to the desired full stop, Li Xue said in an easy tone, "You don't have to do that. She is not my friend. If you want, you can get a meal box for yourself and add it up to my account. I can treat you considering you as my friend but I would never want to waste my employee points for this type of charity".

If it had been before then Li Xue would not have hesitated in doing anything for Sying, given to how dear she held her to her heart. But seeing her such aloofness at her worst time, she has lost all her interest and trust in the friendship they once shared.

Wenting has never been the reason between them. Li Xue has never fallen so deep for him to stake all her other relationships just to keep him by her side. She felt betrayed not because Wenting and Sying got together, leaving her heartbroken, but it was more because they failed to show their loyalty, trust and compassion for her.

"Huh? But didn't you say that she was here to meet you?" Mia suddenly asked, not understanding where she was going wrong in understanding. "Li Xue I am getting confused. If you don't explain to me then I will really take your offer and order a meal box for myself. Don't blame me then".

Li Xue could only shake her head. "I am not refusing that Mia. Ms Wen is definitely here to visit me but she is not my friend. You just can't call anyone who comes to meet me as my friend." She said and then lifted up the flat baking tray to the oven, she has asked Mia to preheat before.

"But Wen Sying said …"

���Are you also her fan follower?" Li Xue suddenly questioned out of curiosity. Though it was not needed, she still thought to be a little cautious. It's not good to hurt anyone's feelings towards their idol. True fans might take it to their heart.

Mia didn't answer directly. She just chuckled lightly and said, "Haha … Li Xue, looking at me do you think I am a girl to follow any fashion model. I am just a little bit interested in that industry, since ..." Suddenly pausing, she shook her head and simply added the conclusion without completing the introduction she has paused in mid.

"No, I have never been her fan. I just like to hear a little about the modelling industry".

Li Xue gazed at her. It was her first time, finding something amiss in Mia's expressions.
