Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

At Zheng Industries,

The whole office was roaring at the chaos. From the start of the morning, Wenting was busy in meetings, explaining to everyone about his management plans regarding the big amount of investment he has made.

He was losing both, the people and their trust. He knew it, but still, he was trying his best to prove himself. "Mr Shen, I don't think I can attend anymore meetings at this moment. Please wrap the day for me. I have some other personal works to attend". Wenting said to his secretary as he stood up, taking his suit jacket in his hand.

"But sir, the next meeting is …" Mr Shen tried to hold him back but the man was already quite hard-headed to not listen to anyone's words or advice when he has got other things already in his plans.

"Mr Shen, you can see my haggard look. Do you think I am in any position to attend all these tough work any longer today? The day was already quite long for me, now I want to go back and take a deep hot water bath" Zheng Wenting said as he came forward to stand in front of the feeble man, patting his shoulders lightly, asking his understanding.

"Furthermore, I need to reach somewhere too. So please just wrap the work for today" He said and then took a note of the time on his wristwatch. It was already time for Li Xue to get off work and he needs to catch her before she returns back to her housing society.

Remembering how insulted he has gotten back at her place, his facial features became stiff. There would be no way in which he would be going to visit her at the place he was insulted so bad. Taking a note of his plans for the evening again in his head, he gave a last nod to his secretary and walked off.

Suddenly his phone dinged up with a text message. Though he was in no mood of checking it, he still pulled it up. His eyes hardened when found that it was another transaction message from his card.

On the other side, Li Xue has been informed that Wen Sying has left after paying for all the meal boxes.

"Li Xue, don't you think celebs have a hell lot of money to spend. Look at Wen Sying, she spent so much just to treat her fans a better meal. They must be earning too much to not care whether they were using their money or wasting it", Mia suddenly said, as she came hopping to Li Xue's side.

Li Xue looked at her for quite some time and then nodded. She held back her laughter within, realizing what devil play she has played on Wen Sying today. "Yes, sometimes they do earn a lot. But the boat does not always sail in fun. Why are you asking? Are you regretting that you lost your chance to get on the ship's crew to enjoy the fun?"

"Why would I regret it? If only for a simple meal box, I can become your fan and enjoy it anytime I want. That way at least I would not have to put a pretence of admiration for anyone. And I am sure this offer will never have an expiry date as the ship will never sink", Mia said, raising her brows to show off her good brains.

Li Xue could only shake her head at her words. "I never knew that you also were a sweet talker. Knows well how to make words in favour of yourself." She said as she turned her back to the young girl and asked, "Please help me remove this apron. I have almost done my work for today and it's already time to get off work ".

"I was being genuine, Li Xue, not a sweet talker. Believe me! Didn't I already told you earlier that I have liked you from the first day I have found you", Mia responded as her fingers worked to undo the ribbon strings of the apron.

"Yes, yes, I remember. But …" her words halted when she heard her phone ringing. When came to look at her phone, it was some unknown number. Her brows got a little jutted in a frown when sensed some familiar order of digits.

"What happened, Li Xue? Whose call is this?" Mia asked when saw her frowning but she did not receive any proper reply. The woman just shook her head in nothingness and said.

"It's no one important. Some unknown number. Let me check this, till then you go and wrap your work. Later I will drop you at the nearest subway".

"Okay, that's perfect I will enjoy the free ride then. I will go and wrap everything soon", Mia said as she quickly went to complete her remaining work while Li Xue received the call.

The moment passed but Li Xue did not say anything to respond to the call until she heard the doubting voice from the other side, "Li Xue, are you there on the call?"

Her lips tugged a little at a side forming a smirk as she answered, "Good evening CEO Zheng! I never found it necessary to save your contact in my phonebook but seeing how much you are frequenting around my house and calls I think for my own convenience I should consider that thought".

"Li Xue, you don't always have to talk in this way. I have not called you uselessly. I am seeking you for some purpose, so let's meet", He said on the other side and Li Xue could clearly visualize the expression of self – superiority he would be holding on his face at this moment.

She could not believe where he was getting such confidence. Scoffing, she said, "If something is not useless for one, that does not mean that it will be useful for others too. CEO Zheng, I don't think that meeting you will be any use to me. So I guess, that's …"

"It will definitely be useful to you. Believe it when I say to you. Decide it after meeting me. I will be out of your workplace in another half an hour. So wait till I reach there" Zheng Wenting said confidently as he disconnected the call without hearing her reply in return.
