Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

"Mr Secretary, earlier, were you worried thinking that I would simply let the manager off because of his words of begging?" Li Xue asked as she strolled out of the mall with Gao Fan following her, two steps behind.

The Secretary was instantly flustered. He did think that. Wasn't women's greatest weakness always been their kindness?

If not, then instead of running off and forgetting the things that happened with the lady years ago, she would have remained rooted to prove her innocence. Would have willed to punish those who did wrong to her. She would not have let her so-called best friend and ex-boyfriend to enjoy her ruins and degradations. She would have become ruthless to fight back.

But whatever his thoughts would have been about the things he still could not dare to believe in them any longer. Because now things seemed changing. He did not know if it was his President who had guided the lady or had just left the spark in her heart but he could see the change in her personality.

And for his doubt on her, he was already embarrassed, after all, the lady still stood up at her right stand and punished the manager in the right way.

"Madam, I …" he started to apologize but before his words could get anywhere, Li Xue let out a chuckle and interrupted his embarrassment.

"Haha … It's fine, Mr Secretary. I can understand your thoughts and concerns. Kindness is definitely jewellery that we, women, are taught to wear since we are young but we also don't lack brains. We know when exactly to bend and when to take our stand against the wrong". Li Xue said, as she slightly paused in her tracks and then turned to look back over her shoulders to present a smile to the man following her from behind.

Gao Fan understood both her words and her nonchalant smile. "Sorry, Madam! From the next time, I will definitely keep your words in mind" He said as his eyes stared down at the floor, not matching the gaze of the lady.

"I believe you, Mr Secretary". She said as before again started taking her steps to the parking where the black Maybach was parked in its full glory.

Though to the ears, it sounded only the three plain words, the man could feel the weight of guilt and further expectation, the woman was intending to give to his heart. Maintaining someone's beliefs and trust was not a simple task to do.

On reaching near the car, Gao Fan quickly went forward to open the door for the lady in a polite gesture. "Thank you!" Li Xue looked at him, smiled and then slowly got into the car where the man was already sitting and moving his fingers on the laptop.

"You should have left your work after completing your task there. What's the reason to rush here so urgently when your schedule in the office was yet to get over?" She said the moment she got into the car to find the man busy. After getting the call from the man earlier and seeing the things getting messed before the disconnection, she was already sure of his arrival, but still, she wanted the man to know that his rush in urgency was not required.

Feng Shufen's fingers paused for a moment and in the next second, folded the screen shut to close the laptop, before saying, "I am the Boss of my company so work can always wait for me till I settle my wife's matters. My wife is my best priority"

Li Xue could only purse her lips at his words. His words were right, she could not retort it back. So, she simply pressed her lips to feign the displeasure and then turned her face to look out the window.

While at the front Du Fan and Gao Fan were all perplexed at the situation. Was their President Feng and Lady Boss having a tiff? Should they help them solve it? They pondered on their own thoughts but before they could reach any conclusions, they heard their boss say with all nonchalant tone, like moments before the woman had not turned her face against him.

"You did not shop for anything? Was there nothing of your liking?" Feng Shufen asked. His eyes, looking all warmly at the woman, whose pretence of anger was not hidden from his eyes. He finds her beautiful this way, more like adorable. Her cheeks puffed a little out in a rounder shape with a hue of redness over it. And every now and then, her eyes would move to the sides, just to find his eyes on herself.

"My card did not have enough balance to shop around" Li Xue curtly replied, without turning to look at the man.

The man did not reply anything in response for some time. From the side of her eyes, she saw him shifting a little to withdraw something out of his pocket. Her brows scrunched a little but she did not understand what it was about.

"Here, keep this always with yourself," Feng Shufen said as he forwarded a shiny black card to her. Li Xue turned slightly to look at the card and then said, shaking her head.

"Nope, that will not be needed. I have money in my card" she rejected and the man raised his brows at her words. To which she quickly added, "I mean I have two cards. Unfortunately, the one I was carrying today doesn't have enough balance but later I will keep in mind to carry the right one. So, you don't have to give your card to me. Furthermore, this is a black card and has a high limit to spend. I fear that I would become more careless with it in my wallet. What if I get over-excited and use it on everything? That time you will be in trouble and I would not want that".

At her words, Feng Shufen could not help but give a flutter of a deep chuckle. "Are you doubting my capabilities, my love? Do you think that I would go insolvent with your spending?"

Li Xue was taken aback. When did she say something like this? Could that even happen? Not even if she spends uselessly on everything for the rest of her life. This man has got a thousand million turnover every day. There was no way she could imagine him getting insolvent.
