Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 76 - Her Fiancée.

"No, Li Xue! You can't take it all on yourself. I will help you out in this" Wenting offered, without caring about the over – protective tone he has used. People started looking at him as if they were trying to speculate something from the midst of his words.

There was a firmness and possessiveness of concern in between his words. A type of concern that was not right for him to show for any other woman who was not his girlfriend. But he did not give any hoot to those thoughts of rights and wrong and took out his platinum credit card out to pay the bill.

There was an urgency in his movement as if he did not quicken his process then he would not be allowed. He was doubtful that the woman will again turn him down and will deny his help. Looking at him like this anyone can say the last presented facts were wrong. His desperation was giving away the certitude that in the past it could not be Li Xue, the one to chase after him rather the other way round.

Wenting was about to hand over the card to the waitress but before he could, a firm order in a beautiful voice rang in the room. The words were very much curt and sharp, enough to make everyone halt their movements and thoughts.

"No need!" Li Xue denied everything in a very curt manner, without caring to give any face to anyone. The man turned to look at her and found her sitting with a calm smile.

"I can help you", he tried again but was again denied in clear words. "You don't have to. I am capable to take care of my things"

Zheng Wenting did not know what to say anymore. He has long lost the rationality of the situation and has long given up on the thoughts of people staring around. At this moment he only had Li Xue in front of him and nothing else mattered.

Sying who was sitting just in between the man and woman felt a wave of antagonism wash over her. She wanted to scream 'Enough!' at the man for his actions. Wanted to remind him that she was his girlfriend, not the other woman for whom he was showing so much concern. But due to restrictions of the kind character she was holding, she could only suppress herself by gritting her teeth.

She can feel everyone's surmising gazes on them. She wanted to explain to them that all the things they are speculating have nothing truth in it, but the actions of the man were making it tough for her.

Controlling the rising anger and disappointment in her heart, Sying turned to face Li Xue. Placing her own hand over hers, she said with a warm smile "Li Xue, it's fine. Let Wenting help you. You don't always have to be strong in situations like this. We all are friends; we should help each other. And Wenting is just doing that. Don't let people overthink this. Okay?"

Her words were clearly drawing line between the man and woman. Sensing this, Li Xue's one side lips tugged a little upwards in a slight mocking sneer, "Wen Sying, what did I do to make people overthink. I am just saying that I can handle my things myself. Is it that tough to understand? The bill will be nothing for me".

Saying this Li Xue pulled out a card from her handbag, then extending it towards the waitress, she said "This is the preferential employee card of Feng Internationals. It has got enough points to pay off all the prices of these sweets. Please charge the bill on this"

The waitress smiled as she took the card and went out to carry out the process. "Sure Mam!"

Wen Sying felt humiliated. She was about to say something again but the man sitting beside her held her hands. "Let it be. Since she is saying that she could handle then it will only be right for her to do it". Zheng Wenting was also feeling the same, but the cause of his bitterness was different.

The other people who were sitting at the table were all dumbfounded but suddenly someone asked, "Li Xue, you are working for Feng Internationals? Since when?"

The woman nodded and simply replied, "It's already been more than four years now". Since the question was asked plainly, the woman did not mind giving an answer in a plain way. She has not come out to declare a war on everyone rather has only wanted to let a particular person know that she was still the same and anyone has yet a long way to cross to get victory against her.

"More than four years! That's really long. We never knew that once a diva queen has skills of cooking too", someone commented in fair light. These were the men who have been once the admirers of the woman, but never got any chance to come in front of her. Since now they have got an opportunity, they did not want to let it slide off because of some brainless women who had their heart only filled with envy.

Soon most of the men in the group started chiming in admiration. Li Xue did not say anything, but accepted everyone's appreciation with a smile. Looking at the scene, all the other women felt envious.

Soon it was time to leave as the desserts got completed. Zhen Wenting casted one last look towards the woman and then called out the waiter, "Please bring the bill"

"Sir, the bill has already been paid", the waitress informed him after entering the room. Everyone was shocked again. It seemed like the surprises for the day had not gotten over yet.

"Paid? Who paid it?" Wenting asked, looking around. His eyes paused at Li Xue for a second but the woman did not mind his stares as she took up a napkin to wipe off her lips lightly. He then moved to look at Sying and asked for a confirmation, "Did you already pay the bill?"

Sying shook her head in denial, "No, I didn't". The man again turned to look at the waitress in askance, "Sorry, could you help us know who paid the bill?"

"Sir, the bill was paid by Ms. Li Xue's fiancée"

Li Xue almost choked on the water she was drinking as everyone's eyes once again turned to look at her.
