Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Though Shen Bingling has not confirmed anything, Li Xue still felt very positive about the things. After all, her plans couldn't go fail. And as far as she has read about Shen Donghai; he is a businessman who knows his profits and losses really well. In no way would he be giving away the chances of benefit in the chaos of the business.

"Madam, do we have to return to the forest house now?" Du Fan asked once he saw that matter at the restaurant was over. Though the lady was recovering from her wound, he still didn't forget that rest was important for a better recovery.

Li Xue turned to look at him and paused for a moment, but then shook her head. "Nope, there is still time and I would get bored at home. Bring me to the company first. I would look around." She said and her plans like that stunned Du Fan for some reason.

But still, he nodded. "Okay, Madam. I will let Secretary Gao know about your arrival." He said before going forward to open the door for the lady.

Li Xue nodded to him before getting inside the car. "By the way Mr. Driver, you should be thankful to the heavens now. Luckily, the princess was obsessed with Prince Su, otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to save you for Xiao Meng if she would have fallen for you." She said and at her words like that Du Fan's ears turned red.

He didn't know what to say so in the end, downing his head in embarrassment, he only worded out a "Thank you!" which made Li Xue flutter out a peal of soft laughter.

"Mr. Driver, do you know you are so cute that earlier when you said that savage line in favor of me, I wasn't able to believe that it was you. Anyway, thank you for that." She said and exchanged a few more words with Du Fan as he maneuvered the car in the direction of Feng Internationals.

Soon the car reached the company premises, getting parked in the parking lot. Li Xue saw out the window, only to find Gao Fan standing at a distance, waiting for someone.

Wait! Was he waiting for her?

Gao Fan made his way towards their car, before reaching out to open the door for her. "Madam, you are here? I was waiting to receive you."

Li Xue stared up at the secretary as her brows quirked up at him with some puzzlement to ask, "Waiting for me? Mr. Secretary, you didn't have to bother like this actually. From the last time I have remembered the way to Mr. Beelzebub's office."

Goa Fan didn't show any expression to her said words, but keeping his best polite composure, he reasoned, "Madam, we wouldn't dare to let the last incident repeat again as it would have implicated your work and position wrongly. So, President Feng has personally sent me down to escort you safely upstairs." He said and it was then Li Xue understood that last time, she has just not learned her way to Feng Shufen's office but had also encountered crazy media reporters on her way.

Scratching lightly at the corners of her brows, she felt embarrassed, "Ahh, I almost forgot that. It must have been tough for you guys to settle it later. I am sorry for causing such trouble last time." She said but saw the man just shaking his head in denial.

"Nope, Madam, it wasn't actually tough as we didn't have to do much in it as for media things like that, we have another department of people to handle it. It was just that the last time when it happened, a few journalists have to lose their jobs and that scared the rest of them from doing anything reckless." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ɴovel(F)ɪre - novelenglish.net . bin

Li Xue didn't understand his words quite well, so she asked, "Lose their jobs?"

Gao Fan nodded, before gesturing her inside the personal elevator to continue, "Yes, Madam. "The journalists who came forward to scare you were dismissed from their jobs." He said and Li Xue was all stunned. She never knew that such things had happened.

Hasn't the man said that things were easy to tackle at that time. And nothing was there to worry about, then why did she only now understand that she was kept away from the knowledge of a typhoon that occurred back then?

"Oh!" She said a bit perplexed about the things.

Gao Fan looked at the display of the elevator and just when it was about to reach another floor, he turned to look at Li Xue to say, "Madam, I have a small thing to see on the floor, you can either wait for me here or you can go first on the floor upstairs." He said and seeing the urgency on his face, Li Xue understood.

Shaking her head to him, she agreed. "It's okay Mr. Secretary. You can go on with your work. I will go to his office on my own. Please, carry on!"

She said and just as she completed, the door of the elevator dinged open. Ga Fan would have made his way out on the floor, but before he could make any such attempt, his eyes turned cold at the sight of the crowd of people on the floor.

Li Xue was also taken aback. She hadn't expected it. But what was the crowd about?

Before she could understand any of it, Gao Fan came to stand in front of her, covering her from the sight of the people.

Li Xue understood the cue and immediately her hand went to fidget into her bag to get out her face mask to cover. Putting it on, she asked, "Mr. Secretary, this …?"

"Don't worry, Madam. I will handle it. They might have just come here in overexcitement." Gao Fan whispered gently so that only Li Xue could hear him before looking back at the people to glare. "What's happening here? Is this a common floor where anyone of you can come like this?"

"Secretary Gao, we were just …"

"Step aside if you are not ready to face the consequences later." Before the person could complete his words, Gao Fan interrupted with a tone of authority that silenced every whisper around.

Li Xue could no longer see the faces of the people standing out, but hearing the meek whisper like that coming, she could already sense that they were all scared of the man standing in front of her.. No doubt, he was the Secretary of the Devil.
