Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 74 - Dessert dishes are for Ms. Li Xue.

No matter how much or how many times some people get humiliated, they just can't change. It's rightly said that the nature and signature of a person can never change. When she heard her words, Li Xue lifted her head up and looked at her.

Her gaze looked very plain as if she had lost all her courage and exuberance.? Looking at her like this, the woman sitting around the table was really pleased. They thought that at the end of the day they have won the battle and have intimidated her.

They felt their confidence rise, an expression of smug started getting on their faces. Taking this as a boost, someone else in the group said, "Sigh! one's look is really a waste if she has not got luck by her side. Look at her, she was once the best beauty of this country but now no good man will look at her. Her life is ruined. Whereas our Sying is so lucky both in her career and boyfriend. I can bet that no one here can get a boyfriend as handsome and rich as our Sying has got"

"That's enough. Don't be so ridiculous. Why are you comparing Li Xue to me?" a soft fragile voice resounded in the room.

Everyone turned to look at the entrance and it was none other than Wen Sying. There she was not alone but her arms were hooked around the man whose eyes had got locked at a particular woman in the room.

Zheng Wenting has just come to show his face at the small get together party thrown by his girlfriend. He had not expected to find Li Xue present there too. Looking at her, he felt his heart still skipping beats for her. She has not changed even a bit in all these years. She was still a woman who could make any man go on their knees for her. The most capable eye charmer amidst the crowd.

"Ah Sying, we did not know that CEO Zheng will be joining us too". They were all surprised to look at Zheng Wenting accompanying her.

"Don't change the topic Maomao. I never thought that you would be so mean towards someone. Why are you looking down on Li Xue? She is my friend and has come here on my invitation and you all are trying to be mean to her. What will Wenting think of you all … about me having friends like you?" She said as she tilted her eyes to look at the man who was calmly standing beside her.

When she noticed his longing gaze at Li Xue, a wave of jealousy crossed her eyes. Even after so many years, this man was still having feelings for her! Though she knew that those feelings had gotten suppressed and would never rebel on the surface again, she still can't help but feel envious. Why was she still lacking in comparison to her?

"Wenting, don't take me wrong. My friends are not usually like this. They might have misperceived the things. I will explain to them later", she said as she tugged lightly on his arms. Her eyes became a little teary.

Zheng Wenting was snapped back when he felt the tug, but he had missed to listen to all the words that had happened on the scene. His vision got all blurred when his eyes fell on Li Xue. It felt like nothing mattered around him but she does.

Now looking at Sying he felt guilty. It was not right for him to have feelings for other women when he already had someone by his side. He shrugged off all the feelings from his mind that he had felt the moment before and then lifted his hand up to cup her cheeks. "What are you crying at? There is no chance in which I would take you in the wrong way. I know you better than anyone else, so you don't have to explain"

He said and gently wiped off the unshed tears from her eyes. Li Xue?when heard?the man's words, she rolled her eyes. Don't have to explain! Fabulous … just fabulous! She still remembers when she went to him to explain herself after the scandal, how he treated her? She has almost begged him to believe her but this man was the one who did not care to show even a 0.00001% of trust on her. And now he was promising such unbreakable trust for someone else.

Such a hypocrite!

Wen Sying felt happy. She smiled and then grabbing his arms, she turned to look at everyone. Her eyes asked everyone to make a quick apology.

Everyone around felt a little guilty. They have not intended to bring any bad to their friend rather they just wanted to humiliate Li Xue. But the things got turned on its own, putting them on the bad side of Zheng Wenting.

Zhengs were one of the wealthy families in the country Chiboa, so without thinking much they quickly explained, "We are really sorry, CEO Zheng. We were not looking down on anyone, we just admire you a lot, to an extent where we think no one can be better than you"

Zhen Wenting smiled at their flattery words and then again turned to look at Li Xue. She has not cared to stand up to give any friendly greeting, neither has turned to look at him once, she has just concentrated all her attention to the food on her plate like it was the only thing that was important for her.

"Fine … Fine, I understand that. Don't bother with my presence, I just came here for Sying. This lunch is on me, so enjoy your fullest", he said as he gestured to everyone to take their seats, then accompanying Wen Sying, he too went to take his seat.

Foods have already been served, few more dishes were added. All the time they were dining, the man tried his level best to not look at Li Xue and focus all his attention on his girlfriend but that has not been an easy task. Every now and then his eyes would move on its own to look at her but to his dismay, she has not even once turned to look at him.

Soon the lunch arrived at an end, desserts got served and to everyone's surprise it was something that was yet to be ordered. Every eye turned to look at each other in question but nobody has got any answer.

Seeing everyone's confused faces, Zheng Wenting asked "What happened? Is there something wrong?"

"Umm Wenting we doubt that we have yet to order our desserts. These sweet desserts are something we have not ordered", Wen Sying said looking at the beautiful expensive dishes that were being served one after the other.

Every one nodded to her words. This was serious, they have not ordered anything especially something this expensive. Since previously they did not know that the bill of lunch would be getting paid by Zheng Wenting, they have particularly kept everything in the budget of their wallet.? But now looking at the dishes they were all literally shocked.

Li Xue too looked at the dishes and was shocked. These dishes looked a little familiar. She was still in her thoughts when suddenly heard the waitress say, "These desserts dishes are for Ms. Li Xue"

Then only she realized why the dishes looked familiar. It was because they were the dessert dishes from the restaurants of Feng Internationals, not every restaurant can produce that.
