Zheng Wenting wanted to look more of the man inside the car but just when he thought to catch a glimpse of him, all his attention was shaken off by the little girl's announcement.
"I have come to get my Mama. And I am not alone".
His eyes turned to look at her with raised brows of askance. His gesture was simple and understandable. He wanted the little girl to continue his words but when comes the trait of stubbornness, the little body was no less than her mother. And now pampered and trained by her Daddy Angel, she was more fatal.
Blinking her eyes in her best innocence, she blatantly shrugged off the command put forward on her.
Seeing her like this even Li Xue was taken aback. This girl … this was definitely not her teaching. Not like Li Xue has ever forced her daughter to answer anyone against her will but she has still taught her to remain warm and comforting to the people around.
No, this was not the right thing for her daughter. She needs to let her know that. But this was neither the right place nor the right time to make her understand.
Children should always be taught in a way that does not disturb their morale and self – respect and Li Xue knew well about it. Noting the thought in her head, she decided to find a good time to make her princess understand. And above that, at this moment she already had a typhoon waiting for her. It would only be better to take a thing at a time.
Li Xue's eyes went to look in the direction of the Maybach, from where she knew that Devil's eyes were watching her. Though she knew that he would never be mad at her, still she does not feel good seeing him upset because of her.
"Sweetie, I am really surprised to see you. But it's not good to make someone wait. Let's go", Li Xue said, suddenly getting impatient on her shoes. For some reason, she was dying to get near Mr Beelzebub soon.
The little girl's head instantly gave a nod to her mother's words. Of course, time with her Mama and Daddy Angel together has always been her favourite. She would never want to lessen it unless and until the reason involved is something important.
Both mother and daughter smiled at each other as they turned around to walk back to the car, where her Mr Beelzebub and Daddy Angel was waiting for them.
Zheng Wenting was stunned seeing Li Xue's sudden change in attitude. Without any question, his eyes had caught the desperation in her eyes when she looked at the car at a little distance. His fist got clenched at the realization of the reason for her desperation, but something inside was forbidding him to believe that. Maybe his stiff and strict 'ego'!
"Li Xue, our talk is not over yet. We were still discussing something. You will go just like that?" he said gritting his teeth.
"Did I ever say that I was ready to discuss anything with you CEO Zheng? I have already made it clear to you before that your Sying's useless efforts have nothing to do with me as she has done nothing that I can't do for myself. And about the arrangement that you have personally arranged for me, for the sake of your girlfriend …", she paused as she turned her head slightly to throw a smirk at the man.
"It would be better to help her with it. Last day, Yi Lan said that she was seen selling herself in the club to get back her place in the industry". she added on. Though Li Xue had just shot an arrow in darkness, she knew that it was bound to hit the bullseye.
"Li Xue!" he was about to yell but the flash of Li Xue's stern amber eyes reined it in an instant. It was then he realized that her eyes still held the same power it has held back then when she was the uncrowned Queen of the industry.
"Last time too, I had warned you to maintain yourself when you are anywhere near my daughter. This time too, I am giving you the warning. The third time, I don't think I will be this forgiving", Li Xue said. Her blazing eyes, burning his confidence of dominance in its sweet time.
Giving him a warning look, she turned again and took her steps away but suddenly her eyes caught something and she halted. Without turning, she said, "I am pretty sure that your car would need a little servicing today. The damage is not too much, but if you still care for some minimal cents then we can do that discussion here".
As she completed her words, she waited there as if waiting to hear him accept her idea but when she did not receive any response, she took it as his denial. She was about to resume her steps when suddenly felt a light tug from her daughter.
Looking at her baby, she raised her brows slightly in askance of the reason. And the little piece instantly replied, "Mama, we have to make it fast. Daddy Angel is waiting for us inside the car. It's not good to make him wait, right? He even said that today he will cook dinner for us. So please, let's go fast". The cheerfulness was dripping down her words while her voice was all audible to ears.
Li Xue looked at her princess. Seeing her dancing around for her Daddy Angel was nothing new to her but her words did shock someone standing at the back.
Daddy Angel?
Zheng Wenting was all sure that he had heard the words all right. He has also known that Li Xue had a boyfriend in her life after she returned back to the city since he has heard her confirming back in the reunion gathering, but still, he could not bring himself to accept those two words out from the little girl's lips.
Does that mean that Li Xue has already married someone? Or else why would any man let a little girl call him as her father?
His eyes suddenly went to look back at the car to find his answer but …
Out of desperation, he let out a declaration about which he, himself, was not sure of anymore, "Li Xue, no one will be able to help you in the industry if you let go of my offer today".
