Chapter 455 - Which big company has you got to back you up?

While on the other side, after finishing the bath Li Xue was busy selecting a comfy casual outfit for the day. Getting one in her hand, she soon changed and went to the dressing mirror to complete the rest of her routine.

After leaving the fashion industry, she has almost neglected her daily regime of skincare routine to forget her past but now since she has decided to fight back, she has resumed things again. Though not much was needed to her flawless skin, still her steps of getting ready to have increased even with the minimal steps.

Suddenly she heard her phone ringing on the side. Almost guessing who could be at the call, she received it, "Hello, CEO Su! You are calling this menial model so early in the morning, there must be something important"

"Li Xue, don't show such easiness when I know you are nowhere having ease in your heart. Why are you not letting us proceed with the things? You know delaying will only cause adverse effects and will let our rivals think that they are winning the game with the upper hand" Su Fai retorted from the other side. From his voice, Li Xue could easily feel how tired he would have been in the last few days.

Her lips curled up with a slight smile of apology before saying, "I am sure that you would definitely make a good CEO and supporter of all your pin-ups, Su Fai", She said and instantly heard the man sigh.

"Li Xue! You…"

"Su Fai, I need a few days. Don't take any actions at the moment. If they want to think that they are getting the upper hand then let them think. Their bubble would be for a few days until we retaliate. Let them ease now, they will pay after" Li Xue said, her eyes holding some mysterious glint.

The man also felt something mysterious in her words but could not be sure of it. To confirm his thoughts, he asked, "Do you have some plans, Li Xue? Why am I feeling that at this moment your lips are curling to give your long famous sharp, cunning smile on your face".

At his words, the woman only let out a small chuckle and said, "Did I look that cunning in the past? Haha … if yes, then expect me to be dangerous this time. For today I will take a rest, from tomorrow, I have things to focus on. Give me some days and I will let you know the things soon".

Su Fai could only pull his hands up in surrender, "Fine, I don't see any reason to stop you then. But still would only suggest doing the things sensibly. Don't risk the things, we can still handle the things without losing anything". 

"Whoa! Really? I never knew that the digits in thousands of millions have not been an issue for the Glamour World. Which big company has you got to back your agency like that?" Li Xue asked with a giggle. She has read the lawsuit papers carefully and has also known the compensation that has been demanded from her. There is no way she would let anyone falsely take the compensation on her stance.

"You don't have to worry about that. Management of the company should not be a concern to the models. Let me handle that. Just keep in mind you are the asset for us that will make us shine along with you. So, any investment on you is not a loss for us but a long term investment". Su Fai concluded and Li Xue could only nod her head on her side. 

"Fine, then after my comeback, I would make sure to bring a hefty amount of profits to the company. Don't worry!" The woman said with some confidence that it was definitely promising something on which Su Fai could depend on. Though everything looked at peace on the surface, still in the air brewing of a blazing storm could be felt behind.

Clearing some things between, the call was disconnected while Li Xue walked to look at herself in the mirror. The marks on her neck were still evident. Pouting a little at those marks, she sighed. "Could anything be more heartbreaking?" She asked looking at her mirror image then shook her head replying to her own question. "Definitely not! I am doomed to take this heartbreak for my whole life. That was my first romantic night with my crazily handsome Mr Beelzebub and I dared to forget the details. How could I?"

She chided herself again looking at the mirror. But just then she heard the voice from behind. "What details have you forgotten?"

Li Xue's head instantly snapped to look behind. "When did you come inside the closet?" She asked in a panicked voice, looking at the leaning figure of the man at the door.

"Just when you were regretting not remembering some details," Feng Shufen said as he came further inside, closing the door of the closet behind.

Li Xue did not mind him as she turned back at the mirror to apply some moisturizing lotion, "It's nothing. I was just thinking of some work-related things at Sweet Delicacy. I need to manage the things well on both ends" She said, before patting her skin for absorption. Then taking a tube of concealer from the side, she was about to apply her neck to hide the marks when the man stopped her hands in the middle.

Her eyes stared at the mirror to look at him and raised her brows of confusion at his actions. And the man simply replied, "Don't apply those. It will only worsen the marks." He said and then pulled out a small glass bottle from his pocket and said, "Here, I have brought this for you. Come, I will help you apply" He said, nonchalantly eyeing the marks on her neck then pulling her up to take her to the near couch.

Li Xue did not resist but followed him along. But just when he was about to take some oil out in his palm to apply lightly on her skin, he heard her mutter out in a slightly aggravated tone, "Hmph! Who needs your care now? It's because of you. Why didn't you control it before?"

Feng Shufen's movement halted as he looked at her with some doubt in his eyes.
