Chapter 539 - Coveting Devil's Kalon? Not a chance.

Li Xue's eyes became all blistering fierce when it caught the raising hands of the woman on herself.

Was she looking so demure to Ning Meiling to think that it was easy to assault her? Not a chance.

With on swift motion, the hands were half held in the air, inflicting a sear pain to the frail wrist that ever thought to take the courage to hit Li Xue. She was not a damsel in distress to take all the pains coming her way helplessly and wait till her knight in shining armour appears to save her. She, herself, was more than capable enough to take the charge and declare the war against her enemies and then win it on her merits.

Her eyes smiled along with the curl of her lips giving some tinge of sadism when saw the pale growing face of the woman. Who said that it wasn't fun seeing people in pain? Definitely, it was the best fun act to torture the ones who dreamt of torture you. It can tend to serve as the best heart easer capsules in scenarios. The same was happening to Li Xue.

That scared distraught face of Ning Meiling was doing wonders to her heart. Seeing her in pain, she was feeling much better. Though from the middle of the woman's dirt talks, she was able to take out the positive praises for herself. But just by taking out goods from the bad doesn't abolish the bad from its existence. It still remains somewhere at the corners, making you realize that they were just being ignored, not eliminated.

"W – Why are you bringing Wen Sying into this? She has nothing to do with all this? And now let go of my hand. Or are you trying to break my hands?" Ning Meiling stuttered out, clearly agonizing in pain. Her eyes looking at her wrist helplessly then accusingly gazing at the woman responsible at the front.

Li Xue also looked at her. Her eyes into her eyes. Though there was a smile playing over her lips, there was no warmth of casualness in that smile, rather except for her blazing eyes everything looks all cold and frigid. "I never said that Wen Sying has something to do with it. I just asked you if she hasn't informed you about me? After all, Chef Ning has suddenly gotten such a deep friendship with her. Being known by both of you, I must have become a mutual topic between you two, some time or the other."

Li Xue said out with slight laughter, but except the warning, nothing else came audible out from it.

"W – why would you become a mutual topic between us. I … we … we were …" The more Ning Meiling tried to come out better, the more she stumbled on her words, making it go worse than before.

Li Xue could not control herself from giving out a deep laugh at her situation. While the iciness of her expressions broke along with her melodic laughter. Her easiness came back. The grip around the woman's wrist also loosened as she said with a flutter. "Nevermind, Chef Ning. I won't concern myself asking your mutual topic of conversation with your friend, after all, I don't hold that position".

Ning Meiling was dazed both at her nonchalant words and sudden change in attitude. To her, it seemed like she had just crossed one realm to come into a different one, and the woman standing in front of her was no longer the same, she had been seeing before. She remained silent as her eyes dumbfoundedly looked at her and ears perked at her words, all in concentration.

"What I would like you to know is that never ever dare to lift that hand of yours at me. I am not someone to take offences, especially something like these violent types. So better think twice before lifting it, I might not go easy on you next time as today". Li Xue said, stressing her brows firmly at her words. She paused for some time, the same as a good lecturer who always waits for his students to take an understanding his words first before leaving the class.

"Now that every word between us is settled for today, Chef Ning; I would like to bid my goodbye to you," She said, turning back in her direction to leave. But right before she could take any step further ahead, she heard the woman declare from behind.

"Our words are not yet settled, Chef Li" Ning Meiling started again, looking at the back of the woman who was walking away. No matter how much she denies, but after the type of encounter she had with her today, she has got sure that to dominate Li Xue, she would need to be both good at words and also good at fooling others.

"Yes, I did weave a web of stories with President Feng, but that definitely couldn't make me become the same as you. Because what I am doing is out of love not for some benefits. I have fallen for the President on the very first day itself. And now what I am doing are just my efforts to get him in my life. I am not like you doing the shady thing that is immoral for the integrity of the woman" She said more and it only made Li Xue ball up her fist, in front.

Her lips pressed at her words at first but then she turned around to give her last strike. A smile of pity playing on her lips, clearly mocking the woman in all blatant manner.

"I never knew that Chef Ning had fallen for President Feng and all her web of lies was only her efforts to get him all close. Sigh, such a great misunderstanding I got. Tsk … tsk" She tsked softly with some disappointment but then leaning a little closer to the woman, she added a question to ask, "But let me ask you something, Chef Ning. If it was just solely for love, then why did you use such stories to make people get wrong assumptions about you. I have heard quite a number of deals you have cracked, tagging President Feng's name with your own".

Ning Meiling was at once taken aback. Her complexion got worse, while her eyes horridly looked at the woman. She has always made sure to now let the words of her ways slip out. Then how come Li Xue has come to know all about it?

Li Xue smiled looking at her like that. She pulled back a little before straightening back in her stature. She has just shot an arrow in darkness and it hit the bullseyes, all perfectly. Though she had an idea of it, she was not sure. But now with the woman's expressions and trembling stature, she didn't need to get any more sure about it. Everything was just crystal clear.

"Don't you feel Chef Ning, if President Feng came to really know about this, he will just not only sue you to the court to ruin every cent you taken feloniously but would also never want to see you again? Then what will happen to your love for him? It will never get fulfilled instead you will be thrown far away". She added, making the situation worse for the woman to think rationally.

Coveting Kalon's Devil? Not a chance. He was all hers and in no way, she would let anyone else have thought of him.
