Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

"Hello, Yujian! Did you already complete your work at the pantry? I have to ask you for help if only you are willing to give us a helping hand" Li Xue said on the call. Though she wanted to roll her eyes on her own words, this was still the only way left for her. One should always know when to bend and how much to bend.

If your crouching a little is the only way left to bring you what you want, then it's better not to be neglected just to take care of your stiff and arrogant ego. But at the same time, if bending in front of someone means to forsake or lower your own dignity then it will only be right to protect your integrity first.

And Li Xue has known this from the very first day she has come to know this world.

On the other side of the call, Yujian smirked with her best smug smile of his. "Does our best Head Chef putting a request in front of me? Oh is she finally accepting me as a capable one in the team?" He sprouted his words out in a way that it instantly irked Li Xue to her core.

She wanted to lash out at him but restrained herself knowing that it was not the best thing to do at this moment. Pressing her lips together, she pulled it to present a smile to herself as she said, "It's okay, Yujian! You don't have to force yourself if you don't want to do it. That was not a request, I was just asking if you could give us a helping hand. If you don't want to help, then it's pretty fine too. I have other sources of help. Never mind!"

Li Xue said and Chen Yujian's smirk deepened on the other side. Did she really think that she could fool him? He knew what plight they had caught themselves into and also that at this moment none but only he could come to their help.

So knowing all scenarios very well, he chuckled and said, "Oh our Head Chef Li is so considerate to us. Thank you for understanding my mood. I would really appreciate it if you can go for the other sources of help".

'This time Head Chef Li, I would make you accept that I am the best teammate you can ever get. You will be forced to praise me', he thought internally, all joyous about his own plans.

Li Xue on the other side could only grit her teeth and stomp her feet hard on the floor. This boy was really making plans to play against her. Fine, then let's start the round again. Let's see who can cope with it till the end. She determined internally as a devious smile got over her lips.

It was the same smile about which her Little princess has always warned the people around! If she would have been here, then she would have let her Sweet Brother Yujian know that nothing good was coming to his way because her Mama's devil mode was on!

"Fine Yujian, if that's your decision then I can't force you too much. Enjoy your time and after completing your work at the pantry, come and attend your work here. The rest will be managed by us. I will disconnect the call then", she said and Chen Yujian was all baffled on the other side.

What does this mean? Did he think that things would turn this way? Nope, he has not. Then what was this woman planning up next? Something was not right in her tone. He could feel it too.

After a second, Li Xue was about to disconnect the call when suddenly the man halted her from doing so, "My dear, Xena! What viciousness are you planning now?"

"Vicious plan? What are you talking about? I literally have no idea about it?" Playing innocence was not a tough turf for her to invade.

Chen Yujian's lips pulled into a more straight line. Now he was sure that nothing good was coming at the end. "Xena, how can I call you vicious when the whole kingdom knows that the Devil can only fall in the love trap of a sweet and innocent angel. You are definitely not the vicious one. But you know curiosity often gets the best of us, the kids. So please tell me what other sources of help, do you have in your basket?"

"Umm …", Li Xue smiled showing some pretence of reluctance but in the end agreed to tell him her plans. "Of course I can tell you since you are one of my team. An intern who has come to learn from their superior. I was just planning to get some help from the Big Boss, President Feng. Because removing you from the picture, now I only had him in my helping list. Furthermore, this Sweet Delicacy, can't be just our responsibility. Being the Big Boss, he is too liable to offer help."

Chen Yujian almost puked blood out. Did she really mention that she was going to ask help from the Devil? Won't that mean he will be buried in his grave at the end? This woman was really vicious! Which fairy tale vouches that Devil could only fall for an angel?

Here the Devil has clearly fallen for a woman of her own kind! Not only their charms and aura could complement each other but also their vicious and deadly ways to KO their enemies are the same.

Huffing a scared breath out, he said suppressing all his reluctance, "My dear Xena, I don't think we should give such small trouble to Uncle. I am here to help you. My work at the pantry is almost completed, I will head to Chef's library straight forward. There won't be a problem in searching the recipe".

"Are you sure Yujian? You don't have to force yourself, you know" Li Xue said. Her lips curled to give a victorious smile.

"Yes! Of course, I can't be more sure than this" his voice coming through gritted teeth.

Li Xue nodded and then said, "Fine, all the best then. I will be waiting for your call". Saying that she disconnected the line, oblivious to the two pair of eyes staring at her. One was glinting evilness while the other was holding a gleam of amusement and admiration in it.
