Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

"Where were you, Mr Beelzebub? You know you have already spoiled this little devil to an extent where without hearing your talks at nights, she doesn't get the sleep" Li Xue said when felt the man's presence behind her while she tucked her little girl inside the blanket.

Once made sure that her daughter was all comfortable under the blanket, she turned around to look at the man. "What? Don't look at me like that. I am not lying. I have to read this special diary of yours to make her go to sleep. Even in all previous days when we were not here, Sister Margaret has done the same. She has read your book to her to make her go to sleep. I don't know why she likes these boring business stories this much when I have never been interested in these types of case studies".

"Because she has taken her habits after me", Feng Shufen nonchalantly replied, making Li Xue's brows wrinkle a little but then added, "I am her father. It will only be better if she is more and more like me".

"Of course, that answers me why she gets this boring some time. It must be because she has gone after your character". The woman punned with a plain smile on her lips. Though she has pretended to have a nonchalance at his words, internally she was wishing for his words to come true. But she knew there couldn't be any chances for that to become a reality. Only if it was him, then there would have been no regrets in her life.

Feng Shufen looked at her getting lost in her thoughts, so quickly brought her out of her trance. "Here? Take a look at this. If the clauses seemed to be well written as per your preferences, then put your signature down. I will process it for further processing". He said, extending a file to her.

Li Xue moved her eyes from the man to look at the file. Then taking the file in her hand she flipped the pages one after the other. The more she read, the more astounded she felt at the man's brain. Exactly how did his brain work to come up with such stupefying ideas. He was truly a businessman both by brain and passion.

"So, are you sure with this idea, Mr Beelzebub? Don't you fear that you will lose loads of money after me if I sign this contract?" she asked, flipping the last page of the file to shut it. "I mean you are ready to pay me double of my pay without asking me to do much for the shop. So, won't that be a loss for you and also for your business".

With the newly amended contract, Li Xue's work profile was changed in the Sweet Delicacy. Though she would still be the Head Dessert Chef of the shop, her work will be more focused to appease the ultimate higher up of the brand with her dessert cuisines. In short, after signing the contract she would be more focused on serving Feng Shufen than any other. 

Feng Shufen kept his eyes at her as he said, "Do you really think that it's that easy to appease me, the President of Feng Internationals? You might not be able to make it the way I want".

The woman's eyes shone devilishly at his words. Tugging her lips up on one side, she looked at the man before taking her steps close to him. Once she was close enough, under the scrutinizing gaze of him, she answered, "For me, appeasing you is the simplest. Want to see how?" She challenged.

And the next moment, she tip-toed to reach his height before pecking his cheek all with passion. It stunned the man for a second as his fist clenched at his side but soon, he got back into his composure.

This woman was truly getting bold? Was she that confident in his self – control? Or was she deliberately teasing his nerves?

"Am I not right, Mr Beelzebub? Did I not appease you just now?" Li Xue asked, blinking her eyes all innocently at the man, clearly teasing him.

The man could only sigh internally and nod to her words in agreement. "Yes, you were great and very precise in your work."

"Of course, I need to be, after all, I have to give my efforts to serve and appease the Big Boss. I cannot lag behind in any way, especially when I am getting so highly paid for this". She said taking a pause then repeated her previous question again. "So, what do you say? Won't you be at a loss if I sign these papers?"

Without showing any hesitation or giving any second thoughts the man simply said, "I don't see any loss coming. The husband or wife's money is left pocket and right pocket issues. So, I am feeling no issues. Furthermore, aren't the incentives coming with the contract quite satisfying for me to forget all the losses" He concluded his words, rubbing his cheeks lightly.

On his words, Li Xue was instantly flustered. Though she was the one who started it, still when it came to the man getting on the teasing zone, her heart was just not capable enough to take it. Which man says that? Husband and wife's money were the issues of right and left pocket? How come she has never seen any man saying that in reality? Even she has never seen her father saying that to her mother. But this man … she needs to find out if Mr Beelzebub was truly a human or have trans migrated out from some romantic webtoon.

On the other side, at some restaurant.

Amid some severe darkness, a woman was sitting at the table. Her face was perfectly scarfed so that it doesn't come visible to anyone's eyes in any easy way. But with her slightly shaking stature one can say that she was very nervous about something. Her eyes were showing impatience while waiting for someone.

"Ms Zhen, our boss is waiting for you inside. Now you can come along with us" Suddenly a man came to greet her suspiciously and the woman let out a breath of relief.

"Finally, he has got the time to meet me. Why wasn't he this arrogant 5 years ago?" she said before quickly getting up from her chair to leave.
