Novel Full Chapter 476 - Obedient Wife.
"You can order anything you want", Zheng Wenting said as he gestured to the waiteress to take the order from the lady sitting across him. His eyes not leaving the woman even a bit of second.
"A glass of water, please," Li Xue said, giving a soft smile to the waitress that meant no harm. She was in no mood to sit here and entertain the man with his unexpected lunch date.
The brows of the waitress scrunched a little in confusion. Her eyes went to look at the man to double-check the order as not all the time, people come to such a lavish restaurant to order just a glass of water.
Zheng Wenting looked at the woman for an instant before saying, "Bring us a glass of water first, we will order other dishes a little while later". The waitress nodded before understanding the order and then left.
"You would have ordered something good. They provide all your favourite dishes. You would have liked the taste." The man said leaning a little closer to the table with a smile of expectation on his face.
But the woman was not considerate to think about his hope and expectation. Curling her lips slightly into a smirk, she snapped at him with a question, "I never knew CEO Zheng had time to notice my favourites. So, tell me what my favourite dishes are? Or leave it, order my favourite dishes for me and I will have it all. I promise."
Zheng Wenting's expressions instantly stiffened. His smile wavered as his eyes looked at the woman wordlessly.
Looking at him that way, Li Xue could not suppress her laughter from erupting. Giving a soft peal of flutter out, she mocked, "Why? What happened, CEO Zheng? Is it that tough to tell? Don't you remember your ex-girlfriend's choices? Or have you never got any time to notice it?"
The man's brows instantly jutted together. Getting all serious with his tone he said, bringing all of his sincerity out, "I know Li Xue in the past, I wasn't able to cherish you, but give me a chance and I will prove to you that I am not that bad. Give me one more chance to cherish you".
Squinting her eyes, the woman did not wait for any of his further words. "Who are you to cherish me, CEO Zheng? I don't see any of our strings entangled to give you that right. And what is with your words? Are you even hearing what they are sounding like? I know we are alone but don't forget you have a girlfriend still waiting for you", she said, chuckling with disbelief.
Those words had really stunned Li Xue. She doesn't understand how can the man be like this all the time? Was caring and being loyal to his girlfriend not in his character? For some reasons now, she truly pities Wen Sying. Did anyone also pity her when she was with him?
Her lips pressed when thought about it. 'Even if someone did pity her then that was past, Li Xue. You have gotten over the past for good. Now the man you have by side will not make anyone pity you, rather will make them go crazy in envy. Hmph! Not in the past but you have got the world's best luck in the present', she boasted herself internally.
Then looking back at the man, she suppressed her laughter a little and for once she really envied Wenting's luck. Only if there had been Mr Beelzebub around then he might not be still here. She still has in her memories how effortlessly her man was skilled in KO'ing his rivals.
"Li Xue, that's not what I meant. Why do you always have to take things in the wrong way? I was just here to ask you a chance and I am sure Sying never had any problem with you. It has been you to think all that". Zhen Wenting said. Before planning to come and meet her, he has decided to keep his attitude all liberal, but with her attitude, he was simply not able to help it any longer.
The woman looked at him for a second, then shrugging the frustration off her shoulders, she said, lightly massaging her head to reduce the headache she was feeling with him, "Let's not waste the time. There is no chance left for you in my scenario. For now, just say what you wanted to say to me. I am not sure of you, but I still have a home to return and I am already getting late"
She said, pulling her wrist up to look at her watch. It was already evening and her Mr Beelzebub might soon complete his work to return home. She has planned to get home soon and cook something for dinner by herself. It has been days since she last cooked and in recent days she has seen her man likes to eat more properly when the dishes are out of her cooking.
Zheng Wenting looked at her impatience and could only grit his teeth. His thought continuously drifted to think of the things she must have planned after getting home. Was it that hard to stay with him here?
His eyes darted to look at her movements as she pulled out her phone to send a voice note to someone on the list.
"Mr Beelzebub, I will get a little late." Li Xue said all softly, much different to the tone she was using with Wenting all this time. After finishing the voice note, she was about to keep her phone away. But just then her phone beeped back with a response.
Of course, she knew the man was always the quickest one to reply back. Getting her phone back to look, her lips curled to smile as she read in mind.
'Okay, don't rush. I am still in a meeting but will get home soon. On your return, I will keep the dinner prepared for you'.
And that message was enough to make the woman speechless.
This man was truly someone out of the world. Can for once he can't be this sweet? His word might get her diabetes. If it had been someone other than him then in response to the message, he would have asked where was she and what was making her late? But here this man was behaving like a sweet obedient wife to her. Ready to prepare her favourite dinner on her return, without asking her anything.
Bringing the phone back to her lips, she said softly, "Mr Beelzebub, you better not go this sweet to other girls. I might murder them all to enjoy you all for myself and as for the dinner, don't burden yourself. I want to cook it myself.". And the voice note was sent.
All this while when she was busy with her phone., she did not realize the angry eyes shot at her. Not like she cared about it. She only realized it when suddenly, she heard the man say, "Li Xue, is it because of that man you are being so rude and indifferent to me? Are you scared of him?"
