Novel Full Chapter 607 - What New Mess Was About To Stir?
Chen Rui's lips curled upwards with some thought when she ordered the butler, "Mr. Cao, leave all this for now and just go and check something else for me. I want to know what her schedule would be like after joining back the industry?"
The butler nodded with some understanding, but he didn't miss the mysterious smile of the lady behind. Though no attempt on his side was shown to ask if what that mysteriousness was about, he still requested something else. "Your Highness, are there any orders to look after Ms. Li Xue during her press meet?"
The Queen shook her head. "I don't see any need for that, Mr. Cao. Though I don't know the industry too well where Xiao Xue works, yet from their initiation and confidence in action, I can tell that they have their plans ready to beat the things stirring around now. They are just waiting for the right time to strike". She said, perfectly seeing through the things.
Above that, she believes in her eyes. She has seen hints of her husband's attitude in that girl, which has always made her draw the similarity between them. And if there is even a silver line of resemblance, then in no way would she accept that the girl would be sitting back lazily without having any plans in her thoughts.
Mr. Cao wasn't as confident as the lady, but still, he nodded, accepting the orders before taking his steps away. Shin You Jun no longer dared to say anything more. He has already drawn a note that whenever the things would be about that fake sister of his, he would always remain careful, especially in front of his mother beloved, who has currently become her blind defender.

Elsewhere, in Little Carnation,
The blissful morning's shine seeped into the room where the two adults were sleeping under the blanket, cuddling well in each other's arms.
Li Xue's arms were dearly wrapped around the man's waist, keeping her head all close to his chest where his heart resided in. While Feng Shufen was also hugging her close, holding her all secure and comfortable between his arms. Both of their eased breathing was calming each other, making them drift deeper and deeper into their restful sleep.
But with the morning sun came the early-rising habit of the woman. She stirred lazily in her sleep in an attempt to wake up, nudging her head a little more in the satin fabric of the man's sleepwear. "Umm … the bedsheet is really soft. So comfortable! Sister Margaret is always so considerate in her thoughts while looking for my comfort." She said, rubbing her cheeks more on the soft fabric.
But then suddenly paused when she felt some thumping sound from inside. Her eyes opened first but then widened when she realized what she forgot from the last night. A flush of bashfulness got over her cheeks as she pulled her head a little back to raise it up to look at the man's charming features. She wasn't disappointed with the morning. How could she be with the man by her side?
Pressing her lips to contain her smile back, she carefully untangled her arms to trace her fingers lightly over his sharp jaws at first, slowly reaching to the bobbing ball on his throat. "Didn't you have a far better room here? Then why are you here with me? Shouldn't you be sleeping in your own bed? Huh?" She asked, pouting her lips out. But nothing in her tone sounded as the restriction for the man that was asking him to leave.
"You had something to say to me last night, so I stayed with you, thinking that you might want to discuss it with me in the very first hour of the morning." Out of the blue, the man spoke up, almost leaving Li Xue dumbfounded at the situation. She has taken the man to be sleeping. How come he was all wide awake?
"Aren't you asleep?" she asked, blinking her eyes at him.
Feng Shufen also tilted his head a little to look down at her before shaking his head. "I had a comfortable rest all night. And that's what matters."
Comfortable rest, not sleep! How does that make any sense?
"Mr. Beelzebub, you know it's not a right thing to pretend your sleep." Li Xue said, trying her best to come out as normal as possible. But her flushed cheeks were simply not agreeing to help her out.
Feng Shufen could not control his chuckle at her such adorable act. Not making her go more embarrassed of the situation, he handled it before deviating the topic to something else. "I will keep that in mind from the next time. Now, tell me what were you wanting to tell me last night".
Li Xue was confused at first. Last night, she was asleep when she said all those stuff, so now that the man was asking about the same things, she was unable to remember a single thing at the given instant. "I was about to tell you something? It seemed I had forgotten it now", she said before slightly rubbing her brows, thinking what it would have been.
The man did not say anything. He just stayed there, giving her the time to remember the things well. After some time, the memories got to stuck Li Xue again as she remembered the things she has thought to tell Mr. Beelzebub.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot. It was about the press meet they are organizing with me this afternoon. I have thought to let you know about my things simply. It was nothing too important or serious, just a simple meet-up to discuss some things."
Feng Shufen's eyes flashed with some doubt as he asked, "General meet-up? Is it not about the compensation they are asking from you?"
Li Xue shook her head. She was also doubtful of the things. "Though this feels a little suspicious, yesterday night, Sister Xinyi has called to tell me that they have decreased the compensation amount greatly all of a sudden. They say that their company no longer wanted to claim any sum, just they want to officially discuss my name's cancellation from under their company's banner. I don't know what is going in Zheng Wenting's head now?" She said, trying to find what new mess was about to stir.
