Chapter 785 - To Change All Her Odds Into Evens.
Not fit for this place? Heh! Right now, nothing in this house looks at the place. What exactly happened in the early hours of the morning that she didn't know?
Li Xue was utterly confused. Her jaws dropped, as she slightly moved her lips to say something but with such a muddle in her head at the moment, she could not come up with any word.
Staying rooted at her place for a moment, her eyes stared at Feng Shufen, waiting for more words of explanation, but moments passed by and nothing came extra. Instead, she saw him rising from the sofa.
"The breakfast is served. Let's go and have it first. You said you will be leaving early today". He said and Li Xue could only point her fingers of accusation at him.
"You …"
But before she could continue her words, the man was already on his way to the dining area, holding WeiWei's hand into his.
Behind them, Li Xue had no choice but to follow them. Because in actuality, she needed to reach the Aurora Fashion House early today. It was the day of the spring fashion launch and she needed to be there on time to keep Feng Yi Lan's nervousness in check.
"Mr. Beelzebub, this is not over yet. Though I am running for time now, later in the evening when I return back, I wish to hear the happenings that brought such consequences out of the blue." She said eying the man before taking the seat at the table.
Just as they sat, the maids from behind came to quickly serve the food. And like heard from earlier, truly everything on the table was of her taste and preferences. Seeing all of it like that, for a moment Li Xue felt like one of those fortunate kids, whose parents pamper them by cooking their favorite dishes on special occasions.
Unfortunately, she never had such fortune in her life. But today, with this man's care and dotingness towards her, things have come to be possible. Her lips curled up on her own as she looked at him. "From the next time, don't always torture the chefs like this. I might like having my favorite dishes occasionally, but if it becomes regular, it will turn out to be boring." She said before scooping some of it to put into her mouth.
Feng Shufen looked at her and just nodded as per her agreement. While on the side, the maids could only horrifically stare at the woman.
Who said that this woman could not be the future house mistress of Fengs? If she could make the cold, indifferent, Young Master give in to her wishes without doing anything special, then no one else could be as capable as her to stand in that position.
They have witnessed it with their own eyes. Both the peril of Head Maid and the glory and power of the Madam. In no way, they would be a fool to think otherwise.
Some time back, early in the morning, when the maids came to start the work for the day; they were taken aback to find the Head Maid on her knees in front of the Ultimate Judge of the World. Her tears streamed down her eyes like regretting her whole life.
They weren't able to make much from the situation except that the woman had lied and offended Madam in a way. And as a result, no second chance was given to her and she was fired mercilessly, without giving any regard to loyalty with which she has served the family in the past years.
Wu Jiaqi was sent away while the remaining were given a tough lesson to understand the position Li Xue has in the house as well as in the heart and thoughts of the man.
A position that was not easy to offend!
"Let's stick to Madam's side from now on, or else, the consequences will be dire to take", A maid commented in a low voice as her eyes slightly glanced at Li Xue who was enjoying her breakfast.
"I have already said earlier, but none took me seriously. Back in Little Carnations, it was also the same. With Madam around, Young Master seems to remain gentle to everyone, unless and until anyone comes to harm and disrespect the lady." The other maid gave her side of the view.
While the maids discussed things among themselves, at the table, Feng Shufen suddenly asked, "On the internet, how are things now?"
At that question, Li Xue at once paused. Putting down her fork, she looked up at the man and asked in surprise, "Did you do something already?"
The man shook his head and the woman just nodded and continued, "Exactly, I was doubting that as well. Because nothing much has happened on the internet. The judging comments are still on, but it has grown mild after the engagement dates for Zheng Wenting and Wen Sying were announced. I think it was his way to deal with her issues. Anyway, that has helped a little, but the results of today's fashion show are still not confirmed as the public view regarding me has not changed much. Let's see how things go."
"…" Feng Shufen nodded his head, not giving any special word in response.
Seeing him only nod and not give any word in response, Li Xue also didn't describe much. She took back her fork and resumed her eating, but then suddenly stopped to add something she had forgotten in her previous words. "By the way, since things are not that severe anymore, don't bother much about it. I think things will be fine in the end. You must have urgent work to attend to and looking into these trivial things will only call your time unnecessarily".
She said and to her words, Feng Shufen just hummed.
But little did Li Xue understand the meaning of that hum. Or more to say she has misunderstood the meaning behind it.
Trivial matters? Any matter that had concerned her was the most important thing for him to look at. There was no way he would let it pass simply. Furthermore, didn't he already say that his blow will come in her aid at the end with perfect timing to change all her odds into evens?
How could he now disregard the promise he has given to her?
