Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 135 - Look down on your Head Chef.

On the other side, Li Xue was feeling quite relieved in her heart. After having a talk with Feng Shufen, her anxious heart calmed, getting back to its composure. Though she has to urgently disconnect the call, without answering his questions, he didn't seem to mind her urgency.

"My dear Xena!" Chen Yujian repeated once again when he did not get any reply from the woman.

"Xena? Whom do you think you are addressing with that name?" Li Xue asked, raising her brows with a serious expression.

Copying the same serious expression of the woman, the man turned his head to the right and then to the left as in search of someone. "I don't find anyone else here. This station is very much secluded from the others. So, of course, it's you, whom can I be addressing with such a dear name" he said, with a flirty smile plastered over his lips, intending his best to tease her.

For some reasons he liked her irked expressions, like something that was a most attractive rare sight he had ever come across. "And furthermore, I don't think that the name can fit any other woman better than you. So I called you Xena and you too reciprocated to it". He added his words.

"Fine, I can't tie your mouth. It's your liberty however you want to use it. But as for my intern, I have to be responsible for all his obedient and disobedient actions. So you better remember that and follow the proper moves", she once again reminded him, but at this moment a small mocking chuckle came from behind pulling the two people's attention at once.

When looked, it was two girls, who looked all same in their looks, might be twin sisters by blood or something like that. They were dressed in the same dress code of whited full-sleeved side buttoned chef blouse with a pleated black above knee-length skirt, as Chen Yujian. So Li Xue assumed them to be interns too.

"Sorry, is there something you need here?" Li Xue asked in a soft polite tone which was all opposite to the one she has used with the man. Seeing her change her personality so quickly, Chen Yujian felt unjust at the scene. 'Woman, why are you so biased against me? So cruel when it comes to me while so kind with others'

His lips curled to form a pout as his eyes accused Li Xue of the injustice. The two girls, who were standing at the door, felt pity for him. Ignoring the question asked to them by Li Xue, they walked in. "Brother Yujian, are you alright?" one of them asked sympathetically.

When Li Xue heard their words, she was also taken aback, not able to comprehend what made them ask this. But when turned to look at the man to whom this sympathy was intended to, she was speechless.

Chen Yujian didn't say anything. He just kept his eyes at the woman he was interested in, maintaining the pout that was needed to win the game. "Brother Yujian seems so pitiful", the other girl added.

Then turning on her heels to look at Li Xue, she said with a little rage. "You have just joined here. How can you behave so arrogantly?" Her eyes filled with her own prejudiced thoughts.

"Sorry?" Li Xue said with her brows scrunched a little with a small chuckle on her lips. She looked at the man who was standing behind feigning all innocence and pity in his expressions. When Chen Yujian's gaze got locked with the woman, he simply pushed his shoulders back, shrugging off the blame from his shoulders.

"Exactly! This is your first day and you are behaving so rudely with Brother Yujian. Can't you value him?" the other girl added, deliberately showing her fuming expressions.

Squinting her eyes at him, she trailed to look at the two girls as her words got out, "And who do you think you are teaching this? Can you tell me the position you hold to lecture me here?". Her words were sharp and exact. Since these girls came to her with rudeness then why would she compel herself to be soft and kind to them?

"You … you … don't you know us? I am He Lian" one girl said getting all agitated. "And I am He Ling," the other girl said as if their name itself had a high value. "And we are interns under Head Chef Ning Meiling", both of them added with an all proud attitude.

"Is it? Then are you here to make me look down on your Head Chef?" she said blatantly, without any ounce of fear or thought, making the twinnie's eyes wide in surprise or more in horror.

"What do you mean by that?" He Lian asked in exasperation.

"I mean exactly what I said.? Looking at you two, I can only blame your chef for not making you learn well. As an intern under her care, shouldn't she be responsible for your actions?" Li Xue said, not giving any face to anyone. Her eyes went to look at the two from top to bottom, realizing another difference they held in their dresses than the others.

"You … do you know about whom you are talking?" He Ling almost yelled out, pointing out her finger towards Li Xue.

Li Xue looked at her and just let out another soft chuckle. Her eyes definitely mocking them to the fullest. "Sorry, as you said I am new here. How can I know the people working here? But at least I am sure that you two are overstepping your limits by questioning me here. Being an intern, questioning a Head Chef is without any doubt, punishable."

Chen Yujian was amused. Deciding to enjoy the play, he turned around to get a chair but before he could get himself relaxed on the seat, Li Xue asked him to halt his steps. "Chen Yujian, I feel like the counter feels a little dusty. Help me dust it off. And also make necessary preparations required to begin the work"

Did he really think that he would be able to become an audience of the show he created? Only in his dreams! Li Xue muttered with a smirk.

"Hey! Are you still going to make him work? Don't you know who he is? He is …" He Ling wanted to say more but was interrupted in between. "It looks like I need to help Chef Ning in disciplining you two here and at the same time give a good example to the fellows under me"

Li Xue said rubbing her chin while giving some thoughts.

"Huh? Are you saying that you are going to discipline us?" He Lian said, folding her arms over her chest and getting all haughty with her attitude.

Li Xue lips curled, even more, seeing them getting so arrogant. "Hmmm … I actually said that. Wasn't my words clear before?"

"You can't do that. We are not under you. Only our Head Chef Ning can order us". Both sisters were all sure with their knowledge of rules, but little did they expect that their information was too narrow to understand the ways of the woman they have messed with. Li Xue's lips showed the hints of a mockery arc when she came across baseless confidence of the twins.
