Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 677 - Candy will be snatched away in a blink of eye.

"Ummm … you have clicked good pictures, right?" Feng Yi Lan asked the photographer, looking through the reels in the camera.

The photographer at once nodded with appreciation. "Yes, Ma'am! Each and every snap has come out the best. I must say Ms. Wen has really learned well how to pose in camera". New chapters are published on ɴovel(F)ɪre

"Is that so? Yes, looking through this I cannot deny your words, Michael. But you know fake people have to be good on camera, otherwise, how could they make people believe in them," Feng Yi Lan agreed with a smile of contempt.

"But Ma'am, I feel like the pictures of Ms. Li Xue have come out more naturally beautiful and elegant. Her pictures have got many good points that can be seen if people look through both model's pictures together".

The PR staff, whom Feng Yi Lan has called to discuss the further things said while scrolling through Li Xue's images on the laptop. The theme was the same bridal collection. Not all the bridal outfits they tried were the same, but there were still some similarities in the designs.

"Mhm … we are actually planning that with these two sets of pictures. What do you guys think?" Feng Yi Lan asked, getting a sly smile over her lips. Looking at her like that, the two employees at her front were confused. But right then a foreign voice interrupted their confusion from behind.

"It's simple. We can let the public decide who looks better". Xiao Meng said, suddenly appearing from behind. And at those words, at once three pairs of eyes snapped to look at her, two in horror while one with satisfaction.

Feng Yi was impressed. "You got it right there. Did you guys understand what we have to do next?"

"But Boss that … that would be unethical, wouldn't it?"

"Yes, Ma'am! It will be against our working rules. Revealing the pictures of two models dressed in a similar style for the public to compare will be something not right for us to do."

Both the photographer and the PR staff of the brand said one after the other, but the firm expression on Yi Lan's face did not waver. Though the plan which the woman directed looked like unethical foul play, in actuality it wasn't.

"Who told you to bring out both of their pictures? Who are we to do that? Li Xue is our brand's face, not Wen Sying. So, we will release only hers for public testing. And from when releasing the brand's model picture has become unethical in the industry?" Feng Yi Lan said, making her righteous side all firm enough to not leave anyone with doubt or question.

What she said was right. A brand could freely release pictures of their models to know the public's thoughts about them. There wasn't anything unfair in that.

"Okay Ma'am, we will release the picture of Ms. Li Xue soon," The PR personnel said but Xiao Meng interrupted again.

"Not soon! We should either release it after or just at the time Ms. Wen Sying releases her picture from today. Only then will it come the way we want".

And Feng Yi Lan could not help and nod impressively at her suggestion. "You are quite a witty girl. No doubt Li Xue appreciates you so much but …" She was about to continue for more, but just then her eyes caught the show going on at a distance that almost made her cough out blood.

"Pfft … what is this girl planning now? She will make me dead someday. Only if my brother could see her like this, this world would have ended right away." She said slowly under her breath as she saw the look Li Xue was giving to Zheng Wenting for some time now.

At the front, Zheng Wenting no longer knew how to react. He stared at Li Xue as his eyes showed expressions mixed with happiness, longingness as well as confusion. "Li Xue, you were also here?" He asked with some hurry in his voice but instead of giving him any response straightforwardly, the woman just moved her eyes to look at the intertwining arms together.

At her such sudden gaze, the man instantly pulled himself away, ready to explain, without giving any concern to Wen Sying. "Li Xue, I …" He started but before he could even begin himself properly, the woman halted him in a very polite tone.

"Good evening, CEO Zheng. I was here for some work. But now that it's completed, I will take my leave first, you two enjoy the rest of the time. I am already getting late" Li Xue said, before turning to look at Wen Sying with some meaning.

Wen Sying felt a little insulted, noticing Zheng Wenting's gaze and eagerness for Li Xue. A trace of deep hostility flashed in her eyes as she quickly went forward to wrap her arms again around the man, tugging him a little for attention. "Wenting, I said to you earlier. She got late because of me, so I offered a ride with us. What do you say?"

At that tug on his arms and voice beside, Zheng Wenting was snapped out from his own trance of thoughts. "Sure, it's already getting late. We can go together". He said, nodding to the woman beside her, while still looking at Li Xue.

"I don't think that would be the right idea. I have got my assistant here and also a car from the company. I would be all fine with them. You don't have to bother." Li Xue said with a smile as slowly and slowly her expression once again became aloof. "Furthermore, I would advise Ms. Wen to not be so reckless in involving another woman in her personal space with CEO Zheng." She paused with some meaning, giving a known look to Sying.

"Otherwise her candy will be snatched away in just a blink of an eye and she would not be even able to trace it back". She continued, ending her words with a smirk and leaving at once, without glancing at anyone behind. Though the words were offending, none got the time to react.

The warning was evident in her words, enough to make everyone around hear. None understood the exact context behind it. But Zheng Wenting felt the piercing twitch in his heart while Wen Sying could not help but prevent herself from stomping her foot on the floor.

"Wenting, I tried but it seems like I had ruined it to no return. Li Xue still makes me feel guilty and I think she will be like that for the rest of her life. What should I do? I want to turn things back but she is not giving me chance". Wen Sying said with an expression of pain and redemption.

"It's okay, Sying. We were at fault and she has got the rightful right to be angry at us. I hope she will get fine soon. Don't stress about it too much but rest. Come on! I will take you home first." The man said, consoling the woman under his arms while taking her away from the exit. But that was not before, he turned again to check Li Xue walking away from them.

The expression of pain on her face not getting wiped off from his memories. What does she mean with that expression? Was she troubled to see him with Wen Sying like this? He did not know but was dying to learn.
