Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 77 - Ashamed to introduce her boyfriend.

Li Xue almost got choked on the waitress' words. She has mentioned something about her fiancée. When did she get one in her life? Fiancée? Like really?

She looked at the people who were staring at her like she was some kind of wonder of this world. She was shocked by the revelation too. Beside her Wen Sying was not able to contemplate the things too.

She turned to look at the man whose face was death shocked. His eyes were continuously fixed on the woman who has behaved all indifferent from the moment they have met and now he has come to know that there has been another man in her life.

"Wenting?" Sying called out softly as she tugged on his arms. The man was brought back to the present time after he heard the soft frail voice of the woman. He turned his eyes to look at her. There was a dire concern in her eyes. "Wenting, I think Li Xue is in some trouble. Look at her, she looks clearly shocked too, like she has heard the mention of his fiancée for the first time. I know her the best. She has been my friend from the very beginning. How would I not know her?"

Zheng Wenting too looked at her. He so wanted to believe her words but the indifference that Li Xue was showing to him was making it no good. It was making him feel that the woman has long moved on from him and did not even have any ounce of feelings for him. And that realization was making his heart hardened.

"Li Xue, you got a fiancée, but you did not tell us about him. That's not fair" someone said, his voice laced with disappointment like some opportunity got snatched away from him.

"I agree, at least you should have told us. Look your fiancée has been so considerate by paying the bill, we should thank him"

"He has spent so much here. Is he some wealthy businessman or he is also some employee from Feng Internationals?" Other one questioned.

The woman was all stiffened at their words. She did not know what she should say? They were questioning about the person whom she did not know. She turned to look at the waitress and was about to ask when suddenly her phone rang in her purse. All attention instantly got attracted towards the call.

The name that displayed on the cellphone screen gave her thunderbolt. Handsome Angel! 'When did his number get into my phone?' She tried her best to remember it but failed. Blinking twice at the screen, she swiped on the call.

"Hello!"

"Done with your lunch?" asked the magnetic voice from the other side. Even without realizing, the woman's heart skipped a beat. How did he come to know that she was gone for lunch?

"Yes, almost done. How … I mean … Did you pay for lunch?" she asked, praying in her heart for both acceptance and denial at the same time. Her heart wanted him to be the one behind it, so she can feel an ease. Though she had no idea why she would feel the ease if the man being called her fiancée is him? And at the same time she wanted him to deny her words thinking that will create some other story.

"Who else do you expect to pay for you, if not me?" he asked, then without waiting added another sentence, "It's only right for me to pay for you"

"…" the woman was all stumped at his choice of words. What does he mean by those words? Why is he always intending to give her such tough roller coaster rides? "Oh okay!" not knowing what to say, only two words escaped her lips.

"I am waiting for you outside. You can come when your work is done", he said and then waited for her to reply.

"Huh? Ah I will come", she said as she quickly disconnected the call, ready to leave.

At this moment someone again asked, "Li Xue, was that really your fiancée?" The woman did not say anything but smiled and picked up her handbag.

Seeing her leaving, Wen Sying quickly stood up. "Li Xue, you are leaving? We have yet to talk about so many things. You can come with us"

The woman smiled as she removed her hands, "I was here for the lunch and it's already completed, so I should leave. Like I said before I have some works to do"

"Okay then we can send you where you are going. Wenting and I are free and we can even accompany you and drive you back", she said again as she turned to look at the man to get his words of encouragement.

Zheng Wenting, who was looking at all her movements from the beginning said, "Yes, let's go together. I have no work this evening".

"Li Xue … we are just", Sying wanted to say some more words but before she could even begin properly, Li Xue looked at her watch and waved her hand. "No need, I already have someone waiting for me outside. I would not want to bother you guys anymore. Since Mr. Zheng has got some free time, you both should spend it together. I will leave now"

She said and tried to walk past everyone to get outside soon. She can't make the man outside wait for her. It would really be deplorable if anyone came to know that she has made 'the Feng Shufen' to wait for her.

But was that her fault? No, she has definitely not asked the man to come here after her. Thinking of this, she really wanted to know what was his plans behind his arrival?

But once again before she could leave, Wen Sying held her. "Li Xue, is the person waiting outside really your fiancée?" she asked, her expression can easily make anyone go nuts in the path of reality.

Li Xue did not say anything, just waited for her to complete her words once for all. "It's okay, you can tell us. If he is then we are really excited for you. Right Wenting?" she said and then turned to look at the man who was behaving like he had lost something really important.

He did not say anything, but the woman named Maomao jumped in between. "Sying, why are you asking her? Look at her, she is clearly trying her best to hide it. It can only mean two things, either the man is not serious with her and just toying her around or he might be some old man whom she is ashamed to introduce as her boyfriend"

Seeing the story of insults beginning again, Li Xue really felt a headache. Pinching the space in between her brows, she said "How does my personal life concern you all? Is there any need for me to explain things to you?"

"See told you. She is embarrassed to bring her fiancée in front of everyone. That's why she is just creating an excuse here. She is fearing that she will lose against Sying. CEO Zheng is rich and handsome. His family has a listed company. In terms of man, no one could dominate our Sying. So she is just avoiding the humiliation", Maomao said, being all adamant on her words.

"Maomao, that's enough. You are being too much today. Don't spout rubbish like that" Wen Sying chided but in her heart she felt good. Somewhere in her heart she too believed her words to be true. She just can't believe that after what happened 5 years back, Li Xue could get any good man in her life.

Finally, she has got something where Li Xue can't intimidate her.

But right at this moment a voice came from the entrance, "Any problem?". That voice was fresh and fruity and had the power to attract everyone's attention towards it like a charmer.
