Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 125 - Life of a single child is really tough.

Li Xue remained all nonchalant at the words. Nurturing an aspirant chef under her is like an opportunity which only comes with experience. And being a newcomer to this capital station, she knew that she has yet to reach that stage.? To some extent, she had an idea of the kiddish-trick that must have occurred behind the scene as she has never been a character to remain in the oblivion in the drama. But not being sure of it, she could not go outrageous.

Her eyes turned to look at the man who was displaying his smirk at the scene as he had single-handedly won some war against some powerful country. His childish prideful look irked the woman to the core. She so wanted to punch that face of his and wipe out that smirk but she knew well that it was something that was against the social etiquette she follows.

So reverting her gaze back at the middle-aged Executive Chief, she worded out her words to clear her thoughts in a very polite manner. "Bringing up a new talent is itself a big challenge for any chef. Not only because it requires a lot of hard work and experience but also because of the tough responsibility that comes along with it. Someone's career and future become the stakes of such challenges".

"I, myself, am a newcomer to this place and need you to guide me. How can I be someone suitable to guide others in this field? I think I am still far behind to reach that stage, Chief", she paused as she completed her words and then presenting a plain, professional smile over her lips, she bent slightly forward to show her respect, "I would ask for apologies if my words sounded any impolite to your honour. It was just my thoughts that I wanted to present".

Huo Rong was quite impressed by her words. Not only she knew how to carry herself but she was also quite well in her words. Presenting your thoughts in a suitable way was something that was not easy. Many people even after spending their whole life couldn't learn the way to talk, but here this woman has just started her life and has already mastered such an important skill.

If it had been some other in her place, they would never dare to shrug off such a golden opportunity from their hand. Not only this chance could shoot her career up but will also allow her to bag many other opportunities. But this woman here was all apathetic to it, acting with her right brain, not on her impulse.

On the side, Chen Yujian was also amused. The more he looked at the woman; the more he felt amazed. It was not only her looks that were attractive to his senses but also the tanginess she carried in her ways provoked him to know her a little better. And now seeing her being so perfect in her way of retaliating, he just could not keep his eyes away from her. His determination to stick with her and know her in a better way became stronger in his heart.

"I can understand your worries, Ms Li Xue. But I can still say that you had the talent to take this chance forward. If you are fearing the stakes of this challenge, then I will assure you with my help. If you ever need any help, I will be there to guide you as I said", the Executive Chief affirmed with confidence. Even if he did not know her better, still he can tell that she was someone he can put his beliefs on.

Li Xue was about to say something again but before she could, Chen Yujian stood up to interject. "Xena! Are you concerned for my career? Woohoo!! I am blessed that I am going to have such a beautiful and caring supervisor in my internship days" he said, clasping his hands dramatically at his front.

Li Xue almost rolled her eyes at his words. This kid was really testing her limits now. If not being in this office, in front of her superior then she would really have not hesitated to smack his auburn head hard. "Of course, I need to think. I can't take the blame and curses of ruining someone's career", she answered in her words of professionalism.

"Haha … don't worry, you will never be blamed. I will make sure of that. But as you say I think there may be chances of my future getting ruined. Then how will I manage my life and my future wife? I need to think about my future kids too. Sigh! Life of a single child in a family is really tough", Chen Yujian again lamented dramatically.

Hearing him say something like that, Huo Rong was all dumbfounded. He felt like his ears had heard some sinful things for which there is no redemption in this world. If the young master of Chen family takes himself to be so vulnerable being the sole heir of his family, then he doubts there would be anyone enjoying the lavishness of wealth in this country.

He was all quizzical to the scenes unfolding in front of him, not knowing the reason for which he was witnessing all this. He was about to raise her words to understand it better but halted when another set of exciting words came out to liven the drama.

"Yeah, Xena!!! I got an idea for ourselves", His excitement exaggerated the tone he has used. Li Xue was also taken aback by the strength he has used in that exaggeration. "What?'ourselves'?are you talking about? I didn't ask you to think about me. I am capable of thinking about myself. So please don't stress yourself for me"

Li Xue said, bringing her twitched lips back to normal. She also wanted to ask what was with that fantastical name, he was calling her with but then thinking about something in her brain, she went against it.

"There is nothing stressful in this, Xena. Just a little twist to my thinking process and also in the requirement needed was enough to bring me a suitable idea. Instead of thinking, 'what I can do with a ruined future'; I thought about 'what I can do around you with that ruined future'. It was really not tough, rather was very easy to begin", Chen Yujian said. His eyes shining with a delight, proclaiming an achievement to be praised.
